Web hosting & maintenance
Managed Web Hosting for Small Businesses
By Jim Robbins, co-founder of Iron Pixel · Updated October 14, 2026
Iron Pixel includes secure, managed web hosting and maintenance with every website we build - there's no separate hosting bill, no control panel to learn and no plugins to update. Plans start at $200/month and also include your custom website, Google Business Profile optimization and ongoing support from a Missouri-based team.
Free website mockup before you pay anything · Launch in 3–7 business days · $500 setup (normally $1,000)
What "managed hosting" means here
Traditional web hosting rents you server space and leaves the rest to you: installing software, applying updates, renewing security certificates, fixing things when they break. That's fine if you have a web developer on staff. Most small businesses don't.
With Iron Pixel, hosting is part of a complete website service. We build the site, host it, keep it secure and make changes when you need them. You call or text when something needs updating, and it gets done.
What's included
- Hosting for your custom-built website
- Secure HTTPS on every page
- Ongoing maintenance and updates handled for you
- Web support whenever you need a change - new photos, prices, services or pages
- Mobile-first, fast-loading design (speed affects both Google rankings and how many visitors call)
- Search Console and Google Analytics set up so you can see your traffic
Hosting vs. a website service: the real cost
| Option | Typical cost | Who does the work |
|---|---|---|
| Shared hosting (GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc.) | Low monthly fee + your time | You - setup, updates, security and fixes |
| DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace) | Monthly subscription | You - design, content and SEO |
| Iron Pixel | From $200/mo, all-in | Us - site, hosting, maintenance and support |
The cheapest hosting isn't cheap if your site is slow, insecure or out of date, or if it takes you a weekend every time something needs changing. For a business that depends on phone calls, the website's job is to make the phone ring - hosting is just one part of that.

Frequently asked questions
Is hosting included with an Iron Pixel website?
Yes. Secure hosting and maintenance are included in every plan - Launch ($200/mo), Grow ($400/mo) and Dominate ($600/mo).
Do you sell hosting on its own?
Hosting is part of our complete website service rather than a standalone product. That's what lets us keep your site secure, fast and up to date without you managing it.
What if I already have a website somewhere else?
We'll build a free mockup of a new site so you can compare it with what you have before you pay anything. If you switch, we launch in 3–7 business days.
Who do I call if something needs to change?
Us. Call or text 314-596-7513 and you'll reach Jim or Lindsay. Ongoing support is included in every plan.
Do I need to sign a long-term hosting contract?
No. Our plans don't require long-term contracts.
