Upstream Creatives

Hosting

The site stays up. The email arrives. Someone answers when it doesn’t.

Managed website hosting and business email in South Africa. SSD hosting, free SSL, unlimited mailboxes on your domain, daily backups, malware protection and a planned migration if you are moving across.

The challenge

Websites fail quietly. Plugins go stale, backups are untested, info@ stops delivering, and nobody notices until a customer mentions it.

Our approach

We host the site and the mailboxes on fast, looked-after infrastructure — SSL, daily backups, spam filtering and a person to call — so the marketing work is not sitting on an unattended plan.

What changes

A site that is still fast a year later, email that looks like the business, and a cutover that does not become a weekend emergency.

After launch

The files, the mailboxes, and a person to call.

SSD hosting, business email on your domain, free SSL and daily backups — looked after, not left on an unattended plan.

What’s included

The work, named. Not a menu of extras after the quote.

01

Website hosting

South African SSD hosting on LiteSpeed, with a control panel when you need one. Built for WordPress, shops and custom sites — not a forgotten shared box.

02

Business email

info@yourdomain.co.za, as many mailboxes as you need. Webmail, Outlook and phones, with spam filtering so the inbox is actually usable.

03

Domain names

Register or transfer the address people type. Hosting is the house. The domain is the street number. We set both up so they match.

On us

Free SSL on every site

HTTPS, installed and renewed. The padlock is not an extra.

05

Daily offsite backups

Encrypted copies stored off the live server. Restores on request — not a backup nobody has ever tested.

06

Site and email migration

We move the files, the mailboxes and the DNS with a planned cutover. You should not have to become a sysadmin for an afternoon.

07

Security that runs in the background

Malware scanning, DDoS protection and spam filtering on the mail. The boring work that keeps a live site from becoming a warning page.

08

Uptime, watched

N+1 datacentre design, 24/7 monitoring and a 99.9% uptime target. When something breaks, there is a person to call — not a ticket abyss.

09

One-click installs when they help

WordPress and the usual stack, provisioned quickly. We still build the custom work. This is for the sites that need a solid home, fast.

10

Room to grow

Start on shared hosting. Move to a VPS when the site, the traffic or the app needs its own box. Same conversation, not a new vendor.

11

Website care

Updates, uptime checks and a defined channel for small changes, so the site does not quietly rot after launch.
