AWS Hosting
Cloud environments designed around approved capacity, availability, storage, database and delivery requirements.
Managed Website Hosting
The right hosting environment, actively managed
Paradise Technologies hosts and manages many types of websites using Amazon Web Services and our own managed server infrastructure. We align the environment with the website's technology, traffic, security needs and importance to the business.

Hosting built around the website
A managed environment, not a one-size-fits-all package
Hosting decisions affect availability, security, speed, recovery and support. We review the application and business requirements before recommending AWS, our managed server infrastructure or another approved arrangement.
Our Managed Servers
Paradise Technologies-managed server environments for qualifying websites that fit the platform and service model.
Application Management
Coordination of the web server, PHP, database, caching and website software within the contracted scope.
Security Management
Cloudflare, access controls, software maintenance and server hardening appropriate to the selected environment.
Backup and Recovery
Documented backup, retention and restoration practices aligned with the website's needs and hosting plan.
Monitoring and Support
Availability and service monitoring, alert review, troubleshooting and escalation under defined support terms.
Websites we can host

We host straightforward informational websites as well as more demanding business environments. Every website is reviewed for software compatibility, storage, traffic, integrations and support requirements.
- Business and corporate websites
- WordPress websites and approved WordPress Multisite environments
- Custom PHP and database-driven websites
- Static HTML, CSS and JavaScript websites
- Landing pages and campaign websites

Two managed hosting approaches
AWS or Paradise Technologies-managed infrastructure
The best choice depends on the website, business requirements, expected growth and approved budget.
| Hosting approach | Often appropriate for | Management considerations |
|---|---|---|
| AWS hosting | Business-critical, scalable, specialized or multi-service website environments | Architecture, cloud services, monitoring, security, capacity and cost require active oversight |
| Our managed servers | Qualifying WordPress, PHP, HTML and business websites suited to the managed platform | Paradise Technologies manages the agreed server and website responsibilities as one service |
| Custom or hybrid arrangement | Website portfolios, legacy requirements or environments using multiple approved providers | Responsibilities, access, monitoring and escalation must be clearly documented |
Specific architecture, capacity, availability and service commitments are documented in the hosting proposal or agreement.
AWS website environments
Cloud infrastructure managed around application needs
AWS can support simple or complex website architectures. Paradise Technologies coordinates the approved cloud services and website environment while keeping responsibilities, access and costs visible.
- Environment design and service selection
- Compute and web-server coordination
- Managed database coordination where appropriate
- Object storage and static asset delivery
- Load balancing and scaling options when required
- Network, firewall and access observations
- Backup and recovery coordination
- Monitoring, alerting and cost observations
- Development, staging and production planning
Paradise Technologies-managed servers
A practical home for qualifying websites
Our managed server infrastructure provides a coordinated hosting and support relationship for websites that match the platform. Instead of separating the server from website care, we manage the agreed layers together.
- Managed Linux web-server environment
- PHP and database services as required
- Website, server and service monitoring
- Cloudflare, DNS and certificate coordination
- Scheduled maintenance and approved updates
- Backup and restoration procedures
- Technical support under the selected plan
- Capacity and storage reviewed before onboarding
Managed hosting responsibilities
The operational services behind the server
Exact inclusions vary by environment, but a managed hosting program can address the following areas.
Provisioning and Configuration
Prepare the approved environment, runtime, database, access and website configuration.
Monitoring and Alerts
Monitor selected availability and service conditions with defined notification and response procedures.
Maintenance Coordination
Plan server, PHP, database and website maintenance within the responsibilities of the agreement.
Security Controls
Apply appropriate access, network, application and edge controls for the managed environment.
Backup Management
Operate or coordinate the agreed backup schedule, retention and restoration process.
Technical Support
Troubleshoot covered hosting and website issues and coordinate with approved vendors when needed.
Cloudflare at the edge
Connect hosting, performance and security
We use Cloudflare where appropriate to manage DNS and place an edge layer between visitors and the hosting environment. Configuration is coordinated with the website so caching and protection do not interfere with dynamic functions.
- Managed DNS and proxy configuration
- SSL/TLS and certificate coordination
- Content delivery and caching rules
- DDoS mitigation and traffic controls
- Web application firewall coordination
- Origin exposure and access review
- Cache clearing procedures for releases
Backups, continuity and recovery
Plan for recovery before it is needed
A hosting platform is only one part of availability. Recovery requires current data, clear procedures and realistic expectations.
Backup Schedule
Frequency is selected according to how often website files, content and databases change.
Retention
Multiple restore points can help when a problem is not discovered immediately.
Storage Strategy
Backup location and access are considered separately from the active website environment.
Restoration Testing
Testing under the selected plan helps confirm that backups and procedures support recovery.
Recovery Priorities
Critical functions, contacts and dependencies are identified before an urgent event.
Incident Coordination
Paradise Technologies coordinates covered restoration and escalation activities.
Website migration and onboarding
Move the website through a controlled process
A successful migration protects content, functionality, email delivery, search visibility and customer access. We document the current environment, prepare the destination and plan the DNS change before cutover.
- Website and hosting discovery
- Software, database and dependency inventory
- Storage, traffic and resource review
- Backup before migration
- Destination setup and test copy
- Functional and visual verification
- DNS and Cloudflare cutover planning
- Post-launch monitoring and issue correction
- Retirement plan for the previous environment
Hosting performance
Match capacity and configuration to real demand
Website speed depends on the application, database, caching, Cloudflare, server resources and third-party services. We review the full delivery path before recommending more infrastructure.
Explore Website Performance- Web-server, PHP and database configuration
- Page, object and edge caching
- Image and static asset delivery
- Resource and capacity observations
- Slow request and error-log review
- Traffic growth and unusual load patterns
- Scaling or architecture recommendations
- Post-change performance verification
Clear hosting responsibilities
Know what is included before the website moves
A hosting agreement should identify the environment, resources, covered websites, backups, monitoring, support process, maintenance responsibilities, customer duties and services billed separately.
- No hosting provider can guarantee that downtime or security incidents will never occur
- Availability and response commitments must be stated in the service agreement
- Website development and content work may be separate from hosting
- Email hosting is separate unless specifically included
- Domain registration, software licenses and third-party fees are identified separately
- Traffic, storage or processing beyond the agreed capacity may require an adjustment
- Customer contacts and timely approvals are required for some changes

Website hosting questions
Frequently asked questions
Every recommendation begins with the website's technology, business role and support requirements.
Do you host every type of website?
We host many WordPress, PHP, HTML and other approved websites. We review each site for compatibility, security, resources, licensing and support needs before accepting it.
Should my website use AWS or your managed servers?
That depends on complexity, traffic, availability, integrations, growth and budget. Our assessment identifies the most appropriate option rather than assuming every site needs the same platform.
Is website maintenance included with hosting?
Hosting and maintenance responsibilities are listed in the selected plan or agreement. Some managed plans include both, while other environments use a separate hosting and care scope.
Can you move my existing website?
Yes, for qualifying websites. We review the current environment, prepare and test the destination, plan the DNS change and monitor the site after launch.
Do you manage Cloudflare and SSL certificates?
These services can be included. Exact responsibilities depend on account ownership, the Cloudflare plan, website architecture and the approved hosting agreement.
Does website hosting include email?
Email hosting is treated as a separate service unless it is specifically included. Keeping responsibilities clear helps avoid confusion during migration and support.
How much does managed hosting cost?
Pricing depends on the platform, resources, traffic, storage, backups, availability, security and support requirements. We provide a recommendation and quote after reviewing the website.
