The answer isn’t what most expect. It’s not more features. It’s not more dev hours. It’s a shift in how the service is delivered, and how it’s perceived. And truthfully, it’s a learning that’s still evolving. We’re speaking to agency founders every week.
Each conversation adds a layer, a new insight, a new approach, that makes a big difference.
Most care plans undercharge because they focus on tasks like backups, updates, malware scans.
But the agencies charging $500/month and up?
They package hosting as part of their performance promise.
When you manage the hosting layer, you control:
No blame-shifting between developers and hosting providers.
- One vendor. One answer.
- Better support flow.

Why Clients Prefer Hosting to Be Included?
You troubleshoot faster when you're not locked out of infrastructure.
Clients prefer one monthly invoice with everything included.
No need for clients to guess which hosting plan is “good enough.”
- Load speed
- Uptime
- Infrastructure response time
- And most importantly - client expectations
Clients no longer deal with hosting providers. You own the outcomes.
And that’s what justifies a premium care plan.
- Fewer decisions.
Use these proven models!
to start offering profitable Web Hosting
- White-Labelled Infrastructure Control
Use third-party hosting providers—but make the experience fully yours.
- Provision dedicated or container-based servers under your agency account
- Control every aspect: DNS, scaling, resource allocation, backups
- Present hosting as a core layer of your care plan, not an optional extra
- Remove third-party logins and fully white-label dashboards for clients
- Usage-Flex Hosting Pricing
This model links pricing to behavior—rewarding predictability, charging for disruption.
- Offer clients a lower monthly rate (e.g. $450) if they commit to:
- Batched updates
- Scheduled support windows
- Predictable traffic usage
- Apply usage surcharges when:
- Emergency fixes are requested
- Traffic surges require scaling
- Update requests break out of scope
This mirrors how cloud platforms price compute resources, you pay less when you’re predictable, more when you’re volatile.
- Outcome-based fees
