Hosting, maintenance & support

Hosting and support with the ongoing costs explained.

A business application or integration needs an agreed place to run and a clear plan for upkeep. We assess hosting and support around the particular software, expected usage and responsibilities, then set out the recurring arrangements before billing begins.

Your business need

Match the service to what needs to stay running.

A hosted business application, a system with stored records and an AI integration can have different resource and support needs. We review those requirements as the software is built and estimate usage before launch. Your quote should make it clear which costs cover hosting, which cover upkeep and which are additional.

Possible projects

Examples to help define your scope.

These are illustrative project examples, not completed customer projects. Each request is assessed for fit before we agree to the work.

Software infrastructure

Hosting and maintenance for an agreed business software component, with an explicit resource allowance and support scope.

A hosted business application

An agreed environment for a custom application, with the included resources, expected usage and support responsibilities defined.

Maintenance or integration management

A specified set of maintenance, technical support or AI-integration management tasks, with third-party usage and recurring charges explained.

What the proposal defines

Know what will be delivered.

  • The agreed hosting or support arrangement, including the application or integration it covers and the responsibilities of each party.
  • The monthly fee, included resources and support, with the calculation and billing schedule for any variable usage charges.
  • A definition of included upkeep and how service changes, additional work, third-party costs and usage allowances are reviewed.

Deliverables, included revisions, acceptance criteria, third-party costs and recurring charges are specified in your proposal. Usage rights, ownership, licensing and any reuse or exclusivity arrangements are explained in the agreement.

Scope boundaries

The published ranges are planning guidance, not a guarantee of unlimited resources, unlimited changes or a fixed fee for every application. Hosting, upkeep and support can overlap; the quote identifies what is included and which services are additional. Response arrangements and any backup or recovery responsibilities must be specified in the agreement. No universal response-time, recovery-time or uptime guarantee is offered here.

How we work together

Agree the work before it begins.

  1. Assess the application

    Identify what needs hosting or support, the expected usage and the upkeep requirements.

  2. Agree recurring costs

    The proposal sets the monthly fee, included resources, support and calculation of usage or additional charges before recurring billing begins.

  3. Follow the agreed review process

    Monthly fees are paid in advance. Variable usage charges follow the agreement, and changes to service or allowances are reviewed as agreed.

Before paid work begins, we agree scope, price, deliverables, review, payment and support arrangements. Larger ideas may need a separately scoped first stage.

Read the project payment arrangements →

The agreement explains cancellation, refund, delivery and usage terms before payment. Integrations and more complex applications are assessed individually before any commitment.

Before you inquire

Common questions

Is hosting included in a development project?

Only if the proposal expressly includes it. Development, hosting, upkeep and technical support can be separate services. The quote explains any overlap so you can understand what each charge covers.

How is the final monthly fee determined?

We assess requirements as the software is built and estimate usage before launch. The agreed fee reflects the application, included resources and support. Measured usage or additional charges follow the calculation and billing schedule in the agreement.

Are domains, AI usage and paid APIs covered?

Third-party AI usage, domains, paid APIs and traffic beyond agreed limits are separately quoted or explicitly capped. They are not automatically unlimited or included in the base hosting fee.

Does support include new features?

Only work expressly included in the support scope is covered. New functions, broader changes and additional work are assessed and agreed separately where needed.
