tourism website. Every month.

Monthly plans that keep your site fast, secure and up to date — with direct developer access and no call centres.

Monthly Care Plans

We build it. We keep it perfect.

Every website and app we build comes with the option of full ongoing care. Hosting on a fast global edge network, SSL certificate, daily security scans, backups — and a direct line to the team who built it.

No call centres. No ticket queues. No chatbots. Just your developer, directly available when you need them. One monthly fee, total peace of mind.

Global edge CDN — fast everywhere in the world
SSL certificate included — always up to date
Daily automated backups
Security monitoring and malware scanning
Content updates included in your plan
Monthly performance report
Direct developer access — not a call centre
99.9%+ uptime on edge infrastructure
What your monthly fee covers

Far more than web space.

Your monthly fee is not for a slot on a server. It is a fully managed platform — your site delivered fast and securely across the world, your data looked after, and a real person responsible for keeping it that way. Here is everything working behind the scenes.

🌐

Your site, delivered

Served from a fast global network, so it loads instantly whether a guest is in London or Cape Town
Secure encrypted connection (SSL), renewed automatically
Built on enterprise infrastructure designed to stay online
Updates published in seconds with no downtime, and reversible instantly
🗃

Your data & content

A professional managed database holding your tours, itineraries, enquiries and bookings
Secure logins where needed — each person sees only what they should, enforced at the deepest level
Continuous automatic backups, recoverable if anything goes wrong
High-resolution image and file storage, optimised so pages stay fast
🛡

Security

Hardened infrastructure — no plugins or outdated software, the weak points behind most hacked sites
The building blocks of your site monitored for vulnerabilities and patched
All access protected with multi-factor and hardware-key security
Email authentication so others cannot spoof messages pretending to be you

Smart features & reach

Where your site uses intelligent features, the ongoing usage and integration are included
Structured so search engines and AI assistants understand and surface it correctly
Images, code and delivery continually tuned so pages load fast
DNS and domain routing managed and protected

And the part that isn't a server at all

Ongoing maintenance and monitoring — the platform kept current and watched
A real person who responds — someone who knows your site and fixes it, not a ticket in a queue
Peace of mind — your site working, staying secure, and never becoming your problem to manage

A note on comparing prices

You will find hosting advertised for a few dollars a month, or a hundred dollars a year. That is a genuine product — but a different one: a slot on a server shared with hundreds of other sites, with no management, no security hardening and no support. It is also, not by coincidence, the kind of setup behind most of the hacked and blacklisted sites you read about. What you pay for here is not disk space. It is everything above, kept running and secure, so it never becomes something you have to think about.

Optional, should you want it

Take the wheel whenever you choose.

Many clients are happy for us to handle everything — and we do. But should you ever want to manage things yourself, a full self-publishing dashboard is there when you need it, with our review step keeping the design and SEO safe behind the scenes. Use as much or as little of it as suits you.

Edit your own site content

Every text region on your site, grouped by page. Edits save straight to the live site and the design stays exactly as built.

Publish pages, news and offers

Create new pages, blog posts, offers and guides in your site's own template. Everything passes through our review before it goes live, so nothing breaks.

Manage your itineraries

Build and edit your trip packages and itineraries. Drafts come to us for a polish before publishing.

A traveller portal

Give clients a secure login to see their own itinerary, invoices and payment link — each traveller sees only their own, never anyone else's.

Capture and track enquiries

A simple sales pipeline: drag each enquiry from new through to booked, with a reply that opens a pre-filled email.

Send app notifications

Where you have a companion app, send a push notification to your guests — and see how each one performed in your analytics.

Performance at a glance

Website, search and app performance together in one view, so you can see what's working.

AI writing assistance

On-tap help drafting copy, alt text, page titles and ready-to-post social content for each channel — included as fair use.

Your media library

Keep your photography in one place, every image carrying a description, ready to drop into the site.

Manage billing

View what's due, pay securely, and download past invoices — all in one place.

None of this is required of you. It is simply available — switched on for your site whenever you would like it, at no extra cost.

What you actually get

Everything included, in one view.

Low-cost hosting and a managed platform are different products. Here is what is covered as standard with Charnette, set against what a typical low-cost hosting plan leaves you to arrange, secure and fix yourself.

Comparison is with commodity shared hosting plans generally available. What a low-cost plan includes varies by provider; the point is the category, not any one company.

What our hosting and care includes

We don't build and disappear.

Plenty of agencies build a site, hand over a login and vanish — leaving you to wrestle with hosting, updates, security and the inevitable small fixes alone, or to chase a developer who has moved on to the next project. For a tourism business whose website is a working sales tool, that is a real operational risk. A site that is slow, broken or insecure at the wrong moment costs you bookings and credibility.

Our hosting and care model is the opposite. We host everything we build on a fast global edge network, keep it secure and backed up, and stay directly available to the people who actually built it — no call centres, no ticket queues to nowhere. One monthly fee covers the hosting, the maintenance and the ongoing relationship, so your site stays fast, current and looked after while you get on with running your business.

Fast, global, reliable

We host on a fast global edge network so your site loads quickly wherever your guests and trade partners are — and stays up when it matters. Performance and reliability are part of the service, not an upsell.

Secure and backed up

SSL, security monitoring and regular backups come as standard, so a problem is prevented where possible and recoverable when not. Your site and its content are protected without you having to think about it.

Direct access to the builders

When you need a change or hit a problem, you reach the people who built your site — directly. No call centres, no anonymous ticket queues. One relationship, one monthly fee, ongoing care.

Hosting & maintenance questions

What does the monthly fee actually cover?

Hosting on a fast global edge network, SSL, security monitoring, regular backups, maintenance and direct access to the team who built your site. It is the hosting and the ongoing relationship in one predictable monthly cost.

Do you only host sites you've built?

Our hosting and care is designed around the sites we build, so we can stand behind their performance and security end to end. That tight integration is exactly what lets us keep them fast and reliable.

What happens if something breaks or I need a change?

You contact the people who built the site, directly, and we deal with it — no call centre, no ticket queue. Ongoing care and direct access are the whole point of the model.

What does Charnette Labs hosting include?

All hosting plans include: Global edge CDN, SSL certificate, daily backups, uptime monitoring, security updates, core software updates and direct developer access. We host all sites we build and are responsible for performance — not a third-party support ticket queue.

How much does tourism website hosting cost?

Every project is scoped and priced individually — we tailor a proposal to your operation, audience and goals after a discovery conversation. We work in GBP, USD or ZAR depending on your business. Get in touch to start the conversation.

What happens if my website goes down?

Charnette Labs monitors all hosted sites 24/7. If your site goes down, we are alerted automatically and begin investigating immediately — you do not need to raise a ticket. For business-critical issues we aim to resolve within 2 hours.

Can Charnette Labs host a website built by someone else?

Yes, in most cases. We review the existing codebase before agreeing to host — if the code is clean and maintainable we are happy to take it on. We will advise honestly if we think the existing build has structural problems.
