Who is SMWS Hosting best for?+
SMWS Hosting is built for small businesses that need dependable uptime, secure infrastructure, and practical room to grow.
Do hosting plans include SSL?+
Yes. All hosting plans include free SSL so your website can run over HTTPS securely.
Do I own my domain?+
Yes. Your domain belongs to you. SMWS can help register, transfer, configure, and renew it, but the domain should remain under your ownership with accurate registrant details.
Can I transfer my domain away later?+
Yes. You can transfer your domain away later as long as the domain is eligible for transfer and any standard registry rules are met. SMWS can help make sure you have the information needed, such as access to the domain account, DNS details, and any required transfer authorization code.
Can I host more than one site?+
Yes. Multi-site capacity depends on the plan you choose, with higher tiers supporting more websites.
Will I get cPanel access?+
Yes. Hosting plans include cPanel access for domain, email, file, and database management. Care plan clients can also request access when needed, even if SMWS is handling most of the technical work.
Do I get access to my website files?+
Yes. You can access your website files through cPanel, file manager, FTP, or another appropriate access method for your setup. SMWS does not lock your website files away from you.
Are daily backups included?+
Yes. Daily backups are included to help protect your website against data loss and recovery scenarios.
Can I run WordPress on these plans?+
Yes. Every hosting plan is WordPress ready and supports modern PHP versions and MariaDB.
Do you support WordPress, React, or both?+
Both. SMWS supports WordPress for content-managed business sites and React for custom frontends or application-style projects. The best fit depends on how much editing control, custom functionality, and long-term maintenance your website needs.
What if my business grows and needs more resources?+
You can upgrade to a higher hosting tier with more storage, websites, email accounts, and database capacity.
Do you support email hosting with my website?+
Yes. Each plan includes email account allowances based on the package level, and SMWS can help connect the records needed for website and email delivery.
Can SMWS help migrate my existing site?+
Yes. SMWS can review your current website, hosting, domain, email, DNS, and SSL setup, then plan the migration so downtime and risk are minimized.
Do you handle email, SSL, and DNS too?+
Yes. SMWS can help with business email accounts, SSL setup, DNS records, nameservers, and the related launch details that connect your domain, hosting, email, and website together.
What happens if I cancel hosting?+
If you cancel hosting, the website files, databases, email accounts, DNS hosting, backups, and SSL service tied to that hosting may stop being served by SMWS after cancellation. Before canceling, you should download or migrate anything you need, move DNS and email if required, and confirm where the website will live next. Your domain can remain yours separately from hosting, but it must point to active hosting somewhere for the website to stay online.
What is the easiest hosting option if I do not want to manage things myself?+
If you want less hands-on management, consider moving from DIY hosting into a Care plan where SMWS handles more of the work.
