the rest of us
Do you feel your web hosting is more concerned about profits than protecting your website?
Does the thought of calling to get support from your web host drive you to avoid it until you have to?
When you call, does your web host talk in geek speak, often confusing you even more?
Or maybe they tell you that it’s not their problem and they can’t help you?
Geek in Your Pocket Hosting is the cure for all the confusion & overwhelm.
Quick, Friendly & Non-Geek Speek
My clients work with me because they appreciate the time I take to explain things in an easy-to-understand way; no geek speak is used when communicating with you.
Superior Uptime
The servers I use have excellent uptime, meaning your site is online and available for your clients and visitors to find. I provide an uptime guarantee of 99%, and my guarantee includes almost every circumstance, not including your own mistakes, but I will help you fix those.
Experience
I’ve been working with websites in some form since 2006, I know my way around web hosting, maintenance and security for WordPress websites.
Just Right for Your Business
My service is big enough to scale with you as your business grows, but still personable enough to provide you with the personal touch and service you can’t get with larger web hosts.
I'm Here for You & Your Business
While I offer technical services to my clients, my business is built for many of the same reasons you launched yours. I’ve created a business so I can have the time freedom to enjoy other aspects of my life, just like I guess you have. If I don’t have a quick answer, I will point you to references that will help you when needed.

Miracle Mom Method
For the first time since I started my blog 3 years ago, everything went crazy. My blog went down, my ads disappeared, and I started to lose my mind.
The only thing I knew to do was to contact Renee. She had already been taking care of the technical side of things, and I knew this was beyond me.
I was never more grateful than that moment that I had hired Renee. Not only did she fix my problems, but she stayed in contact with me while she did it.
After everything was fixed, she told me not to worry about the tech side of my website because she has that covered. She told me to just do what I do best.
Even today, I went into the back of my website and saw some orange lights, and I knew that all I needed to worry about was the comments. Renee had it all taken care of.
The best thing I ever did for my blog, business, and peace of mind was to hire Renee. When I was looking to cut back on my expenses, the first thing I said I had to keep after paying for my hosting was Renee.
When my new blog launches, she will be right there with me, making it all that much easier.
I really couldn't do this without her. She is part of what is helping me to get to the next level with confidence.

Become a member of my might client community, we'd love to have you!
You know those shows on tv where hackers break into all kinds of very secure files and sites of both bad guys and good guys?
For some characters it's harder than for others but in real life, that happens too. Of course, it makes sense if sites have sensitive materials or lots of financial transactions.
But hackers also set up programs that automatically search for websites that can be broken into too.
The more that can be hacked, the greater the chances of getting something rewarding--for them.
So, unless you are willing to gamble your computer skills against hackers and full-time automation, get somebody who can protect and monitor your site.
Full disclosure: it's happened to me not once or twice, but three times, so now I just put my money and bet on Renee.

Renee Shupe is awesome to work with!
She did a blog review for me and she did a very thorough job. She provided me with a video review, so it was really easy to follow and understand what she was talking about.
Not only that, but she suggested changes for my site that I had never even thought of, or even realized I could make.
I'm not a tech person at all, so I had several questions after her review, and she was very willing to reply and clarify the things I didn't understand/know how to do.
She explained things very clearly and I was able to follow her instructions and make the changes she suggested.
I would definitely work with Renee again!

A few answers to some common questions
You must have your domain registered before you start the process for the new website, I recommend PorkBun, but you can use any registrar you like. Once you have your domain registered, I will need to be given delegate access so I can set up the required records to get your website online. I can provide instructions, or you can simply search delegate access and the name of your domain registrar to get instructions.
I encourage you to purchase the Privacy & Terms of Service Add On if possible. I have partnered with the team at Termageddon to provide you with policies specific to your needs written by lawyers that are also updated automatically. This service is available for clients in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland & Australia.
No. Here's some of the few things I won't host or support on my servers.
Windows Server hosting, ASP, MS Access databases – very few sites need Windows hosting, but if yours does, you will need to search for a Windows web host. This is different than the type of computer you operate. Windows also provides server technology that runs websites.
Spam hosting: you cannot send spam from our server, and you cannot send spam from other servers advertising your domains.
Illegal files or activities: Anything that violates United States law is prohibited. We will and do cooperate with law enforcement authorities in authorized investigations.
Pyramid schemes, pornography, and gambling sites, or sites that promote them, will not be allowed.
