No. We care for sites where they are. If the host is the problem, we will say so and quote the move. Sites on ALCO hosting get Cloudflare Enterprise and nightly off-site backups as standard.

Content, images, prices, a new page from copy you send, a plugin setting, a form field. Anything that takes a person under an hour or so. Bigger work is quoted separately and you decide.

We roll back to last night's backup, find the plugin or theme responsible, and fix or replace it. You usually hear about it after it is solved.

Yes. Custom PHP, static sites, Shopify-connected sites and most frameworks. We review it first and tell you honestly what we can and cannot do.

You do, always. Logins, domain and hosting stay in your name, and if you leave we hand over everything with documentation.

Yes. We copy the files and database, bring it up on the ALCO server, check it with you, then switch DNS in a window you approve. The old host stays live until you sign off.

Yes. It is your site. We hold an administrator account for updates and support, and every change we make is logged.

We will tell you if a plugin is abandoned, insecure or slow, and suggest a replacement. We do not remove anything without agreeing it with you.

WooCommerce stores get their own page and a few extra checks around checkout and payments. See WooCommerce hosting.

Managed hosting plans are on the pricing page. A migration is quoted in writing after we see the site.

Yes. Orders, customers and products are copied, the store is checked on the ALCO server, and the switch happens in a quiet window with the old store kept until you sign off.

Card details are handled by your payment provider, not stored on the site. We keep the platform patched, behind the firewall and backed up, and we can supply what your provider's questionnaire asks for.

Yes, with proper caching, a tuned database and a server that is not shared with strangers. Large catalogues are planned for, not discovered.

Yes. See the James Duff Inc project, and the developer services page.

Yes. Drupal 7 is past end of life. We assess the site and content model, plan the migration to a current release, and run it on a staging copy before anything goes live.

Yes. Your developers get a staging environment, deployment access and someone to talk to about the server. We host and run it; they build on it.

Drupal security advisories are applied the day they are published, on staging first when the change is large, then production.

Yes. Your domain, your DNS in your name, certificates renewed automatically.

Both run on the ALCO server. Adobe Commerce licences come from Adobe; we host and run the platform under that licence.

Yes. Database, media and configuration are migrated to staging, checked with a test order, then switched in a quiet window.

Sometimes. If a WooCommerce store would do the job for less, we will say so. See WooCommerce hosting.

Card data is handled by your payment gateway. We keep the platform patched and behind the firewall, and supply what the questionnaire asks about hosting.

Yes. We copy it, bring it up on the ALCO server, check it with you and switch DNS in a window you approve.

If it would serve you better we will say so, with the cost. Many Joomla sites are fine where they are.

ALCO, on a schedule, with critical ones applied the day they land.

Yes. Content and members are imported to a staging copy, checked, then the domain is switched.

Yes. It lives in your Ghost database on the ALCO server and in backups you can ask for.

Ghost sends newsletters through an authenticated email provider we configure for your domain.

You do. They are created in your name with your billing. ALCO is added as a manager and can be removed at any time.

It depends on the market and the goal. We tell you honestly what a budget can and cannot do before you commit to it.

No. Anyone who does is guessing. We guarantee honest tracking, weekly attention and a report you can understand.

Yes. We will tell you if the landing experience is holding the ads back, and we can build pages on ALCO hosting that fix it.

We handle organic search work and social content for clients too. Ads are the paid part. Ask and we will scope the mix that fits.
