Hosting is for websites built by Wondaur. The website itself is quoted separately, and every site already comes with SEO foundations built in. No one can honestly promise a ranking, and we don’t.
Why it’s better.
What you get when a website is built for one business instead of for millions.
Faster loading
Your pages are hand-coded and ready before anyone asks for them. No page builder, no stack of plugins or apps, nothing loading that your site doesn’t use. Visitors notice, and so does Google.
SEO built in
Clean code, proper headings, page titles and descriptions, structured data and a sitemap come with every site. It is built to be read easily by search engines and by people using screen readers.
No ceiling
Because it is custom code, there is no list of things the platform won’t let you do. A booking form, a waiting list, a shop, a members area: if your business needs it, we build it.
Your own dashboard
Not a generic editor. A staff page made for your business, in your words: a puppy breeder gets litters and puppies, a pool builder gets projects and quotes. Simple enough to use on your phone.
A real person
When something needs doing you message the person who built your site, not a support queue. Send a request from your dashboard and it lands with us.
Clear pricing
$20 a month for a website, $55 a month for an online store. No price tiers to climb, and no features held back for a bigger plan.
Squareposh vs. the big platforms.
Squarespace and Shopify are good products, and we build on Squarespace too. This is how a custom site on our hosting is different.
| Squareposh hosting | Squarespace | Shopify | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The design | Designed from scratch for your business | A template you customise | A theme you customise |
| Custom code | Anything. The whole site is hand-coded | Limited to what the platform allows | Limited to what the theme system allows |
| New features | No ceiling. If you need it, we build it | What the platform offers, plus extensions | Apps, many with their own monthly fee |
| Speed | Lean, hand-built pages with nothing extra loading | Platform code loads on every page | Theme and app code loads on every page |
| Your dashboard | A staff page built around how you work | One editor, the same for every business | One admin, the same for every store |
| Making changes | Do it yourself in your dashboard, or ask us | You do it yourself | You do it yourself |
| Who owns it | You, 100%. Take your site files any time | You keep your content; the design stays on their platform | You keep your content; the theme only runs on their platform |
| Who you contact | The person who built your site | A support desk | A support desk |
Who owns the site? You do.
A custom website we build for you is yours: the design, the code, the words and the photos. You are never locked in. If you ever want to move, tell us and we send your full website files within 48 hours.
In plain words
- You own the design, the code and all of your content
- Your domain name is registered to you, not to us
- Leaving? You get your complete site files within 48 hours
- Your site works on any host, with no licence to keep paying
- The staff dashboard is part of our hosting, so it stays with us if you move

Hosting questions
If yours is not here, ask it. You will get a straight answer, including when the honest one is no.
meg@squareposh.comHow much is hosting?
Hosting starts at $20 a month for a website, or $200 a year, which works out to two months free. Online stores are $55 a month. You can change or cancel your plan from your staff dashboard.
Why do online stores cost more?
A store does more than a website: a cart, a checkout, orders and stock all have to run safely around the clock, and that takes more to host and look after. Websites that do not sell online are $20 a month.
What does the SEO add-on cost?
$125 once for the setup, then $35 a month. It is optional and you can add it later. Every site already comes with SEO foundations built in; the add-on is the ongoing work on top.
Is the website itself included in the monthly price?
No. The monthly price covers hosting, your staff dashboard and support. The website is quoted on its own, after we have talked about what you need.
Can you move my Squarespace or Shopify site?
Yes. We rebuild it as a custom site on our platform, keep your content and your page addresses where we can, and switch your domain over when you are happy with it.
Who owns the website?
You do, 100%. If you leave, we send your full website files within 48 hours. The staff dashboard is part of our hosting service, so it is not included in those files.
Is this the same as your website templates?
No. Templates are our ready-made designs that you fill in yourself, and they stay hosted with us. This page is about custom websites, which are built for you and belong to you.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. Your staff dashboard is made for that: words, photos, listings, posts and messages. For anything bigger, send us a request from the dashboard.
