Evensteer handles your hosting and domain for you: renewals, DNS records and certificates, with the site monitored under your name. Renewals, DNS, records: the detail where launch delays live and sites quietly die. It becomes our problem. The domain renews, the certificates rotate, the records stay right, and we monitor the site that runs under your name. When something breaks at 2am, it’s our phone that buzzes.
For 40% of US small businesses with a website, search is their top source of new leads (Clutch, 2025). None of those leads come in while the domain is lapsed. The renewal notice in a dead inbox, the expired card on file, the DNS record nobody wrote down: that’s how working sites go dark. Full research on the problems page.
AI drafts the repetitive parts, a specialist reviews everything, and you approve before it ships.
Domain and renewals managed by us. The renewal notice comes to an inbox we watch, and the card on file works.
A specialist handles DNS and SSL. Uptime monitoring alerts us if your site goes down, often before you notice. Backups let us restore it.
You review and approve any change visitors will see before it ships.
A written scope with a fixed price. No surprise price hikes, no features gated behind a higher plan. If we ever part ways, the domain and everything on it leaves with you.
It depends on your hosting plan, domain renewals, security certificates, backups and how often the site needs changes. A simple site that rarely changes is cheap to keep running. Sites with booking, shops or frequent edits cost more, mostly in someone’s time. Watch for renewal prices that jump after the first year. Evensteer quotes a written scope with a fixed price, with no surprise price hikes and no features gated behind a higher plan.
No. Register it yourself, in an account under your own name and email. If an agency or web designer registered it for you, ask them to move it into your account now, while things are friendly. Whoever controls the domain controls your website and your email. Keep the login safe and make sure renewal notices reach an inbox someone reads. If you ever leave Evensteer, the domain and everything on it leaves with you.
DNS records are the settings that point your domain to your website and your email. They break when someone switches hosts, adds a new tool or edits a record without noting it down. A single wrong record can take your site or email offline. Keep a list of every record and why it’s there, and test after each change. At Evensteer, a specialist handles DNS and SSL, and uptime monitoring alerts us if your site goes down.
Without monitoring, you usually find out when a customer tells you, which can be hours later. Uptime monitoring checks your site around the clock and sends an alert as soon as it stops responding. Backups then let someone restore a working version. Make sure alerts go to a person who will act on them. With Evensteer, when something breaks at 2am, it’s our phone that buzzes.
