Hosting That Does Not Become Your Problem.
Build on a hidden address, keep a few client sites on one bill, and put last night back in one click when somebody edits the wrong thing. Three websites from USD 40 a month, billed yearly.
You Are The One They Call
Three things make client work harder than it needs to be.
You Are The Support Line
When a client’s site breaks, they do not ring their host. They ring you, usually on a Sunday. Whatever the hosting does badly becomes your evening.
Every Client Is On Something Different
One on a cheap shared plan, one on a reseller account somebody set up in 2019, one on a server nobody has the password for. Each one fails in its own way.
Handover Is The Risky Part
The project ends, the client gets the keys, and six months later a plugin update takes the site down. You still get the call, and you no longer have a safe copy.
A Setup You Can Repeat For Every Client
Build Where Nobody Can See
Every site gets a temporary address the moment you create it, and you can put a password on it. Build the whole thing, show the client a link, point the domain on launch day.
Staging On Every Site
Try the plugin update or the theme change on a copy, then push it live. On every plan, not only the expensive one, so you can do it for every client.
Last Night Is One Click Away
A backup every night, kept 30 days. When a client edits a page into a mess, you restore it yourself in a minute rather than rebuilding it for free.
Hand It Over Properly
Move a website to the client’s own Oxyforge account with a transfer code. They start paying for it, you stop carrying it, and nothing has to be rebuilt.
The Tools You Actually Use
SFTP, WP-CLI and a database manager on every site. Managed does not mean you are locked out of your own work.
One Client Cannot Break Another
Every site is its own container, its own Unix user, its own database. A client who installs something unwise affects only themselves.
The Project Can Actually End
Most hosting makes you choose between keeping a client forever and rebuilding their site somewhere else. A transfer moves the website into their own account exactly as it is, with its files, database and domain.
You keep the relationship if you want it, on a care plan rather than on a server you are quietly responsible for.

What Freelancers Ask First
Can I keep several client sites on one account?
Yes. Grow holds three websites and Scale holds ten, sharing one pool of storage and bandwidth. You can cap any single site so one busy client cannot eat the whole pool.
What happens when the client wants to take the site over?
Transfer it. You generate a code, they claim the website into their own Oxyforge account, and it moves across with its files, database and domain. You are not stuck hosting it forever, and they are not stuck with a rebuild.
Can I show a client the site before launch?
Yes. Every website has its own temporary address straight away, and you can put a password on it so only the people you send it to can look. Search engines are kept away from it.
Do I have to bill the client for hosting?
That is between you and them. Plenty of freelancers keep the sites on their own account and bill it as part of a care plan. Others hand the site over and let the client pay us directly. Both work.
What if a client site outgrows the plan?
Move up a plan, or move that one site to its own account. Storage and bandwidth are pooled across the account, so one site growing does not force every site to a bigger plan.
Who answers when something is wrong?
A ticket from the members area, read by the people who run the platform. There is no phone line, and we do not claim round-the-clock cover. What we do promise is that the person replying can actually see your server.
When We Are Not The Answer
Not A Fit
- Reselling under your own brand. There is no white-label panel, and the members area says Oxyforge on it.
- Clients who need a phone number to ring. Support here is a ticket.
- Sites that are not WordPress. A static build, a Laravel app or anything custom belongs elsewhere.
- Having sites moved across for you. Copying a site in is your own job, onto the temporary address first.
Put One Client Site Here First
Create it, build on the temporary address, and point the domain only when you are happy.
