Hosting & Website Care Plans
Everything your
website needs.
Under one roof.
We design websites, host them, and look after them. If you are already with us for hosting, you know how we work. If you are new, here is everything in one place.
Step one
Hosting
Think of it like having a mobile phone. You have a number that is your domain name. You have a phone that is your website. And you need a carrier like Vodafone or Three to make it work. We are your website's carrier.

All payments are taken by direct debit through GoCardless
We have used GoCardless ourselves for a number of years and are happy to recommend them to our clients. They are reliable, straightforward to set up, and we have never had an issue. GoCardless is a UK-based company and you may notice your direct debit shows a UK reference. They are fully licensed to operate in Ireland and the EU, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and used by over 90,000 businesses across Europe including many in Ireland. Your bank details are handled securely and your payments are protected under the Direct Debit Guarantee.
Setting up takes less than a minute you enter your bank details once and payments are collected automatically each month. No cards, no manual transfers, no missed payments.
✓ Paid by direct debit via GoCardless
✓ 12-month minimum term
✓ All prices exclude VAT
Step two
Website Care Plans
Hosting keeps your site live. A care plan keeps it safe. WordPress sites need regular updates, security scanning, and someone watching for problems. That is what a care plan does.
Sites designed by Splash
Care plans are available for all websites we have designed. We know your site, we know how it was built, and we can look after it with confidence.
Sites designed by someone else
If we did not develop your website, you must ensure you have relevant licenses for any plugins that require them to ensure ongoing updates.
What goes wrong without a Care Plan
Plugins go out of date
The average WordPress site has 20+ plugins. Each one is a potential vulnerability. Most clients never log in to update them.
You find out last
Most site owners hear about a problem from a customer. By then the damage is already done.

Not ready for a care plan?
If your site needs work and you are not on a care plan, we charge €160 plus VAT per hour, billed in 15-minute slots. This covers rescue work, updates, fixes, and anything else the site needs to get it back in shape.
The honest bit
The website is yours. The hosting is month-to-month on the care plans because we would rather you stayed because it is working than because you are stuck. 30 days notice, either side.
We will not chase you if the timing is not right. But if something goes wrong on an unmanaged site, recovery costs significantly more than a year of care plan fees.
Same way you would quote a job yourself no hidden fees, no surprise invoices.
What happens next
1
Get in touch or set up your direct debit
For hosting only, you can set up your direct debit directly online. For care plans, just drop us an email or give us a call and we will handle the rest.
2
We audit your site
On care plans we do a full check on day one plugin versions, security status. You get a short report before we begin.
3
We take it from there
Updates run on schedule. You get a report every month. If something needs your attention, we let you know before touching it.
Important this is not a Service Level Agreement
Our hosting and care plans are managed services, not a Service Level Agreement (SLA). This means we do not guarantee fixed response or resolution times, and we are not liable for losses arising from downtime, security incidents, or delays in carrying out work.
All work including updates, support requests, and any remedial work is carried out during office hours only:
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm
Excluding Irish bank holidays and any periods where office closure has been communicated in advance.
If your site goes down on a weekend, bank holiday, or outside of office hours, uptime monitoring will detect it automatically but it will not be actioned until the next working day.
We will always do our best to respond promptly and keep disruption to a minimum. But we are a small team and we believe in being straightforward about what is and is not included.
Let's talk.
We built it. We host it. Now we can look after everything in between.
