Designing and building websites for twenty plus years has taught us a thing or two about proper website hosting, especially for platforms like Craft CMS, ExpressionEngine, and WordPress.
It's not particularly enjoyable to be the person going between your web developer and your hosting company. While there are ways around this, having us host your site means you just need to reach out to one team.
Moving from another host to Block 81? Not a problem. We’ll help with as much or as little of the migration process as you need at no cost to you.
If we build and host your site, we can be a lot more confident about the end result which will save time and resources when it comes time to launch or making updates of any size.
We backup your account every night to a remote server. That includes your site files and databases. That allows us to get your website restored quickly and efficiently should disaster strike.
Every hosting account comes with a free SSL certificate. Got an e-commerce site that needs a bit more from your SSL? We can install any commercially available SSL to keep your store secure.
Powered by Postmark, your hosting account includes email delivery for those emails you and your users need such as form submissions, password reset notifications, or order receipts.

Common Questions
-
Do you offer email with your hosting plans?
Sorry, no. Email hosting is incredibly complex (thanks spammers) and not something we can comfortably handle. We highly recommend Fastmail, Google, and Rackspace for email hosting needs.
-
What's the advantage of hosting through Block 81?
It’s completely managed by us, so if you have any hosting issues you can simply contact us. Plus, we include transactional email delivery (different from personal email hosting) with every plan, which is not typically offered by hosting companies.
-
I need help moving from my current host; can you help?
Absolutely! We offer 100% free migration of files and databases. Get in touch to discuss the specific details of your setup.
-
Can you update my website?
Block 81 also offers comprehensive website support, as well as one-off updates, as a separate service.
-
Can I have more than one site on my plan?
Absolutely. Your only limitations are storage, bandwidth, and memory (RAM), but we can also customize your plan as needed.
-
What if I want to move my site to a different host?
No problem. We won’t hold your site hostage – ever. Just get in touch and we’ll help you prep for the migration to your new host. Be aware that you’ll lose some feature unique to Block 81 plans, such as transactional email delivery.
-
Can I transfer to my own DigitalOcean account?
You bet. See the question above.
-
Is there a control panel to manage my hosting account?
Sorry, no. Our hosting plans are fully managed by Block 81 so you don’t have to worry about any of the server administrative “stuff”.
-
How do I get support for my hosting account?
Just email us at hostingsupport @ block81.com.
