MANAGED WEBSITE HOSTING & SUPPORT
Website Hosting & Support in Richmond, VA
Managed website hosting, maintenance, security, and 24/7 support from a team that knows websites.
Quick Overview
More Than Website Hosting
Most hosting companies sell you server space and stop there. We also look after the site itself: maintenance, security, backups, and 24/7 support, plus a team that will make changes for you.
We host hundreds of websites for businesses and organizations in Richmond, VA and across the United States. That lets us spread server and support costs across a lot of clients, and we still limit how many sites share each server. It’s how we keep the monthly price down.

Your website is hosted by the same kind of team you would call when the website itself needs attention.
Website Support with Premium Hosting starts at $79 per month and is month-to-month.

Website Support That Includes Real Work
Our support team is available 24/7. Clients can email our support team, submit a ticket through the support portal, or call our support phone.
That means you are not limited to server support. The included monthly support time can be used for content changes, troubleshooting, or development work on the website.
Included every month
Use the included time for website support such as updating copy or images, troubleshooting an issue, or development work such as adding or modifying functionality.
If more time is needed
Some requests require more than the included 30 minutes. If a task will require additional billable time, we let you know before starting that work.
Daily Site Check™: A Human Looks at Your Website Every Morning
Every Morning
A technician opens your homepage and checks that the site is up, looks right, and is ready to serve customers.
On a Rotation
We periodically review interior pages and test important functionality, such as contact forms.
We Act on Problems
If we find an issue, we fix it right away.
How We Set Up Our Hosting
Advanté-BCS leases and administers its own dedicated servers instead of simply reselling space on heavily shared hosting accounts. We deliberately limit the number of websites on each server so one overloaded account does not have to compete with thousands of others for the same resources.
Our team manages server security and performance directly. Clients with more advanced requirements can also move to a managed dedicated server plan.
Security, Backups & Recovery
Routine CMS and plugin updates are performed monthly, with critical security updates applied immediately when needed. Security and malware monitoring are included, and we clean up malware if a hosted website is compromised.
We retain backups on a rotation with daily, weekly, and monthly copies. If a website needs to be restored from backup, restoration is included.
Switching to Advanté-BCS Is Easy
Moving a website can sound complicated. Our goal is to make the transition as easy as possible for you.
In most cases, we simply need access to your current website and domain registrar. From there, our team handles the technical work and coordinates the move for you.
Month-to-month service. Your website remains yours, and you can move it elsewhere if you ever choose to leave.
Our Website Migration Process
“The move from my previous hosting was totally transparent and immediate without any involvement from me. What a joy to work with BCS!”

Website Hosting & Support FAQs
-
What is Daily Site Check™?
Daily Site Check™ is our human website monitoring process. Every morning, a technician visits the homepage of each hosted website to make sure it is up and looks ready for business. Interior pages and important functionality such as contact forms are also checked periodically on a rotating basis. If we find a problem, we correct it immediately when possible or escalate it through our support ticketing system.
-
What website support is included each month?
The service includes up to 30 minutes of website support each month. You can use that time for content changes, troubleshooting, or development work, depending on what your website needs. The allowance resets each month. If a request will require additional billable time, we let you know before starting that work.
-
What happens if my website is hacked or infected with malware?
Malware cleanup is included if a hosted website is compromised.
-
How often are websites backed up, and is restoration included?
We maintain backup copies on a rotation that includes daily, weekly, and monthly backups. Website restoration from our backups is included with the service.
-
Do I own my website, and can I move it to another host?
Yes. Your website remains yours. Hosting is month-to-month, and there are no restrictions that prevent you from moving your website to another provider if you choose to leave.
-
What website platforms do you support?
We support websites built by Advanté-BCS or other companies across platforms, including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, e-commerce websites, and custom content management systems. Advanté-BCS has especially deep Joomla experience. Our team began working with Joomla in 2003, and we host many Joomla websites today.

What is the difference between website hosting and website maintenance?
Website hosting provides the server environment that makes a website available online. Website maintenance keeps the website software, content management system, plugins, security, backups, and content working properly over time. Advanté-BCS combines hosting and maintenance in one managed service, with human oversight and ongoing support included.
