How is Hoot Host different from website maintenance companies?

Hoot Host takes website maintenance and support to a much more comprehensive level than standard website maintenance companies. Nearly all website maintenance companies define “maintenance” as security reviews, plugin updates, page speed audits, and a basic update request or two per month. Hoot Host includes all of that plus: managed hosting, CRM and marketing software, blog publishing, marketing coordination, and more comprehensive month-to-month website improvements. Additionally, most maintenance companies only offer support for WordPress, while Hoot Host applies our comprehensive support plans to WordPress, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, HighLevel, and HubSpot. Our expert team is third-party certified in a variety of platforms to support our customers regardless of the systems they use.
