The big hosts sell server space with a support queue. We sell a team that already knows your site.

Questions about pricing
Why do you cost more than Kinsta or WP Engine?
They host hundreds of thousands of sites and support them through queues. We keep our client list small so whoever answers already knows your site. You're paying for those people and the work they do, not for disk space.
Can I sign up online?
No. We take on a limited number of clients, so every account starts with a 20-minute call. If we're a fit, we set everything up and move your site for you.
Do you work on sites hosted elsewhere?
Yes, in two ways: emergency recovery for hacked or broken sites, and a $750 search and AI visibility analysis. If you then move to us within 30 days, a recovery deposit counts double toward setup and hosting, and the analysis fee is credited in full.
Does unused work time carry over?
No. The hour included with Throttle Up resets at the start of each billing month. Work beyond it is billed at $195 an hour, and we tell you before we start.
Is there a setup fee?
On annual plans, no. On monthly plans, setup is $299 for the first site and $149 for each additional site, and it includes the migration.
Can I change plans?
Yes. Upgrades take effect right away. Downgrades start with the next billing month.
What if it isn't working out?
Cancel in your first 30 days and we refund that month's hosting. Setup and hourly work aren't refundable, because that work has already been done.
How do annual plans work?
Pay for ten months and get twelve. Setup and migration are included.
What if you're not the right fit?
We'll say so on the first call. If you need the lowest possible price, a self-managed host like Cloudways or a shared host like SiteGround will serve you better, and we're happy to tell you that. We don't take referral fees.
Not sure which plan fits?
Tell us what you run and how much traffic it gets. We'll recommend a plan and tell you what the move involves.
