Managed Website Hosting for Business Sites
DSE provides scope-defined website hosting and care for organizations that want deployment, security, maintenance, recovery planning, monitoring, and support responsibilities made clear.
Defined operating scopeDocument the environment, ownership, maintenance, backup, monitoring, and support responsibilities.
Release disciplinePlan how changes move from review to production and how approved rollback paths are handled.
Lifecycle visibilityKeep platform, dependency, domain, certificate, and maintenance decisions visible to the right owners.
Service overview
Hosting is an operating responsibility, not only server space.
A business website depends on its platform, runtime, database, domain, DNS, certificates, deployment process, backups, monitoring, updates, third-party services, and people. DSE can bring those responsibilities into a documented hosting and care scope. The environment and service model are selected around the website’s actual requirements rather than assumed from a generic package.
What the work can include
A complete view of the scoped service.
Every engagement is tailored to the authorized environment and written requirements. These are the workstreams DSE can evaluate when they are relevant.
Migration and deployment
Plan eligible site moves, environment setup, release steps, DNS coordination, certificate handling, validation, and rollback readiness.
Updates and maintenance
Define how approved platform, runtime, plugin, dependency, and application updates are reviewed, tested, and released.
Backup and recovery planning
Document what is protected, how often, where responsibilities sit, retention needs, restoration steps, and how recovery is verified.
Monitoring and visibility
Define the availability, certificate, resource, error, security, and maintenance signals appropriate to the hosted site.
Support and ownership
Establish request paths, access control, escalation, vendor coordination, documentation, and lifecycle responsibilities.
A controlled delivery path
Clear gates from discovery through ownership.
DSE uses scope, evidence, review, and validation to keep business context connected to the technical work.
Assess
Review the website, platform, dependencies, domain and DNS, current provider, access, traffic context, and support needs.
Design the Service
Document the proposed environment, migration, security, updates, backups, monitoring, ownership, and support scope.
Prepare
Build or configure the approved environment, validate prerequisites, protect rollback options, and rehearse critical steps where appropriate.
Migrate & Verify
Coordinate the approved release and check the site, forms, certificates, redirects, integrations, analytics, and administrative access.
Operate & Improve
Perform the documented care activities, review signals, manage approved changes, and plan lifecycle work.
Connected DSE services

Software and websites depend on networks, identity, cloud services, cybersecurity, hosting, and clear operating ownership. Continue with the services that match the environment.
Helpful questions
What to know before the first conversation.
These answers define the service boundary without guessing at a project’s technology, access, condition, or operating requirements.
What is included in DSE website hosting?
Hosting can include the environment, deployment, TLS coordination, approved updates, backups, monitoring, staging, recovery planning, documentation, and support. The exact services, frequency, responsibilities, and exclusions are defined for the website.
Does hosting include a domain name, DNS, email, or third-party services?
Only when they are listed in scope. Domain registration, DNS administration, email, content delivery, forms, analytics, licensed software, and other third-party services may have separate owners, vendors, terms, and costs.
Can DSE migrate an existing website?
Potentially. DSE first reviews the current platform, access, data, dependencies, domain and DNS, certificates, email relationships, integrations, licensing, backups, and rollback options before committing to a migration plan.
Does DSE guarantee uptime or a specific recovery time?
No universal target is promised on this page. Any availability, response, backup, retention, restoration, recovery, or maintenance commitment must be defined in the applicable service scope or agreement.
Can DSE host a website built by another provider?
Potentially. Eligibility depends on the platform, code and dependency condition, licensing, security, access, performance, operational requirements, and whether DSE can support the site responsibly. An assessment comes first.
Start with the requirement
Bring DSE the business problem—not a predetermined solution.
Share the workflow, application, website, users, constraints, and desired outcome. DSE will help frame the right discovery or assessment path without asking for sensitive credentials in the public form.
