Business web hosting from Simple Source is one site with set resources, staging copies, off-server backups, and company email at your own domain. It runs on LiteSpeed Web Server with LSCache and NVMe SSD storage, in its own container. It starts at $49 a month with 5 mailboxes, and it grows with your team one step at a time. The price on the plan is the price you pay at renewal.
$49/mo, or $490/yr (2 months free). Same price at renewal.
Who business hosting is for
Business is for an organization whose website and email are part of daily work: a law office, a clinic, a contractor, a nonprofit with staff, or a shop that takes orders by phone and on the web. You have more than a couple of people who need a real address at your domain, and you want a site that keeps up while those people send quotes, invoices, and newsletters.
If you only need one or two mailboxes, start on Simple instead. Simple is $20 a month with 2 mailboxes at 5 GB each, and you can move up to Business later without changing hosts.
What every Business option includes
- One site in its own container, so a busy neighbor does not slow you down.
- 50 GB NVMe SSD storage, 4 GB RAM, and 2 vCPU for the site.
- 3 staging copies so you can test updates before they go live.
- 8 TB of bandwidth on fair use.
- LiteSpeed Web Server with LSCache for WordPress and Joomla.
- Off-server backups on one schedule, at least 48 hours apart, kept for 30 days.
- Free SSL and free migration from your current host (best effort).
- 24/7 human support.
Business hosting plans and prices
Business grows by mail. Each step adds mailboxes, mailbox size, or both. The site resources above stay the same on every option. You pick the option that matches your team today, and you move up when you hire or when inboxes fill.
| Mail (mailboxes × GB each) | Monthly | Yearly | Yearly saves | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mailboxes × 5 GB | $49/mo | $490/yr | $98 (2 months) | Order 5 × 5 GB |
| 10 mailboxes × 5 GB | $65/mo | $650/yr | $130 (2 months) | Order 10 × 5 GB |
| 10 mailboxes × 10 GB | $85/mo | $850/yr | $170 (2 months) | Order 10 × 10 GB |
| 15 mailboxes × 10 GB | $99/mo | $990/yr | $198 (2 months) | Order 15 × 10 GB |
| 25 mailboxes × 10 GB | $135/mo | $1,350/yr | $270 (2 months) | Order 25 × 10 GB |
Yearly is 10 times the monthly price, so a year costs the same as 10 months. Every option is one site, and every price is the same at renewal. Taxes and domain registration are not included.
Company email at your own domain
A business address builds trust in a way a free webmail address does not. A quote from sales@yourcompany.com gets opened. On Business, mail lives on the plan, so you do not pay a separate email vendor per user for the basics. Each person gets their own mailbox and their own login, and you choose how many mailboxes you need and how large each one is.
Mailbox size is separate from site disk. If inboxes fill up with attachments, contracts, and photos, that is a mail upgrade, not a site problem. Moving from 5 GB to 10 GB per mailbox fixes it without touching your site.
A typical path up the ladder
- Start: 5 mailboxes × 5 GB, $49/mo. The owner, the office manager, sales, support, and billing each get an address.
- Hiring: 10 mailboxes × 5 GB, $65/mo. New staff join. Mailbox size is still fine for normal email.
- Heavy inboxes: 10 mailboxes × 10 GB, $85/mo. You double each mailbox instead of deleting old mail.
- Growing team: 15 mailboxes × 10 GB, $99/mo. A second location or a new department.
- Larger staff: 25 mailboxes × 10 GB, $135/mo. Everyone has a full-size mailbox at your domain.
Past 25 mailboxes, we have options to grow with you. Ask support before you outgrow the ladder and we will plan the next step with you.
When to move up
- You are adding people. Every new hire needs an address at your domain, not a personal inbox.
- Mailboxes are filling. Go from 5 GB to 10 GB per mailbox and keep your mail.
- You share logins. If two people share one mailbox to stay under a limit, it is time for the next step.
LiteSpeed and NVMe SSD
Your site runs on LiteSpeed Web Server with LSCache. LSCache stores ready-made copies of your pages, so cached pages are served without WordPress or Joomla building them again. Storage is NVMe SSD, which reads and writes data faster than older SATA drives. Your site also runs in its own container with its own RAM and vCPU, so traffic on another account does not eat into your resources.
Staging and backups
Business includes 3 staging copies. Test a plugin update, a new theme, or a redesign on a copy first, then push it live when it works. Off-server backups run on one schedule, at least 48 hours apart, and we keep them for 30 days. The backups sit off the server that runs your site.
Moving your site to Simple Source
Migration is free from your current host, on a best-effort basis. Tell us where your site lives today and our 24/7 human support team will help you plan the move so your site and your mail land in the right place.
Business vs Simple
Simple is $20, $25, or $35 a month with 2, 5, or 10 mailboxes at 5 GB each, and yearly is 11 times the monthly price ($220, $275, or $385). Simple suits a small site with a small team. Choose Business when you want the larger site resources (50 GB NVMe, 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU), 3 staging copies, and a mail path that goes past 10 mailboxes and past 5 GB each.
Same price at renewal
Some hosts advertise a low first-term price and charge more at renewal. We do not use introductory prices. The price on the plan is what you pay next year, and the year after.
