Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:10-05:00

What is managed WordPress hosting and do I need it?

Managed WordPress hosting means your website is monitored, updated, and protected by a hosting partner instead of leaving you to maintain everything yourself. At Escape Plan Marketing, we handle backups, updates, and security hardening to ensure your site stays fast, secure, and online. If your business relies on your website for lead generation or customer support, managed hosting is the safest and most stable option.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:00-05:00

Do you offer managed WordPress hosting in Charlotte?

Yes. We provide managed WordPress hosting and website care for small businesses throughout the Charlotte Metro area, including Gastonia and surrounding communities.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:17-05:00

Can you migrate my website from GoDaddy, Bluehost, or another hosting provider?

Yes. We migrate WordPress websites from GoDaddy, Bluehost, Wix (WordPress sites only), SiteGround, and most other hosting providers. Migrations typically cost $150–$250 depending on the size and complexity of your website. We move your files, database, plugins, and DNS settings with minimal downtime and confirm everything works before going live.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:21-05:00

Will my website load faster on EPM hosting?

In most cases, yes. Our hosting platform runs on SiteGround’s GoGeek servers, which use advanced caching, optimized PHP, and daily backups. If your current host is slow, overloaded, or outdated, switching to EPM hosting often results in noticeably faster page load speeds and a smoother experience for your visitors.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:27-05:00

Do I need Google Workspace for my business email?

You don’t have to use Google Workspace, but we strongly recommend it for professional, reliable business email. Hosting-based email is often slow and inconsistent. Google Workspace provides excellent deliverability, spam protection, and shared calendars. We set it up, configure DNS, and fully manage it for you starting at $12 per user per month.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:32-05:00

What if I already use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?

If you already use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, we’ll help configure the DNS records to ensure your email works properly with your website domain. DNS support is included with our Business and Premium Hosting plans. Basic Hosting clients can add DNS configuration for a one-time $75 fee.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:37-05:00

Which hosting plan should I choose for my business?

Most small businesses choose either Business Hosting or Premium Hosting. Business Hosting covers technical maintenance like monthly updates and security scans. Premium Hosting adds weekly updates, uptime monitoring, quarterly performance tuning, and up to one hour of content edits for eligible themes. If you’re unsure, fill out the hosting quote form and we’ll make a recommendation based on your website.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:43-05:00

What happens if I go over my hosting storage limit?

If your website approaches its storage limit, we’ll notify you in advance so you can remove unused files or upgrade to a plan with more space. You’re never automatically charged for overages without a conversation. We work with you to find the best fit based on your site’s size and traffic.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:48-05:00

Can you manage websites you didn’t build?

Yes. We can provide hosting for any WordPress site, regardless of who built it. Premium Hosting includes up to one hour of monthly updates for websites built on Avada, Divi, or Elementor. If your site uses a different theme or a custom framework, we can still host it—but the included update time does not apply.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:23:56-05:00

Do your hosting plans require a long-term contract?

No long-term contracts required. Our hosting plans are designed to be flexible so your business can grow without being locked in. You can choose month-to-month billing for maximum flexibility, or switch to an annual plan and get two months free.

All hosting plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee. After the first 30 days, hosting fees are non-refundable, but you can cancel at any time with 10 days’ notice before your next billing cycle. Whether you pay monthly or annually, you stay in full control of your account.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:24:01-05:00

How quickly will I hear back after submitting the hosting quote form?

You’ll hear from us within one business day after submitting the hosting quote form. We’ll review your website, look at your current hosting setup, and send you a personalized recommendation. If we need anything else, we’ll follow up with a quick email.

Drew Horine2026-01-19T14:24:08-05:00

What if my website was created using Wix, Squarespace, or another website builder?

Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, and other drag-and-drop builders do not allow full website migrations. These platforms lock your content inside their proprietary system, which means we can’t copy the design, structure, or theme files into WordPress. They’re easy to start with, but the downside is you never fully own the website or have the ability to move it to another hosting provider.

We can still help.

If you’d like to switch to managed WordPress hosting, we can create a new website that you fully own and can host anywhere you choose. Your content, SEO, and design can all be rebuilt in a professional, scalable way.

What if I’m not sure whether hosting is actually my problem?

You’re not alone — most small business owners don’t know whether issues come from hosting, plugins, or something else under the hood. We put together a simple guide that explains the most common hosting headaches and how to spot them:
