Custom

For organizations with specialized infrastructure, isolation, or requirements that don't fit a standard tier:

  • Dedicated or custom infrastructure & isolation
  • Extended backup/retention, custom monitoring or reporting
  • Support & response targets: agreed per engagement

Recurring from $250/month.
Migration, compliance, and integration projects are scoped separately.

Included in Every Plan

  • Standard provisioning — no setup fees; migrations scoped separately
  • Human support — initial response targets by tier, during published support hours
  • Security updates — automatic patching of Shrug-managed infrastructure
  • Backups — daily automated, 30-day retention
  • Monitoring — availability, host & service health, certificate expiry
  • Transparent pricing — no surprise charges

Scoped Separately

Managed hosting operates the platform and supported services. Project and application-level work is quoted separately:

  • Existing-system migrations beyond basic onboarding
  • Custom development, app customization, plugin/theme debugging
  • Architecture, integrations, and major non-routine upgrades
  • Compliance implementation and end-user IT support

We can do this work — it's just not an unlimited part of the monthly fee.

A Limited Roster

We take on a limited number of hosting customers at a time. Every one gets real attention — we don't scale to thousands of anonymous accounts.

  • Personalized service — we know your setup
  • Focused on long-term relationships
  • No scaling to thousands of anonymous customers

Three steps, that's it.
