There are several hosting options to choose from. The best option depends on your site, its CMS platform, security and support needs, traffic levels and you budget. All of our hosting plans include automatic daily backups and SLAs of 99.95% or more, which means your sites will never get lost on our servers.
Low traffic websites don’t require as many resources to run, so they’re perfect for shared hosting. Shared hosting is less expensive than other options but full of standard benefits. Our team will take care of everything, from set up to maintenance. We’ll commit to uptime of 99.5% or more, 24/7 monitoring, security audits and updates to your content management system.
What could be easier than that?
Your site requirements will shape your hosting package but you’ll always have options. Orbit monthly shared hosting fees start at $75 while managed dedicated hosting starts at $330, much more value without sacrificing performance. We offer custom hosting options and standard options like DDoS protection, SSL certificates, Linux environments with Apache web servers and any required software licenses.

Orbit partners with WP Engine and Steadfast to provide most monthly hosting packages. This helps us adhere to strict uptimes and data protection. Steadfast commits to a Service Level Agreement of 100% network uptime and all servers are located in fully redundant SSAE16/SAS70 audited data centers.

In additional to the standard hosting options, managed dedicated hosting options are full of additional features. More expensive than shared hosting, managed dedicated hosting is great for high traffic websites that require more resources to run and often require additional security and privacy features.
Managed dedicated hosting includes things like server hardening to prevent attacks, restricted access for more granular user management, data encryption, logging and monitoring for better transparency and vulnerability scans to ensure your sites are protected against external threats.
Orbit’s web hosting packages are based on your individual requirements so you never have to feel like you’re settling. Because Orbit designs and develops the sites we host, we also maintain the environments. Take advantage of robust hosting plans by partnering with us.
