FAQ
Managed Hosting FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about our managed WordPress hosting, Node.js hosting, and support services.
It means we handle everything that keeps your website running. Server maintenance, software updates, security patches, performance monitoring, backups -- all of it. You focus on your business. We make sure your online presence works perfectly without you lifting a finger.
We handle the migration for you. Once you sign up with Motive Hosting, our team will coordinate the move of your site, email, and DNS records. We work during low-traffic hours and test everything before making the switch live. Most businesses experience zero downtime during the transition.
Every plan includes email support from our team, not a chatbot or an overseas call center. Gulf and Horizon customers get faster response times, and Horizon includes priority support for critical issues. When something goes wrong, you talk to the people who actually manage your site.
Yes. Our Gulf and Horizon plans support modern web applications built with Node.js and React, in addition to WordPress. Most local hosting providers only handle WordPress. If your business has outgrown a basic WordPress site or you have a custom web application, we can host it.
Gulf and Horizon plans include a built-in newsletter tool. You can manage one subscriber list with up to 500 contacts and send email newsletters directly from your own domain. It is ideal for keeping your customers updated with news, promotions, or announcements without paying for a separate email marketing service.
No long-term contracts. All plans are billed monthly, and you can cancel at any time. If you decide to leave, we will help you transition to your new provider so nothing breaks in the process.
Our monitoring systems detect downtime within minutes. When an issue is detected, our team is alerted immediately and begins working on a fix. In most cases, we resolve issues before you even notice. You will also receive a notification so you always know what is happening with your site.
Absolutely. You can upgrade from Harbor to Gulf or from Gulf to Horizon at any time. Your new features activate immediately, and we prorate the billing for the remainder of your current cycle. Growing businesses move up all the time.
Motive Mail is professional business email included with every Motive Hosting plan. You get email addresses on your own domain (like you@yourbusiness.com) with secure, reliable delivery. Harbor includes 5 accounts, Gulf includes 10, and Horizon includes 25. If you need more, additional mailboxes start at $3/mo.
Right now, Motive Mail is included as part of our managed hosting plans. Every plan comes with business email built in. If you are looking for standalone email, contact us and we will work with you to find the right solution.
We handle email migration as part of your onboarding. Our team will set up your new mailboxes, configure DNS records, and coordinate the switch from your current provider. Your existing email is preserved, and we test delivery before going live so nothing falls through the cracks.
