- Speedy LiteSpeed hosting with a free SSL certificate
- Webmail, plus the mail app on your phone and computer
- We set it all up and connect it to your website
Includes 1 Year of Hosting, Email & Email Relay

Starter Website FAQs
Quick answers about the $499 Starter Website and the services that come with it.
See All FAQsThere’s no set number. Every project is tracked by the hour, and your quote is based on the time we expect your website to take.
- Changes come out of the hours in your quote. As long as there’s time left, revisions don’t cost extra.
- Bigger changes take more time: a quick text tweak uses far less time than reworking a page layout.
- Going past your quote? The extra time is billed at our hourly rate.
That doesn’t happen often. When it does, the final cost typically stays within 10–20% of your original quote, and we’ll always give you a heads-up before going over.
That’s normal, and we can help:
- Photos: we license professional stock photos through Depositphotos
- Text: we can write it for you, or start the design with placeholder text while you finish yours
- Logo: we can have one designed for you by a trusted logo designer
Real photos of your business, team and work always perform better than stock, so send them when you can.
Yes, every website needs one.
- Don’t have one yet? We’ll help you pick one and register it in your name, so you always own it.
- Already have one? We’ll connect it to your new website. We just need access to the account where it’s registered (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
Your website sends emails on its own, like contact form notifications, order receipts and password resets. Most websites send them straight from the web server, and inbox providers like Gmail and Outlook don’t trust those messages. They often land in spam or never arrive, so you could miss a customer who tried to reach you.
An email relay sends your website’s email through a dedicated delivery service, signed for your own domain, so it reaches the inbox.
- Your website sends a form or receipt
- Email Relay signs it for your domain
- Inbox not the spam folder
Email Relay from Stack Media Hosting is $29.95 a year:
- 1,500 emails a month included, then $1.50 per 1,000
- Works with any email provider, including Google Workspace and Microsoft 365
- We’ll set it up and connect it to your website’s forms
Is your contact form going to spam? Let us know and we’ll take a look.
Nothing happens right away. You get a grace period of at least 3 months after a missed payment before your website goes offline.
- Need more time? Extensions are available. Just ask.
- Leaving for another host? We can give you a full backup of your website to take with you.
Your domain renews separately, also through Stack Media Hosting. As long as it stays renewed, your domain stays yours. See domain pricing.
