If you are a dentist and you "just want your website hosted somewhere safe and reliable" then you've come to the right place. In addition to providing a rock-solid platform for our clients, our hosting services are designed for the dentist who wants to have a reputable web hosting provider, but doesn't want to be locked into paying for long-term marketing contracts loaded with services they just don't need.
What's Included
Dental Website hosting with Short Hills Design and Dr. David Wank includes the following features:
Full Website Access
Unlike many other dental web hosting providers, we allow our clients to have full administrator access to their websites. In fact, many of our hosting clients are dentists who don't want to pay exorbitant monthly package fees for services they don't use, and come to us for a la carte enterprise-level Dental WordPress website hosting at an affordable fee.
You Own Everything
Your website is yours. And when you work with Short Hills Design, your website and all associated accounts (GoDaddy.com, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console, etc.) remain 100% yours.
Make Your Own Updates
If you'd like to make your own website updates such as adding and editing text and images — no problem! It's your website.
Or Use Our A La Carte Updates
If you'd prefer to have us make website updates for you, that's also no problem. We bill hourly and only invoice for time that we use. If you don't need us to make any updates, you don't get an invoice.
We Handle the Maintenance
Website maintenance is included. Maintenance is defined as the tasks related to keeping the website live on the internet including: keeping the WordPress software and plugins up-to-date, and making sure the site stays fast-loading, SSL-secured and malware-free.
We Play Well with Others
One of the big problems with many dental marketing companies is that they won't allow other companies to work with their clients. We take the 180 degree opposite view — we are here to help you in any way that we can, with any or all services that we offer. If you want to use another service for SEO, for maintenance, or for PPC — then no problem. Just tell us what you need and how we can help.

Why Are Our Dental Website Hosting Fees So Low?
Our fees are low because we don't bundle services that our clients don't want or need. Other companies charge a much higher monthly fee because they include services that may not be necessary — especially for "website maintenance" which the client may never use.
Dental Website Maintenance
At Short Hills Design, hosting includes everything you need to keep your website up and running on the Internet, securely with rock-solid performance. We update the core WordPress software as needed as well as WordPress plugins, and we provide rapid security updates if critical patches are released.
Website maintenance is the term we use for making website updates such as adding or changing content, images, layouts, and the like. The reason we separate out our hosting services from our maintenance services is because our clients — with full website access — are able to and are encouraged to make any website updates that they would like on their own. Thus, it's not fair to charge clients for a bundled service that they simply will never use. Remember, one of the beauties of using WordPress is that as a website owner you are not tied into one particular host or locked into having only one company being able to provide website maintenance.
Dental Web Hosting Refresher
Website hosting is the process of storing your dental website's files on the internet so that people can access your site online. Every website that wants to be found online needs to have a web host.
A web server is a computer that is connected to the internet which "knows" how to display your website when someone asks for it (e.g. visits your site online).
The website registrar (such as GoDaddy.com) is the service you use to register (rent) your domain name. You can think of the registrar as the post office — the registrar stores information about your domain so it can be found on the internet (like driving directions).
The SSL certificate is the padlock icon you see at the top left of a search bar that shows people that your site is secure.
