The article
Search for offshore web hosting, and the phrase turns out to mean two different things. The hosting pages Google shows for it sell servers in another country to people who want privacy, a different set of laws or no name on the account. The other meaning is the one a business usually needs: hosting run by a team abroad, under an ordinary contract, by people who can fix the site itself. That second kind is what we sell, and this page says who it fits and who it does not.
I have spent 18 years in software development, and my company, 26 Lines of Code, hosts the sites it builds on its own servers. The engineers who run them work at our delivery center near Kyiv, and the contract is with our US company in Miami.
Offshore web hosting with us: the short version

| For the sites we build | Part of support at $29 a month, billed annually ($348), from launch |
| What it includes | https that renews on its own, updates, fixes, backups, and an eye on your uptime and your domain's renewal date |
| Space and traffic | 1 GB for files and data and 20 GB of traffic a month; 5 GB and 100 GB cost $120 a year more, never without your approval |

| Not for | Anyone who needs to stay anonymous |
Two meanings of "offshore", and what Google shows for them
An offshore web host, in the usual sense, keeps your site on servers in a country other than yours. On 6 October 2026 I looked at what Google shows for this search. Of the eight ordinary results, four were forum threads, one was a list of hosts ranked by a review site, and one guide no longer opened. That left two pages from companies that sell hosting, and both lead with privacy: one adds anonymity and lower taxes, the other suggests paying in cryptocurrency to leave less of a financial trail.
One of the two promises 100% uptime and pays in credits when a site goes down. Credits do not bring back the customers who found a dead page. Neither page says who owns the domain, where the backups live or how you take your site elsewhere. Two pages are a small sample, but they show what this market leads with.
Ours is offshore in the second sense: the team that keeps your site running works abroad, and everything else about it is an ordinary business arrangement, with names, a contract and a company in Miami.
Who our hosting is not for
If you are shopping for anonymous offshore web hosting, or for offshore web hosting with no DMCA takedowns, we are the wrong company, and it is better to know that now. We host sites for businesses we know by name, under a contract, and the domain of a site we build is registered to its owner.
Our hosting fits a different owner: one who wants the site kept up by people they can name and reach, and does not want to manage servers. That covers a site we built, a site another team built that needs a home, and a business moving away from a host that only answers tickets.
What our outsourced web hosting includes
Outsourcing web hosting to the team that builds sites means the upkeep comes with it. For the sites we build, hosting is part of support at $29 a month, billed annually ($348), from launch:
- Your site on our servers, with https that renews on its own.
- Updates applied and faults fixed when they come up.
- Backups on our side.
- Your uptime watched: if the site goes down, we tell you what happened and where.
- Your domain's renewal date watched, so the renewal does not catch you by surprise, while the domain itself stays registered and paid in your name.
- Every text, picture and page editable by you in the admin.
- Answers from the developers who know the site.
The limits are written down. You get 1 GB for your files and data and 20 GB of traffic a month; pictures go up to 2 MB and documents up to 10 MB each, and video lives on YouTube or Vimeo and plays on your site. When 80% of the space is used, we tell you. 5 GB and 100 GB cost $120 a year more, and we never add them without your approval.
We respond within 3 business days on this plan. It renews automatically each year, and you cancel by email at least 30 days before the renewal date. The full terms are on website maintenance. If you have no site yet, ours start at $499, paid upfront: see the $499 website.
Outsourced web hosting support from developers
If you outsource web hosting support, buy it from someone who can fix what is broken. A server restart cures a crash; it does not cure a contact form that stopped sending or a page that fails after an update. Hosting support pays off only when the person who answers can open the code, and with us the people who answer your hosting questions are the developers, so a fix does not stop at the server.
Security starts in the first hour. When we launched Muzychko Vocal School, a bot began trying the admin 102 times a minute, an hour after the https certificate was issued. It had found the new domain in the public logs where every certificate is recorded. We moved the admin to a secret path. Secure hosting is that kind of attention, not a word on a plan.
If your site takes orders or bookings all day, three business days can be too long to wait. Apps, stores and software can have a support contract that reacts the same day, weekends included: that is outsourced IT support, priced after we look at what you run.
Which hosting fits which site
Hosting is a choice of who keeps the site running, not only of where the server stands. Settle that before you compare prices, and forward this table to whoever decides:
| Your site | What fits | Who keeps it running | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| A small site you build, edit and update yourself | A website builder or ordinary shared hosting | You | Updates, backups and security are yours to remember |
| A site we built for you | Our hosting, part of support at $29 a month, billed annually ($348) | Our developers | A reply within 3 business days on this plan |
| A site another team built | A review of its code and setup, then a hosting plan | Us, after the review | The review may list what to fix before the move |
| A web app or a platform | Managed cloud on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud | Our DevOps engineers | Priced after we see the setup |
| A site whose owner must stay unknown | A host that sells anonymity | Not us | We host only under a contract with a named client |
Moving a site from another host
Tell us where your site runs now. We look at its code and its current setup first, then propose how to move it and what hosting it needs; larger systems move as a cloud migration project.
Before any move, whoever does it, collect three logins: the domain registrar, the current host and your email provider. The domain points both the site and the email, so a move that changes where the site lives must leave the email records as they are.
Search history can move too. When Buhgalteria na doloni, an accounting firm, switched from its old theme-based site to the one we built, indexing opened at the moment of the switch and every old address got a permanent redirect, so its rankings carried over.
What stays yours
A host should never hold a business hostage, so this is what stays with you:
- The domain. You register and pay for it, so it is in your name from day one; if you already have one, we connect it.
- The code and the data. If you leave, you get an archive with the code, the files, a data export and short notes on how to deploy it, and you can move the site to any host. Access to our servers stays with us, and help with the move is priced separately.
- Analytics and Search Console. Handed over without conditions.
- A way back. If a paid year ends without renewal, the site goes offline, and we keep a copy for three months.
Send us the address of your site. We look at how it runs today and propose how to host it; on weekdays from 9 am to 6 pm Miami time, a new request gets an answer within 30 minutes. Everything else you can hand to one team is on IT outsourcing.
