Our Process

1

Assessment & Recommendation

We audit the current hosting, analyze the workload and traffic, and recommend the host and configuration that actually fit.

2

Setup & Configuration

We set up the new environment, configure caching, SSL, security, and any platform-specific optimization.

3

Migration

We migrate the site with proper staging, testing, and cutover planning so downtime is minimal and nothing important breaks.

4

Ongoing Management

We handle updates, monitoring, backups (including restore testing), security, and performance tuning on an ongoing basis.

Why Choose System Strats

We work across WP Engine, Kinsta, Cloudways, cloud VPS setups, and custom AWS and GCP hosting for different clients, and we are honest about which is right for each situation. We focus on the few hosting decisions that actually affect business outcomes rather than chasing benchmarks that do not matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Web Hosting Hosting Setup & Configuration, and how System Strats can help.

Creating the hosting account, configuring DNS, installing SSL, setting up caching, configuring email, and any platform-specific optimization. Usually a few days of focused work for a clean new site.

For most sites with global audiences or image-heavy content, yes. Cloudflare is the usual default because it is free or low-cost and easy to configure.

Through security headers, login protection, file permissions, plugin review, two-factor authentication, and regular scanning. Security is layered, not a single setting.

Automated daily backups are baseline, with offsite storage and tested restore procedures. Backups that nobody has ever restored from are not really backups.
