At Milestone Marketing, we do not host websites on our own servers. Instead, we build your site on trusted, widely-used platforms like WordPress, GoDaddy, SiteGround, or Squarespace (depending on your needs).
Why? Because we believe you should always have full access and ownership of your website—no strings attached.
With this setup:
You hold the keys to your website (logins, domain, hosting account).
You can have any developer step in if needed—whether it’s us, someone else, or even your cousin who builds sites on the side.
You’re never locked into a system you don’t control.
✅ Pros of Letting a Marketing Company Host Your Website
1. Everything in One Place: It’s convenient. One team manages your site, your updates, and your hosting—so you don’t have to think about it.
2. Tailored Support: If the team hosting your site also built it, they know how it works and can jump in fast when something breaks.
3. Security & Maintenance Included: Some agencies roll in extra features like backups, plugin updates, SSL certificates, and malware monitoring.
❌ The Cons of In-House Hosting (and Why We Avoid It)
1. You Might Not Fully Own Your Website: If your marketing company controls your domain, hosting, and back-end access, your business could be stuck if you ever want to move on. You may not even legally own the design or content if it’s on their proprietary system.
2. Leaving Can Be a Headache: Migrating a website off an agency-hosted platform can sometimes be complicated—or expensive. That’s not the kind of relationship we believe in.
3. You’re Tied to Their Timeline: If something breaks or you want to make a quick update, you’re at the mercy of the agency’s schedule. If they’re unavailable, your site might sit untouched for days.
Why We Choose Open Platforms for Our Clients
We want our clients to have:
Ownership of their websites
Freedom to bring in other professionals if they choose
Transparency about where everything lives (no hidden hosting accounts)
Access to make changes or updates anytime, without being locked into us or anyone else
This is why we build on popular, reputable platforms like:
WordPress
GoDaddy
Squarespace
Wix
This setup allows you to take the reins when you’re ready—or have us help you maintain it. Either way, you’re not boxed in.
Having your marketing company host your website might sound convenient—but it can also come with limitations. We believe in giving you full control, full access, and full transparency. That’s why we build your website on your hosting platform, not ours.
Your business deserves a website you truly own—without any hidden doors.
