Three ways to work with us: Hosted Site Care (you migrate to our infrastructure), Migration on quote (the migration step, billed separately), and Satellite Site Care (you keep your hosting, we install the monitoring).
Auto-Pilot for sites that don’t need a human day-to-day. Concierge for those wanting an identified contact and bundled dev time.
Hosting your site on our infrastructure (Swiss Infomaniak + EU Bunny.net CDN); native Gardien Actif monitoring; triple resilience held at 100%. The cost of migrating to our infra is billed separately based on your stack and volume. Want to keep your host? See Satellite Site Care.

Migration to our infrastructure is billed separately from Site Care because the cost depends on your stack and volume. Fixed package for standard cases, custom quote when complex.
Standard WordPress showcase
Multilingual or large WordPress
WooCommerce with catalogue and orders
Non-WordPress stack or complex architecture
honest roadmap · real status
Detection of incompatible plugins, missing PHP extensions, real volume to migrate, existing redirects. Report generated within 30 min.
DB + uploads + plugins + themes export in one command, encrypted archive transferred to Switzerland over a secure channel.
Crawl of the 50 most-visited URLs, HTTP status check, HTML checksum comparison, 404 / 500 error detection.
If the smoke test detects a blocking regression, DNS cutover back to the source host within less than 5 minutes.
Migration tooling beyond WordPress: Dockerfile analysis, npm/pip/gem dependencies, MongoDB / Postgres databases, etc.
Beta and roadmap items are flagged. Until they reach production, the corresponding step is done manually and billed inside the applicable package — at no extra cost to you.
For sites that can’t migrate (contractual constraints, existing infrastructure, operational reasons), we offer Satellite coverage installed on your current hosting.
honest roadmap · no upfront promise
APIHub Pro module “HDdev Satellite Bridge”: hourly heartbeat to HDdev, push backups to Swiss storage, integrity scan, integration with TimeMachine + SecureCore + ShieldWP.
A `.hddev-canary.php` file you drop on any PHP host — works without WordPress, without a framework. Heartbeat + filesystem check + alerts.
An npm `@hddev/satellite` module to install as Express or Fastify middleware. Heartbeat, metrics, log shipping to HDdev central.
Adapters for Django, Rails, Laravel stacks, etc. Case-by-case based on client demand.
The Satellite tier will only be opened commercially once phases 1 and 2 are validated in production on pilot sites. Until then, requests handled case by case with a full audit.
Our Auto-Pilot Starter aims at about 50% of the Kinsta Starter price. We win on resilience (off-site backup, in-house monitoring) and retention duration. Kinsta is still better if you need a 24/7 human in chat.

The Auto-Pilot tier holds its price because it is strictly automated. To keep things honest, we publicly document the automatic behaviours.
If your site stops responding, you get an email notification within a minute and we attempt an automatic restart. If the incident persists, our monitoring infrastructure escalates.
Warning at 80% of the monthly quota, block at 110% (unless upgraded to a higher tier). No surprise bill, no elastic pricing.
That’s the trade-off for the low price. If you need a human for incidents or questions, choose the Concierge tier.
Daily local backups, weekly off-site Swiss backups, 24/7 monitoring with auto-repair. This infrastructure already hosts our critical production applications.
The configurator asks you 4 questions and points you to Hosted, Migration or Satellite based on your real situation.
