Managed hosting vs. website builders: what fits your business?
Website builders are cheap to start but limited. Managed hosting gives you control, speed and security. We compare honestly.
The builder compromise
Builders are quick to launch but you are bound to their limits, design and speed — and the recurring fee.
As soon as you need something custom, it gets tight.
What managed hosting offers
With managed hosting your site runs on suitably chosen infrastructure that we maintain, secure and keep current.
You get speed, security and full design freedom without carrying the maintenance yourself.
How Circle hosts
We run websites and applications on professional infrastructure including updates, backups and monitoring.
FAQ
