• How is Pulley different from other managed hosts?

    Unlike other support companies that have unclear service offerings and confusing pricing models, Pulley aims to be the gold standard for WordPress website maintenance and support through unrivaled service, transparent costs, and clear communication.

  • How are maintenance costs calculated?

    All monthly charges should be debited from your account on the 1st of each month. If you require support hours exceeding your support agreement, an electronic communication approving these additional charges will be sent out, which will require your approval before commencing any work. Those additional charges will be added to your next invoice on top of your monthly charge.

  • What is Pulley?

    The team at Pulley has been working with WordPress for years. We’ve designed brands that use it, built custom themes and plugins for it, and have extended it into a variety of web applications. The common theme we all noticed was that after our creations would launch, they tend to disappear. When they came back they were often out of date, insecure, or in need of repair. We wanted secure, fast, and proactive managed hosting and support, but couldn’t seem to find it. So we designed Pulley from the ground up to be that gold standard.

  • How does Pulley handle site migrations?

  • How does billing work?

    At Pulley, there is just one tiered plan that scales based on the amount of time your website requires each month. Your monthly cost is determined by your plan level; the more hours required each month, the lower the cost per hour. If additional hours are needed for that particular month they are billed at .5/hr increments at your hourly rate.

  • How does monthly reporting work?

    Every month you’ll receive an email with a personalized website report. The report details all of the work your dedicated support team has completed that month.

    It’ll also contain how many hours you’ve used, any rollover hours available, recommendations, and suggestions to further improve your site.
