Hosting, domains, and site management — without the maintenance headache

Peninsula Logic hosts and maintains websites for small businesses across Northern Michigan — Petoskey, Alanson, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Mackinaw City, Gaylord, Traverse City — on the same infrastructure we build our own software on: hardened Linux, monitored services, encrypted nightly backups, and a real human responsible for keeping it up. No reseller markup, no shared cPanel, no surprise outages.

We host what we build

Same hardening playbook our own apps run on

Peninsula Logic doesn’t resell hosting. We run our own software — the Public Witnessing Scheduler, ElectraCalcIQ, SpoonForm, and this very site — on the same Linux hosts, the same nginx + Postgres stack, the same monitored systemd units, and the same encrypted off-site backups your site will use. When something breaks at 2 a.m., the person paged is the same person who built the platform.

Add-ons

Domains, server management, and ongoing site work

Domain Management

$35/year per domain

We handle registration, DNS, SSL renewal, and email forwarding so the domain just works. Includes annual renewal cost passthrough plus a flat management fee.

Server Management

From $50/month per server

Hardening, OS patching, monitored services, encrypted backups, and incident response on servers you already own. We treat your box like one of ours.

Site Builds & Maintenance

$125/hour, or monthly retainer

New page builds, content updates, design iterations, custom features, and ongoing maintenance. Hourly for ad-hoc work; retainer for predictable monthly support.

Online Payments

We accept cards, ACH, and Apple Pay — and we can wire that into your site too

Peninsula Logic invoices itself through Stripe, so paying us is a single click. The same pipes are available for client sites that need to accept payments — one-off, recurring, or partial — without taking on credit-card storage liability.

All Peninsula Logic hosting runs on Linode servers in the Chicago, IL data center (us-ord). Backups go to Linode Object Storage in the same region. We don’t resell hosting or use third-party shared infrastructure.

Yes. We handle the migration as part of the setup fee for static and brochure sites. For custom apps and database-backed sites, transfer scope is quoted up front depending on the existing stack and any data migration required. We coordinate the DNS cutover so there’s no visible downtime.

Yes. The hosting infrastructure is location-independent, and we work with clients remotely across the U.S. Our local presence in Alanson, MI is convenient for in-person scoping with Northern Michigan clients but isn’t a requirement.

All major credit cards, ACH bank transfer, and Apple Pay through Stripe. Invoices are sent by email with a one-click pay link. Annual prepayment is available at a small discount for hosting tiers.

Every hosted site is monitored every five minutes. Service-down and disk-low alerts page Jonathan directly by Signal and email. Same person who built the platform fixes it — not a tier-1 ticket queue.
