Built for People Who Prefer to Manage Their Own Websites
DIY Hosting isn’t a stripped-down version of our Managed Hosting service.
It’s a different approach.
We designed these plans for website owners who don’t need someone logging into WordPress every month, installing updates, making routine changes or monitoring their website on their behalf.
If you’re comfortable handling those responsibilities yourself—or already have someone who does—you can keep your hosting and website management separate.
Website Owners
Manage your own WordPress website while hosting it on professional infrastructure without paying for ongoing management.
Freelancers & Developers
Get the access and control you need to build, maintain and manage websites using your own development workflow.
Businesses With Internal Website Support
Give your internal developer or marketing team a reliable hosting environment while they retain responsibility for the website.
Businesses Working With an Agency
Already have a developer or marketing agency? Keep working with them while Farm 6 provides the underlying hosting infrastructure.
