You’re on a roof or under a sink all day. Your website should keep working without you.
Plans from $35/mo. Free migration on every plan.
The job
What a trades website has to do
- Load fast on a phone. Homeowners find you from a driveway, a truck, or a kitchen with a leak.
- Keep the quote form sending leads. A form that quietly stops working costs you jobs you never hear about.
- Be there when people search. After a storm or a cold snap is when your site gets the most attention.
What we handle
The hosting side, taken care of
Trailhand
Changes without the callback
Add Trailhand to any plan for $89/mo. Email your quick edits to support@stagecoach.hosting, and we make them on your site. For a trades business, that looks like:
- Updating the towns on your service area page
- Swapping in a photo from a job you just finished
- Changing the wording for a seasonal promotion
- Fixing a quote form that stopped sending
Each request should be a quick edit. Full page rewrites, redesigns, new pages and new custom features are separate projects, and we quote those on their own. See what Trailhand covers.
Results
A roofer’s before and after
J&J Roofing, a Colorado roofer, moved its WordPress site to Stagecoach Hosting. In Google’s PageSpeed test, run before and after the move, its mobile score went from 63 to 89. Your site has its own theme, images and plugins, so it will land somewhere else. Run the test on yours before and after. Read the case study.
Plans
Which plan fits a trades site
If your website brings in quote requests, look at Guard ($50/mo). It adds daily malware scans, Advanced Security, 100% Uptime Monitoring and managed plugin updates to everything in Scout. Outrider ($69/mo) adds the AI Powered Speed Boost, Speed Performance Monitoring and Hands-On Speed Tuning. A simple brochure site can start on Scout ($35/mo). Compare plans.

Common questions
Will my quote form keep working after the move?
We copy your whole site, forms included, and you check the copy with us before your domain switches. Send yourself a test request then. If a form needs fixing later, that’s a quick edit Trailhand covers.
Can you add a page for a new service area?
With Trailhand, adding a town to a service area page you already have is a quick edit. A brand new page is a separate project, and we quote it on its own.
Do I need to touch WordPress at all?
On Guard and Outrider, no. We keep WordPress core updated on every plan, and Guard and Outrider add managed theme and plugin updates. On Scout, theme and plugin updates stay with you. Add Trailhand and your quick edits go to us instead of onto your to-do list.
