Ditch the Platform. Own Your Server.

Wix and Squarespace rent you space on shared infrastructure and charge more every year. MJW hosting gives your site its own managed VPS node — dedicated resources, zero throttling, and a team that actually picks up when something breaks.

$40 /mo
or
$300/yr Save $180 — 2 months free
Get Hosted

No contracts. Cancel anytime. Migration assistance included.

Dedicated VPS Resources

Your site gets its own CPU and RAM allocation — not shared with 500 other websites on the same box. Consistent performance no matter what.

Free SSL Certificate

Auto-provisioned Let's Encrypt SSL via Certbot. HTTPS enforced by default. Renewed automatically so you never get the "not secure" warning.

Daily Automated Backups

Full site backups run every night. If anything ever goes wrong, you're restored within hours — not days.

Uptime Monitoring

24/7 uptime checks via automated monitoring. You'll know the moment something's off — usually before your visitors do.

Nginx + Gzip Optimized

Every site is served through an optimized Nginx config with Gzip compression and long-term asset caching. PageSpeed scores in the 90s, consistently.

Migration Assistance

Moving from Wix, Squarespace, or another host? We handle the full migration — DNS transfer, file moves, and SSL setup. No downtime, no headaches.

Wix Business $36–159/mo Shared infra, limited code, annual hikes
Squarespace $23–65/mo Template-locked, slow JS overhead
MJW Hosting $40/mo Dedicated VPS, custom code, yours forever

Insights & Technical Strategy

Deep dives into AI search algorithms, VPS server architecture, and web design performance.

• AI Search & GEO

Your Customers Are Asking AI Where to Find You. Are You Showing Up?

A Covington contractor had solid Google rankings and zero leads. I typed his trade into ChatGPT. Three competitors came back. His name wasn't one of them.

• Web Performance

I Rebuilt a Client's Wix Site on VPS. The Results Were Embarrassing — for Wix.

PageSpeed score of 34. Two years on page four. Four days to rebuild it. Here's exactly what changed and why it mattered.

• UI/UX Design

The Subtle Tricks That Make Visitors Stay (And Why Most Sites Skip Them)

There's a feeling you get on certain websites — you can't name it, but you stay longer and trust the brand more. That's not an accident.

Site Launch Milestones

Discovery Session

We audit your current digital presence and target market. No sales scripts — just a clear-eyed look at your web design and automation options.

Scope Specification

You receive a detailed specifications checklist, locked timeline, and fixed price. Scope creep is structurally prevented from day one.

Development Build

Custom frontend code is written, AI automations are wired, and you receive real-time progress updates throughout the build.

VPS Launch

Frequently Asked

How much does a custom website cost?

Packages start at $1,800 (Launchpad — 5-page site, 14-day delivery), $3,500 (Studio — 10 pages + AI lead capture + local SEO), and from $6,500 (Command — full e-commerce + AI automation pipelines). All pricing is fixed with no hidden fees. VPS hosting is available separately at $40/mo or $300/yr.

What is GEO — Generative Engine Optimization?

GEO is optimizing your business to appear in AI-generated recommendations from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude. It focuses on structured JSON-LD schema, local citation signals, and semantic keyword density so AI models recommend your business in conversational local queries.

Do you serve clients outside of Covington, GA?

Yes — MJW Design Studio is based in Covington but serves businesses across the Atlanta metro area and works remotely with clients nationwide. All sites are deployed on managed VPS infrastructure regardless of location.

Why choose VPS hosting over Wix or Squarespace?

VPS hosting gives your site dedicated server resources — no throttling, no shared CPU. Custom-coded sites load faster (critical for SEO), rank higher, and aren't subject to platform fee hikes, forced templates, or feature restrictions. Full control, forever.
