Web Hosting
Web Hosting in St. Louis, Missouri
Web hosting from Adams Digital is $25 a month on Starter, $30 on Standard and $40 on Pro, with the SSL certificate included on all three. Each plan also has a one-time build fee of $499, $1,199 or $1,499. We host websites for small businesses and professional firms across the St. Louis metro from St. Charles, MO. Someone who's heard your name will look you up before they call, and hosting is the part of that visit they never notice, until the page hangs or doesn't load at all.
What every plan includes
Every plan, Starter through Pro, runs on the same hosting. What changes between them is the size of the site and the support that comes with it.
Hosted on AWS, with no plugins to update
Your site is built as static files, stored in Amazon S3 and served through Amazon CloudFront. There's no WordPress install or plugin list behind it, so nothing on your side needs updating each month.
SSL certificate included
Every plan includes the SSL/TLS certificate that puts your site on HTTPS. We issue and renew it through AWS, so there's no expiry date for you to track and no separate line for it on your invoice.
DNS handled for you
DNS is the set of records that tells the internet where your website and your email live. We set them up at launch and change them when you ask, so you never have to learn what an MX record is. Each domain also has a $6 yearly hosted zone fee for its DNS.
Once your site is live
Update credits for changes
A new staff bio or an updated fee schedule is what update credits are for. Each credit covers 30 minutes of work, and Starter comes with 2 a year, Standard with 4 and Pro with 6.
Published turnaround ceilings
Change requests come back within 5 business days on Starter, 72 hours on Standard and 48 hours on Pro. Those are the ceilings our pricing page commits to.
A local number with people behind it
Calls and emails reach us directly. The number on this page is a local 636 number, and we work from St. Charles.
You can take it with you
If you ever leave, we help move your domain out and give you an export of your site files to use with any compatible host. Some stock images get stripped from the export for licensing reasons.
What monitoring covers
We check every site we host on a schedule. The checks, and what they leave out, are below.
Speed and quality scores, every day
Each day we run your site through Google PageSpeed, which scores its performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO on mobile and on desktop.
The HTTPS setup, every Monday
Every Monday we check the certificate and when it expires, the connection grade, the security headers, the redirect from http to https, and any insecure content on the home page.
How search engines see you, every Monday
The same day we check your title and description, link previews, structured data, robots.txt and sitemap, and whether search engines and AI assistants can reach the site.
Our fixes don't cost you credits
If a check turns up a problem on our side, meaning the hosting, the certificate, DNS we manage or code we built, we fix it as part of your plan. It doesn't use your update credits.
No uptime guarantee
We don't promise an uptime figure, and there's no minute-by-minute alert when a site goes down. If your site looks wrong between checks, call or email us.
Contact forms aren't tested
None of the checks sends a test message through your contact form. If inquiries you expect stop arriving, tell us and we'll look into it.
Comparing St. Louis web hosting prices
Two questions turn a list of monthly prices into a fair comparison.
What is the monthly price attached to?
Our plans pair a one-time build fee with the monthly hosting: $499 and $25 a month on Starter, $1,199 and $30 on Standard, $1,499 and $40 on Pro. A self-serve host that only rents you space usually costs less each month, and leaves the site and its upkeep to you.
Is the SSL certificate in the price?
On our plans it is, starting with Starter at $25 a month. With any host you're considering, ask whether the certificate is in the monthly price or billed on top before you compare the rest.
What isn't in the monthly price
These are billed on top of the hosting plan.
Business email
Email is priced per user rather than folded into hosting. Managed email starts at $6 per user, per month, with Exchange Online Plan 1. Microsoft Business Basic is $8 and Microsoft 365 Business Standard is $16. It's billed per mailbox with no minimum, and extra addresses like sales@ or info@ are included at no charge.
Your domain name
Domain registration is billed yearly, per domain, plus a separate $6 yearly hosted zone fee for its DNS. Bringing a domain in costs the same as registering a new one, with no transfer fee.
Work beyond your update credits
Anything more involved than an update credit covers is billed at an hourly rate. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll say which side of that line it falls on.
Priority Support
Priority Support is a $15 a month option on Starter or Standard that takes a further 24 hours off your change-request turnaround. Pro already includes it in its 48 hour ceiling.
How moving your site to us works
Your current site stays online until the new one replaces it.
- 1
1. Tell us what you're on now
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, WordPress, or something a nephew built in 2016. We look at what you have and tell you what carries over and what needs rebuilding, before you've paid anything.
- 2
2. We build a demo you can click through
You review a working version of the new site on our hosting before anything changes on your end. Edits are cheapest at this stage, so it's the time to make them.
- 3
3. Your email records come across first
If your email runs on your domain, the DNS records that deliver it are checked and carried across before anything switches over. That's the part of a move where a mistake costs you client mail, so it goes first.
- 4
4. Your domain points to the new site
You don't have to move your domain registration to change hosts. Pointing the domain at the new site is a DNS change, and that's the moment the new site goes live.

5. Billing starts, and we keep it running
Monthly hosting begins on the day the site goes live, not before. From then on, changes come to us through update credits.
St. Louis web hosting questions
If yours isn't here, call +1 (636) 362-6221 or email yourfriends@adamsdigital.com and it comes straight to us.
Who is a good web hosting company in St. Louis?
If you'd rather someone local built your site and kept it running, Adams Digital does that from St. Charles, MO, with hosting from $25 a month on Starter to $40 on Pro. The SSL certificate is part of every plan. If you'd rather run your own WordPress site and you like doing it, a WordPress host with solid backups is the better fit, and we'd tell you so. Whoever you're comparing, look for a local company that publishes its prices and answers its own phone.
How much does website hosting cost in St. Louis?
At Adams Digital, hosting is $25 a month on Starter, $30 on Standard and $40 on Pro, and the SSL certificate is part of all three. Each plan also has a one-time build fee of $499, $1,199 or $1,499. Business email and domain registration are billed separately, and paying annually earns a discount. Each domain also carries a $6 yearly hosted zone fee for its DNS. When you compare quotes from other St. Louis hosts, ask whether the certificate is in the price.
Is an SSL certificate included?
Yes, on every plan, from Starter at $25 a month up. The certificate is issued and renewed through AWS as part of the hosting, so it never shows up as a separate charge and it doesn't lapse because a renewal email went to the wrong inbox.
Can you host a WordPress site?
No, we don't host WordPress. The sites we host are built as static files and served from AWS, which is why there are no plugins or core updates to keep on top of. If you have a WordPress site you like and it's kept up to date, a dedicated WordPress host is the better place for it. If you're done with the updates, we can rebuild it as a static site, and you'll see a working demo before anything switches over.
Can I move my existing website to you?
Yes, though unless your current site is already plain static files, moving it means rebuilding it on our hosting, which is what each plan's build fee covers. You'll hear what carries over before any money changes hands, and your old site keeps running while the new one is built.
Do I have to transfer my domain to switch web hosts?
No. Your domain registration and your hosting are separate, and changing hosts only needs the domain pointed at the new site, so the registration can stay where it is. If you'd rather bring it to us, transferring it in costs the same as registering a new domain, with no transfer fee.
Where is my website actually hosted?
On Amazon Web Services. Your site's files sit in Amazon S3, in Amazon's Northern Virginia region, and are delivered through Amazon CloudFront, its content delivery network. So if you wanted hosting on a machine in Missouri, ours isn't. The people who look after it are in Missouri, in St. Charles.
Is Adams Digital a St. Louis web hosting company?
We're a web hosting company based in Saint Charles, Missouri, about half an hour from downtown St. Louis, and we host websites for businesses across the St. Louis metro. The business started as Rogue Networks in 2010 and has been Adams Digital since 2021. Because the hosting runs on AWS, where your business sits in the metro makes no technical difference.
Is there a trial period?
No. Instead, we build and host a demo of your site for you to review first, and your monthly hosting subscription doesn't start until the site is live.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes. Hosting paid yearly is 20% off, and 501(c)(3) organizations get the same 20% off hosting. The two don't stack, and build fees aren't discounted. Annual and non-profit customers can also pay by check.
What happens if my website goes down?
Call +1 (636) 362-6221 or email yourfriends@adamsdigital.com, and it reaches the people who look after your hosting. There's no uptime guarantee and no alert that fires the minute a site goes down, so if you notice first, don't wait for us to spot it. Our own checks run every day and every Monday, and when the cause is on our side (the hosting, the certificate, DNS we manage or code we built), the fix is part of your plan and doesn't use update credits. A static site on AWS has no database or web server software of its own to crash, so there are fewer parts that can fail.
Tell us where your site lives now
