Elements Hosting is now live 🤫

[dan]

As you may have already noticed, we’ve been quietly working on a dedicated hosting solution for RapidWeaver, and we’re now ready to open the doors to more of you!

If you haven’t heard about it yet, here’s a quick overview:

Elements Hosting is built specifically for RapidWeaver users. We wanted to offer hosting that just works, without the usual hassle of hunting down a third-party provider and hoping everything plays nicely together.

Every plan comes with unlimited bandwidth and a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there’s really nothing to lose in giving it a try.

And if you need a hand getting set up, connecting a domain, or publishing your first site, we’re here to help every step of the way, @differentdan brings many years of expert hosting experience to the table, so you’re in very good hands.

What’s included on every plan:

• Ultra-fast NVMe SSD storage
• Free SSL certificates
• Automated daily backups with one-click restore
• Unlimited MariaDB databases
• Premium support via Email, Zoom, or right here on the Forum

Here’s what some of our early users have to say:

@handshaper

I will certainly be recommending Elements Hosting to everyone.
…
I think it is going to be a boon for the average user as it is going to eliminate a lot of worry and headaches.

@ercross

Today, I’m starting my domain registration transfers. Very happy with the move and pricing.

@PMUK

I personally highly recommend Dan and the new system as a great benefit and way forward to the Element Community!

@AnasHyeee

And a huge thank you for helping me transfer all of my website services to Elements Hosting. It was definitely a step-by-step process, but you fixed all of the problems we encountered with third parties along the way.

We’re still in the early days, so your feedback really does mean a lot to us, so we’d love to hear what you think!

Want to find out more?

Registration is open now! Head over to the website, pick a plan, and we’ll help you get your site migrated with the minimum of fuss.

Any questions at all, just drop them below, we’re all ears!

Cheers!

I can never tell if I am looking at US$ or whether some clever algorithm knows I am in New Zealand so is displaying NZ$. Makes a big difference.

When I click through the $12 link above to try and find out it changes to 12GBP which threw me as well.

[dan]

We support USD, Euro, and GBP and it should pick-up your location automatically. We’ll look into this now and improve it.

In the meantime you can choose a currency in the store by using the drop down menu.

Hope that helps!

Why not RapidWeaver hosting? I mean, elements-hosting.com already exists…

[MichaelDroste]

Congratulations Wish you the best!

[Christ2RCulture (Kurt Trucksess)]

I am hosted by Elements. They are great to work with. Good performance and personal help!

[handshaper (Robin Mair)]

@dan @differentdan I love your mascot. Does it have a name?

[kitmos (Kit Mosden)]

Does it include email?

[handshaper (Robin Mair)]

There is no email hosting.

[icoyote (Duncan McLir)]

I just moved my hosting account and 4 domains away from Chillidog/Exact to Elements. Dan’s help and expertise got me through the whole process, including help with getting my email set up with my iCloud+ account. Highly recommended!

[dan]

Yeah it’s “El” and was designed by the same illustrator that did the Elements Icon. You can expect to see a lot more of El very soon

[ercross (Edward Cross)]

@differentdan Made the transition very easy and the interface is well laid out. Made the move over from Chillidog as well without regret.

[MichaelDroste]

Very fun nice mascot…

[PMUK (Paul Moore)]

is that EL or EI as in “Elements Intelligence”?

[dan]

“El” as in “Elements”

[PMUK (Paul Moore)]

Damn I preferred mine! Another one for the Elemental Dictionary then!

[dan]

Haha, what would you want from “Elements Intelligence”?!

[differentdan (Daniel)]

Hopefully more than what we get with the current Apple Intelligence…

[PMUK (Paul Moore)]

Maybe a custom components built Elements Installer? Wink wink!

[differentdan (Daniel)]

Well, our flagship app is called Elements, and I think Elements Hosting has a nicer ring than RapidWeaver Hosting. Elements Hosting flows better in my opinion.

That site seems kinda sketchy though, their copyright footer says:
© 2016-2023 Elements Hosting, all rights reserved.

But if you do a WHOIS lookup, it says the domain was registered in Nov. 2023…

Domain:
elements-hosting.com
Registered On:
2023-11-09

Also they offer less for more..

Lots of inconsistencies there…

Pretty confident we are the superior Elements Hosting.
