Hosting and maintenance for your website, for SMEs in Switzerland

Neatly sorted tool wall in a warm workshop

Hosting and maintenance decide whether your website will look as good in two years as on the day it launched. At Grafwerk we run our customers’ sites on high-performance infrastructure in Germany (Hetzner, Swiss server on request) and keep them technically current, so you can look after your business instead of servers.

Frequently asked questions

Can Grafwerk also look after an existing website?

Yes. We take over existing sites after a technical check, document them and add them to one of our maintenance packages.

Where are the servers?

By default in a data centre in Germany (Hetzner), operated under EU data protection law (GDPR). On request we host your website on a Swiss server, in which case Swiss data protection law applies.

What operation by Grafwerk includes

Your site runs on fast servers at Hetzner in Germany (Swiss server on request), with SSL certificate, daily backups and availability monitoring. If something fails, we notice before you do. We keep software and dependencies current and apply security updates promptly.

On top comes what a hosting provider alone never delivers: we know your website, because we built it or took it over and documented it. If you need a text change, a new team member on the page or an extra section, you write us an email and it is done, usually within two working days.

Transparent packages in CHF

Basic at CHF 45 per month: hosting, SSL, backups, monitoring and updates. Comfort at CHF 120 per month: additionally up to one hour of content care per month and priority on requests. Partner at CHF 240 per month: for sites that are continuously developed, including analysis of visitor numbers and a short report per quarter.

All packages are cancellable monthly. There is no setup fee if we built your site, and a one-off takeover fee of CHF 300 if we take an existing site into care.

Why professional maintenance pays off

An unmaintained website becomes gradually slower, less secure and less visible in search results. The damage only shows when it is expensive: after a break-in, an outage or a drop in rankings. Regular care costs a fraction of that and preserves the value you created with the rebuild. Our customers from Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Schaffhausen and the rest of Switzerland know: there is a direct line, and behind it someone who really knows the site.
