Website support & hosting for biotech & healthcare companies

Highly urgent changes to your website? A press release that may only go live last minute on your news page? We understand, and we’re on standby to get your message out into the world ASAP. And that’s just the start: EU hosting, maintenance, backups, security and GDPR are all part of our support packages.

We don’t just launch your website and leave you hanging

Some agencies deliver a beautiful website and then disappear. Not us. After launch, our experienced team stays right beside you: for technical support, content updates, new sections, custom integrations and everything else your website needs to keep growing with your company.

Support that keeps your biotech website fast, safe & online

Always on standby

Good, or bad, news in biotech can appear out of nowhere. When that last-minute press release lands, we’re ready. It’s like having a development team in-house, fully engaged with your company, at a fraction of the cost.

Updates without downtime

We keep your hosting, CMS, plugins and theme up to date on a weekly or monthly basis. Every update runs on a separate test server first, so your website stays online at all times, even while we work.

Backups: the 3-2-1 strategy

Daily backups, stored in three different locations, with retention up to 30 days. Whatever happens, from a bad plugin update to a datacenter fire, your website can always be restored.

Hosted in Europe

Your website runs on a server we fully own and control, in a German datacenter. EU-based hosting keeps your data under European law and makes your GDPR story a whole lot simpler.

World class biotech web support

At Root Agency, we understand better than anyone that not everything can be scheduled long in advance. Especially in the exciting world of biotech, where good, or bad, news can seemingly appear out of nowhere.

That’s why we offer biotech companies unique support by always being on standby. Urgent content changes, a press release that has to go live within the hour, a new vacancy that can’t wait: send it over and consider it handled.

And support goes further than quick fixes. We help you expand your website with new pages and sections, build custom integrations with your other tools, and keep everything technically healthy behind the scenes with weekly or monthly maintenance. Your website evolves along with your company, without you ever having to hire a developer.

Hosting that grows with your needs

Shared hosting on our own server

Fast webhosting on a server we fully own and control, in a German datacenter. The perfect fit for most biotech websites:

  • EU-based and GDPR-friendly
  • Maintained by the same team that supports your website
  • Monitored, updated and secured by us

Dedicated VPS

Want complete isolation? We set up a dedicated virtual private server just for you:

  • Your own isolated environment, separated from all other clients
  • Ideal for stricter security, GDPR or vendor policies
  • Fully managed by Root Agency, same support included

Dedicated server

For maximum performance and control, we deploy physical hardware that’s exclusively yours:

  • Complete exclusivity of server resources
  • Built for high-traffic websites, platforms and investor portals
  • Sized, configured and managed to your requirements

Backups with the 3-2-1 strategy

Backups only count when they follow a strategy. We apply the industry-standard 3-2-1 rule: at least three copies of your website, on two different types of storage, with at least one copy stored off-site.

In practice, that means daily backups stored in three different locations, with a retention of 14 to 30 days depending on your package. If a plugin update ever misbehaves, or worse, we roll your website back in no time.

Combined with our updates-on-a-test-server-first approach, this is why our websites stay above 99.9% uptime, maintenance included. And you don’t have to take our word for it: uptime is independently monitored with Uptime Kuma, and we share the reports with you.

Security & GDPR services included

Our support packages include far more than hosting and updates. Security comes standard: a Wordfence Premium firewall with real-time rule updates, a real-time IP blacklist, brute force protection, two-step verification for administrators and continuous downtime monitoring with Uptime Kuma, including uptime reports we happily share with you.

GDPR is covered too. We run monthly cookie scans, keep your cookie policy and cookie pop-up up to date via Cookie Script, and monitor the third-party scripts on your website so nothing sneaks in unnoticed. For measuring your traffic, we set up ethical, privacy-first analytics with Matomo, with dashboarding on request.

We even run a separate SMTP mail server for your website’s email, so contact forms and notifications keep flowing reliably, independent of the webhosting itself. And premium licenses like Bricks Builder, Wordfence Premium, Duplicator Pro and Advanced Database Cleaner PRO? All included, along with periodic database cleaning to keep your website lean and fast.

Easy to understand support packages

No fine print, no surprise add-ons. Both packages include hosting, backups, all security & GDPR services and the premium licenses listed above. The differences? How often we run maintenance, and how many development hours you get to spend freely each month.

Essential

For biotech websites with a steady pace:

  • Monthly maintenance: CMS, plugin & theme updates
  • 1 hour of webdevelopment support included each month
  • Daily backups with 14 days retention, stored in 3 locations
  • All security & GDPR services included
  • Premium plugins & licenses included

Premium

For biotech websites where news never sleeps:

  • Weekly maintenance: CMS, plugin & theme updates
  • 4 hours of webdevelopment support included each month
  • Daily backups with 30 days retention, stored in 3 locations
  • All security & GDPR services included
  • Premium plugins & licenses included

Your included development hours are yours to spend freely on content updates and minor development changes. Hours are allocated monthly, or pooled per year (12 or 48 hours) if you opt for yearly invoicing, which also earns you a one month discount. Additional development work is billed transparently at €85/hr ex. VAT.

And no lock-in, ever: you can cancel by email, the contract simply ends at the end of the billing period, and if you ever want to move to another host, we’ll even help you migrate. We win clients with our work, not with contracts.

Already have a website? We’ll take it over

You don’t need a Root Agency website to enjoy Root Agency support. We regularly take over the hosting, maintenance and security of existing WordPress websites: from simple content websites to fully custom themes with webshops. The takeover itself is seamless, with zero downtime:

1. We start with an introductory call to map your website and your needs

2. You give us access to your current hosting, DNS and WordPress admin

3. We create a full backup and copy your website to our servers

4. We test everything thoroughly while your current website stays online

5. One DNS change later, the takeover is complete. Zero downtime.
