We used to charge $50 a month for your website. Here's why we stopped.
We’re Boyd and CJ. We run SiteGlowUp from Alabama.
Before this, we ran ResaleTech — a hosting company with over 500 clients across the country. Small businesses. Service companies. People who just needed a website that worked and didn’t embarrass them.
We charged $50 a month per site. That was the going rate. And honestly? For what most clients needed — a few pages, some photos, a phone number that shows up on Google — $50 was too much. We knew it. The whole industry knows it. Nobody talks about it.
Then the technology changed everything.
When the new wave of build tools arrived, we went all in. Not as a gimmick. Not to slap a buzzword on our marketing and keep charging the same price. We wanted to know: what if we actually passed the savings on?
Turns out, the website that used to take a developer 20 hours and cost your business $2,000+? Our system builds it in minutes. The hosting that companies charge $30–200 a month for? AWS runs it for under $3.
So we had a choice. Keep charging $50 and pocket the difference — like every other hosting company is doing right now — or build something honest. We chose honest. $299 once. $10–12 a month — a $10 base plus AWS usage, itemized. That’s it. Forever.
We built SiteGlowUp.
Boyd & CJ
Alabama
Husband and wife. Been in technology for over 20 years. Built a SaaS platform back in 2016 that grew to 400+ customers in 9 countries — while Boyd was still working a full-time corporate job. They know what it takes to build something from nothing, because they've done it.
Here's what we believe
Most hosting companies are using the same automation right now. They're just not telling you. They're using it to cut their costs and keep charging you the same price — or more.
We think that's wrong.
You built your business. You put in the hours. You don't need to pay someone $200 a month to use the same tools you could use yourself.
So we charge $10 a month for the platform — the tools, the monitoring, the dashboard, the automation that takes your plain-English requests and changes your site without a human in the loop. On top of that, your AWS hosting is passed through (typically $1–2/mo, often pennies), itemized on your invoice, so most sites land at $10–12/mo total. You see the number. Usually under $3.
No contracts. No lock-in. Your files, exportable anytime. Walk away whenever you want.
We're not in San Francisco. We're in Alabama. We answer our own emails. And we're building this for people like us — people who'd rather spend $5,000 on their business than on their website.
