Two ways to work with Warden

Same management. Different ways to handle hosting. Switch when your needs change.

Bring Your Own Host

Choose your hosting provider and pay them directly. Warden takes care of your setup, supported maintenance, and technical requests.

  • Use a compatible host you prefer
  • Pay your hosting bill directly
  • Get Warden's setup and support

Performance and uptime of unapproved hosts aren't guaranteed by Warden.

Warden Managed Hosting

We select a reliable hosting provider for your server and bundle hosting with Warden management in one monthly bill.

  • Hosting selected for your needs
  • One monthly payment
  • Transparent hosting and management costs
  • Option to move to your own hosting
