We provide a quote after reviewing what the application actually does, rather than stating a generic rate that fits no one. Standard web hosting starts at CHF 14 \u002F month and managed website services at CHF 60 \u002F month.\"},{\"question\":\"How are databases backed up?\",\"answer\":\"At least daily, or more frequently if data changes rapidly, with a retention period agreed upon with you. We test restoring backups upon setup and periodically thereafter: an unrestored backup proves nothing.\"},{\"question\":\"Can I get SSH or administrator access?\",\"answer\":\"Yes, on servers dedicated to your project. Access accounts are issued in your name and we hand over full environment documentation. We simply ask you to notify us of any manual changes, otherwise the next deployment might overwrite them.\"},{\"question\":\"Is the domain name registered in my name?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
