About MaiaHost

Real hosting. Real humans. Real help when things get complicated.

Maiahost is a New York–based web hosting company serving small businesses and independent developers since 2006. We're not a “hands-off” hosting brand built around scripts and call centers. Our support team is made up of university-educated software engineers who actually build and troubleshoot websites for a living—so when something breaks, you're speaking with people who can fix it.

We're based in Woodside, NY 11377, and we've spent nearly two decades helping customers run fast, stable websites in a world that's constantly changing (and constantly getting probed by bots and attackers).

WHAT WE DO

Most of our customers run WordPress and other PHP-based websites, and that's where we have deep day-to-day experience. But we're not limited to one platform. We support a broad range of modern web projects, including popular JavaScript stacks (such as Node.js / Next.js), and we help you choose the right hosting level as your site grows.

WHY CUSTOMERS CHOOSE MAIAHOST

  1. 1
    Fast, expert support (the kind that actually solves problems)

    We help with WordPress troubleshooting, PHP issues, plugin conflicts, performance tuning, and the “weird stuff” that happens in real production websites. If you're stuck, we don't just send you a link—we work the problem with you.

    • Support channels: phone, live chat, tickets, email, and even Facebook.
    • Typical response time: under 20 minutes.
    • Hours of Operation: 5:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST, every day (including holidays).
  2. 2
    Built for performance, not marketing gimmicks - Our platform is tuned for real-world CMS performance:
    • NVMe storage
    • Apache with ModLiteSpeed
    • Redis / Memcached caching options
    • PHP OPcache
    • CloudLinux account isolation
    • We also favor fast CPU clock speeds (not just “more cores”) because that's what many CMS workloads actually benefit from.
  3. 3
    Reliable hosting with honest maintenance

    We keep maintenance practical and minimal. A few times per year we perform kernel updates that require brief server restarts (typically a few minutes). We'd rather do that responsibly than pretend maintenance doesn't exist.

FREE WEBSITE MIGRATION

  • Free migration for small websites
  • Larger migrations (over 20GB) are handled as a paid service

We can also assist with DNS, MySQL, PHP configuration, and general troubleshooting to get your site working properly after the move. If your site requires special PHP modules or server-level customization that shared hosting can't provide, we'll tell you upfront and recommend the right solution (VPS/Cloud/Dedicated).

MORE THAN HOSTING

Hosting is our primary focus, but it's not the only thing we do. We also offer professional website development, plus digital marketing and SEO services through our partner site: dotcom.services
