Every plan includes managed WordPress hosting optimised for speed and security. There\u2019s no separate hosting bill to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What\u2019s included in content changes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Routine updates such as text edits, images, new or amended pages, prices and contact details, within your plan\u2019s monthly allowance. Larger work is quoted separately, never absorbed silently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do I own my website?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The website and its content are yours. The plan covers running it, not owning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My current site is slow, broken or hacked. Can you take it over?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, and it\u2019s one of the most common reasons clients move to us. We review the site first and tell you honestly whether to recover it or rebuild it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can you move my site and email from another designer or host?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. We migrate your site and mailboxes onto our hosting and take over updates, backups and security. See the Managed Hosting knowledge base for what we\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I buy just the website build?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Builds come with a Managed Website plan, because an unmaintained website is exactly the problem this service prevents. If you have your own team, WordPress Hosting or Custom Websites may suit you better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do I get a ZIMRA fiscal invoice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. You\u2019re billed locally in USD or ZiG with a compliant fiscal invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webdev.co.zw\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/domain-names_1.png\" alt=\"Domain names for your business website\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready for a website that\u2019s fast, secure and taken care of?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hand your website to one accountable local team, and get back to running your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webdev.co.zw\/managed-websites\/\">See plans<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webdev.co.zw\/contact-us\/\">Talk to us<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webdev.co.zw\/managed-websites\/\">Webdev.
