The relationship underneath
Your customer deals with you. You deal with Griffin.
The partner stays customer-facing. Griffin provides the agreed hosting infrastructure and technical capability underneath the relationship.
You handle
Customer communication, quoting and pricing, design, development, content, maintenance where you provide it, and how the service is packaged.
Griffin helps with
Agreed hosting infrastructure, hosting-level troubleshooting, connected-service issues, migrations, access coordination and technical escalation where appropriate.
Keep the work clear
Hosting and website maintenance are different jobs.
Hosting is the infrastructure environment and hosting-level troubleshooting. Website work is content, design, plugins, modules, application updates and development.
Keep control of the sites you manage.
Griffin hosting should not force you to surrender practical control, while the final access model is agreed for each service.
Bring us the site
What are you trying to host?
Bring us the site. We’ll work out the sensible hosting route. Universal compatibility is not promised; suitable sites can be assessed.
Built with AI? That’s fine.
Suitable AI-built sites can be assessed alongside new, existing and designer-built websites. We’ll look at the actual site before recommending a route.
Progressive growth
Start with one client. Move more when it makes sense.
Place one customer with Griffin, move an existing service or add more sites as projects and renewals make sense. You do not need to move a whole portfolio at once.

Next routes
Need a deeper hosting conversation?
Keep the main hosting relationship simple, then go deeper only where the project needs it.
Need a specific hosting location?
Most GIS hosting uses international infrastructure selected for the appropriate balance of service and cost. Where a project specifically requires South African hosting, specialised local infrastructure can be arranged.
Keep the customer. Keep the service.
