Website maintenance & hosting in Albania

Our server maintenance in Gjirokastër, Albania covers everything that happens after a website goes live: managed cloud hosting, WordPress and plugin updates, daily backups, malware and uptime monitoring, SSL, email deliverability and speed optimisation. You get one team responsible for keeping the site fast, secure and online, instead of finding out from a customer that it is down.

Gjirokastër is the UNESCO stone city of the south: a castle above a bazaar of guesthouses, restaurants and craft shops, the Blue Eye and Zagoria villages nearby, and the Kakavia border with Greece half an hour away. Its visitors arrive from Greece, Italy and the rest of Europe, and almost all of them chose where to stay and eat online.

For Gjirokastër we typically maintain multilingual guesthouse and tour sites that must stay fast for visitors on roaming connections, plus company sites with documents partners in Greece rely on. We handle hosting, caching, security, backups and updates, and we monitor from several locations so we know about a problem before your guests do.

Who we build for in Gjirokastër

Maintenance and hosting requests from Gjirokastër usually come from:

• Guesthouses & heritage hotels: restored stone houses in the old town booked by travellers comparing photos, reviews and prices.
• Restaurants & bazaar shops: traditional kitchens, cafés and artisans that depend on reviews, maps and foot traffic from search.
• Tours & regional travel: Blue Eye, Zagoria, Antigonea and day trips that need multilingual information and easy enquiries.
• Cross-border trade & services: transport, retail and services working with customers and suppliers on both sides of the Greek border.

Why maintenance matters for a Gjirokastër business

A website is software, and software that is not updated gets slow, breaks or gets hacked. Most of the emergencies we are called to in Gjirokastër started as a skipped update, a missing backup or hosting that was never set up correctly. A monthly maintenance plan costs a fraction of one emergency, and it means someone in Albania answers the phone when something looks wrong, in Albanian, the same day.

How we work with businesses in Gjirokastër

Gjirokastër is around three and a half hours from Tirana, so we plan one full day on site for the kickoff and photography and run the rest of the project remotely, with video reviews and a shared workspace. Distance changes nothing about the price or the timeline.

Frequently asked questions

What does a monthly maintenance plan include?

Managed hosting, WordPress core and plugin updates, daily off-site backups, uptime and malware monitoring, SSL renewal, small content changes and a monthly report. Plans for Gjirokastër businesses start around 30 to 70 EUR per month depending on the site, with server management priced separately for larger setups.

Our website was not built by you. Can you still maintain it?

Yes. We onboard sites built elsewhere with a technical review, move them to proper hosting if needed, fix the urgent issues and then keep them updated. Most of our maintenance clients in Gjirokastër came to us with a site built by someone else.

Many of our guests speak Greek. Can the site be in Greek too?

Yes. We build Gjirokastër sites in Albanian and English as standard and add Greek or Italian when it makes sense, with correct hreflang tags so Google shows each visitor the right version, and with contact and booking flows adapted to each audience.

Is it a problem that you are based in Tirana?

No. We already work with clients across the south and visit for kickoff and launch. Everything in between is faster online, and you get the same team, the same process and the same prices as a client in Tirana.
