This offer won’t be for everyone in our community of mostly DIYers…but some people are DIFMers.  As in “do it for me”.  They’re business people, side hustlers, or organizations that want someone else to handle all the heavy lifting.

After all, a web site requires a range of technical decisions, and then the actual setup, content creation, artwork, and optimization.  For some people, cPanel or DirectAdmin looks kindergarten simple.  For someone who’s never created a web site in their life, just going through all the terminology (what is a public_html folder?  what do you mean by permissions?  what is a DNS server at my registrar?  etc.) can be intimidating.  Sure, a lot of folks could accomplish this with a step-by-step guide or by watching YouTube, but for someone running a business, spending 20 hours learning the ins and outs of shared web hosting might not be a good use of their time.  And then when something goes wrong, they are completely stuck and may end up paying someone regardless.

So for those who’d like to avoid all of that and let someone else do the driving, HostPapa has a Do-It-For-Me plan!
