IDP offers managed web hosting. No control panels nor complicated setup. Send us your website and forget it. Kansas City Web hosting provider in since 2003.
IDP is a full service Web Design and Web Hosting company. What does that mean? It means we can build your web site, setup and manage your domain name, and also host your web site in our redundant data center environment. Don’t have any idea what we are talking about? You don’t have to since that’s our job! No control panels to have to login to, no passwords to remember, no DNS settings to have to figure out, no backups to configure. We will do all of that for you.
Most web design companies do not do web hosting anymore. IDP has continued to stay in the web hosting market in Kansas City, Missouri since we opened in 2003. We have invested significant resources in our web hosting environment in order to keep it up to date and running smoothly for the sites we host. As a result of gaining Web hosting expertise, we have become better web developers. We understand all of the layers of the Internet and we can diagnose website issues faster than our competitors because we get the whole picture. We understand the website code, the web server software, the web server OS, the switch, the firewall, the spam firewall, the email server, and the Internet.
When your web developer and hosting provider are two different companies, troubleshooting website problems can quickly turn into finger-pointing. The developer blames the server, the hosting company blames the website, and you’re stuck trying to determine who is responsible.
IDP is both a web development company and a web hosting provider. Our team understands the website code, server software, operating system, DNS, firewalls, email delivery and hosting infrastructure. When there’s a problem, you have one company to call.
For example, a common problem with web sites is that sometimes web page submit form email is never received by the client. The developer will point at the web host and say the email is not delivered because of the web host, contact your web host. Then the web host will point at the developer and say it is a programming issue contact your developer. You, the client are stuck in the middle and you will go round and round for days with no resolution, while missing important leads coming from your website. At IDP we are both the web host and the developer so we diagnose the problem and fix it. We deal with email delivery issues with websites all of the time so we can fix the issue.

For businesses that need more resources, control or isolation than a standard shared hosting environment.
Hosting environments for e-commerce websites and businesses with more demanding security and infrastructure requirements.

IDP’s web hosting infrastructure is located at the LightEdge data center in Kansas City, Missouri. Through our server colocation relationship with LightEdge, IDP owns, operates and manages the server hardware used to host our clients’ websites.
Our virtualized hosting environment is designed with redundancy and recovery in mind, including VMware virtualization, SAN storage, physical firewalls and switches, dedicated backup infrastructure, and onsite and offsite backups.
Because IDP manages both the website and hosting environment for many of our clients, our team can troubleshoot problems across the entire technology stack rather than sending you back and forth between a web developer and a separate hosting provider.
Sites that rely on cloud providers are susceptible to go down when one of these providers are attacked, your site won’t go down if it’s on our servers instead.
Website security requires more than installing a security plugin. A secure hosting environment combines server security, website monitoring, software updates, backups and a plan for recovering quickly when something goes wrong.
IDP takes a layered approach to website and hosting security. Our managed hosting services help protect your website and data while reducing the technical responsibilities your business has to manage on its own.
Security starts with the hosting environment itself. IDP manages the servers, firewalls, and hosting infrastructure used by our clients, allowing our team to monitor and maintain the environment instead of relying on customers to configure server security themselves.
SSL encryption protects information transmitted between your website and its visitors and is an essential part of operating a modern business website. IDP can configure and manage SSL certificates as part of your hosting environment so your website is properly served over HTTPS.
For WordPress websites, IDP uses website security and malware protection tools to help identify suspicious activity, malicious files, and potential security threats. Security measures are combined with server-level protection and ongoing management to provide multiple layers of defense.
Outdated website software can introduce unnecessary security risks. With our managed WordPress hosting services, IDP handles WordPress core and plugin updates so you don’t have to manage routine website maintenance yourself.
Backups are an important part of any website security and recovery strategy. IDP maintains website and database backups so that data can be recovered if a website experiences a technical problem, data loss, or security incident.
Our hosting infrastructure includes both onsite and offsite backup systems, adding another layer of protection for the website we manage.
For WordPress websites, IDP uses established security tools including Wordfence and Sucuri to help identify suspicious activity, malicious files, and potential security threats. These website-level security measures are combined with server-level protection and ongoing management to provide multiple layers of defense.
Even with strong security practices, no website or hosting provider can guarantee that a problem will never occur. What matters is having experienced people, reliable backups, and a recovery plan in place when something does happen.
Because IDP manages both websites and hosting infrastructure, our team can investigate problems across the entire technology stack. Whether the problem is from the website, database, server, firewall, DNS, or hosting environment, our developers can identify and resolve the issue. If problem occurs, you have one experienced team to call.
Fully managed web hosting means IDP handles the technical administration of your hosting environment for you. Depending on your hosting plan, this can include server configuration, DNS, SSL certificates, backups, monitoring, software updates, and technical troubleshooting.
Instead of learning how to administer a hosting control panel or troubleshoot server problems yourself, you can contact our team when you need help and focus on running your business.
Web hosting costs depend on the resources and level of management your website requires. A standard business website has very different hosting requirements than a high-traffic e-commerce website, dedicated server, or custom web application.
