Freelock Prices and Service Plans

Freelock offers a full suite of services including site development, hosting, historical backups of data at multiple restore points, maintenance, and server management. Our standard rate for hourly work is $150/hr, with discounts available for charities and hosting clients.

Maintenance Contracts

With a Freelock Maintenance Contract, we take responsibility for keeping your site up-to-date and running smoothly. Besides updating modules currently on the site, we manage multiple backups, a complete change history of the code on your site, and provide ongoing checks so you can be comfortable knowing you're in good hands.
Standard Drupal maintenance	Perfect for simple Drupal sites and mature sites with a minimum of additional work to be done, our maintenance plan includes module and security updates and any site modifications required to maintain normal site functionality. Very simple changes beyond site maintenance may be available on a case-by-case basis depending on developer resources. Read more	$140.00 per month
Server Maintenance	Drupal runs best on a server set up and tuned for Drupal's needs. Drupal does not perform well in typical shared server environments. Most of our clients either have their own servers, or have us manage a server for them in the Cloud. Our server management plan includes monitoring, managing backups, and regular system updates from the operating system vendors. Read more	$140.00 per month
Drupal Multi-Domain Site Maintenance	The Domain Access module is a very complex addition used by several of our clients, and it introduces quite a bit of complexity when it comes to testing updates, in addition to requiring some custom patches. Compared to running a site with several multi-sites, however, it's a good way to go because it allows you to share much of the same content, configurations, workflows, and more across all of your sites. Read more	$250.00 per month
Non-Drupal Maintenance	Drupal is a great platform for maintenance. We have tools for automatically updating modules, tracking versions, rolling back things that break, and more. Other platforms, not so much. If a site uses a database, and accepts changes from a web browser, it is potentially vulnerable to attack. But many of them cannot be secured as well as Drupal can.And it takes us a lot more manual work to make sure they stay secure. We currently have a very small list of non-Drupal sites we administer, using Joomla, ZenCart, Word Press, MediaWiki, Gallery2, and Serendipity. We also have a few custom-built applications still. This plan is for maintenance of our non-Drupal sites. Read more	$250.00 per month

Hosting

If your site is small enough that you don't need a dedicated server, we're happy to provide ours. We don't do mass hosting. We specialize in hosting Drupal sites, with backups and maintenance.

Note that for all database-driven sites, we require a maintenance plan and backup hosting along with the basic hosting plan. We do not do stand-alone hosting without these items, and we do not grant customers access to our servers via shell or FTP -- these are entirely managed hosting services.
Standard Hosting	Shared Drupal hosting on a Freelock server Up to 10GB disk space, 20GB transfer per month Our standard hosting is one component of our maintenance plan. We generally require site maintenance and backup hosting as a complete plan. Read more	$10.00 per month
Backup Hosting	Freelock runs a very efficient backup server that provides up to 16 months of backups, with snapshots stored daily for a week, weekly for a month, monthly for a quarter, and quarterly for up to 6 quarters. We can restore files from any of these snapshots, making it possible to recover things you thought you deleted months ago. Our capacity is limited, however, to sites under 20GB. Backup hosting is included with a Freelock-hosted site. This product is an add-on meant to be a secondary backup for your dedicated Freelock-managed server. Read more	$20.00 per month
Multi-site Instance	A Drupal Multi-site is essentially a site-let that shares code with a main site but has its own database. Multi-sites are generally easier to maintain because the code is maintained in the parent project -- the main thing that needs attention are database updates. Read more	$20.00 per month
E-Commerce Hosting	Includes our Standard Hosting plan, plus: Dedicated IP address Compliance with PCI testing Read more	$40.00 per month

Hours

Hours may be purchased in any quantity, with bulk purchases receiving a discount off of the standard rate. Hours may be used for any of our Freelock services, from Drupal installation and setup to custom module development to on-going support and training.
Monthly Retained Hours	We highly encourage our customers to budget a certain amount of time per month for ongoing development on their web sites. We believe the most effective web sites are ones that constantly evolve to better meet the needs of your business -- and help your business itself evolve to better serve your customers. This is a process, not a destination. Because we work with dozens of web sites each year, we stay on top of current best practices, and can keep you in front of your competitors, getting more done, with more strategic assistance, for less than the cost of in-house staff. Read more	$125.00 per hour
Hours, with maintenance plan	If you sign up for a Drupal Maintenance plan, we offer a discount on our regular hourly rate. We figure if we can work on sites we know and maintain, we can pass some savings on to you. This is essentially our preferred customer rate, for single projects beyond what you might want to do with monthly retained hours. Read more	$140.00
Regular Hourly Rate	Our base regular rate. Read more	$150.00
Emergency Service	Need some emergency Drupal help? We can get to the bottom of it. Can't wait? We try to keep enough room in our schedule to deal with urgent issues. Sites hacked, broken installs, database recoveries -- if it needs to be done now, give us a call! Read more	$200.00
