Hosting tuned for your law firm.

Yes. The shared hosting plan at $3.95/mo covers a marketing site, contact forms, and professional email for nearly all solo attorneys and small firms. Practices that handle particularly sensitive workflows or want stronger isolation can step up to Managed VPS at $49.95/mo for a dedicated IP and a dedicated virtualized environment. The underlying infrastructure is the same that hosts our HIPAA-tier customers; the law firm angle is about confidentiality, reliable email, and uptime rather than HIPAA-specific compliance.

Email deliverability is one of the biggest pain points for law firms. Ultra provides professional email at your firm's domain ([email protected]) with full SPF, DKIM, and DMARC support, dedicated outbound IPs available on VPS plans, and active sender reputation monitoring. Our team helps configure DNS records properly so your messages land in inboxes, not spam folders. This matters especially for client correspondence, scheduling, and time-sensitive court communications.

Every shared hosting account runs inside CloudLinux CageFS, a chroot-style container that fully isolates your files, databases, processes, and email from every other account on the server. Neighboring sites cannot see or access your content even if they are compromised. For firms that want stronger separation, the Managed VPS plan gives you a dedicated IP address and your own virtualized environment.

Automated daily backups are included on every plan, with 7-30 days of retention depending on tier. Restores are self-service via cPanel for files and databases, or our support team can perform a full account restore from a ticket within a couple of hours. We recommend law firms also keep an off-host backup of any case-related documents or client records, since the website is rarely the system of record for matter management.

Yes. Ultra hosts your firm's public website and email; client portals, matter management, billing, and document storage typically live in a dedicated practice management platform like Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, or Rocket Matter. The public website integrates via links, embedded scheduling widgets, or intake form redirects to those platforms. This clean separation keeps confidential client data inside the practice management system (which has its own access controls and BAA where applicable) while the marketing website lives on Ultra.

Free Let's Encrypt SSL is included on every plan and auto-renews. The full site loads over HTTPS, so contact forms and any client intake fields are encrypted in transit. For forms that collect particularly sensitive matter details, we recommend keeping the form fields minimal (name, contact, brief description) and following up through your practice management system rather than continuing detailed discussion over plain email.

Yes. Free website migration is included with any annual or longer plan. Our migration team handles cPanel-to-cPanel transfers, WordPress sites, database moves, and email account migration. Most firm websites move within 24-48 hours with no downtime, and we coordinate the DNS cutover so client emails keep flowing during the transition. Just open a ticket with your current host's credentials after signing up.

The shared plan at $3.95/mo is already priced for solo practitioners and small firms. We also include a 45-day money-back guarantee, free domain with annual orders, and a 10% price-match guarantee against comparable plans from other US-based hosts. If you are switching from a larger national host that has been quietly raising your renewal price, our straightforward pricing is usually a noticeable cost reduction. Use code 30-OFF-HOSTING for 30% off your first order.

If your firm handles workflows touching HIPAA-protected health information (medical-malpractice plaintiff-side work, elder law, disability practice, healthcare regulatory work), see our HIPAA Hosting page. It adds dedicated VM isolation, a dedicated IP, on-site physical security with documented chain-of-custody, audit logging, and the technical and administrative safeguards compliance reviewers ask about. Note that a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is a separate legal arrangement; we provide the infrastructure layer.

Yes. The most common path is starting on the shared plan, then upgrading to Managed VPS when the firm grows or wants a dedicated IP for stronger mail reputation and tighter isolation. Our support team handles the migration with no downtime, your domain and email stay the same, and the same on-site physical safeguards apply at every tier.
