Sleep problems can stem from many things. But one item you can confidently check off the worry list? Your website. Hosting and maintenance might not sound like topics that belong in a guide to better sleep—but trust us, when they work as they should, your nights become a whole lot calmer.
With the help of Albin Nystedt, Head of Hosting and Maintenance at Mild, you'll soon know exactly how a few smart decisions can take the stress off your plate and help you rest easy.
What is hosting – and why does it affect your sleep?
Hosting is the place your website lives. It’s the servers that keep your site available around the clock. But not all hosting solutions are created equal. Performance, security, scalability, and reliability can vary significantly depending on the provider.
Mild’s very own hosting platform is called Mild Cloud – built with exactly these factors in mind.
“Mild Cloud is a platform fully tailored to the systems we work with,” Albin explains. “It’s built on the fastest hardware we can get our hands on, with integrated security. If someone tries to hack the site, the hosting platform immediately blocks it.”
Mild Cloud is also designed to scale with you as you grow.
“With most traditional web hosts, you run into limits—like running out of storage space. But with Mild Cloud, it’s unlimited. It scales up automatically as you need it,” says Albin.
In short: Mild Cloud takes away the late-night cold sweats over space warnings or security issues.
Maintenance – like a soft pillow to lean on
Maintenance is all about keeping your site healthy over time. With Mild’s help, you get a setup that lets you focus on what you do best—knowing that your tech is in safe hands. Updates, support, and monitoring ensure your site stays secure and stable.
“WordPress releases 10 to 20 updates a year, and each site also relies on a bunch of plugins that need regular updates too,” Albin says. “We help our clients keep everything up to date—always at night, one to two times a week.”
Yes, at night. That’s no coincidence. Mild performs updates while you’re sleeping, so your business runs undisturbed during the day.
“We do the updates manually, but we also use AI to detect issues. If something has shifted even slightly, we get an alert and can handle it during the night,” Albin says.
And if something does go wrong? Help is always close by.
"We have a support team that is always ready. Through our ticket system, you can get help with anything—from publishing a new page to troubleshooting and quick fixes,” says Albin.
What should you look for in a hosting & maintenance provider?
There are plenty of factors to weigh, but here are some of the key ones:
- Performance: Fast load times improve both user experience and SEO.
- Security: Protection from breaches and frequent updates are a must.
- Support: Reliable experts who can solve problems quickly.
- Scalability: A platform that grows with your business.
- Environmental responsibility: Climate-smart hosting that’s built for the future.

"That's really the whole point of all this," Albin concludes. "That you should be able to sleep well at night."
