From Frustration to Stability

After ongoing frustrations with Bluehost's uptime—especially during critical campaigns—we moved to FatLab. A year later, we couldn't be happier. Our site is stable, and we no longer worry about downtime or poor support.

24/7 Reliability, Stress-Free Support

Our website is a crucial community resource that must be available 24/7/365. Since switching from our previous host a few years ago, we've experienced no slowdowns, security issues, or downtime. FatLab has been exceptional in maintaining our site's reliability.

Not a Big Hosting Company. That's the Point.

We're a focused team of WordPress experts who believe great support is personal. Our infrastructure rivals the big players — but our service is built for people, not ticket numbers.

FatLab was founded by Shane Larrabee, a 20+ year WordPress veteran who has worked with advocacy groups, professional organizations, and nonprofits across North America.

This company was built to offer something most hosting companies can't — support that actually supports you. No tiered help desks. No outsourced techs. Just real people solving real problems, proactively, and with care for your mission.

Our mission isn't to be the largest hosting provider, but rather to be the most trusted partner for organizations that value their digital presence.

A Consulting-First Approach to WordPress Management

Unlike traditional hosts that simply keep your site online, FatLab provides WordPress consulting services woven into everything we do. Before we close a support ticket, optimize performance, or recommend a plugin, we ask: "Is this truly the best solution for this client's goals?" This consulting-first philosophy means you're not just getting technical execution—you're getting strategic guidance from a team that understands the unique challenges facing nonprofits, professional associations, and mission-driven organizations. Every interaction, whether it's a routine update or a complex custom development project, benefits from this thoughtful, client-centered approach.

The Senior Web Developer is not a tutorial channel — it's a candid look at how things actually work behind the scenes, from working with WordPress in 2025 to handling security, hosting, and the day-to-day realities of client work.
