More About Our Maintenance Plan
Security
Unfortunately, websites are hacked and attacked by malware everyday.
A key item in preventing attack is to keep your version of WordPress up to date. Updates are released to fix bugs, introduce new features, or, most importantly, to patch security holes. With our maintenance plan, your WordPress core files will be updated each time WordPress releases a new version. Updating WordPress can be complex because your site interacts with any plugins you have installed. We have the experience to deal with any problems, so you don’t have to!
Another level of protection we provide you is 24/7 monitoring and cleanup provided by Sucuri (without a doubt, the best web monitoring and malware clean up service available). With Sucuri, your site is monitored and in the event your site is infected, it will be cleaned up and working again – all behind the scenes. In addition, Sucuri protects against blacklisted entities (there are a number of blacklisting authorities that monitor for malware, SPAM, and phishing attempts).
Backups
We provide redundant off-site backups of both your database, and your complete site. You will never have to worry about losing your data. We can restore it in a jiff, and get you back up and running.
Updates
We update everything – WordPress core files, theme files, and plugin files. Updating of plugin files is extremely important because as WordPress core files are updated, plugins may stop working. Plugin developers create new releases frequently, to stay current with WordPress, add new features, and fill security holes. New plugin releases happen quite frequently (sometimes weekly). We keep you current and safe with our scheduled update process.
Why not update my own plugins?
The main reason – the unexpected. Plugin updates can sometimes unintentionally conflict with other plugins, or even WordPress itself. This may cause a malfunction on your site, or perhaps even shut it down. We do plugin testing to ensure that your site is not adversely affected by an update. We are trained to deal with plugin update problems, and we will work through them to keep your site running.
Another reason – time. Plugins are updated very frequently for bugfixes, security patches, new features, and to remain compliant with a new release of WordPress. It takes time to keep up with the flow of plugin updates on your site. We have the tools and the system to handle the updates, so you don’t have to.
