hosting & care plans

Keeping your website up to date, and using a reliable host is key to ensuring your website is doing it’s job.

We our clients that a website is your best employee. It should be working hard for you, even when you’re not! Gathering leads, building trust and working in the background work of converting clients is key to a websites success, but it needs to be online and functional!

NOT ALL HOSTING PLANS ARE CREATED EQUAL

For example, does your hosting take regular backups? And what’s the fee if you need to revert to a previous backup? Some hosts can charge $250 + for this task, which is a regular occurrence for many websites. How many websites does your host have per server? For many hosts, this can be up to 1000, which is not only a security risk, but it also slows down your website, affects your SEO, and overall client experience.

In this digital age, there are also many other factors to be aware of. It’s common for websites to be targeted with hacking attempts. In fact, the average website will have automated attacks looking for weaknesses multiple times per day.

HOW WELL DO YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR WEBSITE?

Can you remember the last time you ran updates in the admin dashboard, scanned your site for malware, or made a backup?

Your website runs just like a car. If you don’t keep that investment serviced, you run the risk of malfunctions and breakdowns. Our care plans are perfect for businesses who can’t afford to employ a WordPress manager in house, or don’t have time to keep sites updated themselves.
