WordPress Care Plans
HOSTING and MAINTENANCE
to keep your site secure, running smooth, fast and backed up so you never have to worry
Your website should be your best employee. working hard when you’re not, gathering leads, building trust and converting clients. But to do that, it needs to be online and functional!
The best way to ensure that is to keep your site up to date and using a reliable host is the key to ensuring your website can do its job.
Is YOUR SITE SECURE AND UP-TO-DATE?
WHAT IS WEBSITE HOSTING
Let’s start with “What is Hosting?”
Your website needs to live or be “hosted” on a Server somewhere in the world. That is your ‘Website Host’ – the server where your website lives. Your domain (your URL) needs to be connected to a host, so when someone types in your URL, they are directed to your website, wherever it is being hosted.
There are so many website hosting options, but not all website hosts 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 making your site vulnerable to hacking, but it also slows down your website, affects your SEO and overall client experience.
Website hosting plans
My hosting service ensures your site is on a dedicated private server, with only up to 9 other websites (most hosts have up to 1,000 sites per server). This keeps your website running fast (proven to increase conversions) and far more secure than most other hosting platforms.
All new sites I build will be hosted on this private server to keep them secure are running as fast as possible, but these plans are also available for existing websites.
Website maintenance plans
Just like a car, your website needs to be maintained regularly to keep it safe, secure and running smoothly. Websites that are not maintained regularly are;
a) less secure leaving them open to hacking
b) more likely to break and are prone to problems
c) not optimised so they run slower
d) not kept up-to-date which Google does not like which will effect your search engine rankings.
Ensuring your site is up-to-date is your best defence against hackers and site breakages, and keeps it running fast. But sometimes things just break – which is why we have backups. Because unlike cars, if your site crashes, we can easily restore it to its previous condition from a backup!
website maintenance plans
My care plans are perfect for small businesses who can’t afford an in-house WordPress manager, or don’t have the time or tech confidence to do it themselves. They give you the security that your site will be running its best, as secure as possible, and backed up in case anything ever happens.
Maintenance plans are available for everyone who wants their website secure and running it’s best, not just Jordanne Co clients.
