WordPress Hosting & Maintenance

Let me take care of all the technical stuff. You focus on creating great content.

Iā€™d love to help you find more time to pour into your actual business, rather than into your website.  WordPress hosting and back end maintenance probably have you pulling your hair out. Let me take those off your plate!  If youā€™re really fed up with all of it, then opt for the ā€œTotally Hands Offā€ packageā€¦ and Iā€™ll do all of the dirty work.

What’s the deal with hosting and maintenance anyway?

Hosting and WordPress maintenance might be a little scary, especially if youā€™re new to WordPress or moving from a platform where everything is rolled into one (steep) price.  Basically, hosting entails you needing a place to store all of your website files (core, plugins, themes, images, etc.)ā€¦. and then you purchasing space on a server to store those files.  The hosting company then delivers those files to visitors when they request your website by navigating to your URL (domain).  Itā€™s a bit more complicated than that, but thatā€™s how it works at the simplest level.   

WordPress is different than a lot of other platforms in that you get to choose your host, add whatever themes or plugins you want, and have total control over the functionality, design, and performance.  Thatā€™s why I love it.  You OWN your website and can move it to another host if youā€™re not getting what you want.  However, because of the nature of WordPress, there are some basic housekeeping tasks that need to be performed (weekly, monthly, etc.). 

Let me take all of this off of your plate so that you can optimize your time and spend it on what truly moves the needle in your business, whether that’s product creation, client projects, blogging, or whatever else it is you love doing more than website maintenance.

What’s Included?

Hereā€™s a summary of whatā€™s includedā€¦ and why itā€™s so awesome.

Hosting

Hosting is the foundation of your website. Security, performance, optimization and ease of use all depend on it. I partner with WP Engine to bring you premium hosting and supportā€¦ plus lots of extras!

Updates

Just like your phone has software updates, your website needs to be updated too. Additionally, out-of-date plugins are the #1 leading cause of website hacks. 

Daily Backups

Backing up your website consistently is critical for many reasons but most importantly, if the site should need to be restored, I offer external backups and restore points.

Security Monitoring

I use special tools that monitor your sitesā€™ traffic and activity, protect against potential hacks or breaches and keep an eye on ā€œup timeā€ to ensure your site is up and running fine.

SSL Certificate

All hosting plans come with a free SSL certificate and setup.  This is essential for a safe and reputable website.  Without it, the majority of your visitors will be blocked by their deviceā€™s safety features.

Site Migration

If youā€™re currently on another hosting platform, just know that migrating is included.  Iā€™ll copy your entire site over to a new server and you wonā€™t even notice a differenceā€¦ other than how much faster it will be.

Staging Site

In the event that you need a staging site for testing, a redesign, or whatever else, I can have that setup for you within minutes. Whether itā€™s an exact duplicate staging site or a blank one, just know you have that as an option.

Speed and Site Optimizations

In order for websites to load fast, perform well and to ensure speed, the files, database and media need to be optimized.  I use specific plugins, tools, and settings to keep your site running smoothly.

Monthly Report

Youā€™ll receive an in-depth monthly report that covers everything from updates, links, uptime, performance, and more!  You can comb through your report in detail or trash it.  Some clients just love knowing Iā€™m taking care of things and prefer to focus on other things.

Uptime Monitoring

Your site is monitored 24/7.  If it goes down (typically a plugin issue), Iā€™ll immediately be notified and can start the process of getting it back up.  The average uptime rate across all of my managed sites is 99.7%, so it will be back online quickly.

Priority Support

My existing clients get priority support.  I do my best to get back with you within a few hours on business days.  For emergencies, like a down site, Iā€™ll likely already know about it by the time you email me.  Iā€™ll always email you if an issue needs your attention.

Premium Plugin Access

Your plan comes with access to some pretty incredible pluginsā€¦ at rates that you wouldnā€™t be able to get if you purchased by yourself.  Check out the FAQs below to see a list. 

Cloudflare CDN

Cloudflare CDN will be added to your site to improve performance and add an extra layer of security.  Let me handle the technical stuff and you reap the benefits of faster loading time.

Spam and Malware Cleanup

Avoid malware, ditch the bots and trash the spam comments!  Iā€™ll clean up any garbage and add features to your site that will block malware attempts and bot comments/form submissions.

Link Monitoring

Links on your website break for various reasons (deleted pages, moved pages, no redirect).  Included in your month report, a link monitoring section will show you which links on your site need to be reviewed and updated.

Quick Task and Job Support

Included in the Totally Hands Off plan (hosting + maintenance) is 30 minutes of quick task/job support each moth.  This can include a variety of things that might be causing you stress or something youā€™ve been putting off.

*Pricing for hosting is determined by storage size, but the majority of sites I work with fall into the $29 range.  Larger sites require more storage, so I charge $1/GB over the standard 10GB plan.  This is pretty standard among hosting vendors.
