Why Managed Hosting?
WordPress is not a “set it and forget it” technology – it requires continual updates, security monitoring, and backups. Think of your website like any other valuable investment, you need to properly maintain it and protect it from harm. Instead of worrying about the stability and safety of your site, let us take care of it so you can focus on the other important parts of your business.
Updates
Yes, some parts of your site can be set to auto-update, but sometimes those updates cause problems on the site so it's best to have an experienced developer view your site before and after the updates to make sure everything displays and functions properly. Other hosting providers offer to keep your site updated, but they trust the process to automation. This is where we're different, we have an experienced web developer putting eyes and hands on your site on a regular basis.
Security
WordPress is the most popular website framework out there, but it's also the most targeted. We have multiple layers of security monitoring and when we receive critical notifications that we address them immediately. And if your site ever gets hacked while under our watch (which it won't), we will restore it to proper working condition for free.
Backups
This is another area where we're different. We don't just do backups of your site on the server. We also upload an “offsite” backup to your personal or corporate cloud storage location (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.). This way you can be confident that you'll always have your own copy of the website no matter what.
Real Cost Savings
Our WordPress hosting platform offers many features and benefits that can help you save time and money. For example, we can create Development and Staging versions of your site at no extra cost so you can test new functionality and approve design changes before going live. We also set up and maintain your website security certificates (SSL) to ensure that your site is secure. Additionally, our platform allows you to restore your website to a previous version with the click of a button, which can save you from having to pay for developer time and cost.
