WordPress Maintenance FAQs
It is simple, just give us a call at (540) 479-6350, and we will get your project started ASAP.
Once you sign up and pay for your WordPress maintenance plan, we will collect the required information and approvals and schedule your website for the next maintenance round.
Yes, we monitor all websites hosted with Simply Web Services 24x7x365. We also track all outages to ensure your WordPress website remains available to visitors. If a problem is reported, our team will investigate promptly and implement a solution to resolve it quickly.
You can use whatever host you prefer; however, some hosts may charge a small fee and have proven difficult to work with, as not all hosts are created equal. In fact, for some, it is just a hobby, so to speak.
It really depends. We don't mind making small design or feature changes, but if you are expecting a full redesign or adding a major function to the website while it's under maintenance, you will want to call us first to discuss.
There isn't a limit to the number of tickets that you can submit, but after a while, you will receive a phone call from us to see if we can streamline your requested changes.
We take a snapshot of each client's entire hosting setup, including their WordPress data and database, every night.
We monitor your WordPress website 24/7/365 and manually log in to check your website once a week. We find that this solution is far more reliable than using a WordPress plugin for backups. This allows us to restore everything or just a file.
We are headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia, which is where all of our support staff is located as well. So everything is US-based. We wouldn't have it any other way.
Our WordPress team has been working with WordPress since 2012. All changes are overseen and usually made by our CTO (Chief Technology Officer). And if our CTO can't fix it, we have great US-based resources that we can pull in as needed.
Your WordPress Site Is Only Secure If Someone Is Watching It
Hackers don’t wait for a convenient time. Outdated plugins and unpatched WordPress core files are the most common entry points for malware, defacement, and data theft — and most business owners have no idea their site is vulnerable until it is already too late.
Simply Web Services monitors and updates your WordPress site every week, runs nightly backups, and conducts monthly security audits — so you never have to think about it. And because we don’t require a contract, getting started is completely risk-free.
