What would you do if suddenly your website was gone or even taken over by a hacker? It can and does happen more often than you might think. A website that is running smoothly and secure today may be vulnerable tomorrow because of factors beyond your control. Your web host may have been hacked, or the plug-ins that give your website critical functionality may be out-of-date, Or less threatening, but still a risk…what if you accidentally damage the code that runs your site?
So, how can you protect the investment you’ve made in your site? First, by creating strong passwords and changing them from time-to-time. When an employee leaves the company, remove their access immediately. While those steps are good, you also need to keep WordPress and your site plug-ins up to date, monitor the site for intrusions and have a ongoing backup plan. You could try to maintain and backup the site on your own, but it’s a lot easier and far less of a burden to have it done for you.
I have implemented a new service that will help manage your website and keep it running efficiently and problem free. The new service will provide:
- Nightly website backups
- Restore functionality from previous nights backup in case site is compromised by hacking, accidental content deletes or software issue
- Notify and apply any version updates needed for WordPress and Plugins on a weekly basis
- Notify if any WordPress plugin has been flagged as “compromised” and could cause security issues.
Monthly Cost $30 or Yearly $295
Is $30 / month to much for you at this time? We can provide a paired down service which would provide backup and update services on a monthly basis for websites that are not updated often:
- Monthly website backups
- Restore functionality from the latest backup in case site is compromised by hacking, accidental content deletes or software issue
- Notify and apply any version updates needed for WordPress and Plugins on a monthly basis.
- Notify if any WordPress plugin has been flagged as “compromised” and could cause security issues.
Monthly Cost $15 or Yearly $150
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.
