HOSTING AND MAINTENANCE

A website isn’t finished when it goes live

Our website hosting and maintenance service in Stoke-on-Trent exists for one reason: websites need looking after. Software needs updating, backups need taking and threats need keeping out. Leave it alone for a year or two and things start to slip.

Most of the businesses we work with don’t want to think about any of that, and they shouldn’t have to. We host and maintain websites for a large share of the 200+ businesses we look after, so when something needs doing, it gets done by people who know the site.

It also means one number to ring. No being passed between a hosting company, a developer and a domain registrar while your website is down.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Managed hosting in the UK, with the maintenance done for you

UK hosting

Your website sits on UK servers, close to your customers.

Cloudflare protection

Cloudflare sits in front of your site to help filter out malicious traffic and keep pages loading quickly.

Weekly off-site backups

Your site is backed up every week and stored off-site, so there’s always a recent copy to restore if something goes wrong.

WordPress maintenance

WordPress, the Avada theme and plugins kept up to date, so known security holes get closed.

Checks after updates

When updates go on, we check the site still works as it should, rather than hoping for the best.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why WordPress maintenance is worth paying for

Most hacked websites we’re asked to fix weren’t targeted. They were simply out of date. Old plugins are an easy way in, and automated attacks look for them all day long.

Keeping a site maintained costs far less than rescuing one. It also keeps the site fast, which matters for your visitors and for Google. And if the worst does happen, a recent off-site backup turns a disaster into an inconvenience.

  • Fewer security risks from out-of-date software
  • A quicker site for visitors and search engines
  • Recent backups ready if anything goes wrong
  • Problems spotted and fixed by people who know your site
  • No chasing three different companies when something breaks

QUESTIONS

Hosting and maintenance questions

It varies with the size of the site and how much support you need. Our hosting and maintenance plans start from £240 a year, and we’ll recommend the right level after a quick look at your site.

Often, yes. We’ll check the site over first. If there are problems, we’ll explain them and suggest whether a tidy-up or a website rescue is needed.

Cloudflare sits between your website and your visitors. It helps filter out malicious traffic and can help pages load faster. We set it up on the sites we host.

Weekly, and they’re stored off-site, so a copy is kept separately from the website itself.

We usually recommend keeping business email separate, on Microsoft 365, so a website problem never takes your email down with it. We can set that up and help you move across.

Not if it’s done carefully. We take a backup first, test the site before switching, and handle the DNS changes so your email keeps working.
