Understanding Our Hosting Options
$20/month plan: SECURITY PLAN
The Problem:
Sites get hacked all the time. If your site gets hacked, it will cost anywhere between $100-250 to get it fixed. Besides having to clean up the mess, if malware is inserted into your site and you don’t know it (many clients don’t notice when this happens), you can then be blacklisted by Google, McAffee, etc. and your site gets de-indexed. Recovery from being blacklisted is slow.
The Solution:
Because this has become such a problem, we’ve created a system to both CHECK client’s sites regularly for malware, and to stay on top of what needs to be done to PREVENT malware attacks (as much as possible).
Our $20/month hosting plan includes not only the hosting itself (saves you $10/month in hosting fees) but also malware monitoring, website backups, WordPress and plugin upgrades. We do the following:
- WP Upgrades: Since outdated WP versions make you susceptible to being hacked, we automatically upgrade your WordPress software when a new release is made available.
- Plugin Upgrades: Since outdated plugins make you susceptible to being hacked, we automatically upgrade your plugins when a new release is made available.
- Malware Monitoring: Since it’s important to catch any malware placement early, we scan your site to check on malware every 6 hours. If malware is detected, we immediately clean your site before you get blacklisted by Google, McAfee, etc.
- Website Backups: We automatically make a full backup of your site and all it’s files and data each month. If your site does get taken out with malicious code, we can easily get you back up and running.
If you have your own hosting, we encourage you to ensure that you have all of these protections in place, yourself. We’re able to provide hosting AND these protections for only $20 / month, because we do it for many websites and therefore get the benefit of efficiencies. If you do this for yourself, you will probably spend more than $20/month.
$50/month plan: PREMIUM PLAN
This is our premium hosting plan. It includes everything described above PLUS up to one hour’s worth of technical work on your website. The normal charge for technical work is $60/hour. If you need some work each month (us adding your blog posts, make small changes, etc.) this technical hour will cost you only $30 additional, beyond the $20 for other services. Deal.
If you don’t update your site regularly, this plan isn’t for you.
