Our WordPress hosting and website care services keep the technical upkeep of your site manageable. Get help with hosting, routine maintenance, and website questions, with a clear plan for what is covered and who is responsible.
Let’s Talk Web Hosting ↗Clear responsibilities. Practical support. Help after launch.
PRACTICAL HELP FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Hosting keeps your website available online. Website care covers the ongoing work needed to maintain the WordPress software and respond when something needs attention. We help you understand the difference, review your current setup, and choose the support that fits your website and budget.
We review your site’s requirements and arrange suitable hosting as part of the agreed plan. We explain which services are included, how renewal works, and who handles support. Domain registration and business email are separate services unless your proposal includes them.
Routine updates help keep the software current, but changes can sometimes affect a website. We define the update responsibilities in your care plan and check important functionality after maintenance. Major compatibility repairs or rebuilding outdated features may require a separate quote.
A useful plan identifies who makes backups, how often they run, where they are stored, and what can be restored. We confirm those arrangements for your setup. If you keep your existing host, the host’s backup responsibilities and any extra recovery work are agreed clearly. See WordPress’s guide to website backups for an introduction to the process.
We review practical protections and respond to reported website issues within the arrangements in your plan. No website can be guaranteed immune to attacks or software failures. Malware cleanup, emergency work, and specialist recovery are scoped according to the issue and coverage.
Need a photo replaced, opening hours changed, or help with a form? We can support day-to-day updates and investigate problems. Included editing time, response arrangements, and work outside the plan are explained before you sign up, so you know when an additional quote is needed.
We plan the move from your current provider, check important pages and forms, and review domain and email dependencies. Hosting changes should be coordinated carefully. If your site also needs a broader refresh, explore our website design service.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Hosting provides the server space and connection that make your website available online. Website care is the ongoing work around the site’s software, updates, checks, and support. They can be combined, but one does not automatically include the other. Your proposal lists the services you are buying.
Yes, we can review a care arrangement for a WordPress site hosted elsewhere. We first check the site, access, and provider responsibilities. Your host remains responsible for its own infrastructure and agreed backup services, while our maintenance and support duties are defined separately.
A hosting move does not always require an email move, but domain settings can connect the two. We identify your email provider and review relevant records before changes. Tell us about Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or other email services so they are included in the migration plan.
Backup coverage depends on the hosting and care arrangement you choose. We confirm the backup provider, schedule, retention, storage, and restore responsibilities before work starts. Do not assume that a content editing or maintenance service automatically includes independent backups or unlimited recovery work.
Some plans may include a defined amount of editing time; other work is quoted separately. We confirm the allowance, eligible tasks, and treatment of unused time in your agreement. New pages, design changes, integrations, and larger content projects are discussed as additional work.
Contact us with the page address, what happened, and when you first noticed it. We investigate according to your support arrangement and determine whether the issue involves the website, hosting, domain, or another service. Response times and emergency coverage depend on your plan; round-the-clock support is not assumed.
Often, yes. We review the site’s condition, access, plugin licenses, and any outstanding problems first. That review helps identify whether it is suitable for routine care or needs initial repair work. Existing premium software may require licenses that you own or renew separately.
Wix and Squarespace include hosting within their own platforms, so a WordPress hosting plan does not apply to them. We can discuss design or content help for those websites separately. If you are unsure what your site uses, send us the address and we will help identify the right starting point.
