YOUR SITE GETS ITS OWN DEDICATED RESOURCES. I put your site on a dedicated VPS, whereas shared hosting is just that: a shared server, tied to a bunch of other sites that could be dealing with malware, performance issues, and more.
MANAGED HOSTING IS REALLY FAST . I tune servers for optimal WordPress performance and configure all the caching, so you don’t have to spend time worrying about site speed!
TOP-NOTCH SECURITY. I stay on top of the latest security vulnerabilities and reduce the possibility that your site will be compromised. And IF your site is somehow compromised, I’ll fix it for free.
So, in a nutshell, all of this means you can stop worrying about the servers and the hosting and the hackers and your site performance and instead, spend that time running your business. Huzzah!
E-Commerce and LMS (learning / memberships) sites are resource hogs because of user activity. They require more server resources than a standard website with little user activity. They also require more care and maintenance to ensure a problem free user experience.
It depends on your site build but here are the core commercial plugins I use:
- Generate Press Pro ($59 annual)
- Generate Blocks Pro ($59 annual)
- PostMark Email Server for site’s automated emails ($15 monthly)
- Performatters ($24.99 annual)
- LearnDash *license provided in E Commerce package*
- WP Fluent Forms ($79 annual)
- Endorsal ($39 monthly)
- WP Social Ninja ($89 annual, provided on premium hosting)
- Short Pixel ($9.99 monthly)
- SEO Press ($149 annual)
- Privacy and Cookie Policies via Ilow ($89 monthly)
- Snicco Fortress Security ($49 monthly)
These plans are offered on a subscription basis and are paid monthly or quarterly. You are free to cancel any time by notifying us 21 days before the end of your current month or quarter.
NOTE: You will need to setup a new hosting account with a hosting provider and have your site migrated if you decide to cancel the hosting I provide.
The short answer: the same reason your car needs maintenance.
The detailed answer:
All software is vulnerable and as WordPress grows in popularity — it powers over 30% of the web — it becomes a target for malicious attacks. This is why plugin and theme developers are constantly monitoring for bugs and possible security vulnerabilities and release updates when needed to ensure your website is safe.
Updates are critical to the health and longevity of your site, and the easiest way to keep your site secure is to keep it updated.
I’ve never seen a well maintained site hacked or infected with malware.
While my hosting and maintenance plan is not mandatory for clients, it is highly recommended due to the importance of security, optimization, updates, backups, and support.
If you choose to opt out of my care plan, you will assume complete responsibility for website updates, security, backups, and costs associated with any pro-license plugins and other services outlined in this plan. Additionally, you will be required to sign a clause releasing me from any responsibility or involvement in the event of a website breach, hack, or performance issues due to lack of proper optimization.
Your email accounts will (and should) be hosted separately than your website. If you are wondering why, here’s a super article to read.
I recommend both Hover and GSuite for email hosting.
Here’s what the pricing looks like for a single email address with Hover:
- Forward – $5/yr
- Small mailbox (10G storage) – $20/yr
- Big mailbox (1TB storage) – $29/yr
Hover’s got a simple, clean interface and top notch human support. Love them for both domain registration and email hosting.
GSuite is more than email hosting, providing many additional features like online cloud storage, shared calendars, and video and voice conferencing.
Both are excellent options, so it really depends on your needs. Unsure? Then we will help you decide which option is best for you.
You are free to cancel any time by notifying us 21 days before the end of your current month. Nothing complicated here.
You will, though, need to setup your hosting account with another provider and have your site migrated to your new hosting provider.
