Maintenance Package
What is a maintenance package & why do I need one?
For a website to function optimally, it needs to be maintained regularly. With a Swift-Hosts WordPress maintenance packages, your website or online store is in safe hands
The maintenance package includes:
Updates
Plugins, themes and WordPress core files are updated once a week. After the updates, the website is checked. If any bugs are identified, it is fixed as quickly as possible.
Backup
A full backup copy of the customer's website and database are created on a weekly basis.
VIP Support
All customers with maintenance packages are considered VIP customers and receive priority help if they want to add or change something on the website.
Virus Support
Regular virus scans are performed once every 2 hours. If anything suspicious is found, necessary measures are taken.
Plugin license
The packages include important performance-enhancing license programs that both speed up the website and improve the site's functionality. For example. Elementor Pro, which enhances the visual of the website.
Hosting
The maintenance package also includes the cost of the annual hosting.
My Time
You also get 2 hours monthly of my time to update pages and content. This does not cover new pages or products,
In today’s situation, a company’s website is its digital face and one of the most important channels for finding new customers. At the same time, today’s people are very impatient and quickly tire of websites that don’t work as they should or are slow to surf. We’re spoiled for choice with fast loading times and advanced functionality. However, a website does not only need to be fast, it also needs to be well protected. It is not unusual for a website to be subjected to hundreds of hacking attempts per week. Without proper protection, there is a high risk that any of these intrusion attempts will succeed, and the consequences can be very serious.
A WordPress maintenance package for your website or online store basically works in the same way as your insurance and regular garage service does for your car. In order for a website to be safe, secure and function optimally, it needs to be maintained regularly.
All websites absolutely benefit from a maintenance system, but for some types of websites these systems are more important than for others. If you have a website whose content is updated relatively often or if you have an online store that accepts payments, the maintenance systems are very important. If you have a small and simple website whose material is very rarely changed, a maintenance system is not as vital, but still highly recommended.
- If the website’s background software is never or very rarely updated, the website is more susceptible to intrusions by hackers and various types of malicious software. If these manage to get in, they can sabotage the website.
- If the website’s background software is never or very rarely updated, the website’s functionality may deteriorate. This can lead to poorer user-friendliness or to lost customers/sales.
- If you e.g. has an online store and stores customer data, an out-of-date page can be a security risk.
- If backups are never or very rarely created, it will be difficult to restore a website or online store in the event of an accident. If the only existing backup copy is then six months old, you miss out on the last six months of work on the website, and also order information from customers.
It is possible to take care of the maintenance yourself, if you are technically savvy and want to spend time continuously taking care of updates, backups, etc., and if you also trust that you can sort out any problems that arise. In normal cases, however, it is not recommended that you as a customer be responsible for the website’s technical maintenance.
No, in the same way that it is not mandatory to have the car serviced at regular intervals, it is also not mandatory to have a maintenance system for your website. However, there are clear risks in never or very rarely updating the programs that run the website.
