Web Site Care Plans

More than just hosting

A Care Plan is everything your site needs to keep it online once it's live. This includes business class hosting on a dedicated UK server, nightly backups held off-site, security patching, a firewall, and support direct from me. If the server ever fails, it's my job to get it back online.

Two levels of cover giving you peace of mind on a server or account level, with WordPress Care Plans on top if you need them.

Care Plan Questions

Hosting is included in a care plan, but you also get off-site nightly backups, firewall protection, server security and updates, monitoring and peace of mind if the server ever fails. Disaster Recovery is included as standard. The Complete Care package goes one step further and also covers you for support for your hosting account including email, configuration changes, optimisation support and more.

Server Support is the behind the scenes management of the server hardware and software that keeps everything ticking over. This work largely goes unnoticed unless there is an issue causing downtime. Server support is included in both the Core and Complete Care plans.

Account support is provided with the Complete plan gives you support on the features inside your hosting account such as setting up email accounts, password resets, PHP Configuration changes and more. If you're on the Core plan and you need hosting account support then you can still get support via a one off ticket.

If you're on a pay monthly plan you can switch plans on a month to month basis. For longer term plans you can upgrade your plan mid-term but you would need to wait until the plan renewal date to downgrade from Complete to Core.

£99 an hour on weekdays, 9am to 5pm, and £150 an hour outside those hours for anything that is not a server failure. I tell you what it will cost before I start, so nothing turns up as a surprise on an invoice. If it happens often, Complete works out cheaper.

No. A Core plan covers the server and the infrastructure and everything needed to keep it secure and online. A Complete plan covers the server and your hosting account, including things like email issues, password resets and configuration changes. Anything on your Computer, Laptop, Tablet or Phone are a local issue.

By Direct Debit. Tell me which plan you want and I will send you one to confirm, which takes a click. Payments are due on the 1st of the month, and the collection is taken a few working days before that so the money clears on the day.

It's an entirely different experience to a cheap, off the shelf hosting package. The hosting infrastructure I provide as part of a Care plan has been intentionally designed to provide first class performance, security, reliability, flexibility and performance.

Your website will benefit from the very best speeds, ongoing monitoring and regular software updates to ensure everything continues to 'just work'. If problems happen they are more than often fixed before you, or your customers, even notice.

You are free to host your site where you want. Just be aware that backups, disaster recovery, security and availability become the responsibility of the host you decide to work with, so make sure they provide these services. If you need support you can simply book an out of plan ticket.

The people I work with. A site is rarely one person's job, and these are the ones I hand the parts of it I do not do.
