Software Maintenance & Security for Your Website

In the current technology climate of increased hacking and malware activity, we recommend subscribing to monthly software updates and maintenance.

For MakeWeb Hosting clients, a Software Maintenance package is required, to keep both your website, and the server IP reputation, in tip-top shape.

Your website is live and working as it should be - great! Equally important is keeping it that way.

Websites need maintenance and virus protection. Internet browsing software is regularly updated, as well as the coding languages that websites are built on.

In today’s internet-driven world, a regular maintenance plan for the software with which your website is built will help you avoid issues with website security later on.

What is Software Maintenance?

Software Maintenance is a required service that goes hand-in-hand with your Website Hosting (or a standalone service if you want the security but aren't hosting with MakeWeb), whereby we run regular WordPress, Plugins and Theme software updates where viable and necessary. We require this with your Website Hosting because - not only can software updates include bug fixes and additional features - it is the best line of defence in preventing your WordPress website from being hacked.

And ensuring that all of our hosting clients are on Software Maintenance protects the server IP reputation for all.

Insurance for your peace of mind

If your website is hacked while you are on our Software Maintenance package, we will promptly restore it at our cost.

Annual & Pro-Rata Billing

Annual Software Maintenance package fees are billed in sync with your hosting service. This means if your hosting service period starts in April, then your Software Maintenance package will also renew in April. Therefore, if you start a Software Maintenance package at any other time, the service will begin with a pro-rata bill for the remaining time in the current hosting period.

We do this so that you have fewer things to remember across a year.

What Software Updates are included?

WordPress, Theme & Plugins - we will run recommended and safe software update releases. (When there are major software version releases, we will wait until the bugs are known and fixed to run the update of the safer version. We will roll back updates that cause a code conflict to a previous version. We will not run updates to software that is known to cause a code conflict.)

What if website is hacked or malware found?

If your website is hacked while you are on our Software Maintenance package, we will promptly restore it at our no additional cost.

What if upgrades are needed?

If we find that any upgrades are required or recommended (in addition to the software updates) to keep your website running smoothly, we will advise for you to approve before we implement suggested upgrades at our hourly rate.

We want to take care of your WordPress website.
