I make backups, take care of updating Joomla and extensions and monitor your website." author: "Jeroen Moolenschot" intro_image: "https://www.joomill.com/images/joomla-onderhoudsabonnement.png" --- # Joomla maintenance and updates ![Joomla maintenance and updates](https://www.joomill.com/images/joomla-onderhoudsabonnement.png) Joomla is in itself a secure system to build your website with. However, this does not mean that a Joomla website automatically remains secure. One of the most important conditions for keeping your website really secure is that all software is always kept up-to-date. This applies both to Joomla itself and to all the extensions you use. Outdated software can contain vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit to attack your website. By updating regularly, you significantly reduce this risk and ensure that your website remains optimally protected. ## Keep Joomla safe and up-to-date However, I understand that, as an entrepreneur, you do not have the time (or inclination) to check every few days whether new versions of Joomla or your extensions have been released. Fortunately, this is not necessary with my maintenance contract. For a fixed monthly fee, I make sure your website remains secure and up-to-date. I continuously check for updates and install them as soon as they become available. This way, you don't have to worry about the technical side of your website and you can focus entirely on your own work. ## Custom Fields **Systeem:** joomla **Titel offerte:** Safe and always up-to-date **Prijs:** from €20 per month **Offerte USPs:** - Joomla Updates - Extension Updates - Backups - Monitoring - Security reviews - Help & Advice **Offerte Button tekst:** Maintenance requests **FAQ:** **"My website is of no interest to hackers"** Indeed, not every cybercriminal is interested in your website or your users' data. Criminals 'in real life' are not always interested in houses with expensive contents either. They sometimes choose empty properties to build an XTC lab or cannabis plantation. A poorly maintained website is similar to a vacant property and can be used to send spam or phishing emails undetected or to spread viruses. In many cases, the consequences are only visible when this is discovered by Google and your visitors see a notification that your website is a danger. But by then it's too late.... So beware: every web space can be of interest to cyber criminals **My website was created by another party** That's no problem at all. Even if your website was not created by me, I can offer you maintenance. **Make sure you stay up-to-date** A new Joomla release comes out every few weeks. These releases contain new features and fixed bugs (bug fixes) as well as security improvements. The same applies to the extensions installed on the website. So keeping your website up-to-date is of the utmost importance. **Monitors and malware scanner** Even when you don't notice it, a hacker may be active on your website. In this case, your website is not a target per se, but a means for visitors to download something to infect their computer or to retrieve credit-card information, for example. Your website is monitored 24 hours a day for noticeable file changes. These changes are noticed my monitoring system. When a file is modified, this is often the work of a hacker and I can take immediate action. **Backups for security** Of course, I can never 100% guarantee that nothing can go wrong with your website. (After all, nobody can) Due to various circumstances, you may need a backup. The best backup extension is Akeeba Backup PRO. With it, you can easily make a copy of your website and database. But what happens if your website gets hacked, you might not be able to access your backups anymore. Therefore, it is recommended to store the backups externally. To be on the safe side, I store all backups in my Cloud storage. The frequency of backups depends on the activity on your website. In consultation, I automatically run the backups daily, weekly or monthly. I regularly check the backups for errors, because nothing is more annoying than an incomplete backup at the moment you need it. I make sure there are enough backups, so we always have a "clean" backup available. **USP:** Joomla updates ![](https://www.joomill.com/images/joomla-onderhoud-updates.png) Always the latest version of Joomla and extensions.
