WordPress Maintenance Subscription

Indeed, not every Internet criminal is interested in your Web site or your users' data. Criminals “in real life” are also not always interested in houses with expensive contents. They sometimes choose vacant properties to build an XTC lab or marijuana 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....

Be careful: every web space can be interesting for cyber criminals.

That's no problem at all. Even if your website was not created by me, I can offer you maintenance.

A new WordPress release comes out every few weeks. These releases contain new features and fixed bugs (bug fixes) as well as security improvements. The same goes for the plugins installed on the website. So it is of utmost importance that your website stays up-to-date.

Even when you don't notice it, a hacker may be active on your Web site. In this case, your Web site is not a target per se, but a means for visitors to download something so that their computer can be infected 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 it is often the work of a hacker and I can take immediate action.

Of course I can never guarantee 100% that nothing can go wrong with your website. (After all, no one 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 run the backups daily, weekly or monthly automatically. 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.
