Maintenance

WordPress maintenance plan.

WordPress sites need to be updated regularly. Otherwise security holes appear, load times suffer or features break. With my maintenance plan your site stays secure, fast and reachable. I take care of it, you focus on your business.

Hosting included · on a strong server

Your site runs on a dedicated server in Germany. Fast, reliable, GDPR-compliant. No shared hosting, no surprises.

Already hosting somewhere else? No problem. I migrate your site to my server free of charge if you take a maintenance plan. Domain and mail can of course stay where they are.
A note on hack recovery: In the event of a hack I offer recovery at my regular hourly rate, with the relevant tier discount. With the security measures in place (malware scan, firewall, regular updates) a hack is highly unlikely.
