Run Your Business, We’ll Deal with the Web Site
Keeping your WordPress web site up-to-date and working flawlessly isn’t a simple “set and forget” process. Plugins, themes, and WordPress itself are continuely moving forward with bug fixes, improvements and, most importantly, security updates.
And yet, if you depend on the your web site for your business such as selling goods online, it can be nerve-racking to know when to push the Upgrade button. While it is rare for an update to break things, it isn’t uncommon for things to “change” so that your store or site just don’t work like you expected.
WP Site Manager will manage your site. First, we’ll back your site up, everyday to a secure off-server location. Then we’ll monitor it for security intrusions and hacks. We’ll also review all updates and apply them for you.
Another flaw in human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.

Your Site is a target for hackers
Currently about 25% of the web is powered by WordPress, increasing year over year. That makes WordPress a big target for hacking – i.e. crack one and perhaps you can crack them all. So it is a daily battle with new releases of WordPress, and with the plugins and themes releasing new features, bug fixes and security patches as often as daily. Leaving a site unsupervised is just not smart. Especially if there is a membership or ecommerce function. Not only might a client be vulnerable, they could also be liable. Courts just this week indicated that the FTC can hold sites liable for poor data security practices and a certain “cheating” web site is facing a class action suit. No one can promise that a site/software is unhackable but there are proactive steps that can be taken to protect a site and its data. WP Site Manager includes continuous site monitoring, detection of brute force attacks, daily (or continuous) backups, keeping WordPress and the related software up-to-date. All the best practices to ensure the safety and availability of the site.
