Website maintenance and hosting
Three care plans, from R250 per month, that handle the hosting, updates, backups, security and support, so website edits and updates never take time away from running your business.
Website maintenance and support services
Wired Web Services offers three WordPress website maintenance plans: Hosting & Maintenance at R250 per month, Maintenance & Additions at R400 per month and Maintenance & Development at R1,500 per month, all excluding VAT. All three include hosting with SSL, WordPress core, theme and plugin updates, regular backups, security monitoring and helpdesk support. The R400 plan adds one hour of development every month, and the R1,500 plan adds five.
The plans suit busy business owners who do not have the time or expertise to keep a website current. We host the websites we look after on our own servers, so problems are caught early, a clean backup is there when you need it, and you always have a real person in Johannesburg to email when something needs changing.

The work that keeps a website earning its keep
An unmaintained website becomes slower, less secure and harder to fix every month it is left alone. This is what we do so that never happens to yours.
Hosting
Fast, monitored WordPress hosting on our own South African servers, with your SSL certificate kept in place and valid.
Security and backups
Regular backups and security monitoring, so problems are caught early and the website can be restored quickly.
Updates and upkeep
WordPress core, theme and plugin updates applied, then the website checked after every run.
Support
A direct line to the team when something needs looking at, with requests tracked on our helpdesk.
Performance
Caching and image optimisation kept in shape, so the website stays quick as content grows.
Changes on request
Content updates and additions handled for you, with development time included on the R400 and R1,500 plans.
Three plans, no surprises
Every plan includes hosting, security, backups, updates and support. The difference is how much development time you want included every month.

Moving your website onto a care plan
Whether we built your website or not, every care plan starts the same way.
Review
We check the website's current condition: WordPress version, plugins, security, speed and backups.
Move
If the website is hosted elsewhere, we move it onto our servers with your content and email planned into the move.
Stabilise
Updates are brought current, anything urgent is fixed, and backups and monitoring are switched on.
Care
From then on, your website is updated, backed up and monitored every month, with the team a message away.
