While doing some research for a recent email to all customers about a severe WordPress bug, I came across a solution that allows me to manage the administration side of your WordPress site without having to log in to it.
The tasks I look after on your behalf include
-
- Updating WordPress
- Update plugins
- Update themes (on request. I am reluctant to update themes in case it over-writes your customisation)
- Ensure https compliance
- Monthly report to you
- other things…
123host is pretty much all-inclusive. I have always disliked the way some hosting businesses start with a cheap base price and then charge extra for every little thing.
However, subscribing to this service is quite expensive for me, and I pay based on the number of sites connected, so if you would like to have me manage the trickier part of your WordPress dashboard, the cost is $66 inc GST per year* per site. This isn’t much more than about $1 per week for peace of mind!
* yeah, the fine print - these prices were correct when I wrote this, it might have changed.
How do I subscribe to this service, please?
Place an order at 123Host.au or login to the client area and place your order or if you are already a customer I can do it for you.
