Website Hosting

You're fully responsible for maintaining your website once it is transferred to your hosting. You should always have a backup copy of your website. You will need to make ongoing updates to WordPress and your plugins, similar to keeping your cell phone updated. Outdated software leaves your website vulnerable to security breaches and performance issues. If you need us to make changes to your website, we will not have access to a staging site for you, so it could cost more for us to work on your website. Also, if your hosting provider does not update your software, your site will eventually need maintenance before any updates occur.

Cheap hosting may be less expensive initially but usually costs more in the long run. Here’s why. Cheap hosting providers put your website on servers with multiple other sites. These environments are far less secure and leave your website vulnerable to security breaches. They are also slow, and your website may not load as quickly as it should. Slow loading websites will hurt your authority (SEO) with search engines. Cheap hosting providers often don’t keep daily backups of your website, which are critical and protect your uptime in multiple ways. If you don’t host with us and need to change your website, it could be more of a hassle to log in to your website, create a staging site, navigate outdated software, etc., which will cost you more money.

For your website files to connect to the internet, they need a home on a secure, fast internet server. You need a website hosting provider who can provide this service. You also need a provider who can help maintain your WordPress updates and other plugin updates. Otherwise, your website, plugins, and hosting can become incompatible with each other and “break.” (You will also need to maintain your website’s domain name. Typically, you pay an annual fee to renew your domain with your domain’s registrar.)
