What’s Included in a Website Hosting & Maintenance Package and Why It Matters

A website isn’t something you launch and forget about. Just like any tool or platform that supports your business, it needs looking after. Hosting and maintenance packages take care of that ongoing work behind the scenes. They make sure your site stays secure, performs well, and is always available to your visitors.

This package includes everything needed to keep a WordPress website running smoothly, safely and reliably, without the hassle of managing it all yourself.

What’s in our Hosting Package

Website Hosting (Up to 5GB Storage)

Your website lives on a secure server, with enough space to support a well-built WordPress site including images, content, plugins and more. Hosting is fully managed, so you don’t need to worry about setting anything up or maintaining server software.

Domain Hosting (if required)

If needed, your domain name (e.g. www.yourbusiness.com) can also be hosted. This keeps everything in one place and simplifies renewals and DNS management.

Website SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is what puts the “padlock” in your browser’s address bar. It encrypts information sent between your website and your visitors, which is essential for both trust and security. This package includes full SSL setup and renewal.

Whats in our Maintenance Package

WordPress, Plugin & Theme Updates

Keeping WordPress core, themes and plugins up to date is one of the most important parts of website security. Updates are applied for you, safely and regularly, so your site doesn’t fall behind.

Website Theme Subscription

If your site uses a premium theme, the subscription is covered in this plan. That means you receive the latest design features and compatibility updates without any extra fees.

Access to Studio Plugins

Your site can benefit from premium plugins developed or licensed by the studio. These often give it extra features or design flexibility that free tools don’t offer.

Weekly Backups

A full backup of your site is taken at least every week, so there’s always a recent version available if anything goes wrong. This protects you against data loss and saves valuable time in case a restore is ever needed.

24/7 Security Monitoring

Your website is monitored around the clock for suspicious activity, malware or unauthorised changes. If anything unusual happens, it can be caught and dealt with quickly.

Uptime Monitoring

If your website goes offline, we’ll know right away. Uptime monitoring alerts our support team if your site becomes unavailable, so issues can be fixed before they affect your visitors.

Site Performance

Performance checks help identify anything that could slow down your site, from bloated plugins to image sizes. Fast sites keep users engaged and are favoured by search engines.

Priority Email Support

Need help or have a question? Support is always on hand, with priority response times as part of your maintenance plan.

Reduced Rate for Website Changes

Whether you want to add a new section, update content, or tweak your design, clients on a maintenance plan benefit from a reduced hourly rate for website changes and updates.

Usual Rate: $125+GST P/H Client Rate $92.50+GST p/H

Why It’s Worth It

Maintaining a website is like servicing a car. Skip it, and things break down when you least expect. Our hosting and maintenance packages are designed to take that responsibility off your hands. Your website stays up to date, secure and running at full speed without you having to think about it.

For small business owners, time is limited and priorities often lie elsewhere. Trying to manage WordPress updates, keep track of plugins, or troubleshoot security issues can quickly become overwhelming. Your focus should be on growing your business, not getting caught up in technical details.

That’s where this service makes a real difference.

Erica and her team take care of everything in the background, offering reliable support, clear communication and technical expertise. You won’t need to deal with confusing dashboards, long support tickets or chasing down expired licences. If anything needs fixing, checking or updating, it’s handled quickly and without fuss.

The goal is to give you confidence that your website is in safe hands.

You get peace of mind, better performance and trusted support when you need it. All while freeing up your time to focus on what you do best.
