Website Maintenance & Hosting FAQ's

Monthly Website hosting is a service provided by Megnificent Creative (the web host) that sell or lease space on a server where you store the files (HTML, CSS, PHP, Images, WordPress Installtion etc.) that make your website accessible on the internet. Hosting is where the physical files for your website are stored.

If you’re planning on creating an online presence for your business, having a reliable web hosting plan is essential. Having dedicated hosting when building a website will ensure that your webpage will continue to run to the best of its ability. We have dedicated servers that provide technical support to all hosting accounts.

We can provide hosting packages to specific businesses needs. The plan you choose will depend primarily on how you plan to use your website and how much you have budgeted for hosting. Get in touch with Megnificent Creative today if you have any questions about our types of website hosting.

 

Just like updating your iPhone or iPad, website updates serve a number of different functions as listed below:

  •  Update WordPress platform core version  – because this is regularly being updated by WordPress
  •  Fix security holes and check for attempted hacking, plug any holes – because people will try to hack your website
  •  Optimize the utilization of resources on the operating system – to make your site perform well
  •  Add newer and more secure features – to keep the site up to date
  •  Remove old and unprotected features – to avoid clutter or conflict
  •  Update drivers to increase software efficiency – as these software drivers are updated
  •  Update versions for components such as Yoast, Gravity Forms, Askimet and make sure they work together – or they may conflict
  •  Ensure the uptime of your website – to ensure that people can find the site 24/7
  •  Check speed of website – to make sure that visitors get content quickly, before they move on elsewhere
  •  Check mobile or responsive view – to see that the website delivers on all popular mobile types
  •  Keep a copy as a Backup in case the site goes down – so that you can put up a saved copy
  •  Submit updated Sitemaps to Google – to tell them about your pages
  •  Check Calendar – to ensure that the date and time settings are correct
  •  Train your inhouse Marketer or Webmaster – to use optimisation tools and techniques
  •  Run through an agreed Check List – to see that all necessary tasks are done in a timely fashion
  •  Tip: Do little and do often – to avoid conflicts or large workloads. We recommend an hour or two monthly.

Woo-commerce, membership and event plugins required more complicated maintenance. There are also more troubleshooting issues that are can occurred such as:

*Your website also requires more resources in hosting when you add new products, images. customers details and orders. Better resources will ensure the website work properly and you are not losing sales because of the hosting performance.

We do NOT manage emails. We highly recommend you host your emails on a server and platform separate from your website for security reasons.

We recommend Google Workspace and can help you set it up (adding nameservers, DNS etc) as part of your Website Build package if you prefer.

We maintain WordPress websites, this includes regular security updates, plug in updates and any additional updates or maintenance that the website requires. When carrying out updates we identify areas of the website that are not functioning as they should, ie. broken links and areas where the site could be performing better. We ensure amendments are made to make sure the website is reaching its full potential.

  • Page builder

  • Caching and performance optimization

The cost of website maintenance is assessed on a case by case basis.  This depends on the size of the site and the changes that are required by the business in terms of functionality and content. You should allow an hour a month for security updates. The overall monthly maintenance fee will include the costs of all the elements required by the business including SEO, content, design and functionality.

We offer monthly, quarterly and annual payment options for our website maintenance packages. If you choose to pay annually, you will receive all of your support time for the year upfront and can use it anytime before your renewal date. 

Note: Monthly and quarterly payments require a credit card to be kept on file for automatic billing each month.

Unused support time does not roll over; however, if you pay annually we will give you all your support time upfront to use at any time.
