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

You can organise your own hosting if preferred, however we cannot be responsible for any ongoing site maintenance, all paid theme and plugins that are used in your website, security of downtime of your site if you arrange your own hosting. 
Our plans don’t only give you fast secured hosting but also peace of mind on your website performance, as well as access to our premium plugins (worth at least €550/year), troubleshooting, backups, and speed maintenance.
For a price of less than a cup of coffee a day your website will be maintained, looked after, and optimised for your business.

You are free to cancel anytime.
We can package up your website files and deliver them over to you to host, manage and maintain your own website moving forward. We’ll include a copy of The Website Owner’s Manual which will help you keep track of all the important details about your website; including logins, routine maintenance, & answers to our most frequently asked questions to help you have continued success with your website.

You will be responsible for acquiring the premium plugins we use for your website but we will give you the list so you can purchase it yourself.

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