Our Hassle Free Managed WordPress Solution

WordPress is a very popular content management system. In fact, the majority of our customers who purchase hosting from us use WordPress. This is why we have come up with our Managed WordPress Solution.

Whilst WordPress is a powerful and flexible tool, with a myriad of plugins that can help achieve most online goals, it does have its drawbacks.

Because it is popular with users, by default it becomes popular with hackers. Fortunately, WordPress and the plugin providers issue regular updates to improve the software and to fix security issues. However, you have to remember to do the updates. Ignoring this can leave your site vulnerable.

But of course, even with an update comes a risk. What if the update breaks your site? It’s not always easy to fix the issue.

At Hipposerve we believe that a busy entrepreneur already has enough to worry about running their business, without having to update and troubleshoot their website. Smaller businesses, without a dedicated IT team, often don’t have the resources to do this either.

What does our Managed WordPress Solution do?

This is why we created our Hippo Managed WordPress Solution, to take care of your entire WordPress management, without the hassle.

The first thing that we offer, during set up, is a full optimization and performance audit of your existing website, fixing common issues, speeding up image delivery, and optimizing a cache.

In addition, we now include a full off-site encrypted backup solution with 21 day retention, which, on its own, would cost £7.99 per month.

With our service, your website is monitored 24/7 for security issues and for updates. If a security issue is found, we are notified instantly, so we can take proactive action against it.

If an update is required, it is performed instantly. However, to minimize any risk from a corrupted update, a backup is taken before any files are modified, so reverting your website can be completed in a couple of clicks.

Manual Intervention

As part of our Managed WordPress Solution, one of our support agents visits the front and back end of your website monthly to ensure everything is working as expected. They will also check that backups and updates have all been successful, run some optimization routines and generally inspect the health of your site, performing any tweaks or fixes as necessary.

On top of that, the service also includes up to 4 FREE content updates per month, to help you publish blogs and keep your web content up to date.

Best of all, other than to provide the content for updates, there is nothing you need to do. Our teams look after your website 24/7, completely Hassle Free. You will just get a report at the end of each month, letting you know if everything has been running smoothly—and if not – what did to fix the issue.

All this for just £9.99/mo ex VAT.

Who Can Benefit from our Managed WordPress Solution?

Anyone with a WordPress website! This service is available to new and existing Hipposerve customers, as well as users who host their WordPress installation with a third party service. We just need to grated administrator access to the back end of your installation.
