THE TECHNICAL ESSENTIALS
Managed WordPress
$99/month
For sites suited to the standard plan.
- Hosting and WordPress maintenance
- Backups, baseline security and monitoring
- Support for covered technical issues
Start with a Website Health Check so we can review your site and recommend the right level of support.
WHAT WE MANAGE
The essentials behind a healthy WordPress website
Hosting and WordPress need attention together. This plan brings the core technical responsibilities under one service, with the scope confirmed for your website before management begins.
Managed hosting
WordPress hosting configured and maintained for your business website, with the server-side essentials handled for you. Covered hosting issues have a clear point of contact.
WordPress updates
Ongoing maintenance of WordPress core, plugins and themes within the agreed scope, with attention to compatibility and the condition of your website.
Backups
Managed backups provide a recovery option when needed. We review your website’s backup and recovery requirements as part of bringing the site into management.
Baseline security
Practical hosting and WordPress security measures work alongside updates and monitoring to help reduce common risks. Security concerns are reviewed within your agreed service scope.
Monitoring
Monitoring of website availability and technical warning signs helps identify problems that need attention. We investigate concerns in the context of your WordPress setup.
Technical support
A capable point of contact for covered hosting and WordPress issues. Explain what you are seeing; you do not need to identify the technical cause before asking for help.
BEYOND THE HOSTING ACCOUNT
Your website needs more than somewhere to run
Hosting provides the environment for a website. WordPress management adds responsibility for the software and ongoing technical maintenance within that environment.
The hosting environment
The foundation that runs your website.
- Managing the hosting environment
- Investigating covered hosting issues
- Supporting the infrastructure your site uses
The WordPress website
Ongoing technical attention within that environment.
- Maintaining core, plugins and themes
- Investigating covered WordPress problems
- Managing backups, baseline security and monitoring
Services vary by provider. The useful question is who owns each responsibility. Managed WordPress brings these two areas together, with clear boundaries for work that falls outside the plan.
A TECHNICAL POINT OF CONTACT
Help that considers the whole issue
A website problem is not always a hosting problem. When a covered issue arises, you have someone who can investigate the website as well as the environment it runs in.
The aim is a useful next step, explained in plain language, and a clear understanding of who is responsible.
01
Tell us what you are seeing
A plugin conflict, maintenance issue or hosting concern can produce similar symptoms. You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself.
02
We investigate covered issues
We consider WordPress as well as its hosting, work to understand the problem and address work within your agreed plan.
03
You get a clear next step
If the solution needs development or another provider, we explain the boundary so additional work can be considered separately.
IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?
A practical plan for an established business website
Managed WordPress is a good starting point for a relatively straightforward WordPress site with limited ongoing content or design work.
Based in North Texas, North Dallas Hosting works with businesses in Dallas, North Dallas and Frisco.
This may suit your business if…
- Your site explains your services and helps prospective customers contact you.
- You want hosting and technical maintenance professionally managed.
- You make occasional website changes yourself or arrange them separately.
- You value a technically capable point of contact and clear responsibilities.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT LEVEL OF CARE
Need regular website work as well?
Managed WordPress focuses on hosting and core technical maintenance. It is not a content-editing, design or development retainer.
Work arranged separately
- Content editing, design changes and SEO work
- New functionality and substantial development
- General computer support and unrelated third-party systems
Substantial development and larger website projects belong with PageUP, our related development business.
MORE ONGOING ATTENTION
Website Care
$179/month
The recommended next step when you want more proactive website attention or recurring website work. We recommend the right scope after reviewing your needs.
Care Pro provides another option for more involved requirements.
Some websites need an individual plan
Complex ecommerce, membership, learning platforms, multisite networks, custom applications, high-traffic sites and extensive integrations require review. Another care plan or custom scope and pricing may be appropriate.
GETTING STARTED
From website review to ongoing management
We review outside websites before accepting responsibility, so your plan starts with a clear understanding of the site and the work involved.
01
Review your website
Start with a Website Health Check. Tell us how your business uses the site and what concerns you. We review its condition and requirements to determine whether the standard service is suitable.
02
Agree on the right plan
We explain the findings, identify any work needed before onboarding and recommend a plan. You can consider the scope and terms before moving ahead with an agreement and payment.
03
Bring the site into management
Once the agreement and payment are in place, we coordinate onboarding and any required migration. The transition is planned around your website, its dependencies and the responsibilities being transferred.
04
Verify and begin ongoing care
After onboarding, we check the website’s baseline condition, confirm the covered responsibilities and begin ongoing management. You know where to turn for covered hosting and WordPress concerns.
MANAGED WORDPRESS
A managed foundation for $99/month
The standard plan combines managed hosting with core WordPress maintenance, backups, baseline security, monitoring and technical support for covered issues.
Your Website Health Check helps establish whether the plan fits your site. Any preparation, migration requirements or different service needs are discussed before responsibility is accepted.
If your business needs regular website work or more proactive care, we can recommend Website Care or Care Pro.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you get started
A few practical questions about bringing your website into management.
Can you take over a WordPress site hosted elsewhere?
Yes, existing WordPress sites can be considered. We review the site first, then explain suitability, any preparation needed and the proposed onboarding or migration scope before you proceed.
What if my website has not been maintained?
The initial review helps identify existing problems and maintenance needs. Work required to bring the site into a manageable condition may need to be agreed separately before ongoing service begins.
Does this plan include changing text, images or page layouts?
Managed WordPress focuses on hosting and technical maintenance. For recurring content or website work, discuss Website Care. Larger design changes, new features and development projects can be considered through PageUP.
Is this suitable for an online store or membership website?
Those sites need individual review because their transactions, accounts and integrations can create different management requirements. Depending on complexity, another care plan or custom scope and pricing may be more appropriate.
Are paid plugins and other subscriptions included?
Tell us which paid plugins, themes and external services your website uses. Their costs and renewal responsibilities need to be confirmed in the agreed scope; do not assume those subscriptions are included in the monthly plan.
Why begin with a Website Health Check?
It gives both of us a clearer understanding of your website before a plan is agreed. We can identify existing concerns, discuss your priorities and recommend the level of service that fits.
