What is included
Security
Two security systems run on the server. One watches for WordPress-specific threats; the other scans every file on the server each day. Hacked sites are cleaned up at no extra cost.
Backups
Every site is backed up nightly to a separate drive, never the drive the live site runs on.
Updates
WordPress core, plugin and theme updates are tested first and rolled back if something breaks.
Online stores
The server is set up for WooCommerce, with caching and speed settings in place.
Support
Support requests go to the person who manages the server.
Premium plugins
Every account includes licences for GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks, Super Page Cache, Perfmatters, Imagify and Rank Math SEO.
Cloudflare CDN
$10 per month extra
Cloudflare serves copies of the site from data centers around the world, which shortens load times for visitors outside the region. Setup and rules are included.

Can an existing WordPress site move here?
Yes. The migration is included at no charge: files, database, email accounts and DNS settings.
Where is the server?
In a US data center with redundant power and network connections. It is managed from Sacramento with root access.
What happens if a site is hacked?
It is cleaned up at no additional cost, restored from backup if needed, and the vulnerability is patched.
Is cPanel included?
Yes. Every account has full cPanel access for email, files, databases and DNS records.
Is there a contract or setup fee?
No. Billing is month-to-month and can be cancelled at any time. Annual billing is $240, two months less than paying monthly.
Are sites outside Sacramento hosted?
Yes. Sites across California and the rest of the US run on the same server with the same support.
More than hosting
WordPress maintenance plans start at $175 per month and add ongoing updates, security work and support. Custom web applications are built through DevSac.
