Maintenance Plans

What are the main differences between the 3 plans - Nano, Lite and Booster?
Nano Plan is our most affordable plan, where you’ll have the support of our team to monitor your website proactively for security issues and intervene promptly when the need arises.

Lite Plan includes everything in Nano Plan, plus weekly updating of software (WordPress) & plugins, as well as doing full backups of your website every day. These actions are essential for keeping your website up-to-date and ensuring that you have access to the latest backup files in the event of a need to restore your website.

Booster Plan includes everything in Lite Plan, plus content updating, where our team will help you to update your website content such as editing text, images, etc (up to 1 hour/month).

How do I decide which plan is most suitable for me?
Nano Plan is suitable for businesses that are working with a tighter budget.

Lite Plan is our recommended plan as it is comprehensive enough to cover all the fundamental aspects of keeping your website secure and running smoothly.

For businesses that also need our help with updating your website content such as editing text & images, Booster Plan will be more suitable for your needs as it comes with 1 hour of content updates every month (which should be sufficient for most businesses).

Should your business require heavier content updates, kindly contact us to request for a customised quote.

Yearly vs monthly billing - which one is better?
In our experience, website maintenance is the most effective and cost-efficient for your business when done continuously. For a hassle-free option, go for yearly billing and enjoy up to 20% in savings!

If you prefer to give our maintenance service a try first without being bounded by a year-long commitment, you are simply start with monthly billing for greater freedom and flexibility. You’ll have the option to convert to a yearly plan later on, or discontinue our service at anytime (no questions asked)!

What do security strengthening measures include?
Security strengthening measures include database security strengthening, file permission tightening, firewall setup, preventing brute force logins, blocking fake Googlebots and more. In a nutshell, all of these measures are targeted at keeping your website safe from hackers.
What is malware and why is it important to check for it?
If malware virus is found on your website, Google will flag your site as malicious and block all visitors from entering, which means no one will be able to view any part of your website as long as the malware is still present. With our daily scans and active removal of malware viruses from your site, you can be assured that your visitors and customers will not have problems visiting your site anytime.

A full-site backup is a complete backup of all your website assets, including database, images and files. We do a full backup of your website every single day and the files are stored securely on the cloud. In the event that your website is hacked, we will be able to restore your website fully.
