// What Happens Every Month
YOUR WEBSITE — ACTIVELY
MANAGED EVERY SINGLE MONTH.
01
Security Scan & Malware Check
Full security scan of all website files — any malware, injected code, or unauthorized changes detected and remediated before they affect your visitors or your search rankings.
02
Software Updates Applied
WordPress core, theme, and all plugin updates applied in a staging environment first, tested for conflicts, then deployed to your live site — keeping everything current without breaking anything.
03
Uptime Verification
Uptime monitoring confirmed active and showing 100% or any downtime events from the past month documented with cause and resolution.
04
Backup Verification
Automated backup confirmed as completing successfully. Backup file integrity checked. Restoration capability verified quarterly.
05
Performance Check
Page speed scores checked and documented. Any degradation in load time investigated and addressed — because page speed directly affects both search rankings and visitor experience.
06
Monthly Report Delivered
Written report delivered documenting everything completed — security scan results, updates applied, uptime record, backup status, performance scores, and any recommendations.
// Why This Matters
Over 30,000 websites are hacked every day — most through outdated plugins and themes that had available patches. An unpatched WordPress website is not just a security risk. It is an SEO risk. Google actively demotes websites it detects have been compromised, and the recovery process can take months. Simply IT eliminates this risk entirely through proactive monthly maintenance.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT HOSTING & MAINTENANCE
What is included in Simply IT's website hosting and maintenance plan?+
Simply IT's website hosting and maintenance plan includes reliable hosting infrastructure, SSL certificate management, security monitoring, automated platform and plugin updates, regular automated backups, 24/7 uptime monitoring, malware scanning, and regular performance reporting. Everything you need to keep a business website fast, secure, and online — handled by our team so you do not have to think about it.
Can Simply IT host websites built by another company?+
Yes. We host and maintain websites built by other developers, on WordPress, Next.js, or most other modern platforms. We start with a technical audit of your existing site to identify any security, performance, or maintenance issues, then migrate your website to our hosting environment and apply our standard security hardening and monitoring setup.
What happens if my website goes down?+
Our 24/7 uptime monitoring detects outages immediately and alerts our team. For most issues, we resolve the problem and restore service within minutes — often before you even notice a problem. If an issue requires more extensive work, we communicate proactively and work to restore service as quickly as possible. This is the advantage of having a local team actively managing your website rather than relying on a generic hosting provider with no proactive monitoring.
How often do you back up my website?+
Simply IT performs regular automated backups of your website files and database on a schedule appropriate for your site's activity level. Backups are stored securely and retained for a period that allows recovery from a range of scenarios — from accidental content deletion to needing to roll back after a problematic update. If you ever need to restore from a backup, we handle it for you.
