<div><span>Hello everybody,<br></span></div>
<div><span>after introducing our maintenance and emergency services for WordPress sites on this list about two months ago, today I'm happy to announce our new <strong>Managed WordPress Hosting Service</strong>, available with immediate effect.
</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>While it's very easy to get a WordPress site up and running nowadays, as many web hosts offer 1-click installs and as WordPress comes with the Fantastico script collection, too many WordPress sites out there are poorly maintained and become an easy target each and every time a new security vulnerability is discovered (the
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordpress#Vulnerabilities">Wikipedia article</a> on WordPress lists some of these vulnerabilities and an estimate about how many sites are affected). Also, to make things even worse, many WordPress users don't perform backups on a regular basis (or don't know what exactly they have to back up...), what makes it hard or even impossible for them to recover from any kind of disaster.
</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>That's what made us come up with our new <strong>Managed WordPress Hosting Service</strong>. We understand that many WordPress users don't have the time or the expertise to perform regular backups and security updates. These tasks are essential and shouldn't be forgotten when establishing a WordPress site, but they can easily be outsourced, giving the WordPress site owners some peace of mind and letting them concentrate on the content and design aspects of their sites.
</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>The basic idea is that unlike your ordinary web host, we take care of your WordPress site maintenance tasks for you (in particular regular off-site backups, prompt security updates, installation of plugins and themes at your request) and we will keep you up to date about all these activities. Just like our existing services, this new service is offered at a very reasonable price, starting from $15 per month. This price includes the web hosting on one of our high-end servers, set up specifically with both WordPress application performance and with security in mind. It also includes setting up your site (or moving it from your current web host) and installing the plugins and themes you would like to use.
</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>We believe that besides professional WordPress users who depend on their blog being up and running reliably, </span><span>this service is also an interesting option for those consultants who wish to focus on design, content and advertising/marketing aspects or who simply wish to outsource these routine technical tasks, due to a high workload.
</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>If you have any questions or inquiries, don't hesitate to ask me.<br><br>Cheers, Josh <br> </span></div>
