Hosting and Maintenance Plans

Website Hosting

Once you have a website created, hosting is essential to make your website accessible to the World Wide Web. We don’t overcrowd our servers like some of the lower cost providers do, making your website slow and discouraging your visitors. We make sure your website has the resources it needs to run smoothly. We keep our servers updated and secure, so your website performs at its best.

SSL Secure Certificate

An SSL Secure Certificate establishes an encrypted link between your website and the browser. When a website is secured, you will see a lock in your browser. SSL / HTTPS is recommended for all websites on the internet. Google shows all non-SSL websites as “Not Secure” and this may impact your ranking on Google and discourage visitors from visiting your website.

Virus and Malware Scan and Clean

Prevention is always better than cure… but just in case we have both. If your website security is compromised, it can become unresponsive, unavailable, or even dangerous. The impact on your business can be substantial. We protect your website with:

• Real-time Malware Processing
• Scheduled/On-demand Malware Scanning
• Automated Malware Clean-up
• Account Brute-Force Prevention
• Web-Attack Protection
• Port-Scanning Protection
• L7 DoS Protection
• Outdated/Vulnerable Software Patching
• Domain Reputation Management
• SMTP Traffic Management

Full Site Backup / Storage

Full Site Backups are an essential step to securing the data on your website. Regularly backing up your files ensures that your data can be restored if it becomes compromised in any way. In the event of a malware breach or infection, regular backups help us find and restore a clean copy of your files.

Email / Phone Support

We’re easy to reach and always happy to help and offer support! We encourage you to call us at 717.763.4020 or email us at [email protected] with any questions, big or small.

CMS Updates

A Content Management System (CMS) is a type of software that makes it easier to add, edit and manage the content on your website. When new features or updates are released in a CMS, it’s important that your website receives these updates as they will help ensure the security and functionality of your site. As web professionals, we make sure your website stays up to date with the latest CMS updates so you can focus on operating your business.

Website Notification Email Deliverability/ SPAM Control Monitoring and Troubleshooting

The use of forms on your website can help your business acquire new customers and facilitate communication with current customers. When a form is submitted, an email is sent to notify both you and your visitor. Unfortunately, these emails can sometimes be stored as spam or fail to be delivered at all, preventing communication between both parties. It can also be frustrating to find your inbox full of unwanted spam emails from your web forms. We eliminate these difficulties by monitoring and protecting your forms from spammers and making sure your emails are being delivered as intended.

Quarterly website Monitoring and Maintenance

Having your website monitored periodically is a good practice to make sure it is functioning and performing properly. Broken links and 404 errors can look unprofessional and divert viewers from your site. We’re here to take care of the busywork for you, visually assessing your website architecture and fixing any errors or broken links that may arise.

Website Speed and Performance Monitoring

Just as important as a well-functioning user interface is the speed and performance of your website. Slow loading times can adversely affect search engine ranking, resulting in less traffic to your site. Performance is key and we make sure your website is fully optimized to bring better search results and a more satisfying user experience.

Website Theme Refresh

As with anything design related, websites sooner or later begin to appear old and outdated. This can hold your site back and adversely affect traffic and conversions. When this inevitably happens, a redesign can be the boost your site needs to appear modern and up to date. By taking advantage of this service, you can rest assured that your website will make use of current technology and design patterns, thus attracting visitors and helping you to meet your business goals.

Content Updates and Design/Development Time Blocks

Does your website need regular updates to keep information current? We’ve got you covered. We offer regular updates to any information on your site, including events, news, staff changes, photos, products, services, and more. We also offer updates to add or change functionality and features. Our base hourly rate is $125/hour; however, we also offer a discounted rate if you add time blocks to your maintenance plan. Ask us about this service and we can discuss your individual needs and give you a quote to add this to your plan.
