Absolutely, you can upgrade or downgrade at any time.

Yes it does – a high-quality host is especially important for business websites. WP Minder services will work with many hosts, but not all. If you’ve had problems with your host or have a very slow site, we can make suggestions based on your site needs and budget. We can even help you migrate to a new host. We provide Managed WordPress Hosting with our Starter and Business Plans.

Yes, we offer Managed WordPress Hosting – a big step up from shared hosting and essential for the serious business owner.

Yes we can. Due to the likelihood that something will break during major WooCommerce updates, which happen 2-3 times per year, you can expect to be billed for extra support time when those updates are released. We’ll copy your site to a staging area so we can safely test the new update before doing it on your live site. If all goes well, it’ll typically be a 1-hour fee ($75 at our discounted rate). Otherwise, it will take longer depending on the problem. Managing WooCommerce plugin subscription issues, handling WooCommerce addon problems, talking with WooCommerce support on your behalf, etc. are not included at discounted rates.

We’ll roll it back to a safe version of the site at no charge. Or we can attempt to fix the problem, or replace the plugin – the discounted hourly rate of $75 applies to either (or apply the 30 minutes of included support for Business Plan clients). We can repair or replace most basic plugins fairly easily and quickly. Premium commercial plugins and themes may take considerably longer.

We’ll update customized commercial themes, like Genesis, and commercial plugins such as WooCommerce, but our sole no-charge remedy for breakages is to roll back to the previous version. We recommend you contact your developer to get your customized theme or plugin working correctly. If that’s not possible, we may be able to address the problem at our normal hourly rate of $105 (or higher for specialized programming) but your best course of action will be using your developer who did the original work for you.

Submit a ticket when you notice any of the following:

• Your site is suddenly not loading in a browser.
• Your site pages appear to be defaced (the sign of a hack).
• You’re seeing an error or warning message when viewing pages on your site.
• Large parts of your site aren’t loading properly, like a sidebar.
• You’ve run a scan using your security plugin and it tells you there’s something suspicious.
• You see user accounts (admin-level) you don’t recognize.
• People who try to access your site or purchase something are seeing a warning.

We’ll fix it. This may involve recovering from one of our backups, depending on what’s happened.

For the majority of clients, it’s unlimited free restores (clients with up-to-date sites and good overall site security measures in place don’t get hacked very often).

If we identified critical security issues with your site during one of our Security Audits and you choose not to correct them, your account will be limited to one (1) full free restore per calendar year. Your site was identified as high-risk and therefore a much better target for hackers. It’s your choice if you want to risk your site, but after the first restore in a calendar year, the $75/hour fee applies.
