Security and Maintenance

The Story

Here’s the long and short of it. If you don’t have a security plan in place for your website, eventually YOUR SITE WILL GET HACKED.

Hacks and breaches come in all shapes and sizes and can have devastating effects on your site, server and the way your site displays on Google. So, drawing upon our experience with numerous sites, we’ve created custom security plans for our clients to help maintain the site, protect it, keep it backed up and reported on!

Also, the higher plans also have inclusive amendments to your site as it is essential to keep the content on your site refreshed and up to date as Google recognises sites that update on a regular basis as active and ranks them over static sites that remain the same for years.

The Problem

CMS (Content Management System) based websites are like your phone. They have core software, themes and plug-ins (apps). Like your phone, these all need to be updated on a regular basis to ensure they are as efficient and secure as possible.

The Solution

G-Host offer a range of security and maintenance packages that range from basic cover to full-on protection.
