WordPress Maintenance Program Terms and Conditions

 

FAQs

Can I get multiple websites maintained?

Of course, you can get as many websites as you’d like maintained. Our pricing plans cover one website. For example, if you have multiple websites on subdomains, acorn30.com, and blog.acorn30.com, they count as two separate websites.

Is it possible to get phone support?

We currently only offer email support. It wouldn’t be possible to have as low prices as we do with phone support.

Does it matter what hosting company I’m using?

It doesn’t matter to us which hosting service you’re using. If you’re tired of your hosting service, then we’ll happily help you migrate to a new one.

How do your WordPress update services work?

Our team handles your themes, plugin, and WordPress core updates manually during low-traffic hours. It’s done monthly. We always have backups ready if anything goes wrong to ensure you don’t have any downtime.

What type of website edits are included in the Business Maintenance Program?

Edits do include edits to content on any page, changing banners, headers or footers, changing plugin settings, CSS adjustments, blog content or context edits. We do not include custom development (PHP, plugins, themes, etc), updating custom code, graphic design, PSD to WordPress, creation of content or building out a new website or subdomain.

Will you fix my website if it goes down?

With our 24/7 Uptime Monitoring you and our team will be alerted to any outages. We will work to restore your website from the most recent backup that we have on file. At times, for reasons beyond our control your website or hosting will require additional work to fix the problem that caused the outage. In this case, our team will provide you with recommendations and a quote for this additional work.
