Why Do I Need A Website Care Plan, Especially Now?

Unfortunately we now live in a world where websites are being increasingly targeted by overseas hackers and exploited with serious legal ramifications. Your hosting is already high quality but more needs to be done to prevent your website being hacked and remaining high performing. If you’re reading this page, then we know your website intimately and urge you to take action to protect your website.

All software needs to be updated on a regular basis, to keep it secure and performing well. If you are not monitoring, updating, and backing up your WordPress site, then it will become increasingly prone to a range of increasing security and performance issues, such as:

• Hackers can take down your website
• Hackers can send emails from your website (spam – not phishing)
• Hackers can embed explicit content on your website for your customers to see
• Hackers can hold your website at ransom

Other issues:

• The performance of your website diminishes
• User experience gets worse and deters visitors
• Google decreases your rank, with possible blacklisting (not showing on Google at all)
• Stressful for you and your team
• Hacked or broken sites are costly to your bank balance, as well as your brand
• Issues arise more frequently, costing you more to fix in the long run

ALL SOFTWARE IS VULNERABLE

Software needs updating. All software. Including the software that powers your website. More and more websites are getting hacked and attacked, including the big players like Optus and Channel 9 as well as millions of small businesses everyday. It’s the nature of the world we live in and unfortunately websites are an easy target.
