WordPress Maintenance: Updates, Backups, Security — All Taken Care Of
Monthly WordPress maintenance plan starting at €9.90. With a 99.9% uptime guarantee and 4-hour recovery in the event of a hack — handled personally by Dennis.
Your WordPress website needs regular WordPress support. Not just once in a while, but on an ongoing basis. According to Sucuri, outdated plugins are responsible for over 50% of all WordPress hacks—and WordPress is the most hacked CMS in the world. Not because it’s insecure, but because most installations aren’t maintained.
We handle all WordPress support: updates, backups, security, and monitoring. Monthly, transparent, with no minimum term. Your WordPress update service runs in the background—you just see that everything works.

Why not make it optional?
What happens if you put off updates
Four specific risks—all of which have an impact on the business.
01
Security vulnerabilities remain unpatched
Automated scanners constantly check for known vulnerabilities. Outdated plugins are often targeted within hours of a vulnerability being disclosed.
02
Plugin conflicts are becoming more common
The longer you put off updates, the greater the risk of conflicts between plugins and the core. The result: blank pages, broken forms, and missing features.
03
Google penalizes slow-loading pages
Outdated installations load more slowly. Slow loading times hurt your ranking.
04
In the worst case, malware
Hacked websites are exploited for spam, phishing, and crypto mining. Recovery costs many times more than monthly maintenance.
What does it include?
Six maintenance modules
All of these packages cover these topics to varying degrees.
building block01
WordPress Core Updates
Deployed promptly and tested on staging (Professional and above). No blind updates—controlled deployment. Major, minor, and security patches.
building block02
Plugin and Theme Updates
Plugins are the most common target for attacks. Update them regularly, check for conflicts, and test their functionality. In the case of critical security vulnerabilities: act immediately, not just during the next update cycle.
building block03
Backups — daily, tested, recoverable
Databases, files, media. Daily (Professional), weekly (Business), monthly (Starter). Recovery tested — back online in minutes.
building block04
Security: WAF + Scanning + Hardening
Web application firewall blocks brute-force attacks and SQL injection. Vulnerability scans every 6 hours. Virtual patching at the firewall level even before official plugin updates. 2FA, login limits, XML-RPC disabled, backend editor locked.
building block05
Uptime Monitoring
24/7 monitoring. We get notified before you even notice—and take action.
building block06
Performance Check
Measure load times, identify bottlenecks, check caching. Fast load times as a ranking factor.
WordPress Maintenance Packages
Four plans — cancel anytime
All prices are net and can be canceled on a monthly basis. No maintenance contract with a minimum term. Most customers start with the Business plan—which offers good value for money for company websites.
Package01
Starter
Basic
For small WordPress sites that need to run reliably.
Emergency outside of maintenance hours
In the event of a critical security incident or website downtime outside the maintenance SLA: Code-Rescue as a premium service with a response time of less than 30 minutes.
We guarantee 99.9% uptime on all maintenance packages starting with the Business plan. If your site goes offline or gets hacked due to an update despite our maintenance, we’ll restore it free of charge within four business hours—no questions asked.
We do not guarantee rankings, traffic, or visitor numbers—that would be unprofessional. Our guarantee applies only to availability and recovery time.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About WordPress Maintenance
Six direct answers regarding contracts, backups, and security.
How much does WordPress maintenance really cost?
+
Starting at €9.90/month (Starter), €29.90 (Business), €49.90 (Professional), and €79.90 (Enterprise). All prices are net, with monthly cancellation options and no setup fee.
Do I need a minimum term?
+
No. All plans can be canceled on a monthly basis. If you're not satisfied or your needs change, you can cancel at any time effective at the end of the month.
What if my site gets hacked anyway?
+
Starting with the Business Package: 99.9% uptime guarantee + free 4-hour recovery. We'll restore the site from a backup and fill in the gap.
How often are backups performed?
+
Monthly (Starter), weekly (Business), daily (Professional + Enterprise). Enterprise also includes a staging backup before every update.
What is virtual patching?
+
When a plugin vulnerability is discovered, it can sometimes take days for the vendor to release an official update. With virtual patching (available in the Professional edition and above), we block the exploit at the firewall level—before the patch is available.
Can I switch from another maintenance plan?
+
Yes. We regularly take over WordPress sites from other maintenance providers. If nothing has been documented and the previous provider is no longer available, we offer Code Rescue as a premium service.
