Frequently Asked Questions
I test updates in the ManageWP staging environment when possible and monitor sites after updates are applied. If an issue arises, I’ll troubleshoot and resolve it as part of the monthly maintenance. If the fix requires extensive custom development, I’ll provide an estimate before proceeding.
Yes, but those would fall under hourly development work rather than the monthly maintenance package. I’m happy to provide quotes for larger projects.
I don’t provide hosting directly, but I can recommend reliable hosting providers and help you migrate sites if needed. I work seamlessly with hosting providers like WP Engine, Kinsta, SiteGround, Liquid Web, and others. For agencies hosting multiple client sites, I offer comprehensive hosting management services (see above).
You can add or remove sites at any time. Billing adjusts accordingly starting the following month.
Yes. If something urgent comes up between maintenance cycles, I’m available for emergency support at my standard hourly rate. I typically respond within a few hours during business days.
Absolutely. I work with Liquid Web, GoDaddy, GreenGeeks, Kualo, SiteGround, WP Engine, Kinsta, and most other major hosting platforms. Having a single technical partner who understands all these platforms is actually one of the biggest benefits of this service.
I’m happy to handle that communication for you. I can open support tickets, follow up on issues, and work directly with hosting technical teams to resolve problems. This is especially helpful for complex server issues or migrations.
Emergency response times depend on whether you’re on an hourly or retainer plan. Retainer clients get priority support with faster response times. For critical outages, I aim to respond within 2-4 hours during business days. After-hours emergency support is available by arrangement.
Yes! I can review your clients’ needs (traffic, storage, functionality) and recommend hosting solutions that balance performance with cost. I can also help you migrate away from providers that aren’t meeting your needs.
This depends on the hosting provider and scope of work. Typically, I’ll need admin-level access to your hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, or provider-specific dashboard) and potentially FTP/SFTP access. We’ll discuss the minimum access needed during onboarding to maintain security best practices.
