Site Maintenance and Security Hardening (SMASH) keeps your website components current while monitoring and adapting your security stance against hackers. SMASH Hosting implements security best-practices with a vetted web host as a combined monthly subscription service.
- Pricing is simple: $100/mo for simple websites, higher subscription rates for more complex websites. Payments can be on a monthly subscription by credit card, quarterly by check or some other combination that works best for you.
- This is web hosting that keeps your plugins and themes up to date, and provides for an hour of troubleshooting at no charge if conflicts arise.
- Security includes obfuscated login paths, tracking visitor behavior, and blocking known attack originators, including brute force attacks, requests for non-existent pages and files, and shutting down back boors.*
- Websites are backed up daily by the web host, along with optional manual backups I sometimes perform before an update.
- I welcome websites I didn't build and do not charge for migrations.
- Websites I didn't build sometimes incur an assessment fee before I will agree to put them on my SMASH service.
- Someone on your staff will be added as a "Contributor" on my hosting services. If anything ever happens to me, you can easily convert the hosting to your own credit card and assume full control.
The only web hosts I trust, and from which we will select, are:
- baremetal.com
- siteground.com
- getflywheel.com
- wpengine.com
