Wordpress Support Melbourne

Managed WordPress hosting is a hosting plan that includes some basic website management tasks such as plugin updates and regular backups. We have put a detailed article together about this topic which you can view here.

WordPress websites use something called ‘plugins’ to add additional features and functionalities to your site. Almost every single WordPress website uses at least a couple of plugins to add contact forms, maps, social media feeds and other features to your site. These plugins need to be updated regularly – not updating them is a security risk and can lead to your website getting hacked. If you are not logging into your website and updating the plugins regularly, then you should consider getting a hosting plan that includes a plugin update service.

We can take care of that for you – you’ll simply need to provide us with login details for your existing hosting provider and website and we will ensure that the website and all of its contents are migrated across to your new WP Sparks hosting account. You can learn more about migrating a WordPress website here.

The WP Sparks hosting environment has been built specifically to host WordPress websites.
