At Purple Pig Marketing, we don’t just design websites—we stand behind them. That’s why we host all of our client websites. Hosting with us ensures your site stays fast, secure, and up-to-date, backed by a team that knows your site inside and out. Our fully managed hosting means no more juggling third-party services or crossing your fingers when plugin updates roll out. We handle it all – because we know the value of a well-maintained website and how devastating downtime can be.

A Proactive Partnership, Not Just Hosting

Your website isn’t a “set it and forget it” project – it’s a living part of your business. That’s why our approach to hosting and maintenance is rooted in partnership. We’re constantly monitoring, updating, and protecting your site so you don’t have to. If you’ve ever dealt with bargain hosting platforms or have been left hanging by a developer, you already know the pain of slow support, vulnerabilities, and broken pages. With Purple Pig, you have a real team on your side.

We’ve seen what happens when site maintenance is neglected: lost leads, hacked pages, and in some cases, full rebuilds. Our service is about prevention – addressing issues before they snowball into big problems. Is this the most profitable service we offer? No. But it’s one of the most important. We include premium tools like CleanTalk for anti-spam and security, Elementor licenses, Gravity Forms, and more—at no additional cost—because we believe in delivering real value.

Why You Need a Website Maintenance Plan

Let’s face it: you’re busy running your business. Keeping up with security patches, plugin updates, and ever-evolving technology probably isn’t at the top of your to-do list. But falling behind on these basics puts your site—and your business—at risk.

Here are 4 reasons a website maintenance plan is a must-have:

1. Keep Your Website Up-to-Date

New security vulnerabilities and software updates roll out constantly. We’ll make sure your site is protected and running on the latest tech so you’re not left exposed to threats.

2. Prevent Downtime

Site crashes are frustrating, costly, and damaging to your brand. Many of our clients come to us after their site was attacked or went down due to poor hosting or neglected updates. Our plans ensure your site stays online and available to customers when it matters most.

3. Save Money Long-Term

Emergency fixes and full rebuilds aren’t cheap. Our maintenance plan helps you avoid those costs by keeping your site healthy and minimizing the risk of big, expensive problems down the line.

4. Premium Tools, Hosting & Support

Here’s what’s included:

  • Premium Web Hosting – lightning fast, 99.99% uptime
  • SSL Certificate – keeps your site secure and builds trust
  • Daily Backups – so you’re never left empty-handed
  • CDN Power – for blazing fast load times across all devices
  • Security Plugin – CleanTalk anti-spam & firewall protection
  • 24×7 Monitoring & 30-Minute Response Time
  • Management of Domain, DNS, and SSL
  • Ongoing WordPress core, theme & plugin updates
  • 1 Hour of Web Development per Month – for updates like swapping photos, changing text, adding new pages, or publishing a blog

We include all of this in our hosting and maintenance plans- not just because it’s convenient, but because it’s the best way to support your business. Think of it as a monthly tune-up to keep your digital engine running smoothly.
