Hosting & Maintenance That Just Works

Managed WordPress infrastructure, security, backups, and support — so you can focus on what matters.

The Situation

Your current server has critical issues requiring immediate attention.

Disk at 90% Capacity

Server failure imminent — no room for growth or updates.

No Remote Backups

Hardware failure means total data loss. No recovery options.

Security Disabled

ModSecurity off, no password policies, no 2FA protection.

PHP End-of-Life

Running PHP 8.1 — no security patches since November 2025.

RAM Under Pressure

Only 4GB with active swap usage — performance degradation.

21 WordPress Sites at Risk

The entire Accelerate Ministries network depends on this server.

What's Included

Enterprise-grade infrastructure and management, at a fraction of the cost.

Hosting Infrastructure

  • Google Cloud Platform — Sydney data centre
  • LiteSpeed Web Server with LSCache for WordPress
  • CloudLinux isolation — accounts protected from neighbours
  • PHP 8.x with configurable versions per account
  • Free AutoSSL certificates with automatic renewal
  • cPanel access for file management, email, and DNS
  • Unlimited email accounts (self-managed)

Backup Strategy

Three independent backup systems protect your data:

  • Daily Incremental: Mon–Sat, 6 copies retained. Granular file, database, or full account restoration.
  • Weekly Incremental: Every Sunday, 6 copies retained (~6 weeks of history).
  • Infrastructure Snapshots: Weekly GCP snapshots stored outside the server's availability zone for disaster recovery.

WordPress Management

  • Monthly scheduled maintenance window for updates
  • Pre-update backups with rollback capability
  • Visual verification of homepage and key pages (Standard & Premium)
  • WordPress mail configuration using SMTP2GO
  • Monthly automated wp_mail() testing
  • Vulnerability monitoring every 6 hours
  • Uptime and SSL expiry monitoring

Proactive Remediation

Minor issues identified during maintenance — compatibility fixes, configuration corrections, security hardening — are resolved without additional charge when they can be addressed more efficiently than communicating the problem.

If it takes less time to fix than to explain, we fix it.

Issues requiring extended time, client decisions, or third-party involvement are quoted before work proceeds.

Not Recommended

Option 2: One-Off Remediation

Fix and walk away.

Item Estimate
Disk expansion + cleanup $450–$750
Remote backup setup $450–$750
Security hardening $300–$450
ModSecurity configuration $600–$900
PHP 8.4 migration (21 sites) $2,100–$4,200
Security audit (21 sites) $1,500–$1,950
Documentation & handover $600–$900
Total $6,000–$9,900

What you get: A fixed server, audit, and documentation. No ongoing support, no monitoring, no response commitments.

What happens next time: You call someone again.

For comparison

The "Sensible Mix" managed option costs $17,380 in Year 1 — and you get ongoing management, monitoring, backups, and support every month after that. The one-off fix costs up to $9,900 and you're on your own the next day.
