ISVTEC Web Applications

Managed WordPress

WordPress run by engineers, not plugins: automatic updates with a Git history, 24/7 alerting and on-call, WAF, off-site encrypted backups.

A plugin update breaks the checkout on a Friday night. A forgotten admin account gets brute-forced. The site slows down the day the newsletter goes out. With WordPress, every one of these is a matter of when.

Installing WordPress takes an afternoon. Keeping it secure, fast and online for years, with someone who answers at 3 a.m., is another job. That is the job we take off your hands: we host, run and maintain WordPress for you, 24/7, with the same senior engineers on the servers and on the application, and tools, processes and experience built for WordPress.

Built for WordPress

  • Our own update tool applies core, plugin and theme updates on a schedule, and can hold back one plugin that must wait, with the ticket that explains why
  • Every change in production, by hand, by a plugin or by an auto-update, is committed to Git automatically: we know what changed, and we can roll it back
  • Core files checked against the official checksums by our monitoring: a modified file raises an alert
  • Login brute force banned at the server by a dedicated rule, and a WAF tuned for WordPress in front of the site
  • WordPress scheduled tasks run by the system cron, not by your visitors’ page views
  • Pre-production with the same configuration as production, refreshed from it, personal data anonymised

Included

  • 24/7 monitoring: over 100 checks every 30 seconds, an alert after 3 minutes of persistence, in your inbox in the same second as ours
  • Our engineers on call, reachable for anything: 24/7 with a 15-minute response on the Critical tier
  • Security updates of the system and of WordPress, tested in pre-production first
  • Managed backup twice a day: off-site, encrypted, out of ransomware’s reach
  • Hardening of the system, PHP and TLS, and a WAF in front of the site
  • The ISVTEC Console: sites, certificates, databases, backups and graphs, without a ticket
  • A post-mortem after every incident, down to the root cause

Who It Is For

Companies whose WordPress makes money or runs the business, and who would rather never think about updates, attacks or 3 a.m. alerts again.

Not for you if you are looking for €30/month hosting: we sell engineers who answer at night, not disk space.

Pricing

From €290/month excluding VAT per installation: updates, monitoring, off-site backups and 2 hours of ticket work included. 24/7 on-call with a 15-minute response comes with the Critical tier, quoted for your whole platform. Your hosting is paid directly to the provider of your choice, and your account stays yours. No long-term commitment.
