Why WordPress security maintenance?

According to statistics From 40,000+ WordPress Websites in Alexa Top 1 Million, more than 70% of WordPress installations are vulnerable to hacker attacks. In late 2021 GoDaddy WordPress hosting was hacked, exposing the websites and information of 1.2 million customers. WordPress security concerns are valid.

Due to the rise in digital security breaches and popularity of the WordPress platform, Hosting Canada is taking steps to ensure that your website and data is as secure as possible. Over the years we have had to go through the painful process of removing and restoring client websites that have not had sufficient maintenance and security protocols in place.

Restoring a hacked website can be costly. It takes time, effort and can affect your business through service interruptions, brand perception and lost sales.

Additional malware or spam cleanup may be provided for an infected website that is being transferred to Canada Hosting.  We typically estimate 2-5 billable hours per website breach to perform the following:

  • Malware scans & cleanup
  • Spam protection

However, preventative maintenance is the best solution for peace of mind for your digital investment.
