WordPress System Maintenance & WordPress Hosting
Your website doesn’t stop working after it launches — and neither do we. At Cinch Media, we offer fully managed WordPress hosting and maintenance packages designed to keep your site fast, secure, and always online. From daily backups and security monitoring to plugin updates and on-page SEO, we handle the technical details so you can focus on running your business. Based in Grand Haven and serving clients nationwide since 1996.
Why WordPress Maintenance Matters
WordPress powers over 40% of the web — and that popularity makes it a constant target for hackers, malware, and security vulnerabilities. Outdated plugins, expired SSL certificates, and unpatched core files are the most common entry points for attacks. Beyond security, an unmaintained WordPress site slows down, breaks, and falls in search rankings over time.
Most business owners don’t have time to stay on top of WordPress updates, monitor Google Search Console for errors, or run monthly performance checks. That’s exactly what we do — personally, for every client on our maintenance roster.
Our WordPress Hosting & Maintenance Packages
All packages include Premium Managed WordPress Hosting on WP Engine — lightning-fast load times, daily automated backups with one-click restore, SSL certificate, and industry-leading uptime. Here’s what each tier includes beyond that:
WordPress Theme & Plugins
In building your WordPress website, we utilize third party plugins that add function and capability to your site. Many of the themes and plugins incur an annual fee. You will be billed these fees with your hosting invoice each year.
How We Support Your WordPress Website
Our basic WordPress System Maintenance Package includes the following services:
Let us customize a package to include further items such as content updates, small jobs, checking page speed, enhancing design, setting up re-directs, increasing conversions, and security protection.
