FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is a WordPress care plan?
A WordPress care plan is an ongoing service that keeps your website secure, updated and fast. QED handles WordPress core upgrades, plugin updates, daily monitoring, backups and security scanning so your site stays online and protected without you having to manage it yourself.
How much does WordPress maintenance cost?
QED offers two fixed monthly plans: the Core plan at £50 per month for start-ups and small businesses, and the Enhanced plan at £150 per month for SMEs with e-commerce and higher data-handling needs.
Both are rolling monthly contracts with no lock-in.
What is included in a WordPress care plan?
Every QED plan includes WordPress core upgrades, plugin updates, security scanning, uptime monitoring, backups and server monitoring when you host with us.
The Enhanced plan adds weekly backups, real-time attack monitoring, database maintenance, performance scans and priority support.
Do I need a WordPress maintenance plan?
If your site handles enquiries, bookings or payments, yes. Without regular maintenance, WordPress sites become vulnerable to hacking, plugin conflicts and slow performance that harm your SEO and reputation.
A care plan prevents most of these problems before they cost you time or money.
Can you maintain a WordPress site you did not build?
Yes. QED supports and maintains WordPress websites we did not originally create. We review the site first to confirm plugin and theme compatibility, then bring it onto a care plan.
How quickly does QED respond to problems?
QED responds the same day for regular issues and within 2 hours for emergencies. Our approach is proactive rather than reactive, so most issues are caught by monitoring before they affect your visitors.
Can I cancel my WordPress care plan anytime?
Yes. All QED care plans run on rolling monthly contracts. There is no long-term tie-in, and you can cancel at any time.
Which areas does QED cover?
QED is based in South Brent in the South Hams, Devon, and provides WordPress care plans to businesses across Devon and the whole of the UK. Maintenance is delivered remotely, so location is no barrier.
Is QED's hosting and maintenance sustainable?
