Summary

  • We provide domain & hosting services for customer convenience.
  • We take regular backups and store them on multiple third party services for redundancy. However, we cannot guarantee no data loss or compromise of the backups. The responsibility of ensuring a recent backup is on customers (contact us if you have any questions about how to backup the website)
  • We update WordPress & plugins where possible once a month, along with fixing any compromises as part of the package. While this proactive approach negates most attacks, we cannot guarantee a site won't be compromised or data potentially taken.
  • There is simply no way for a few hundred dollars a year we can guarantee a website is un-hackable
  • If the hosting invoice isn't paid come renewal time your account will be disabled. We won't be liable for any 'damages' due to the website being offline.
