Call or text us! Business-Class Website Hosting, Security & Monitoring
Your CMS *Content Management Systems, (specifically WordPress & Drupal) require ongoing updates, security enhancements, and maintenance throughout the year. At ImageWorks Creative, we offer managed hosting services to handle everything for you—no more dealing with overseas, impersonal hosting providers or struggling with tricky updates on your own.
What Is Managed Hosting?
Many businesses opt for cheap shared hosting, only to face hidden costs, inadequate support, and technical hurdles. Some providers, like GoDaddy, even upsell managed hosting during checkout. For a reputable business, a robust managed hosting solution is essential. With ImageWorks Managed Hosting, you get:
- Dedicated support: A live site engineer assigned to your account, ready to assist and handle emergencies.
- Security updates: CMS platforms require regular updates to prevent breakdowns and hacking attempts. With our maintenance plan, we ensure these updates are covered.
- Full control: Manage your hardware, bandwidth, apps, system, and security settings.
- Nightly malware scans: Comprehensive checks to protect against viruses and cyber threats.
- Reliable server support: If an issue arises due to our hosting environment, we fix it—at no extra charge. Exceptions apply only for issues caused by external log-ins.Get a qut
- 24/7 monitoring: Your server and website are continuously monitored for outages and performance issues.
