An update lands
and the site
returns a 500.
The whole weekend with no site. Your old agency doesn't reply. On Monday you find out the hosting's "automatic" backups were a year and a half old.
Monthly web maintenance.
Service
Your website online without you having to think about it. Whether it runs on WordPress or custom code: hosting, domain, verified daily backups, updates tested in staging, and direct WhatsApp support. No unexpected bills, no providers that don't reply on Friday at 7, no hidden lock-in.
Hosting + backups + updates + WhatsApp support | Annual upfront, monthly support | from €190/year
The problem
Your website used to work. Until it stopped working.
Hosting that expires with no warning, plugins that break on Friday at 7, backups nobody ever made and the last dev who doesn't answer emails. You notice maintenance when there isn't any.

How I solve it
I manage it. You stop worrying.
WordPress maintenance or custom code: hosting in your name, continuous monitoring, verified backups and updates tested in staging before touching production. And a WhatsApp where the person replying is me, not a bot. No lock-in, no padlocks, no bills that grow on their own.
Service architecture in 5 layers
-
01
Hosting + domain in your name, no lock-in.
I set up the hosting (Hostinger LiteSpeed by default, others if your case calls for it) and the domain in your name. You're the owner. I just manage it. If one day you switch maintainer, the site isn't held hostage and there's no emergency migration.
- In your name
- No lock-in
- Hostinger LiteSpeed
- Switch with no padlocks
-
02
24/7 monitoring + verified daily backups.
UptimeRobot checking your site every 5 minutes. If it goes down, I get alerted in seconds. Daily backups on the server plus a weekly external copy, restorable in under 1 hour. Tested regularly, not just scheduled.
- Check every 5 min
- Daily backup
- External copy
- Restore <1 h
-
03
Security updates tested in staging.
Core, plugins, SSL certificates, PHP. Applied with care, not blindly: every update is tested in staging first to avoid breaking the site in production. Zero automatic updates that break your site on a Friday at 7.
- Staging first
- No auto-updates
- SSL + PHP
- Rollback plan
-
04
Direct WhatsApp support, no tickets or bots.
My personal phone during business hours. No tickets, no filters, no waiting 3 days for a bot to route you to another bot. If something serious happens, you call and I answer. SLA in writing depending on plan.
- Direct WhatsApp
- No tickets
- SLA in writing
- A human on the other end

- 2 h/month PRO
- 4 h/month Elite

Frequently asked questions about monthly web maintenance
The questions I get most before switching maintenance provider.
No problem. Most of my maintenance clients arrived that way: site built by someone who no longer replies. I run a free initial audit and tell you what to fix before migrating. If the site is very old or very poorly built, I warn you that maintaining it can cost more than rebuilding.
Yes to WordPress, custom code (PHP, Astro, Next.js) and most server-side stacks. NO to Shopify (its model doesn't need an external maintainer) or Wix/Squarespace (closed SaaS, nothing to maintain). If your site is on one of those, I advise you for free on whether to migrate.
Three options: (1) extra hours at €35/h, (2) upgrade to Elite with 4 h/month, (3) if you need a bigger one-off project, I quote it separately. In PRO the unused hours roll over to the next month (max accumulation 6 h).
I get monitoring alert in seconds. On Essential I try to respond fast but SLA only applies during business hours. On PRO I handle critical emergencies (site down, site hacked) also outside business hours. On Elite I respond in 4 h max including weekends. For pure 24/7 services (high-volume e-commerce) I recommend specialized maintainers.
You. Always. You create the Hostinger account and the registrar account (or we use yours if it exists), and I'm a secondary admin. If one day you decide to change maintainer, you keep everything. Zero locks, zero hostages.
No. Cancel with 30 days notice by email. If you paid annual and cancel mid-year, I refund the unused part minus the actual cost of hosting/domain already paid for the year. Zero fine print.
