FAQ
Your Questions Answered
What is the difference between website hosting and website maintenance?
Website hosting provides the server infrastructure that makes a website accessible online, while website maintenance keeps it updated, secure, functional, and performing properly. Maintenance typically includes software updates, troubleshooting, security monitoring, and technical support. WEBSHARK combines managed WordPress hosting with ongoing maintenance services, allowing Ottawa businesses to manage their website through one local provider rather than coordinating separate hosting and technical support companies.
How much does WordPress hosting and website maintenance cost in Ottawa?
WordPress hosting and maintenance costs in Ottawa depend on website complexity, support requirements, and the services included. WEBSHARK offers managed WordPress hosting and support starting at $540 per year, with additional service options for businesses requiring more comprehensive assistance. Our plans can include monthly WordPress updates, technical troubleshooting, website changes, and responsive support, providing businesses with predictable annual costs instead of unexpected maintenance expenses.
Does WEBSHARK offer unlimited website changes and technical support?
Yes. WEBSHARK offers website maintenance plans that include unlimited changes, fixes, and technical support for existing WordPress websites. Services can include updating text and images, modifying existing pages, resolving website errors, troubleshooting forms, and maintaining functionality. Major redesigns, new websites, and specialized marketing services are quoted separately. Our objective is to provide businesses with ongoing access to professional website support without requiring separate invoices for routine changes.
Why is regular WordPress website maintenance important?
Regular WordPress maintenance helps protect websites against security vulnerabilities, software conflicts, broken functionality, and performance problems. WordPress themes, plugins, and core software require periodic updates to remain compatible and secure. WEBSHARK provides ongoing maintenance that includes scheduled updates, troubleshooting, and technical oversight. Proactive maintenance helps reduce avoidable disruptions and supports a reliable experience for customers visiting a business website.
Can WEBSHARK maintain or repair a website built by another company?
Yes. WEBSHARK can maintain, troubleshoot, and repair WordPress websites originally developed by other agencies or independent developers in most cases. Our team can assess the existing website, identify technical problems, review its hosting environment, and recommend appropriate support options. Services may include fixing broken functionality, updating plugins, improving performance, and migrating websites to managed WordPress hosting without requiring a complete redesign.
Does website hosting and maintenance affect SEO and Google rankings?
Website hosting and maintenance can indirectly support SEO by improving website speed, availability, security, mobile usability, and technical reliability. Slow loading times, server outages, and broken website functionality can negatively affect user experience and search visibility. WEBSHARK uses managed WordPress hosting and ongoing technical maintenance to help websites remain accessible and functional. However, hosting and maintenance alone do not guarantee higher Google rankings or visibility in AI-generated search results.
How quickly does WEBSHARK respond to website problems or support requests?
WEBSHARK prioritizes responsive website support, particularly when technical problems affect website availability, functionality, or customer inquiries. Urgent issues receive immediate attention during available support hours, while routine requests are generally addressed within one to two business days. Our Ottawa-based team provides direct assistance with website errors, updates, forms, and troubleshooting. This responsive approach helps businesses avoid extended disruptions and maintain a reliable online presence.
