Looking after your website
Once you’ve gotten a website set up it’s a great idea to look after your investment. Maintaining the software and plugins the site runs on, keeping your website secure from malicious activity and keeping the details on the website correct and up to date or building up the content.
Why does a website need maintaining?
The main reason for keeping a website maintained properly is security. The software and plugins, the code the site is built with, will often need to be updated to the latest versions. Not doing so can lead to holes in your website security. Which can be a disaster for you and your customers.
Another reason to keep the details on your website up to date is for better customer service and retention. It’s not a good look for a customer to come to your website and either find outdated wrong information or they can’t find the information they are looking for due to broken links. Causing them to leave and look towards your competitors.
Keeping your website maintained is the best way to look after your investment and stop it from becoming a waste of time and money. In fact proper care for your website can help it’s growth and in turn help your business grow too.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of our most frequently answered website maintenance, security and management questions
I can get hosting cheaper somewhere else, why should I use yours?
There are alot of hosting options out there, alot of them great hosting solutions! In fact we recommend GoDaddy and Name Cheap if our clients want a third party to host their website. The benefit of using our hosting is we can handle everything server side in the event of issues. Of course you can call your chosen hosting provider and they can often help you. Sometimes all they can do is refer you to their help sections or forums and your stuck figuring it out or hiring someone to fix it. With our hosting we can take care of all of that hassle.
Can you set up email for me?
Yes! With our hosting we can create up to 30 email addresses at your domain name (example@yourwebsite.com) If you require more than 30 there will be extra charges to set up.
How will you know if my site goes down?
We use industry-leading uptime monitoring software which scans your site regularly. If a fault is detected or the website is unreachable for any reason, we are alerted immediately and can troubleshoot right away. If there is a problem we’ll let you know that we’re working on a fix, or have fixed the problem promtly – that way you’ll hear it from us first rather than from your customers!
Why is website maintenance important?
To keep up with software and plugin updates, new technology and updates to your own services, products and company information, there needs to be a thorough website maintenance and support framework in place. Websites which neglect to incorporate regular miantanence see:
- Higher risks of security flaws.
- Issues with plugins,software updates, management and incompatibilities.
- A flawed backup protocol for important files and documents.
- A poor and decaying end user experience.
- A tendency to not use the latest software updates to their full potential.
Most of the time businesses and digital enterprises feel as though they can save money by not utilising website maintenance services. However, it often costs more in the long run, a lack of maintenance will lose you business and put you at risk.
Can you mange my website even if you didn't build it?
Absolutely! It doesn’t matter who built your website we can manage it for you. We have clients whom were unsatisfied with their previous management team and have successfully come over to us without any issues.
If you maintain/secure/manage my website do I need to host it with Nerd Affects?
Whilst it does make life a little easier to host with us, it isn’t mandatory at all. We have a small number of clients who still host through a third party provider and we afford them the same level of support and care that we would to our hosted clients.
What level of access will you need to maintain/secure/manage my website(s)?
In order to properly provide our services to you, we need full admin logins for the backend of your site along with FTP logins, logins for DNS management and access to cPanel.
What security do you have in place to keep my website secure and my data safe?
We have automatic monitoring in place, this security check scans the pages on your website, compares the code against the known malware knowledge base, and alerts us if anything is flagged as a potential issue or vulnerability. This allows a more proactive approach rather than reactive, and ensures that your website doesn’t get breached.
In addition to this we install an industry leading security plugin on all sites. Using this plugin we apply levels of hardening to the site giving amazing levels of protection against brute force attacks and other common types of malicious activity. Should the worst happen and somehow your site does get breached, it comes with a fantastic post-hack clean up service.
We also recommend all websites we care for have an SSL certificate. When a web browser contacts your website, an SSL certificate enables an encrypted connection, ensuring data being transferred through your website (via contact forms or product purchases for example) is protected behind a layer of encryption.
In addition to the above, we have private security protocols (that we’ll not reveal here)
