Websites don't stay secure on their own.
Set-and-forget is how good sites end up in our emergency queue. Protection Plans keep your site updated, monitored, hardened and backed up — with one phone number when anything looks wrong.
Protect
$249 /month + GST
- Weekly core, plugin & theme updates — tested in a staging copy before they touch your live site
- Daily off-site backups, with a restore test every month (a backup you haven't tested is a hope, not a backup)
- Uptime, malware and file-change monitoring with alerts — we usually know before you do
- Firewall and login hardening (2FA, brute-force lockout, admin path protection)
- Quarterly plain-English security & performance report you can file or forward
Protect+
$397 /month + GST
- Everything in Protect
- Emergency rescue included — if the worst happens anyway, we fix it at no extra charge
- Priority same-day response on anything you raise
- Performance care: Core Web Vitals kept green, speed issues fixed as they appear
- Annual website security review through our security consultancy, HCSE
E-commerce, membership and multi-site setups are quoted individually.
Plans cover your website. Hosting is billed separately — existing Website Rescuers hosting clients get priority onboarding.
"What's the difference between this and hosting?"
Fair question — they solve different problems.
Hosting keeps the server online
The machine your site lives on: Australian servers, email, SSL certificates, and support when the infrastructure has a problem. Essential — but it doesn't touch the website software itself.
About our hostingA Protection Plan looks after the website
The software running on that server: its updates, its security, its backups, its speed. A perfectly healthy server will happily serve a hacked website — this is the layer that stops that happening.
Common Questions
I've been hacked right now — is this the right page?
No — you want emergency help. Call 1300 932 767 and we'll get you back online first. Protection Plans are for making sure it never happens again.
Can you protect a website you didn't build?
Yes — most plans start on someone else's build. We begin with an audit of the site as it stands, fix anything urgent, and then take over the caretaking.
Are there lock-in contracts?
No. Plans are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. We keep clients by being useful, not by contract.
Do the prices include GST?
Prices are shown + GST — so Protect is $249/month + GST and Protect+ is $397/month + GST.
What platforms do you cover?
WordPress and most PHP-based sites. Custom stacks, e-commerce, membership and multi-site setups are quoted individually.
