WordPress Migration & Hardening

WordPress that
doesn't keep getting hacked.

A WordPress site on cheap shared hosting with outdated plugins and no backups is a breach waiting to happen. We migrate to managed hosting, remove the junk, harden the configuration, and set up monthly maintenance so it stays that way.

What's included

Everything you need, none of the upsell.

Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.

Migration

Moved to managed hosting.

Full site migration to managed WordPress hosting with server-level security and automated backups. DNS cutover with rollback on standby.

Plugin Audit

Remove what you don't need.

Every plugin reviewed: active, inactive, and abandoned. Outdated and redundant plugins removed. Remaining plugins updated and verified compatible.

Hardening

Configuration tightened.

File permissions corrected, XML-RPC disabled, login URL changed, and application-level firewall configured. Not a one-click security plugin, actual configuration.

Ongoing Care

Monthly maintenance included.

Monthly core, plugin, and theme updates applied to staging first. Backup verified. Uptime monitoring active. Rolled into a care plan.

How it works

The order we work in.

A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.

Step 01

Audit.

Current WordPress install reviewed: plugins, themes, user accounts, file permissions, and hosting config.

Step 02

Migrate.

Site copied to managed hosting on staging. DNS prepared.

Step 03

Harden.

Security configuration applied: permissions, login protection, firewall rules, and backup verification.

Step 04

Launch.

DNS cutover. Old host on standby for forty-eight hours. Site enrolled in monthly care plan.
