Get in touchWhat’s included in your content updates?
Any content updates you require each month, we do those for you. Need some copy changed, or images, we do those for you with pleasure. Any bugs you or we may find, those are also fixed.
What if 5GB disk space is not enough?
There are not many WordPress sites that require even close to 5GB of disk space. However if you do need more space, additional disk space is available as an addon. Upgrading is seamless and transparent with no downtime to your website.
What is a CDN & is it included?
A CDN is an optional upgrade, get in touch to order. A CDN (Content Delivery Network), a way for a website to serve content speedily, to visitors that are browsing far from where the server is located. E.g. when someone from Europe is browsing a site hosted in South Africa, the site speed may not be optimal. When using a CDN, most of the content is delivered from CDN servers in Europe, must closer to the visitor.
This improves the visitor experience on your site by delivering content much faster as the place the content is being delivered from is closer to their physical location.
Fast delivery of content (a page that loads fast), increases conversion rates and a whole host of other important metrics. Conversely a slow page delivery can a severe negative impact to a sites visitor numbers, conversion rates etc.
