Why are there costs?

enet.co & EntieNet has to facilitate the updates and the time involved in Hosting & Security Maintenance. We also host your website on servers located in Australia including an SSL certificate.

When are payment due?

Payments are based on the anniversary of your website being made live online, generally quarterly & taken via direct debit or via a 7 day invoice, on the first day of the month.

What is a Platform Review?

We review what elements of the website that can be updates in conjunction with WordPress, Servers, Themes and Plugins.

What is a Theme Update?

We customise your website based on a theme a third party Author has developed. When new versions of WordPress and or Plugins are announced, we must first check that the Theme is compatible. If the Theme is not compatible, we may have to wait until the Theme becomes compatible or contact the Theme Author, before we can make the update(s). In the scenario that the Theme becomes obsolete, we will offer you a re-build option at a reduced rate.

Premium Plugins

They are paid third party plugins that we may upload to your website for extra functionality. These plugins have licences attached and there maybe licence renewal costs associated, in order to update your website to the latest versions.

What is Website Hardening?

We install a plugin called Sucuri that will help lock down the less secure components of the wordpress admin.

What happens if my changes are lost?

We will only restore what is in the most recent backup, hence our recommendation for quarterly Hosting & Security Maintenance. You can request one off back ups or more regular back ups.

What is an emergency update?

We may be alerted to a serious vulnerability regarding WordPress, Themes and or Plugins. In these cases we will attempt to address the vulnerability. We provide 1 emergency updates per quarter included with the Hosting & Security Maintenance.

Website Browser & Device Compatibility

Website & device browsers, including but not limited to, Chrome, FireFox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Edge, may update their browser versions, this may cause website and website admin to have compatibility issues. We cannot warrant against these browser version updates.

Does enet.co & EntieNet guarantee that my website will be 100% secure?

No one can guarantee that, even with Hosting & Security Maintenance. However, the risks are minimised if we keep the website platforms updated. The quarterly plan will cover the cost to reload the latest back up of your website if your website is compromised.

Do we provide admin access to the website?

While enet.co & EntieNet has responsibility for the website hosting, ongoing maintenance, security of the website & our servers, we do not provide full admin access.

What website access do we provide?

We will provide you Editor and or Shop Manager access that enables you to update and manage the content of the website. We understand that online marketing is important, while we do provide marketing services, we do also work with many third party marketing companies and can add the marketing plugins to the website if requested.
