The Simple, Reliable Foundation Your WordPress Site Needs
Fast hosting, daily backups, security, updates, and personal support — all handled for you. Essentials gives your site a solid base without the cost or complexity of higher-level plans.
A Clean, Worry-Free Home for Your Website
Essentials is the entry point into Concierge — built for small-to-medium WordPress sites that want fully managed hosting and professional care, without needing ongoing development time or advanced features.
If you simply want your site to run fast, stay secure, stay backed up, and have somebody you can actually reach when something odd happens… Essentials is the plan designed for you.
Who Is Essentials For?
Perfect For:
- Business & personal brand sites
- Blogs and content-based sites
- Simple membership sites (light activity)
- Light WooCommerce setups
- Anyone who wants all hosting + maintenance handled professionally
- Site owners not ready for deeper development or marketing support
Not Ideal For:
Sites that are resource-heavy, dynamic, or require ongoing hands-on involvement. For those, Core or Platinum is a better fit.
What You Get With Essentials
(All The Basics)
Fully Managed Hosting
High-performance hosting tailored to your site. No cPanel. No tech headaches. I handle all the nerdy stuff so you don’t have to.
Daily Off-Site Backups
Your site is automatically backed up using a 3-2-1 strategy, powered by BlogVault and Cloudflare storage. Multiple layers of redundancy. Restores? Handled for you.
Security & Malware Protection
Firewall protection, uptime monitoring, vulnerability checks, daily malware scans, and proactive fixes before issues become problems.
WordPress Updates Done For You
Weekly site updates for WordPress core, plugins, and themes — including visual checks and fix-it support if something breaks.
Image Optimization
Automatic optimization via ShortPixel ensures your site loads quickly without you having to fiddle with settings.
Email Deliverability
Your site’s contact forms, password resets, and notifications are sent via Postmark for reliable inbox delivery.
“First-Name Basis” Support
You don’t deal with a help desk or AI bot. If you have a question or something goes wrong, you just ask me. Simple.
More Than Hosting. Less Than Core.
The Sweet Spot For Many Websites
With Essentials, you get performance and peace of mind without paying for advanced tools or ongoing development.
You get:
- Hosting handled
- Backups handled
- Security handled
- Updates handled
- You get me as your human support contact
If later you decide you want a private collaboration area, analytics, premium plugin licensing, or discounted development help, you can upgrade to Core anytime.
Hosting Built Specifically For Concierge
Not all hosting is created equal. Most web hosts treat you like a number – and even the big-name “managed WordPress” hosts will often charge you up to $30/mo for a “one size fits all” plan that isn’t actually managed. They don’t actively maintain your WordPress site – and most problems are left to you. Essentials includes:
- Tuned cloud servers optimized for specifically for my client’s WordPress sites
- Servers are over-powered – and NOT shared with anybody outside of Concierge. It is ONLY for my clients and myself.
- Server-level caching and performance monitoring
- Multi-layered security
- Fully managed DNS via Cloudflare
- Automatic image optimization
- Fully handled migrations
Most “managed” hosts expect you to manage everything yourself. Essentials is actually managed.
