WordPress Hosting. WordPress Maintenance. Or Both.
SKUNKWORK™ supports anyone or any business (SME) who has a WordPress site, needs a WordPress site,
or can’t afford downtime & spending hours on site housework.
Choose WordPress hosting, fully managed maintenance, or both together —
aligned to your budget, risk tolerance, and growth goals.
We support SMEs and individual site owners alike — from sole traders and limited companies,
to normal people running a single personal site that simply needs to stay secure, fast, and looked after.
Whether we maintain what you already have or recommend practical improvements over time,
the goal is the same: stability, security, and performance.
🧠
Modulated services that scale with you
Start simple, then upgrade instantly when you need more.
Our services are modulated so anyone on the platform can upgrade to access
one-click solutions and services — without replatforming, rebuilding, or switching provider.
✓Plugin & theme installation (set up properly, configured, validated)
SKUNKWORK™ Care Plans are designed to handle all of this — so if you’re on hosting only,
you can still scale into higher-touch support with a simple one-click upgrade.
🎯
A strong fit if you want WordPress off your plate
Maximum value for businesses and individuals who want reliability without the admin.
✓You don’t want to manage WordPress (updates, security, backups, performance).
✓You want a professional standard of hosting/maintenance — without hiring internally.
✓You need dependable support, not ticket ping-pong or vague timelines.
✓You prefer prevention over firefighting.
✓You want a partner that treats your site like business infrastructure.
You might be saying…
“I’m worried I’ll break the site if I update plugins.”
Or…
“My site is slow and leads are dropping.”
Or…
“My old developer disappeared / the agency is unresponsive.”
Or…
“I want one team accountable for reliability.”
🛡️
Clear boundaries
Premium support works best when roles and responsibility are unambiguous.
✓We’re not a “set & forget” bargain host — we prioritise stability, security, and performance.
✓We’re not generic one-size packages — your site gets the right level of care for the risk it carries.
✓We can support improvements and upgrades, but we do it properly: planned, validated, and aligned to your goals.
Core promise: your WordPress site stays secure, stable, backed up, and properly maintained —
with reliable hosting and support when anything affects the site.
If you want ongoing improvements, SKUNKWORK™ Care Plans and one-click upgrades make it simple to scale the level of service whenever you’re ready.
⚙️
Three ways we support you
Pick hosting, maintenance, or combine them for one accountable partner.
✓WordPress Hosting (only): for teams and individuals that handle maintenance elsewhere but want a stronger platform.
✓Fully Managed Maintenance (only): for sites hosted elsewhere that need professional care.
✓Hosting + Fully Managed Maintenance (recommended): one team owning performance, security, stability & continuity.
If you want one place to go when anything affects your site, combined support is the cleanest model.
