What does a WordPress care plan include?
More than ‘we update plugins now and then’. How much we do depends on the plan you choose.
Updates
WordPress core, theme and plugins are kept up to date, without you having to remember.
Backup
Daily backups, so the site can be restored if something goes wrong.
Security
Monitoring and protection against common attacks and vulnerabilities.
Uptime and errors
On Active and Premium we monitor uptime and PHP errors, and find the cause when something stops working.
Support
Help when something breaks, instead of hunting for someone with spare time when it's urgent.
Further development
Premium includes development hours every month, so the site can grow with your business.
Passive is web hosting and a base package without monthly maintenance. Active and Premium include maintenance.

When does a care plan pay off, and when is an hourly rate enough?
A care plan pays off
When the website matters for sales, enquiries or day-to-day operations, such as an online shop, booking, a customer portal or a site with many plugins. Then one serious fault quickly costs more than a few hundred kroner a month.
An hourly rate can be enough
When you have a simple site, update it yourselves and can live with things standing still for a few days. Many start on Passive and move to Active when ‘we'll fix it later’ never happens.
Not sure?
Get in touch. We will tell you whether you only need help now and then, or whether a fixed plan pays off.
Frequently asked questions about maintenance
What is a WordPress care plan?
A fixed monthly agreement where we take responsibility for keeping your WordPress site updated, backed up and monitored. You don't have to remember the technical maintenance, and you get a predictable cost instead of random hourly invoices when something is urgent.
What does website maintenance cost at Nettsmed?
Passive costs from NOK 699 a month, without monthly maintenance. Active costs from NOK 1,790 and Premium from NOK 4,799 a month, with development hours. All prices are excl. VAT and apply to sites we have built. Advanced solutions such as online shops may cost extra.
What is the difference between Passive, Active and Premium?
Passive gives you web hosting and a base package without monthly maintenance. On Active we maintain the site and are available to you. Premium includes maintenance and time to develop the site further. Choose by how much you want to do yourselves and how important the site is to your business.
Does the plan cover security, backup and updates?
Yes, that is the core of Active and Premium. Passive has automatic updates and daily backup, but not the monthly maintenance. The plan cards above show what each plan includes.
When does a care plan pay off instead of paying by the hour?
When downtime, a slow site or a security hole costs more than the fixed monthly price. That typically applies to businesses with an online shop or integrations, or that want to know someone is keeping watch. An hourly rate suits one-off jobs on simple sites better.
Can you maintain a WordPress site you didn't build?
Yes, often, but we start with an audit. We need to see the hosting, theme, plugins and any custom code before we promise Active or Premium. Some sites need tidying up first. If so, we tell you honestly whether we can take over and what it costs.
What happens if the website goes down?
With Active or Premium we keep watch and help you through it: we find the cause, roll back if needed and get the site back up. How quickly depends on the plan and the situation.
Shall we take over maintenance?
Need something else?
Tell us which site it is, and we will tell you honestly which plan fits, or whether an hourly rate is enough.
