Marathon Handbook: from hack to fully clean in under a day
A Saturday-morning malware injection brought down a content site serving millions of monthly readers. The site was flagged as deceptive by Google within hours. Belov’s on-call engineer triaged within 30 minutes, isolated the vector (an outdated plugin with a known CVE that had slipped past the prior maintainer), cleaned every infected file, and submitted the Google reconsideration request by end of day. Site fully clean, Google warning cleared, no data loss. Total downtime: 4 hours.
This is the kind of work our maintenance retainer is built for.

Why Pro WordPress Maintenance Beats DIY
A WordPress site that’s ignored for six months becomes a security incident waiting to happen. Plugins fall behind, vulnerabilities accumulate, performance degrades, and the first sign something’s wrong is usually a customer email saying the site is down. Our retainer model means that doesn’t happen — updates and security patches are applied within hours of disclosure, backups run nightly to off-site storage, and a real human is on Slack during your business hours. You focus on the business; we keep the site working.

Why WordPress Maintenance Pays For Itself
WordPress maintenance retainers are one of the highest-ROI investments a website owner can make. The math is simple: an hour of recovery work after a hack costs more than three months of preventive maintenance. A redesign forced by years of accumulated technical debt costs 10x more than steady upkeep. And every hour the site is down during business hours is direct lost revenue.
Our clients sign up for a maintenance retainer because they want predictability: known monthly cost, known response times, and a known team that already understands their site. We have been doing WordPress maintenance for US businesses since 2012, currently maintain dozens of sites under active retainer, and have a 7-year average client tenure on our retainer roster.
- Fast response: Slack support during your business hours, with average reply under 30 minutes.
- Security-first: Patches applied within hours of disclosure, not weeks.
- Real humans: No tickets vanishing into a queue; you talk to the same engineers month over month.
- Predictable cost: Monthly retainer from $250, no surprise invoices.

We handle all updates efficiently and promptly, ensuring your site stays secure, bug-free, and compatible with the latest technologies.

Imagine losing all your website data due to a server malfunction or security breach. Frightening, isn’t it? With our frequent backup service, you’ll never have to face this nightmare.
