Can a UK agency handle WordPress updates, security and hosting together?

Yes — and for most small businesses, having all three handled by the same provider is significantly better than splitting them across different suppliers.

Why splitting providers causes problems

When your hosting, security, and updates are managed separately, accountability gets blurry. If your site goes down or gets hacked, you’re stuck in the middle. The hosting company points at the security plugin. The security company points at an outdated plugin. Nobody fixes anything quickly.

The all-in-one advantage

When one provider handles everything, there’s no finger-pointing. One call, one person responsible, one team that knows your site inside out.

What a good all-in-one provider covers

  • Dedicated WordPress hosting on well-maintained infrastructure
  • Daily off-site backups
  • SSL certificate installation and renewal
  • Antivirus and malware scanning
  • WordPress core updates tested before being applied
  • Plugin updates managed monthly
  • Human support when something goes wrong

What this looks like in practice

Our Clicks & Mortar plan at £59/month delivers hosting, security, and monthly plugin updates all under one roof, with UK telephone support included as standard.
