In the case of Red Design’s hosting… Who handles WordPress security, backups and updates on my website? We do. Hosting comes with automatic backups, antivirus, SSL and more. And if you want us to look after Plugin updates, we do that. If you would like us to manage your monthly content updates, we do that too.
