Website maintenance in Perth — because websites don't stay secure on their own.
Set-and-forget is how good sites end up in our emergency hacked website repair queue. Our Protection Plans are website maintenance done properly: your site kept updated, monitored, hardened and backed up — and hosted on our managed Australian servers — with one phone number when anything looks wrong.
Protection you can only half-deliver isn't protection.
We can't properly look after a website sitting on hosting we don't control — no say over server patching, no server-level firewall, and when something breaks, a three-way argument with a host who doesn't care. So hosting is included. Every Protection Plan site runs on our managed Australian servers, configured, patched, watched and backed up by the same people responsible for keeping your site clean.
Protect
$249 /month + GST
- Hosting on our managed Australian servers — configured, patched, watched and backed up by the same people responsible for keeping your site clean
- Migration onto our servers as part of onboarding, treated as a security exercise — see below
- Weekly core, plugin & theme updates — tested in a staging copy before they touch your live site
- Daily off-site backups, with a restore test every month (a backup you haven't tested is a hope, not a backup)
- Uptime, malware and file-change monitoring with alerts — we usually know before you do
- Firewall and login hardening (2FA, brute-force lockout, admin path protection)
- Quarterly plain-English security & performance report you can file or forward
Protect+
$397 /month + GST

Plans cover your website and its hosting. Email is a separate service — see email hosting.
Getting you here is part of the plan.
We migrate your site onto our servers as part of onboarding — and we treat the move as a security exercise, not a removals job. Fresh environment, current PHP, plugins culled and updated, every password and key rotated, backups verified. Your site arrives clean, or we tell you what we found.
Migration and security baseline included.
Want to stay with your current host?
You can — same price. Staying put doesn't make the job cheaper; it makes it harder. We'd be protecting a site on a server we can't configure, patch or vouch for. We'll still do it properly, and we'll be straight with you: the plan works best on our infrastructure.
"What's the difference between this and hosting?"
Fair question — they solve different problems, which is exactly why the plan includes both.
Hosting keeps the server online
The machine your site lives on: Australian servers, email, SSL certificates, and support when the infrastructure has a problem. Essential — but it doesn't touch the website software itself.
About our hostingA Protection Plan looks after both
The software running on that server: its updates, its security, its backups, its speed. A perfectly healthy server will happily serve a hacked website — this is the layer that stops that happening. And because hosting is included, the server underneath is ours to answer for too.

Common Questions
I've been hacked right now — is this the right page?
No — you want emergency help. Call 1300 932 767 and we'll get you back online first. Protection Plans are for making sure it never happens again.
I've been hacked right now — is this the right page?
No — you want emergency help. Head to https://websiterescuers.com.au/emergency or call 1300 932 767 and we'll get you back online first. Protection Plans are for making sure it never happens again.
Can you protect a website you didn't build?
Yes — most plans start on someone else's build. We begin with an audit of the site as it stands, fix anything urgent, and then take over the caretaking.
Do I have to move my website to your servers?
No. Migrating to our managed Australian servers is the default and what we recommend — it's how we can stand behind the whole plan — but if you'd rather stay with your current host, you can, at the same price. We'll be straight about why we recommend the move: on someone else's server we have no say over patching, no server-level firewall, and no way to vouch for the environment your site sits in.
Is my site safer on your servers?
We won't tell you our servers are unhackable — nobody's are, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling something. What you get is control and accountability: servers configured, patched, watched and backed up by the same people responsible for keeping your site clean. When one team answers for the whole stack, problems get fixed instead of argued about.
Is email included?
No — plans cover your website and its hosting. Email hosting is a separate service with its own pricing, and we can look after both; most clients have us do exactly that.
You already host my site — what does the plan add?
The site-level layer that hosting alone doesn't touch: staged software updates, malware and file-change monitoring, security hardening, restore-tested backups and quarterly reporting. Hosting keeps the server healthy — but a perfectly healthy server will happily serve a hacked website. The plan is what stops that.
What happens if I leave?
Your site and a current backup go with you. You own your website, your content and your domain — we hand everything over and help your next host get set up. We keep clients by being useful, not by holding their files.
Are there lock-in contracts?
No. Plans are billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. We keep clients by being useful, not by contract.
Do the prices include GST?
Prices are shown + GST — so Protect is $249/month + GST and Protect+ is $397/month + GST.
What platforms do you cover?
WordPress and most PHP-based sites. Custom stacks, e-commerce, membership and multi-site setups are quoted individually.
