Yes we do. While we support all WordPress e-commerce platforms, we specialize in WooCommerce, which is very likely what you’re using.
We do support Magento eCommerce as well.

Our focus is WordPress so we have deliberately stayed out of services that extend beyond WordPress (e.g. email accounts).
We do offer a basic webmail services as part of the hosting CPanel, but we do encourage you to use either Office 365 or G Suite which are very professional and reliable.

Yes – after your first two months you can cancel within 30-days of your renewal date. You’re never required to stay with us – in fact, we’d prefer you have the option to leave if you’re unhappy with our service and give us feedback on how we can serve you better.

When we update WordPress and plugins, our team also monitors your site to make sure your site does not crash. If we do find an update breaks the site, we will attempt to fix it first, and send a notification to your account contact email address.  If we are unable to fix it (usually when a plugin is no longer supported in WordPress), we will restore your site before the update and contact you to find the best way to move forward, such as contacting the plugin developer or finding an alternative plugin. If the fix is unknown or not immediate, we will roll the site back to the most recent backup (created before the update). We will spend up to one (1) hour of time fixing/troubleshooting the issue – if we cannot fix within that time, we will give you a time/cost estimate and let you decide if you’d like us to move forward.

No, you don’t – but we do recommend since all our maintenance plans include a Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting which is very fast, reliable and secure. If you are currently using a share hosting, we do recommend to switch to our VPS hosting which is include in the price of your maintenance plan. Your website is an investment and you should have a quality hosting. We will migrate your website for free on our server.
If your existing host does not support any of our recommended backup options or does not meet our minimum requirements for hosting, you may not be eligible to receive all benefits of our service.

Your web hosts run CPanel and you can access your login page from www.yourdomain.com/cpanel.
It’s also typically included in your welcome email when you first signed up for hosting or from one of the first emails we sent you.
If you’re still unsure, please contact us.

Due to the variable nature of multisite installations, WordPress Multsite is not included in our package. If you have  a multisite installation, we can support you through a customized maintenance retainer that suits your needs, performed by our developers.
