The problem
Websites aren’t brochures. They’re software, and software ages.
Most sites are built, launched and then left. Nobody is watching, and nobody told you someone should be.
Five layers, all going out of date
Your site runs on a server, PHP, WordPress, a theme and plugins. Each one needs regular updates.
Your builder has moved on
Designers and hosts usually stop at launch. Updates, backups and security fall between the cracks.
Attacks are automated
Bots and AI tools scan the whole internet for out-of-date sites. Small sites aren’t too small to find.
Why now · October 2026
PHP2Shell: a flaw in the software WordPress runs on
Two critical flaws in PHP let attackers run code on a server without logging in. Patches shipped on 21 October 2026, and attacks started before then. Sites on PHP 8.1 or older got no official fix at all.
If nobody is looking after your server, nobody applied the patch.
It is tempting for non-profits, associations, and small businesses to treat websites as digital brochures - set them up and assume they look after themselves. But software ages quickly.
What’s included

Server and PHP managed
Your site runs on NetInSites hosting, on supported PHP and patched servers.
Daily off-site backups
Your whole site backed up every day, stored away from the server.

FAQ
Questions
My site isn’t WordPress. Can you help?
Yes. We build fast, low-maintenance websites with hosting included. We don’t manage other traditional CMSs like Joomla! or Drupal, but can offer to convert them to a more modern platform. See new websites with hosting
Do you manage sites on other hosted platforms?
Yes. We can manage sites on platforms such as Shopify, Wix or Squarespace, should you need help with them. Get in touch
Can I just buy hosting?
WordPress Care is hosting plus the ongoing care, because hosting on its own doesn’t keep a WordPress site safe. If you need a new site, hosting comes included. See new websites with hosting
Why do I need to move my hosting?
Most security problems start at the server and PHP level. Hosting your site ourselves means we control every layer, so we can actually promise updates, backups and response times.
What if my site has already been hacked?
We’ll quote a clean-up first, then put the site on a plan so it stays clean.
Will my site change?
No. It looks and works the same, just on hosting that’s looked after. Migration starts from $0 for simple sites.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Plans are month to month.
What do the monthly change minutes cover?
Small edits like updating text, swapping images or adding a page from an existing layout. Unused minutes roll over for six months.
