WordPress, plugins, and themes are continuously being further developed. Updates fix bugs, improve functions, and close known security vulnerabilities. Anyone who delays updates permanently unnecessarily increases the risk for their website.
Outdated components are not just a technical problem. Known vulnerabilities in WordPress, plug-ins, or themes can be specifically exploited to compromise the security of your website.
We regularly check your WordPress installation and update the WordPress core to the latest version.
As part of the maintenance, installed WordPress plugins are regularly checked for available updates and updated.
The active WordPress theme is also regularly checked and updated to the latest version.
Typically, CURIAWEB personally takes care of updating your WordPress website once or twice a month.
Regular updates close known security vulnerabilities and reduce risks that can arise from outdated WordPress components.
You don't have to constantly check yourself whether updates are available and then install them—we take care of this recurring technical work for you.
At CURIAWEB, Managed WordPress Hosting means that we personally take care of the regular maintenance of your WordPress installation. We handle updates for the WordPress core as well as installed plugins and themes.
In doing this, we do not rely on having all available updates automatically installed in the background. WordPress maintenance is carried out and managed by us.
No, that is precisely where an important difference of our managed service lies.
CURIAWEB performs regular WordPress maintenance manually. As part of the maintenance, we check available updates and update the WordPress core, plugins, and themes.
Fully automatic updates are convenient, but they are not the best solution in every situation. Especially when dealing with multiple plug-ins, themes, and custom features, new versions can conflict with one another. That is why, with Managed WordPress, we deliberately rely on personal support rather than a purely automated update system.
WordPress websites often consist of components from different developers. When a new version of a plugin is released, it can happen that it contains changes with which another plugin or the theme being used is not yet fully compatible.
If all updates are installed automatically without control, display errors, functional problems or other conflicts may occur in individual cases.
However, that does not mean that automatic updates are fundamentally bad. With a Managed WordPress Service, however, we prefer a controlled maintenance process.
CURIAWEB generally performs regular WordPress maintenance once or twice a month.
In the process, we take care of available updates for WordPress core, plugins, and themes. This means you don't have to check the WordPress dashboard regularly yourself and carry out every single update manually.
Updates not only deliver new features. With them, developers also fix bugs and close newly discovered security vulnerabilities.
If WordPress core, plugins, or themes are not updated over a long period of time, known vulnerabilities can remain and be exploited by attackers. Regular updates are therefore an important part of WordPress security.
However, they do not replace other security measures such as backups, SSL, or server-side protection mechanisms.
No. Such a guarantee would be unserious.
Even with careful maintenance, updates can cause unexpected interactions with plugins, themes, or custom modifications. However, performing them personally reduces the risk of a completely uncontrolled update process and makes it possible to detect anomalies during the maintenance.
The Managed WordPress Service costs 10 CHF per month in addition to the selected WordPress hosting package. This includes regular maintenance including updates of WordPress Core, plugins, and themes.
There are no additional or hidden costs for this maintenance. You are thus not only paying for an activated automatic update function, but for WordPress maintenance personally supervised by CURIAWEB.
Under normal conditions WordPress Hosting CURIAWEB provides the hosting infrastructure as well as the corresponding WordPress functions. However, you are responsible for the maintenance and updating of your WordPress installation yourself.
With managed WordPress hosting, personal WordPress maintenance is added: CURIAWEB takes care of regular updates for the WordPress core, plugins, and themes for you.
This makes Managed WordPress particularly suitable for businesses, freelancers, and website operators who want to use WordPress without having to continuously handle technical updates themselves.
