Your site was delivered, it works, and you stop thinking about it. That's when the trouble starts, quietly.
A website runs on software
Behind your pages there is software, and it changes: its makers fix flaws and drop old versions. A site that's never updated falls further and further behind.
The security risk
The flaws in old versions are public, and bots crawl the web constantly looking for them. They aren't targeting your business in particular: they try everywhere. A hacked site can show strange pages, send spam or expose your customers' data.
The site becomes impossible to change
The longer you wait, the more it costs to catch up. One day, a small request becomes a big job, and sometimes the only option left is to start again.
Why it happens so often
Updates aren't always in the contract. The provider delivered what was agreed, the client thinks it's being looked after, and nobody does it.
Questions to ask
- Who updates my site, and how often?
- Is it included in the price, and until when?
- What happens if there's a flaw or an outage?
- Who do I contact, and how?
At iGot-Web, hosting and updates are always included: your site stays up to date and secure, and you have nothing to keep an eye on.
