As WordPress is open source, the source code for past and present WordPress versions are available online.  While this is generally a good thing, it could also be bad.  Hackers use this repository to look for exploits and then search for websites still using that WordPress version and try to gain access to your website.  As each of these vulnerabilities are discovered  they are generally patched in the next version.  This is why it is so important to keep your WordPress version current.

WordPress versions 2.7 and above include an Automatic Update feature however, as the upgrade process will affect all files and folders included in the main WordPress installation, several steps should be followed prior to proceeding with the automatic update.  A complete list of these and the process can be located here.

With WordPress Update from Vriends Hosting, your WordPress installation will be monitored for core and plugin updates.  Automatically a quarterly support ticket will be opened to schedule the installation of these updates.  Our team will ensure that the complete process for updating your WordPress installation and plugins are followed, and that your website can be rolled back in case incompatibilities are discovered.  The whole update process is hands off and worry free for you the customer.

Only $29.99 per year (updates installed quarterly).
