And every build, migration, or custom job in between — handled by a senior engineer who answers you directly.
Hacked, white-screened, broken by an update, database damage, locked out, spam pages. If yours needs more than the starting fee, you see the number in writing first.
Pick the one that sounds like you.
White screen, checkout dead, a Google warning, locked out of wp-admin — and every hour it stays that way costs you.
You’d rather run your business than babysit plugins. Right now, you only hear about the site when something’s wrong.
A store that misbehaves, a feature your plugins can’t do, a move to a better host, a redesign — or the plumbing behind the site that nobody understands.
Hackers get in. They add spam, send visitors to scam sites, or steal card numbers.
Safety fixes within 2 days. A firewall blocks attacks.
Weeks later, Google puts a red warning on your site. It can stay for days after the fix.
A hack scan every day. We know on day one.
A customer tells you on Monday. The weekend’s sales went to someone else.
We check your site every minute.
When you need one, there’s nothing to go back to.
A backup every day, kept in a separate, safe place.
These all start small and quiet. That’s the cheapest time to stop them.

Whatever breaks, whenever it breaks — handled, and already paid for.
For sites the business can’t run without — an hour down has a dollar figure.
Each plan covers one site. Second and later sites: half price — whatever mix of plans they’re on. Doesn’t fit a card? A large network, unusual hosting, or a mix of sites with different needs → we scope it individually.
Tell us what’s going onIf we can’t recover your site, you pay nothing.
emergenciesSame infection comes back within 30 days — we clean it again, free.
emergenciesOn our Growth and Premium plans, if the site is hacked while we look after it, the cleanup costs you nothing.
care plansNo contract, no notice period. We’d rather earn every month than lock you in.
care plansIf the first month isn’t what you expected, we refund it and hand everything back.
care plansThe site, the database, and every login belong to you. Ask any time and we hand it all over.
alwaysFour steps. The last one is a written summary like this one — you get it after every engagement.
Someone got in through an outdated plugin and redirected checkout.
A hidden admin account and injected code.
Removed both, updated the plugin, reset every password.
Turn on two-step login for admins.
| Your host’s support | A typical maintenance service | WP Pirates | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who answers | A ticket queue and a script — hours to days. | Whoever picks up the ticket — “24/7” on the page, “reasonable efforts” in the terms. | A senior engineer who knows your site. 2-hour reply, 9am–5pm Pacific, every day. |
| Scope | Server-level only — “your code is your problem.” | Content edits and settings — custom code excluded. | Your whole site, custom code included — your stack, our problem. |
| Updates | Auto-updates that break themes silently. | Tested on a copy of the site — top plan only. | Backed up first on every plan, and tested on a copy on two of the three. |
| If it gets hacked | “Restore a snapshot and good luck.” | Cleanup only on the higher plans. | On our Growth and Premium plans, the cleanup is on us. |
| Changes | Not their problem. | Edits in a queue, a two-day turnaround, custom code excluded. | Unlimited content edits, free on every plan, plus design and dev hours on our Growth and Premium plans, custom code included. |
| Commitment | Tied to their servers. | Non-refundable, auto-renews. | Month-to-month, first month refundable. Your site is always yours. |
I started WP Pirates because too many small businesses were getting burned by hosting companies that don’t actually fix problems and freelance dev shops that disappear when you need them. We run your WordPress site like it’s our own — because if it’s down, your business stops.
“Andrew is fantastic! He had a clear and effective plan to resolve our challenges promptly. His communication throughout the project was exceptional, and his expertise is truly amazing. We're confident we'll be working with Andrew for a long time to come.”

Everything outside a plan or an emergency is a project: one written scope, one fixed price. See what each one covers →
What a project usually looks like: most of what we quote is a few hours to a couple of weeks of work, and rebuilds run longer. Whatever it is, you get one written scope and one fixed price before anything starts.
Not on the list? Describe it in your own words. You’ll get a plain-English recommendation and a fixed quote within one business day.
