It’s definitely recommended! But… If you’re sending through updates for your website such as content changes or adding images on a monthly or say weekly basis, you don’t really need to be on a ‘Care + Secure’ plan. Reason being, if we’re working on your website every month you can be assured that your tools and software are up to date. You’ll also be added to our monitoring software for free as it makes it so much easier to maintain and manage website updates on our side if you’re part of our program.

Again… the short answer… Yes. Why? Technology and software is on an ever increasing updateathon! Yep, not a ‘real’ word but it gives you an idea about how frequent these are in todays internet world. As new changes and updates are made to said software everyone across the board has to make changes to be compatible with other software. This is pretty much an ongoing saga. Incompatibility on individual items of software can cause conflicts leading to website server downtime.

With online stores, in most cases the store is processing orders on a daily basis. If there was an error on site or a case where the site crashed and a reinstall to the most recent backup was needed, any orders, data or changes to the store would be lost in the backup restore. As an example, if your last backup was say 3 weeks prior all orders would be lost and they would need to be re-entered manually. A daily backup solution could save you literally hours of frustration entering orders.

This would also be relevant to a website that has recent updates like a weekly or daily Blog. 

The short answer… Yes. Why? Your website is run by some pretty cool software, this software will, over time, have updates available. Leaving these tools not up to date can cause issues in the way your website runs and if left for too long, can open doorways for hackers to break in. This of course is the worst case scenario.
