Reliable hosting keeps your WordPress website online. Ongoing maintenance, security, backups and access to a real person help keep it useful.
Menu Surgeon provides WordPress hosting with routine website changes and continuing support for $45 per month, per website.
Every website needs a server where its files can be stored and delivered to visitors. But keeping a business website useful involves more than making sure the server is running.
WordPress software changes. Security threats evolve. Photographs, prices, hours, services, menus and other business information need to be updated. Occasionally, something breaks.
That is why Menu Surgeon hosting combines the technical services your website needs with ongoing support from someone familiar with your website and your business.
One of the most common frustrations small-business owners have with website companies is not the technology. It is getting help when they actually need it. Menu Surgeon is not interested in disappearing after your website launches.
When you have a question or need a routine change, you are dealing with a real person who knows your website and understands your business.
The hosting plan is designed to cover the continuing services most small-business WordPress websites need without requiring a separate charge every time routine information changes.
Hosting for one WordPress website, with unlimited storage and unlimited monthly visits under the current hosting plan.
Continuing WordPress maintenance and routine attention to help keep the website functioning properly.
Updates to existing website content—including hours, text, photographs, menu prices and similar routine information—are included.
Website backup protection and 1-Click Restore help preserve the site and provides a recovery option if something goes wrong.
Daily malware scanning, malware removal and hack repair are included with the hosting plan.
The plan includes an SSL certificate, a staging website for testing changes and an SEO optimizer.
No hosting provider can promise that a website will never experience a problem. The important question is what protection and recovery resources are available when something happens.
Most day-to-day content changes are included with hosting. Larger additions that require new design, development or functionality are handled as separate projects.
Examples of routine changes include:
Major new development or functionality starts at $150 and is quoted according to the scope of the work.
We will explain the scope and price before beginning separately billed development.
WordPress websites can usually be moved from one hosting provider to another without rebuilding the entire website.
If someone else designed your current WordPress site, Menu Surgeon can review it and determine whether it can be migrated to our hosting service.
Before recommending a move, we’ll examine the website’s condition, software, access requirements and any technical issues that could affect the migration.
Hosting includes the SSL certificate, backups and security features described on this page. Menu Surgeon also offers separate website products and services for businesses that have needs beyond what the hosting plan provides.
We’ll clearly explain when a separate service is necessary and when it is already included with your hosting plan.
One monthly price covers your WordPress hosting, routine website changes, maintenance and the included protection and support described on this page.
Menu Surgeon’s WordPress hosting plan is designed for small businesses that want dependable hosting without being left alone to manage every update, backup or technical problem.

Can you host a website that another company designed?
In many cases, yes, provided the website was built with WordPress and we can obtain the access needed to review and migrate it. The condition and configuration of the website may affect whether migration is practical.

Routine changes include updates to existing content such as hours, text, photographs, menu prices, contact information and similar information within the website’s current structure.

New pages, major redesigns, e-commerce, custom functionality, large content additions and other work that substantially changes the website are considered new development. Major new development starts at $150 and is quoted according to scope.
Is an SSL certificate included?
Yes. An SSL certificate is included with every Menu Surgeon WordPress hosting account and is maintained as part of the hosting service.
What happens if the website is hacked?

Do you make website backups?
Yes. Website backup protection and one-click restoration are included with the hosting plan.
Can changes be tested before they appear on the live website?
The hosting plan includes a staging website that can be used to test appropriate changes before they are applied to the live site.
Can I move my website somewhere else later?
WordPress is portable and can generally be moved between compatible hosting providers. Domain, website and account access should always be properly documented before any transfer.
Whether Menu Surgeon built your website or someone else did, we can review your current WordPress site and help determine whether our hosting and maintenance service is the right fit.
