Question 1

What is a WordPress care plan?

Accepted Answer

A WordPress care plan is a monthly subscription that bundles managed hosting, backups every 5 hours, security monitoring, malware removal, WordPress core and plugin updates, and technical support into one plan. Also called WP care plans, WordPress website care plans, or WordPress maintenance plans, they keep your site secure, fast, and up to date without requiring in-house technical staff. Inspirable's WordPress care plan packages start at $49.99 per month.

Question 2

What is a WordPress security care plan?

Accepted Answer

A WordPress security care plan is an ongoing managed service focused on keeping a WordPress site secure: encrypted backups every 5 hours, malware scanning and removal, enterprise firewall and DDoS protection, security plugin and core updates, vulnerability monitoring, uptime checks, and incident response. Every Inspirable WordPress care plan tier includes a full security care plan as part of the monthly subscription — there is no separate security maintenance care plan to buy.

Question 3

Do you offer a WordPress care plan audit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every new Inspirable WordPress care plan begins with a 100+ point WordPress care plan audit covering security, performance, plugin health, backup status, uptime, malware scans, and SEO. We deliver the audit report within the first week and use it to prioritize hardening and optimization during onboarding. Existing customers can also request a standalone WordPress care plan audit at any time by contacting our team.

Question 4

What WordPress care plan packages does Inspirable offer?

Accepted Answer

Inspirable offers three WordPress care plan packages: Starter, Essential, and Professional. Each package is a complete WordPress website care plan that includes managed hosting, backups every 5 hours, security monitoring, malware removal, plugin and core updates, free SSL, CDN, uptime monitoring, and USA-based support. Essential and Professional packages add developer hours, weekly updates, performance reports, and priority support.

Question 5

How much do WordPress care plans cost?

Accepted Answer

Inspirable offers three WordPress care plan tiers: Starter at $49.99 per month, Essential at $79.99 per month, and Professional at $159.99 per month. Annual billing saves approximately 15%. Every plan includes managed hosting, encrypted backups every 5 hours, security scanning and malware removal, enterprise firewall and DDoS protection, global CDN, free SSL, uptime monitoring, and USA-based support.

Question 6

What is the difference between a WordPress care plan and a WordPress maintenance plan?

Accepted Answer

They are the same thing. WordPress care plans, WP care plans, WordPress maintenance plans, and WordPress support plans are all industry terms for an ongoing monthly service that keeps a WordPress site secure, updated, backed up, and supported. Inspirable uses 'care plan' as the primary term.

Question 7

What's included in every WordPress care plan?

Accepted Answer

Every Inspirable WordPress care plan includes managed WordPress hosting, encrypted backups every 5 hours with 30-day retention and one-click restore, security scanning and malware removal, enterprise firewall and DDoS protection, WordPress core, plugin and theme updates, uptime monitoring with 5-minute checks, global CDN, free SSL certificate management, and USA-based support. Essential and Professional tiers add weekly updates, performance reports, database optimization, developer hours, and priority support.

Question 8

Who are WordPress care plans for?

Accepted Answer

WordPress care plans are ideal for organizations that need their website professionally maintained but don't have in-house technical staff. Inspirable specializes in care plans for credit unions, tribal governments, government agencies, and nonprofits — organizations that need reliable hosting, proactive security, and responsive support from a team that understands their industry.

Question 9

What makes Inspirable different from other WordPress care plan providers?

Accepted Answer

Unlike most WordPress care plan providers — which are ticket- or email-only — Inspirable offers USA-based phone support on every plan, plus 24/7 monitoring and emergency response. Every plan includes enterprise-grade security, malware removal, DDoS protection, and (on Essential and Professional) unlimited content edits, all running on AMD EPYC 4545P Zen 5 hardware. Care plans also work with your existing host — migration is optional. We manage over 900 sites across 14 years, serving growing businesses as well as credit unions, tribal nations, and government agencies. And unlike maintenance-only providers, Inspirable is a full WordPress design and development agency — the same team that maintains your site can also redesign or build it.

Question 10

Do you offer phone support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Inspirable WordPress care plan includes USA-based phone support on every tier, including Starter. Most WordPress care plan providers are ticket- or email-only, so this is a key difference: with Inspirable you can call and reach a real person based in the United States. Plans also include 24/7 monitoring and US-based emergency support for urgent issues.

Question 11

Are content edits included in WordPress care plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Essential ($79.99/month) and Professional ($159.99/month) plans include unlimited content edits — small content and design changes such as text updates, image swaps, and layout tweaks — handled by our USA-based team. Larger development work is covered by monthly development time (1 hour on Essential, 2 hours on Professional), with additional hours available as needed.

Question 12

What hosting hardware do Inspirable WordPress care plans run on?

Accepted Answer

Every Inspirable WordPress care plan now runs on AMD EPYC 4545P processors built on the latest Zen 5 architecture (16 cores / 32 threads), with 192GB DDR5 ECC memory, 2x3.84TB enterprise NVMe SSD storage in software RAID-1, and 3 Gbps to 10 Gbps unmetered bandwidth. We recently upgraded our managed WordPress hosting to this hardware to dramatically improve Lighthouse performance scores and admin responsiveness. In the agentic era — where AI crawlers, agentic browsers, and modern users all penalize slow sites — website load speed is mandatory, not optional. Most WordPress care plan providers still run on previous-generation hardware. This upgrade is included in every Inspirable care plan tier at no additional cost.

Question 13

Do WordPress care plans include hosting? Do I have to switch hosts?

Accepted Answer

Every Inspirable WordPress care plan includes fully managed WordPress hosting on our AMD EPYC 4545P Zen 5 infrastructure at no extra cost — but migration is completely optional. You are welcome to keep your current hosting provider and still subscribe to any care plan tier. Care plans cover maintenance, security monitoring, malware removal, backups every 5 hours, updates, uptime monitoring, and USA-based support regardless of where your site is hosted. If you do choose to migrate, we handle the move at no additional charge and you gain the performance benefits of Zen 5 hardware, global CDN, free SSL, enterprise firewall, and DDoS mitigation.

Question 14

Can I upgrade my WordPress care plan later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade from Starter to Essential or Professional at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated for the remainder of your billing cycle. Contact our team to discuss which tier best fits your needs.

Question 15

Do you offer staging environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Professional care plan subscribers get a staging environment where we test WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates before applying them to your live site. This prevents update conflicts and downtime. Staging is also available for testing design changes and new functionality before going live.
