Standard host providers do not automatically upgrade third party programs like WordPress.
By hosting your site with Artbiz your site will be automatically upgraded when new program releases become available. This includes:

  • Core Updates are major application updates to WordPress. Often these upgrades are security upgrades and are important to maintain. Artbiz ensures that the core updates are compatible with each and every one of the plugins. If a plugin needs to be replaced we will do that and provide you with the details.
  • Plugin Updates are things like your Contact form, SEO (important for your sites rankings in Google etc), Gallery etc. From time to time the developers of these plugins provide updates that increase functionality, fix bugs and enhance security. While these appear to be simple updates Artbiz still tests them to ensure they still do what they say they will.
  • Free Support for the life of your hosting.

Your website Hosting is $9.95 CND monthly  paid annually.

Disclosure

These hosting companies provide exceptional service. I have worked on their servers and know their quality that is why I have chosen to become an affiliate.  If you sign up with one of these host providers by clicking the link on this page they may pay me a small fee.  I have client sites and my sites existing with these providers and have been extremely satisfied with the level of service and support. I don’t recommend just anybody.
