WordPress maintenance service, run by real people

Done-for-you WordPress maintenance

Revive Guard is a done-for-you WordPress maintenance service, not a plugin you manage yourself. A real person reviews your site first. After that, we handle monitoring, backups, updates and recovery, and you read one plain-language report a month.

Why a service, not a plugin

Start with the risk, not the feature list.

A plugin gives you tools and leaves the responsibility with you. Revive Guard is a team doing the work: updates, verified backups, response when something breaks, and a monthly report.

Monitor · $49/mo

I need to know when something’s wrong.

Portfolio and brochure sites. We watch uptime, SSL, domain, and keep an off-host backup. You stay informed; we don’t yet maintain WordPress for you.

Guard · $99/mo · most choose this

My site brings in business. Handle it.

WordPress sites that sell or book work. Updates, malware scans, longer backups, and same-day restore when something breaks.

Shield · $179/mo

Downtime costs real money. I need a guarantee.

Revenue-critical sites. Daily backups, written 4-hour restore SLA, dedicated manager, and priority support without limits.

Before you choose

What to compare in any WordPress care plan

Two plans at the same price can include very different amounts of a person’s attention. Ask every provider these six questions, including us. Here is how we answer them.

Who reviews the work?

A person or a script? A real person reviews your site before you join. After that, our team runs your updates and responds when something breaks.

Every plan starts with a human review

What if an update breaks something?

We take a fresh snapshot before every change and roll back automatically if an update breaks something. Every rollback shows up in your activity log.

Guard · Shield

Where do backups live, and for how long?

They’re encrypted and stored off your host. Monitor keeps them 30 days, Guard 90 days with point-in-time restore, and Shield takes daily backups kept 180 days.

All plans

What are the restore terms?

Monitor: a one-time $99 restore, with no SLA. Guard: priority restore from a clean backup, typically same-day. Shield: a written 4-hour emergency restore SLA.

In writing on Shield

How often is it scanned for malware?

Weekly on Guard and Shield. Monitor doesn’t include malware scanning. Cleanup is available as a $149 one-time add-on.

Guard · Shield

How do you leave?

Month-to-month, with no setup fee and no cancellation fee, plus a 7-day money-back guarantee when you start.

How it works

From request to protected in three steps.

Request a free evaluation

Submit your URL and your biggest concern.

~2 minutes

We review by hand

Theme, plugins, hosting setup, SSL, domain expiry and known vulnerabilities. You get an honest write-up: what’s at risk, what we’d do, which plan fits. No sales call required.

Within 48 hours

Accept and you’re protected

Your invite activates your private portal; install the lightweight plugin and monitoring starts immediately. Your first backup runs overnight.

Under 10 minutes to fully onboard

When something breaks: monitoring flags two consecutive failed checks, you’re alerted by email once we confirm it’s not a false positive, we restore from the most recent clean backup, and you receive a plain-language account of what happened and what we changed.How it works in detail →
Safe updates

Snapshot + rollback, not staging.

Many maintenance services advertise staging. Our live update safety on Guard and Shield is different: a fresh snapshot before every change and auto-rollback if an update breaks something. Every rollback appears in your activity log, and updates we hold back are reported in your monthly report.

Revive Guard does not claim a staging environment. If your host already provides staging, tell us in the evaluation.

Revive Guard (Guard, Shield)

  • ✓ Fresh snapshot before every change
  • ✓ Auto-rollback if an update breaks something
  • ✓ Every rollback in your activity log
  • ✓ Held-back updates in your monthly report
What you get

A verified recovery point and a short rollback instead of a rebuild.

Your options

Maintenance plan vs managed hosting vs DIY

They overlap, but they aren’t the same job. Check what your host already covers before you pay twice.

Managed WordPress hosting

Coverage depends on the host. Many handle the server and platform side. Plugin and theme updates, checking the site afterward, and owning the fix often stay with you, so ask your host exactly what they cover.

Varies by host

DIY with plugins

The tools are cheap or free, but the responsibility stays with you: the update schedule, restorable backups, renewals and the response when something fails.

Your time, your responsibility

Revive Guard maintenance

We do the work and take the responsibility: monitoring, off-host backups, weekly updates with snapshot and rollback, malware scans, and a monthly plain-language report. We don’t sell hosting; your site stays where it is.

Done for you

Honest fit

Who it’s for, and who it isn’t.

A good fit if

  • ✓ Your WordPress site sells or books work and you’d rather hand off the responsibility than manage a plugin dashboard (Guard).
  • ✓ Downtime costs you real money and you want a written restore commitment (Shield).
  • ✓ You run a portfolio or brochure site and mainly need to know the moment something’s wrong (Monitor).
  • ✓ You manage several sites and want them in one portal.

Probably not a fit if

  • × You want a tool to run updates yourself. A maintenance plugin is cheaper; we’re paying-for-responsibility, not software.
  • × You need a staging environment as part of the service (we use snapshot + rollback).
  • × You need large ongoing development or redesign work. Shield includes 2 hrs content edits/month; extra edits are $65/hr.

Not every site is accepted: we onboard a maximum of 26 new clients per month so every setup is done properly.

FAQ

WordPress maintenance questions, answered.

With Revive Guard: uptime/SSL/domain monitoring, off-host backups, and a monthly report on every plan; Guard and Shield add weekly core, plugin and theme updates with a snapshot and auto-rollback, weekly malware scans and human support. See plans.

Monitor is $49/mo, Guard $99/mo, Shield $179/mo. No setup fee; the monthly price is the whole price unless you add optional services. For how that compares with the wider market, see our WordPress maintenance cost guide.

Because it isn’t one. A plugin gives you tools and leaves the responsibility with you. Revive Guard is a team doing the work: updates, verified backups, response when something breaks, and a monthly report.

No. Guard and Shield take a snapshot before every change and roll back automatically if an update breaks something.

Monitor: immediate alert, with a one-time restore available for $99 (no SLA). Guard: priority restore from a clean backup, typically same-day. Shield: restored within 4 hours of your report, in writing.

Not a full one. Monitor watches uptime, SSL and domain expiry and keeps weekly off-host backups, but it doesn’t update WordPress or scan for malware. If your site brings in business, Guard is the sensible minimum.

Yes. Additional sites are +$29/mo on Monitor, +$49/mo on Guard and +$59/mo on Shield, and Shield includes up to 3 websites. Every site sits in one portal. Mention multi-site in your evaluation and we’ll propose the most economical structure honestly.

Yes. Month-to-month, no annual contract, no cancellation fee, plus a 7-day money-back guarantee when you start. You can switch plans anytime; backups and history stay intact.
