Unexplained Outages
The site goes down, nobody can say why, and the host answers by email in two business days.
Managed hosting with a global CDN, hardened security, daily backups, proactive patching, uptime monitoring, and a named person to call when something needs attention.
Good hosting is invisible. You notice it exactly once, on the day something goes wrong and it turns out there was a tested backup and someone already on it.
Orka Digital has built and maintained websites for Australian businesses since 2009, and hosts sites on infrastructure we monitor and update ourselves, working from St Marys in Western Sydney.

Three signs this is the right conversation to be having.
The site goes down, nobody can say why, and the host answers by email in two business days.
The design is optimised but time to first byte is high, so every page starts on the back foot.
Core, theme, and plugin updates are applied whenever someone remembers, and backups are untested.
The work itself, written down: what you receive and what each part includes.

Isolated, right-sized environments tuned for your CMS rather than crowded shared hosting.
What's included
Three commitments that shape how we deliver this work.
Every update is tried on a staging copy before it touches your live site.
Learn moreBackups are stored off-site and restores are tested, so recovery works when you need it.
Learn moreThe team that hosts your site can also fix it, so problems are not passed between providers.
Learn moreEach stage produces something you can review, so nothing moves forward without your agreement.
Review the current stack, traffic profile, integrations, and any inherited technical debt.
Move with a rehearsal, a cutover window, and DNS handled so visitors never notice.
Apply security, caching, backup, and monitoring configuration to a documented standard.
Patch on a schedule, watch the alerts, and report monthly on uptime and performance.
A monthly report covers uptime, updates, backups and anything we fixed.
We agree up front how the work will be judged, then report against it.
Share of time the site was available, from independent monitoring.
How quickly the server starts sending each page.
Successful off-site backups and test restores.
Core, plugin and server updates tested and installed.

Core, theme, and plugin updates on staging, security monitoring, backup verification, uptime reporting, and a small allowance of support time.
