Nearly all website maintenance companies define “maintenance” as security reviews, plugin updates, page speed audits, and a basic update request or two per month. Hoot Host includes all of that plus: managed hosting, CRM and marketing software, blog publishing, marketing coordination, and more comprehensive month-to-month website improvements.
