Care & Hosting Plan FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my site need regular updates for WordPress core, themes, and plugins?
Regular updates keep your site secure, fast, and compatible with the latest features. This means better site performance and SEO, a smoother experience for visitors, and fewer problems down the road. With our Core Care Plan, we take care of essential updates every 3 months. For even greater peace of mind, the Professional “Worry-Free Care” plan applies updates every week, keeping your site performing at its best while you focus on your business.
What payment methods do you accept?
All payments are handled securely through GoCardless. Payments are processed directly from your bank with lower fees and no hidden charges, and are covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee. For international clients, GoCardless uses Wise to offer excellent exchange rates and minimal transfer fees, so you’ll never overpay just to send money across borders. It’s a simple, secure, and fairer alternative to credit card payments.
Do the plans come with a domain name?
Your domain name is a unique and important part of your brand identity, and we believe it’s essential that it belongs to you.
Too often, businesses run into problems, or even lose access to their domain, because a developer or platform controls it. With certain subscription page builders, pricing is often higher than market rates and that may only become clear when renewal comes around.
With our hosting & site care plans, we will register your domain name — under your name, so it’s always yours — for the following:
- Domain name under £15 (many .co.uk domains will be) – FREE, 1 year
- Domain name over £15 – at market price.
After that, you’ll only ever pay the registrar’s standard renewal price, with zero markup. And if you’d prefer, you’re always welcome to register your own domain separately.
What does the site / database optimisation do?
Over time, your website’s database can get cluttered with old data, revisions, and unused files. This “bloat” can slow down your site, which in turn can harm your search engine ranking and frustrate your customers. The Professional plan’s monthly cleanup keeps your database lean and efficient, helping to give your audience the smooth experience they expect. Doing this regularly can make a big difference to your site’s performance, especially for bigger sites.
Where will my website be hosted?
Your website will be hosted on a private, dedicated VPS in a data centre located closest to most of your visitors. Having the server nearby helps your site load faster because data doesn’t have to travel as far. This means a faster loading, smoother experience for your audience, and even potentially a small boost for search engine rankings.
Cheap hosting is usually shared, meaning your website runs on the same server as hundreds or even thousands of others, all competing for the same limited resources. This can lead to slower performance during busy periods. Depending on the host’s security setup, shared environments can also increase your exposure if another site on the server is compromised. With SCHO Digital, your site runs on its own dedicated server resources, providing a faster, more secure foundation for your business online.
