I will update PHP and secure your wordpress server monthly
Robert Z.
About this gig
The 2 AM call always sounds the same: "My site is down and my customers are emailing me."
I already know the story before I read the logs: plugins untouched for two years, a PHP version that stopped receiving security patches, a backup that doesn't exist. WordPress runs ~43% of all websites, so bots sweep the web daily hunting outdated plugins and stale PHP most hacked sites trace back to exactly that, not master hackers. Google blacklists thousands of malware sites every day.
Monthly maintenance costs less than one cleanup. That's the plan I built.
I'm a US Army veteran sysadmin with 14 years of hands-on Linux experience. Every month: full snapshot, tested WordPress core/plugin/theme and PHP updates with rollback plan, PHP hardening, backups, plain-English report.
Standard & Premium add: caching (Redis, FastCGI), DB cleanup, Nginx/Apache tuning, security updates, WooCommerce, Multisite.
Stacks: Nginx, Apache, PHP-FPM 8.x, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis, cPanel, Plesk, Cloudflare, Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, FreeBSD.
Message me first with your URL free audit, honest scope. Se habla español.

I'm a US Army veteran with 14 years of corporate hands-on Linux & FreeBSD systems administration. I fix what's broken: crashed services, server security, botched PHP updates, broken migrations and I document everything I change so the problem stays fixed.
What I work with every day: RHEL, FreeBSD, Nginx, Docker, ZFS, pf, upgrades, WordPress, Laravel, hosting setup, hosting maintenance.
How I work: fast, in plain English or Spanish, never touching a system without a rollback plan. You get a root-cause report after every job, not just a "fixed it" message.
If I can't fix it, you don't pay.
FAQ
Will upgrading PHP break my site?
That's exactly what the Basic/Standard/Premium tiers handle — I test compatibility before cutting over and keep a rollback plan.
My host controls PHP version — can you still help?
Often yes (cli-level hardening, .user.ini, php-fpm pool settings); message me first with your host.
Will updating plugins break my site?
Not on my watch — every update cycle starts with a full backup and rollback snapshot, and I test the site after each round. If something breaks, I restore and fix it before you ever notice.
My site is on old PHP — can you upgrade it?
Yes — PHP 7.4/8.0 to 8.2/8.3 including php-fpm config, extension compatibility, and plugin testing. Old PHP is unpatched and hackable; upgrading is priority one.
Is this really monthly, or one time?
Monthly — a recurring care plan. Each 30-day cycle includes updates, backups, hardening, and a report. Cancel anytime; your site stays yours.
What if my site gets hacked while on your plan?
Hardened, patched servers rarely get hacked — but if one does, I restore your site from a clean backup at no charge, usually same day. Need a full forensic rebuild? Plan members get 25% off my emergency rescue service. Your backups exist precisely so a hack is an inconvenience, not a catastrophe.
