Managed WordPress Security — Saratoga Springs, NY
Your website, protected and watched before something goes wrong.
Most small business sites get hacked through outdated plugins and weak logins. Our security plans close those gaps, monitor your site 24/7, and clean it up if anything gets through.
Two plans: Watchtower at $99/mo for most business sites, and Fortress at $199/mo for stores and sites that can’t afford downtime.
Fortress
Why it matters
Hackers don’t pick targets. They pick openings.
Bots scan millions of WordPress sites every day, looking for one old plugin or one reused password. A hacked site can mean lost leads, a Google warning screen, and days of downtime. A managed website security plan costs less than one bad week.

The details
How coverage works.
No fine print surprises. These are the few things that keep your protection working.
-
Security plans require Five Towers hosting. We can’t protect a server we don’t control.
-
Coverage starts once your site is clean. Infected sites begin with a one-time onboarding cleanup.
-
A few simple security habits keep your coverage active.
-
Support hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern.
-
Full terms are in your Hosting Agreement.
Choosing a package
Which package is right for my business?
Both plans protect your site. The right one depends on what your site does for your business.
Watchtower
Choose Watchtower if your site is mainly a brochure or lead-generation site. You get a firewall, malware scanning, weekly offsite backups, and 24/7 uptime monitoring, all handled by people who know WordPress.
Fortress
Choose Fortress if your site takes orders, bookings, or steady form entries, or if downtime costs you money. A second firewall stops attacks early. Daily database backups mean a recent order or form entry is less likely to be lost.

If an infection begins while your site is enrolled and hosted on Five Towers servers, we return it to a clean, working state by removing the malware or restoring the latest clean backup. Watchtower includes one cleanup per year. Additional cleanups cost $295 each. Fortress includes cleanup with no annual limit. Cleanup doesn’t include rebuilding lost content or transactions, or blacklist removal beyond submitting review requests.
Yes. Sites that are infected at enrollment start with a one-time onboarding cleanup of $395. Once the site is clean, your plan coverage begins.
Cleanup means returning your site to a clean, working state, either by removing the malware or restoring the latest clean backup. It covers infections that begin while your site is enrolled in a security plan and hosted on Five Towers servers. Sites that are already infected at enrollment need a one-time onboarding cleanup of $395 first. Watchtower includes one cleanup per year, with additional cleanups at $295 each. Fortress has no annual limit. Cleanup doesn’t include rebuilding lost content or transactions, or blacklist removal beyond submitting review requests.
Watchtower includes weekly offsite backups kept for 30 days. Fortress includes daily database backups, covering posts, orders and form entries, plus weekly full-site backups, all kept for 30 days.
Backups cover up to 10 GB of storage space. Larger sites can get a custom backup plan.
Fortress includes priority support: same business day response for site emergencies and 1 business day for everything else, during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM ET). Emergency requests after 3 PM get a response by 10 AM the next business day. A response means we’ve acknowledged the issue with a plan or timeline, not a guarantee of resolution within that time.
A site emergency means your website is offline or unreachable, checkout or a primary contact form isn’t working, or the site shows signs of an active compromise. Fortress clients get a same-business-day response for emergencies reported before 3 PM.
Security only works if the basics stay in place. Keep two-factor login turned on, give everyone their own admin login instead of sharing one, and don’t install plugins or themes we’ve flagged as a security risk. If cleanup is needed because one of these wasn’t followed, or the same problem comes back without being fixed, that cleanup is billed at our standard hourly rate.
For Fortress priority support, a site emergency means:
- The website is offline or unreachable
- Checkout or a primary contact form isn’t working
- The site shows signs of an active compromise
Business hours are Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM ET. Emergency requests received after 3 PM get a response by 10 AM the next business day. A “response” means we’ve acknowledged the issue and given you a plan or timeline. It is not a guarantee that the issue is resolved within that window.
Keep two-factor login turned on, don’t share admin accounts, and don’t use plugins we’ve flagged as a security risk. These basics are required for cleanup coverage.
Yes. Security plans run on Five Towers servers, so we control everything from the server to the firewall.
