Hosting and care
Two different jobs. A site we built runs on managed edge hosting with no server to patch. A site someone else built, usually WordPress, gets the work a site needs every month and almost never gets: updates applied, security watched, speed measured, backups kept, and forms that actually reach you.

Fusion Payments — Two offers
edge:
A site we built compiles to static files and is served from a global edge network, so there is no server to patch and no origin to fail.
care:
A site someone else built, usually WordPress, stays where it is hosted and gets the monthly work listed below.
What care includes
Each line below is work we have done on the WordPress sites in our care this autumn.
Core, theme and plugin updates are applied on a schedule, and each one is read before it is applied.
updates: core · theme · plugins · read before applied
A firewall and lockout rules guard the site, the login page is protected and XML-RPC is closed. After a scare the salts and sessions are rotated, and the site is scanned after every incident.
security: firewall · lockout rules · login protected · XML-RPC closed
Pages are cached at the edge, images lazy-load, and the heavy plugins are taken out, with the site measured before and after.
speed: edge page cache · lazy images · measured before and after
The site is backed up nightly, each backup is kept thirty days, and the restore is rehearsed.
backups: nightly · kept thirty days · restore rehearsed
Every form is tested to a real inbox, and the spam gate is kept current.
forms: tested to a real inbox · spam gate current
SPF, DKIM and DMARC are set so the mail the site sends lands in the inbox.
dns: SPF · DKIM · DMARC
You call, we answer, and we know the site.

Fusion Payments — Questions on the record
Yes. The first month is the setup: we get the logins and hosting access, take a full backup before we touch anything, audit the updates, security, speed, forms and mail records, and give you the list of fixes in plain words. After that the site goes on the monthly rhythm of updates read and applied, scans, backups kept and forms tested.
No. Care runs where the site already lives. Moving the site to our edge hosting is offered when it pays for itself in speed or upkeep, and only after we have looked at the site.
We take anything harmful off the public site first, keep a copy for the record, and find how they got in. Then we clean the site or restore it from a backup taken before the break-in, change every password, key, salt and session, apply the missing updates, and scan it again before it goes back up. You get a plain account of what we found and what we changed. We cannot promise what an attacker did before we were called; we can tell you what we find.
Managed edge hosting: the release pipeline, TLS certificates, global edge serving, and the releases that keep the site current — run by the team that built the site, under the plan agreed at build time. Not a shared hosting box someone else rents.

It depends on the site and what it needs each month. We look first and then a person gives you a number; the first look is free.
