Your site is running.
But is anyone watching what’s running underneath?
A WordPress site is not just content and design. Underneath, there’s a Linux server, Apache or Nginx, PHP, MySQL — and all of that needs to be kept up to date, backed up, and monitored. That’s exactly what web agencies don’t do.
Your agency delivered your site. They don’t maintain your server.
A web agency designs, develops, and sometimes maintains WordPress plugins and theme. But PHP updates, Apache configuration, server logs, system-level backups, infrastructure performance audits — that’s not their job. It’s ours.

Our MCO scope
What we maintain, concretely.
🐧 Linux Infrastructure
OS security updates, PHP upgrades (8.1 → 8.2 → 8.3), Apache or Nginx configuration, dependency management. We keep your server at a supported and secure level.
💾 Backups
Automated file and database backups, stored off-site away from the production server. Regular restore testing. Not a backup that sits untouched and unverified.
⚡ Performance audit
Server response time analysis, PHP cache configuration (OPcache), MySQL query optimisation, Apache parameter tuning. What Google PageSpeed won’t tell you.
🛡️ Security
SSL renewal, server configuration hardening, intrusion attempt monitoring in logs, blocking malicious IPs, removal of exposed files.
Who is this for?
For businesses that have a WordPress site on shared hosting or a VPS — OVH, Infomaniak, O2switch — and have no one to maintain the technical layer beneath WordPress. Often, their web agency delivered the site and now only handles content changes. The rest is left unattended.
We work on existing hosting environments, without necessarily changing your current configuration. We audit first, then propose.
Frequently asked questions
WordPress & Infrastructure MCO — what we’re asked
Doesn’t my hosting provider already handle these updates?
Partially. Shared hosting providers manage OS updates on their servers, but rarely the PHP version specific to your account, nor the Apache configuration that affects your site. On a VPS, you are entirely responsible for everything that happens inside. That’s where we come in.
Can a PHP update break my site?
Yes, if done without precaution. That’s why we always start with a compatibility audit — we verify that your WordPress version, theme, and plugins are compatible with the target version. We perform the update on a staging environment before switching to production. If something doesn’t work, we roll back immediately.
How frequently does a Linux server need maintenance?
Critical security updates must be applied within 72 hours of publication. Minor updates can be grouped into a monthly intervention. Major updates (PHP version change, distribution migration) are planned quarterly with prior testing. Without monitoring, a server that hasn’t been updated for 6 months is an easy target.
Do you work with all hosting providers?
On VPS and dedicated servers where you have SSH access, yes — OVH, Infomaniak, Ionos, Scaleway, Hetzner and others. On shared hosting, our scope is more limited and depends on the available access. We clarify this during the initial audit to define exactly what is feasible on your hosting environment.
