SircleCare
A site that stays safe, fast and up to date.
Every Sircle Agency site runs on SircleCare. Hosting, domain, backups, security, updates, paid licences and an hour of support a month. From €74 a month.
What's included?
Everything your website needs
Everything a site needs to keep running, in one amount a month.
Hosting and domain
European servers with SSL, CDN and HTTP/3. Your domain name registration is included.
Security in layers
Firewall, malware scans, brute-force protection, security checks and automatic SSL renewal.
Daily backups
Automatic, stored off the server. If something goes wrong, we restore it.
Updates and uptime
WordPress, theme and plugins kept up to date, tested first. We watch the site day and night.
Paid licences
The software on your site, from analytics to forms and SEO. We pay, you use it.
An hour of support a month
For questions and small changes. Direct contact with the team that built your site.
Not an option
Part of every site we build
A site isn't finished once it goes live. It runs on a server, uses licensed software and needs updates every week. That's why every Sircle Agency site goes live on SircleCare.
- 01Built on our environment
Your site is made for our server and our software. That's where it's fast and secure, and that's where we stand behind it.
- 02The licences run through us
Bought separately, the software on a site easily costs €500 to €1,000 a year. In SircleCare it's included.
- 03One point of contact
If something goes wrong, you call us. Not a hosting company that answers through a chat window.
Included software
We pay the licences
Every site runs on paid software. Add the licences up and you're quickly at €500 to €1,000 a year, per site. In SircleCare they're included.
Which software runs on your site depends on what's built on it. That's in the quote.
Why maintenance?
What if you do nothing?
A site without maintenance goes wrong sooner or later.
- Hacked. Outdated plugins are the number one cause of hacked sites.
- Slow. Without optimisation your speed drops, and your conversion and Google ranking with it.
- Lost. Without backups, one crash can wipe everything: content, structure, rankings.
- Unsafe. An expired SSL certificate literally tells visitors “not secure”.
- Spam. Without SPF, DKIM and DMARC, your own mail lands in your clients' spam folder.
- Your problem. Without a maintenance partner, every problem is on you, and you pay all the licences yourself.

Is SircleCare required with a Sircle Agency site?
Yes. Every site we build goes live on SircleCare. The site runs on our server, with software we pay the licences for, and we keep it secure and up to date. Without SircleCare the site doesn't work the way it was built.
What's in SircleCare?
Hosting, registration of your domain name, daily backups, a firewall and malware scans, security checks, uptime monitoring, tested updates of WordPress, theme and plugins, the licences for the paid software on your site and an hour of support a month for anything around your site. SircleCare is for brochure sites of up to 20 or 30 pages; large sites with a web shop, booking system or database run on SirclePLUS.
Which paid software is included?
Among others Bricks or Divi, Gravity Forms, an SMTP service for the mail your site sends, Fathom Analytics, WP Rocket, Rank Math SEO and Bit Integrations. Bought separately, the licences easily add up to 500 to 1,000 euros a year, per site. Which ones run on your site depends on what's built on it.
Can I keep my own hosting?
Not with a site we build. Speed, security and the licences depend on our environment, and that's the only place we can stand behind them. For a site built by another agency, we first look at what's possible with an audit.
Is business email included?
In SirclePLUS it is: up to 2 users with up to 10 GB each, with sender protection (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). With SircleCare we arrange mail on request, or connect your domain to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
What happens to support time I don't use?
It expires at the end of the month. If more time is needed, you get an estimate first and we only start after you approve it.
Are there setup costs?
No. For a site we build, we set up SircleCare free of charge when it goes live.
Can I cancel?
Monthly, with sixty days' notice. If you leave, we hand over the site and the files properly; the licences for our software don't go with it.
Never think about your website again
If we build your site, SircleCare comes with it.
If your site runs elsewhere, we start with an audit.
