Australian Based
Being Australian based means we are here when you need us. We do the work ourselves and do not outsource. We put your website into Amazon’s Australian datacenters. That costs more money for us, but it means better service for you.
Experienced
The WordPress Rescue team has managed hundreds of websites over the last 20 years and has seen almost everything the internet can throw at them. This experience means we have developed deep and detailed strategies for dealing with anything we encounter.
Skilled
The WordPress Rescue team has multiple Amazon Certifications and attends regular training for the tools we use. Internet threats keep getting more advanced, and the technology used to develop and host websites keeps getting more complex. It takes time to stay on top of it all but our results prove it is worth it.
Who Is WordPress Rescue?
WordPress Rescue was created by GMAC Internet Solutions. Over the past 20 years GMAC Internet Solutions has built both co-located and Amazon Web Services based website hosting platforms for themselves and several other Melbourne located businesses. This experience has resulted in a very finely tuned process for how to set up and host websites. GMAC Internet Solutions has also developed extremely comprehensive strategies for website backup & disaster recovery, continuation of business, and support & maintenance services.
GMAC Internet Solutions was originally focused on website development and contract software development, but the expertise and processes that they had built up proved extremely useful when encountering websites that needed rescuing. So Website Rescue was born. Decades of experience in managing website hosting for multiple companies combined with knowledge built up from developing and maintaining hundreds of websites are now available as one service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will Fixing My Website Take?
We can usually get started straight away, but how long depends on what kind of state your website is in. It will take longer if a hacker has been on your site for a long time or if we can not get access to admin, your current hosting or your DNS provider. You will always be kept up to date and can cancel at any time.
If your website is down right now then we will prioritise it to get it back up and running as soon as possible.
How much does this all cost?
Our website rescue service looks like it should cost a fortune but it does not! Fixing a site starts from $1000+GST, but will depend on getting access and what condition your website is in. After that, the Amazon Web Services hosting we move you to will cost between $30+GST and $40+GST per month (billed yearly) depending on how much RAM your site needs to run (the main factor being if your site uses Elementor, WP Bakery, Divi, etc).
When Do I Pay?
We are confident in our ability to rescue your website and make you happy so we only charge WHEN THE JOB IS COMPLETE. Yes, you read that correct. If at any point we are unable to rescue your website you will not be charged.
Can I Keep My Web Hosting At My Current Provider?
Let’s be honest, if that was a good solution then you would not be needing our service. Places like GoDaddy and Crazy Domains are ok for some services but their web hosting leaves a lot to be desired. Our Amazon Web Services hosting is fast and secure and that is what you need.
Why Do You Want Me To Move To Cloudflare?
We are amazed that anybody would NOT use Cloudflare! Especially I.T. companies!! Cloudflare is a replacement DNS services that provides security and a world-wide Content Delivery Network. Your website IP address is hidden from hackers. You get an SSL certificate included. Commonly accessed website files are automatically moved to over a hundred worldwide datacenters so everything is faster. You are protected from Denial Of Service attacks. There are so many reasons for Cloudflare, and zero against. We can even give your I.T. people access so they are never left out of the loop.
What if my I.T. Person/Company Won’t Move The DNS Servers To Cloudflare?
Your I.T. people are probably just being protective. They are no doubt used to dealing with web developers who don’t really know this stuff. Or they may just be concerned that they are being cut out of the loop. Neither is the case here. We’ve been doing this for a long time and are VERY good with DNS. In some rare cases we encounter I.T. people with very out of date knowledge about DNS and modern website security.
IF your I.T. people dig their heals in and refuse to let us help you then we may abandon the job and request you pay for time spent so far. We do not like doing this but let’s be honest if your current hosting and DNS setup was perfect then you would not be needing us in the first place.
We will work with your I.T. people as much as possible to make sure they are confident that nothing like email will break. It is all about communication and doing what is best for you.
Does This Also Work For Stores Like WooCommerce?
Yes! But on-line stores are a lot more complicated, and contain a lot of very important data, so expect the cost to fix your website to be a bit higher. We have a lot of experience with WooCommerce and have done some amazing things with it. We are also Shopify partners and may recommend moving there in some instances. We will always recommend what is best you you.
How Do We Get Started?
The first thing we will need is an admin login to your current website. We will log in and have a look for any red flags. After that, we will be able to confirm the price to you and give you a timeframe.
What Happens Next?
Our support does not end with a rescued site. We will monitor your site’s uptime, keep your plugins updated, regularly check for signs of hacking and malware, and send you a report each month letting you know that everything is ok.
Your yearly Amazon Web Services hosting fee includes 4 hours of maintenance that you can use at any time. For example, send us a page update and we can do it for you. It doesn’t sound like much but 4 hours goes a long way! If you want more assistance then you can buy another block of maintenance, as often as you need.
What If I Need A Total Redesign?
We can do that too. We will rescue the underlying database and files, and get you a shiny new website to put over top of it all. This will take a little bit longer, but the impact on how you and your site look will be enormous.


Let's Do This
Remember when you got your new website and it was fast? Remember When the admin wasn't full of alerts about plugin updates and PHP versions? Remember when everything just worked? That's how it should always be. WordPress Rescue makes it possible.
