Frequently Asked Questions
Will our journal go offline during migration or upgrade?
We plan every migration and upgrade to minimize downtime, typically completing the switch during low-traffic hours with a full backup taken beforehand. In the rare case of an issue, we can roll back to the previous working version immediately.
What happens if our site goes down after setup?
Our 24/7 monitoring alerts us to downtime or performance issues as they happen, and our team responds promptly to restore service. Daily backups ensure your data can be recovered quickly if ever needed.
Do you provide ongoing support after the initial setup?
Yes, we offer ongoing maintenance and support plans covering security updates, plugin updates, and technical troubleshooting, so your journal's technical infrastructure stays reliable long after launch.
