Creative Technology Services
I keep WordPress sites clean, locked, and online — so you can sleep.
If the site is the business, you should not be the night-shift security guard. I rescue compromised WordPress, lock the dashboard so it cannot install its own surprises, host the sites I am willing to stand behind, and write the small plugins operators actually need.
Proof
This site, this month
In August, five casino and SEO-spam posts went live on this site. The same stolen-admin door dropped fake plugins on other WordPress I host. I pulled the spam, quarantined the malware, rotated credentials, froze file edits from the dashboard, banned the attackers, and took leftover dead domains offline so they were not more surface. The sites stayed up. That is the work.
Plugins I write and leave on the box
Track Generator never phones home. Serial lookup is a demo of the same kind of tool. I build the plugin, I host it, I can read every line.
Same person who writes the code owns the server
Backups, updates, mail, and knowing when a leftover vhost is just attack surface. Creative Technology Services started in 2011. I am still the one on the box.
What it costs
Ongoing WordPress care — backups, updates, security — starts at $50 a month, $270 for six months, or $500 a year. Rescue work and custom plugins are quoted after I look at the site. If you want someone to redesign the homepage first, I am not that person.
About
Randell Miller learned to program as a teenager on an Atari 800 and took his first IT job at Micro Center at 20. Hardware repair, network administration, databases, systems work, and a lot of WordPress came after. He started Creative Technology Services in November 2011 in Elko, Nevada, and he is still the person on the server. He is a web developer, not a designer. He takes fewer clients now, on purpose: operators who want the site to stay theirs, and people who would rather sleep than log in at 2 a.m. If that is you, say hello.
