Using my hosting is not mandatory for clients but is highly recommended because of the importance of security, optimization, updates, backups, support, speed, etc.

That said, if you choose to forego my hosting plan, you’re welcome to do so at your discretion. You will, in that case, assume complete responsibility for the hosting updates, security, backups, and other services laid out in this plan by reviewing my LIABILITY CLAUSE that releases Real Avenue Design from any involvement if and when the website is breached, hacked or performs slowly because of the lack of proper optimization.

I’ll clean and restore the site for a cleanup fee starting at $397. I’d then strongly recommend that you enroll in the maintenance plan immediately to make sure it remains clean and protected from malware and hackers.

Yes, but with strict conditions. I take security very seriously and I scrutinize every outside site before adding it to my hosting plan. I charge a security scan fee starting at $247 per site to do my scans and it doesn't guarantee you'll be accepted (in case the scans find a problem).

There is no cost to leave.

My hosting plans are billed annually and can be discontinued after the contract is up.

Absolutely. In fact, I encourage it so you get the best security and optimization available. These combo plans give you a "hands-off" website experience if you are non-techy, don't have the time, or lack the expertise to keep your site up yourself.
