FAQ

No. The most expensive websites are automatically assigned to bundles, and the algorithm makes sure that the monthly bill is as low as possible.

When you commit to a bundle, it’s active for the whole month. If you cancel a bundle, it will deactivate at the end of the month. This also means that it’s applied retroactively: you can turn on a bundle on the 29th of the month, and it will be effective for the whole month.

They are a great way to keep your cost down if you’ve got 25+ websites. Instead of paying per site, you’ll reserve a bundle that lets you use a premium add-on for up to a 100 websites, for a fixed price.

The bundles stack, so you can take as many bundles as you need.

Since 2001 electronic services have been subject to VAT in Norway when supplied from vendors established in Norway. Since July 1st, 2011 the Norwegian Parliament passed the bill that imposes a 25% VAT to all foreign electronic services bought by Norwegian residents.

Our EU VAT ID falls under the special Non-Union scheme since we are a US entity and cannot register for VAT under the Union scheme. There is no website where Non-Union VAT IDs could be validated at the moment, and that is why our VAT ID is not showing in VIES.

ManageWP Classic and Orion are two separate dashboards, we are mirroring your websites and information about available updates and cleanups. For updates to be shown in Client Report, you would have to do them directly in Orion. Backups are also not connected and you will have to set new backups in Orion.

The backups are scheduled and triggered according to the timezone that is set for your account. The timezone could be changed under Settings > General section.

You can do that on the single website backup screen under “Backup Settings”.

To add bulk websites to ManageWP using the import file, you need to make sure that you’re formatting the CSV file in the following way:

http://www.example.com,username,password

If you create a CSV spreadsheet, you need to use rows to separate websites. You can either put information about the website in the same column following the order above (each website needs to be in the new row), or you should use the first column for a website URL, the second for username and the third one for the password. For the URL you can either write:

• http://www.example.com
• https://www.example.com
• www.example.com
• example.com

All of the URL formats are accepted. Note that you can just put the URL without the password and username, we will then ask you for these credentials in the next step. If you do decide to include them, make sure you put both the username and password.

If by any chance your website has been infected you will get a detailed report and a list of all the infected files. We do not offer cleaning services, it’s down to you to clean your website. You can always use a clean backup to get your website up and running again or attack the malware head on by hiring a professional to do the cleaning for you.

For some website to be your competitor, it needs to have at least 60% of your ranking, meaning that you need to have at least 60% of the keywords, found at some of your competitors. (excluded google, yahoo, youtube, etc.)

Orion has a sophisticated security scan in place. The security check scans the pages on your website and compares the code against the known malware knowledge base. It also performs a blacklist check with a number of services, like Google Safe Browsing, Norton Safe Web, ESET, etc. It is flagging certain site errors, outdated software and vulnerability issues as well.

Security scan has one more great feature. If your site has debug.log present in wp-content folder or if the scan detects that WP_DEBUG is set to TRUE in your wp-config.php file, the results will show that the website is insecure.

Competitors visibility score can go from 0, if the competitor is not ranked for the keyword you entered, to a 100, if a competitor is ranked first on Google for the keyword you entered. Please note that it is important to remember to consider the region of the keyword that you wish to rank for. The rank depends on the tracking region of the keyword.
On each individual website you are allowed to add up to a 100 keywords, although the recommended number is no higher than 20.

This is how the competitor visibility score is calculated. On a single website, if a competitor score is 60 for the primary keyword, and 50 on the second, the overall result for this competitor will be 55.

As an added feature on our existing Security Scan, we are planning in the near future to create the possibility to schedule your scans and receive automated reports of those scans.
