Understanding Recent Price Adjustments at CharlesWorks
In response to rising utility and equipment costs, CharlesWorks is adjusting some of our pricing to continue delivering the high-quality service you expect. We are increasing our monthly email packages and Microsoft Office products by $1 and annual domain name fees by $2. Despite these changes, we are holding monthly hosting charges and labor costs steady at $99 per hour, billable by the minute. We strive to minimize these impacts and appreciate your understanding as we navigate these economic challenges together.

WooCommerce plugin version check (Your domain) SCAM
A new phishing scam is targeting website administrators by impersonating WordPress, tricking them into visiting update-plugins.org, a fake site made to look like WordPress.org. This scam, active since October 22, 2024, aims to steal credentials by urging users to log in and “secure” their WooCommerce plugin. CharlesWorks and WordPress will never send such emails requesting credentials.

Next, use WordPress’s Site Health tool to ensure caching is enabled—WP Super Cache is a simple and effective option. Lastly, consider implementing Redis for object caching to speed up dynamic content loading. These steps can help get your site back up to speed quickly.
Beware of BOI Filing Scams Targeting Small Businesses
Small businesses, including mine, are being targeted by scammers claiming you need to file Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reports for a fee. I recently received a suspicious text message directing me to a fraudulent website that mimicked the legitimate FinCEN process. It’s crucial to know that the real BOI filing is free and only done through https://fincen.gov, not through any .com or .ai sites.
