Technical support for small businesses

Technical Virtual Assistant

Technical Virtual Assistant is a UK-based technical support service for small businesses. We look after your website, hosting, domain names and IT, on a monthly care plan or as a one-off fix, so you can get on with running your business.

Unlike a general virtual assistant, we do technical work only: website care and design, web hosting, domain names, IT support, data recovery and technology sourcing.

  • UK-based support
  • Cancel any time
  • Most tickets closed within 24 hours

Questions

Questions about a Technical Virtual Assistant

What is a Technical Virtual Assistant?

A Technical Virtual Assistant is a remote specialist who handles the technology in your business, such as your website, hosting, email and IT, so you do not need to employ technical staff.

How is a Technical Virtual Assistant different from a general virtual assistant?

A general virtual assistant handles admin, diaries and social media. A Technical Virtual Assistant handles technical work: website management and development, hosting, IT support, project management and technology advice.

How much does a Technical Virtual Assistant cost?

Website care plans cost £39, £75 or £99 per month, with no long contract. One-off fixes start at £55.

Can Technical Virtual Assistant recover lost data?

Yes. We recover data from failed USB drives and hard disks, and restore websites lost through a missing developer or a hosting problem. We first check whether recovery is possible, put an interim fix in place if needed, then get you running again.

Where is my website data stored?

You choose when you order: a data centre in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia or Finland.

Can I cancel a care plan?

Yes. Care plans run month to month and you can cancel at any time. The cancellation policy page has the details.

Do you work with clients outside the UK?

Yes. We are based in London and support clients in the UK, the United States, Australia, Africa and the Caribbean.
