This depends on too many factors, most of which have more to do with your website than what we offer as a service. However, we can ensure that we work with the latest hardware. The servers are currently powered by 18-core Intel Xeon Gold processors and are all backed by SSD storage for super fast file access speeds. In addition, we can ensure that we never put too many users on a shared server. Finally, when your WordPress site does not work as expected in our infrastructure, our support team will work with you to further optimize it.

We were asking the same question, and found out that Managed WordPress hosting mostly constitutes of the following:

– WordPress either comes pre-installed, or with an easy to use installer;
– Automated updates of the WordPress Core version;
– Daily full site backups;
– Free SSL Encryption with every account, on any plan;
– Enhanced security via custom firewall rules and patches;
– Expert assistance with any WordPress question, from free migrations to plugin updates to the dreaded White Screen Of Death.

We weren’t surprised to find out that we already checked all of these items, and have been consistently doing so for years – our Support Team has been providing super fast, friendly, and knowledgeable advice on WordPress sites for as long as WordPress has existed, and we have gradually been releasing WordPress-specific tools to help our customers even more. We are working on new additions to our custom Control Panel even now, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

There are two main differences between everyone else out there and us. The first is the quality and speed of our dedicated Support Team. Most of the time, our customers choose to ask us first before going to the vendors of their theme or plugin, or to the wider WordPress community for help, and with good reason. While most hosting providers will let you know that troubleshooting or even fixing issues with third-party software is beyond the scope of their services, our staff takes on such tasks daily, and gladly.

The second one is our in-house development team and the unique products that they create for our users. First, we offer a custom Control Panel, which provides unrivaled control over the hosting environment in a friendly interface, way ahead of the cPanel-powered competition.

While free WordPress hosting exists, you will find yourself limited in even the simplest things, and discover that services such as pointing your own domain to your free site come at an additional cost. Some of the paid web hosting providers have hidden limitations to their services (beware of the word “unlimited”), and may even sneakily inject JavaScript into your site, which is why we are very out-front about what you get with every plan and hosting account.

While not critical, SSH access can be very helpful for experienced users and developers because it allows for direct access to the underlying architecture of the WordPress site. Additionally, we offer WP-CLI on all plans, which is a powerful command line interface to the WordPress core.

Most of our customers find that our Business plan provides the best value. It offers a lot of disk space – 100 GB, which is enough for big WordPress sites, and quite a few very large mailboxes (up to 15 GB per mailbox on the Business plan / 30 GB on the Business Plus plan!).

The WordPress hosting plans come with WordPress pre-installed and available for management using the WordPress section in the hosting control panel. All other hosting plans can also benefit from our one-click WordPress installer and the tools in the WordPress section of the control panel if you decide to install WordPress after ordering the account.
