Managed WordPress
Managed WordPress hosting is a concierge service where, as your host, we handle all of the updates and technical aspects of running your WordPress site. This includes but is not limited to managing regular backups, website uptime, security, speed and installing those WordPress updates that seem to happen constantly. By providing this service for you, we ensure that your website stays safe and up to speed while you focus on what you do best.
The premium level of support we provide is ideal for companies that do not have the budget for a full-service IT team. Unlike other hosting providers who run automated systems, we engage humans to manage every single one of our clients’ sites. We host our clients’ websites on robust servers that are safe from hackers and other security issues and can handle all the traffic your site receives without slowing down.
Here are just a few of the advantages of our full-service Managed WordPress Hosting services:
Scheduled Back-Ups
Website reliability is our number one priority when managing your website. With our Managed WordPress packages your website will receive daily scheduled backups for your databases and weekly backups of files. All backups are kept on our cloud servers for fast access should anything need to be restored.
Full Service Support
Why risk the performance, security, and reliability of your site with automated services? You deserve more than an automated response, our Managed WordPress clients have direct access to our team of WordPress experts who work quickly to solve any issues that may arise with your website. We also audit the performance of your website and can offer our recommendations for increasing site speed and functionality.
Hack Remediation and Safety
Our goal for keeping your site safe from hackers and other security threats is prevention—the number one way to prevent hacks is by keeping your WordPress Core and plugins up to date. Websites on our Managed WordPress packages receive plugin and core monitoring to ensure updates are made successfully and without conflict to the latest and most secure versions. Should any issues arise, our team will get your website back up and running for no additional fees.
Speed and Performance
We start with a powerful hosting platform specifically configured for WordPress sites, which means your site will run smoothly even when it experiences spikes in traffic. We configure and manage caching, minification and compression to optimize WordPress website performance. To further improve site performance we enable our content delivery network (CDN) to deliver your images, scripts and CSS files to visitors as fast as possible. A CDN allows your files to be stored in multiple locations around the world so visitors can load the resources on your site from the repository closest to them. We also optimize all databases and implement security measures to prevent slowness due to spammers/hackers attempting to hit your site.
Maintenance
Our services include monthly updates for WordPress Core, plugins and theme files. This is the most common area where website owners begin experiencing issues on their own. We use a reliable set of plugins that we have found to be tried and true for 80% of websites’ common features and make sure they all work in harmony. Once we know an update is functional and safe, we apply those patches to all of our customer sites along with customer specific plugins and run a sanity check to ensure all sites continue to work. If any update has shown to be unstable or insecure we make sure to update after a stable version is released.
Cost-Efficiency and Reliability
With Managed WordPress Hosting in place, you know what your monthly bill will be and don’t have to worry about surprise costs for hack remediation. It is much more cost-effective than hiring an in-house IT staff to manage your own hosting.
Our Managed WordPress Hosting services provide the support you need to make your website work for you and let you focus on what you do best.
