WordPress hosting FAQ

Managed WordPress hosting is web hosting built specifically for WordPress. Instead of a general-purpose server where you install and look after WordPress yourself, our platform has WordPress pre-installed and our team takes care of the technical work: core and plugin updates, security hardening, daily backups, caching and performance tuning. The servers run a PHP and database configuration tuned for WordPress, so pages load faster than on ordinary shared hosting.

Shared hosting is a good, low-cost option if you want to run several different kinds of sites or apps. If your site is WordPress, the managed plans give you a faster site, fewer things to maintain and support from people who work with WordPress every day.

Yes. Your hosting account is created the moment your payment is confirmed, with the latest version of WordPress installed and a login link sent to your email. You choose your site name, admin username and password during setup, and you can be writing your first page within minutes.

If you would rather start from a design, you can pick one of the free themes from your dashboard, or import a site you have already built elsewhere.

Yes, and it is free on every plan. Once you sign up, open a ticket with the login details for your current host (or your WordPress admin login) and our team copies your files, database, media and plugins to your new account, tests the site on our servers and only then switches it over so there is no downtime. Most migrations are completed within 24–48 hours.

If you prefer to do it yourself, the Migration plugin in your dashboard can move a site by simply pasting the address of your old site.

We update WordPress core, your plugins and your themes for you on a schedule you choose. Before an update is applied to your live site, it is first run on a copy of your site and the site is checked for errors and visual changes. If something breaks, the update is rolled back and you are notified instead of your visitors seeing an error.

You can exclude individual plugins from automatic updates, pause updates while you are working on the site, or turn the feature off completely and update manually from the dashboard.

A staging site is a private copy of your live website where you can try a new theme, test a plugin, or make big content changes without visitors seeing anything. Click Create staging in your dashboard and a copy of your site is ready in about a minute at a private address. When you are happy with the changes, click Push to live and they are copied to your real site, with a backup taken automatically first.

Every plan includes staging. On the WP Starter plan you get one staging site; the larger plans give you a staging copy for every site.

Your files and database are backed up automatically every day and kept for 30 days. You can restore a full backup, or just your files or just your database, from the dashboard with one click, and you can download a copy at any time. Before every automatic update and every push from staging we also take an extra backup, so you can always go back.

Need more frequent backups? On the WP Business and WP Agency plans you can switch to hourly backups for stores and busy sites.

Security is layered. At the network level, a web application firewall blocks common attacks and bad bots before they reach your site, and login pages are protected against brute-force attempts. On the server, every site runs in its own isolated environment so a problem on someone else’s site cannot affect yours. Your site is scanned for malware daily, a free SSL certificate keeps every page on https, and automatic updates close known vulnerabilities quickly.

If your site is ever compromised, our team cleans it for free and helps you find the cause.

Yes. All plans support WooCommerce, membership plugins, page builders such as Elementor and multilingual plugins. The WP Business and WP Agency plans are tuned for stores, with more PHP workers, a larger database and object caching, so carts and checkouts stay fast even during a sale. If you are not sure which plan fits your store, tell us roughly how many products and visitors you have and we will recommend one.

The plans differ mainly in how many WordPress sites you can run and how much storage you get. WP Starter is for a single site, WP Pro allows five, WP Business fifteen and WP Agency has no fixed limit within fair use. Each site gets its own WordPress install, staging copy, backups and SSL certificate, all managed from one dashboard. You can upgrade at any time and we credit the unused part of your current term.

Yes. Every plan includes email accounts on your domain, with webmail, IMAP/POP access on your phone and computer, and spam filtering. WordPress is also configured to send its own emails (password resets, order confirmations, contact-form messages) through our mail servers so they arrive reliably instead of landing in spam.

If you already use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, you can keep it; just tell us and we set the DNS records for you.

You choose monthly, yearly or four-year billing. Longer terms are cheaper per month and are paid up front for the whole term; the “pay today” amount is shown on each plan before you check out. Plans renew at the regular price at the end of the term unless you cancel, and we send reminders before every renewal.

If the service is not right for you, contact us within the first 30 days for a full refund of your hosting fee. Domain registrations are non-refundable because the registries charge us immediately.

Real WordPress engineers, 24 hours a day, on live chat and tickets. They can help with anything on the hosting side, and with common WordPress questions too: a plugin conflict, a white screen after an update, slow pages, email deliverability, or moving your site to a new domain. On the WP Agency plan your tickets are prioritised and go straight to senior staff.

Our knowledge base also has step-by-step guides for the most common WordPress tasks.
