Built for WordPress
Why WordPress needs more than a server.
A WordPress site is not a folder of files. It is PHP, a database and a stack of plugins, and every one of those needs looking after. Put it somewhere that does none of that and it will bite eventually.
Fixing a site that has already broken is the easy part. Keeping it working is what our hosting for WordPress is for: caching tuned for WordPress, updates you can test first, daily backups and monitoring that watches the site so you do not have to.
See WordPress hosting-
Plugins doing too much
A typical site runs plugins written by a dozen different authors. One that has been abandoned is enough to take down a checkout.
-
Updates left undone
Putting updates off does not avoid the risk, it stacks it. The longer the gap, the more likely something breaks when they finally run.
-
Nothing caching the pages
WordPress rebuilds a page from the database on every visit unless something in front of it is caching. That is where the slowness usually starts.
-
Weak security
Reused passwords, an outdated PHP version, no firewall. Most hacked sites we see were never targeted, they were simply easy.
-
Nobody watching
Without monitoring, the first person to notice the site is down is usually a customer, and usually several hours later.
Speed
Fast before you change a thing
Most of what makes a site slow is settled before anyone writes a line of code. The drives the files sit on, the web server handing them out, and whether anything is holding a finished page ready.
All three are set up before you arrive. NVMe drives rather than spinning disks, LiteSpeed rather than Apache, and a cache in front so a page is not rebuilt from the database on every visit.
The platform
What your site actually runs on
The same hardware, software and tools behind every plan we sell. Nothing on this list costs extra.
-
NVMe storage in UK racks
Every site sits on NVMe drives in a UK data centre. Short hop to your visitors, and the disk is never the thing holding a page up.
-
Security switched on already
A free SSL certificate, a firewall in front of the site, and your files scanned every day. None of it is a paid add-on.
-
Email on your own domain
Mailboxes at your own name, with webmail in the browser and IMAP for the app you already use.
-
cPanel, not our own panel
The control panel most people have already used, with one-click installs for WordPress and the usual open-source applications.
-
Traffic and resource figures
Visits, bandwidth, and how much of your plan you are using, all in the panel. Nothing extra to load on your pages.
-
Backups you can put back
A copy of your site taken daily. Restore one yourself from the panel instead of opening a ticket and waiting.
Help from people who can fix it
Support is the part of hosting you only notice when it is bad.
Replies in minutes, not hours. From an engineer with direct access to the server your site runs on.
- Our own team, never outsourced
- Direct access to the server, not just your ticket
- No support tiers to climb
- Migrations handled for you, not explained to you
- A status page you can check yourself
- Guides written by the people who run it
You should not have to move your own site
Most people put a migration off for years because they expect a bad weekend. Here is what actually happens.
-
Ten minutes to set up
Pick a plan, tell us where the site lives today, and point the domain at us when you are ready. That is the whole of it.
-
We do the migration
We copy the site across, test every page, and leave your old host running until you are happy. Any number of sites, at no extra cost.
-
Nothing changes until you say
Your visitors keep seeing the old site until you point the domain at us, and nothing is removed from your old host until you say so.
What staying independent actually buys you
Not a mission statement. Four things that follow from having nobody above us to answer to.
-
Independently owned
No investment group above us and no parent company. Nobody sets a target for what your renewal should cost. Prices move when our costs move, which is not often.
-
Profits go back in
There are no investors waiting on a return, so what we make goes into hardware and into the people who look after it. New machines get bought when the old ones are tired, rather than when a budget cycle allows it.
-
Here for the long run
We are not being tidied up for a sale. We would rather still be running these servers in ten years than be somebody else's acquisition. That is an easy thing to promise and a hard thing to mean, and it only holds because nobody above us can force the sale.
-
Room left on every server
We would rather add capacity before we need it than fill the machines up and hope nobody notices. A machine with headroom is a machine that stays quick when your traffic arrives all at once.
Included with every hosting plan
- LiteSpeed web server Pages are served by LiteSpeed, which handles far more at once than Apache.
- LiteSpeed Cache Pages built once and kept ready, so they are not rebuilt on every visit.
- Redis object cache Database queries held in memory, which takes the weight off busier sites.
- Free SSL certificate Every site runs over HTTPS, set up and renewed for you.
- Daily backups A copy of your site taken every day, restorable when you need it.
- Daily malware scans Your files checked every day, so you hear it from us rather than a visitor.
- Free migration Moving from another host? We do the move and keep you online.
- Support from real people Talk to someone who can look at the server, not a script.
