Managed Hosting
6 things included, from our Hosting & Infrastructure work
You get managed WordPress hosting, an SSL certificate, daily backups kept somewhere separate from the server, uptime monitoring, a staging copy of your site to try changes on before they go live, and server security, patching and firewall as standard.
We host the sites we build and a fair few we did not, and the difference is that when something goes wrong you already know who to ring and they already know your site.
Worth being precise about what hosting does and does not cover, because this is where most people get caught out. Hosting keeps the server secure: the machine your site sits on gets patched, firewalled and watched.
It does not cover WordPress itself, meaning the core software, the plugins and the theme, which is where almost every hacked site we see gets in. Hosting looks after the building and maintenance looks after the locks, which is why most businesses take both.
Who this is for
You have a WordPress site and you want it somewhere fast, backed up and actually watched, with a person to ring rather than a ticket queue. You have been with a large budget host and found out what happens when something breaks, or you are launching a new site and would rather it lived somewhere it will be looked after.
When something else fits better
If you also want WordPress and its plugins kept updated, hosting alone does not do that and the Website Maintenance is the piece you are missing. If you want the changes to the site made for you as well, the Website Care Plan covers hosting, maintenance and changes together. If your site is busy enough to need its own resources, the Performance Hosting is the step up.
Step by step.
We set up managed WordPress hosting for your site on our own server, with a staging copy where changes are tried before they go live.
An SSL certificate is installed on your site as standard, so visitors connect securely.
Daily backups start, kept somewhere separate from the server your site runs on, so one failure cannot take both.
We watch the site around the clock. If it goes down you already know who to ring, and they already know your site.
