Hosting and Support

Fast, Secure, Reliable Hosting for Your Business

We’ve been developing websites using the WordPress CMS (Content Management System) for almost a decade. Its ease of use, flexibility in design, and powerful plugin functionality has made it the perfect platform for our clients.

While WordPress is designed to run on the leanest of shared servers, those minimal configurations don’t provide the speed, security and reliability needed for business websites.

Shared hosting providers often put hundreds, if not thousands of websites on one server. The server’s processing power, storage and bandwidth are shared by each website. Heavy traffic to that server will effect website performance, and large spikes in traffic canoverload the server causing a crash.

Security is also an important consideration. Like MicroSoft Office, WordPress is a piece of software that requires periodic updates to its core system, plugins, and themes. In addition to bug fixes and new features, these updates also include security patches. It’s critical that WordPress websites are kept up-to-date to help prevent security breaches from exploits in the software. These hacks have the potential to not only effect the compromised website, but all websites on a shared server.

 

 

Why is Our Managed WordPress Hosting and Support
the Perfect Solution for Your Business?

Early on in our WordPress website development, our clients managed their own hosting accounts. Some chose to use more expensive Dedicated or VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting providers while most chose inexpensive shared hosting providers. The common problem they all had was the lack of time to maintain their WordPress websites and hosting accounts. They were busy running their businesses and they didn’t have the time to spend on software updates, security, backups, etc. Because of this, many experienced slow website performance and some even got hacked.

To better server our clients we developed a powerful hosting and support environment designed specifically to meet the demands of WordPress powered websites. Our data centers and custom management software are optimized to keep WordPress websites secure, backed up and running fast. Our Client Portal gives you instant access to WordPress training and education, knowledge base, and support ticketing system.

So what does Managed Hosting mean?
Simply put, we take care of the technical work so you can focus on running your business.

With our Managed WordPress Hosting and Support you can sleep easy at night knowing that your website is up-to-date, backed up, and secure.
