What does managed WordPress hosting mean?
We will offer a great hosting and we will manage it completely for you.
The problem with other managed hostings is that they are not truly fully managed. For example, they will give you a button to create the staging site, but you will need to make sure you setup the staging site properly (block the search engines on the staging sites!).
The standard managed hostings won´t monitor your site, they won´t let you know when something is failing, we will do that and also we will tell you where the problem is, so you can quickly fix it.
Is this a reseller hosting?
No, it is not. What we are offering here is more similar to a managed hosting service than a reseller hosting, in all areas. Our performance is similar to the best premium hosting in the market (request afree demo to test it), our security is specialised in WordPress, you will have your own VPS server, just for you and your clients.
And on top of that, we know exactly the needs and requirements of WordPress agencies and developers and we offer a direct support and help thinking about that.
Do you offer Cpanel, Plesk or any other similar control panel?
At the moment we do not. Our servers are optimised for serving your websites, having a panel will take resources from the server, increasing the sercurity risks and reducing the performance of your vps. Trust us on this, you are better without a panel like that. None of the biggest Managed WordPress providers offer a cpanel like that.
We are working to provide our own panel for small tasks, like taking a backup or creating a staging site, but it is not on our plans to have a cpanel, plesk or similar full panel on the servers.
What is your technology Stack?
We offer nginx servers fully customised for WordPress. Our servers are ready to handle as much concurrent visitors as your vps could. We pick the best VPS providers on the market and we will migrate your server for free if we think the provider is no longer as good as it was.
If you want to know more about the tech stuff, you can contact us, but here is some info about our stack:
Ubuntu 20.04, Nginx Servers, MYSQL5.7 and MySQL8, php7.4 and php8.X, FastcgiCache.
How do you compare with other selfhosted panels?
The selfhosted panels are tools to setup your server, they offer multiple configurations, multiple choices and great services, but they won´t handle the servers for you.
We have built our solution on top of some of those panels, improving them, and we will continue to use any tools we think are what we need to be able to offer you the best performance and security.
If you want, you could learn how to do this all yourself, as you need some technical knwoledge to extract all the potential to those tools and panels. Or you could just get a hosting with us today and get all the benefits (and better) those tools offer, and focus on your part of the business.
As this is a managed hosting service, we do not provide root access to the servers. We do provide ssh and sftp access to all the websites and databases under your VPS (and we can use and recommend ssh keys to give you access to easily).
Each website has its own independent and isolated account for security reasons. Contact us if you want to know more about the technical part of our setup.
What is the difference from other Managed VPS offers?
We provide a Fully Managed WordPress Hosting, not just a managed VPS. Some examples of things that we do than other managed VPS hostings won´t do for you are: server setup for WordPress, monitor your websites and fix the issues on the server when we detect them, create, setup and manage the staging copies for you, setup the sites on the server, free migrations (for new sites), direct support with technical experts, proactive checking your sites for malware, firewall and antibots systems, and much more...
It is a complete different level of service.
Do you offer email services?
No, I am afraid we do not offer email on our hosting. Emails are critical for a business so we recommend to host the email on a specialised provider, Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook or Zoho Mail are our favourites.
If you check with all the other big managed hosting providers for WordPress, none of them offer email hosting.
Do you offer full-page caching?
Our servers are built with security and performance in mind.
We provide Full page caching to your WordPress, no need for a plugin.
We also activate Redis Object Cache on the servers, so it is ready for you to use.
And we also using the latest compression technology (gzip, brotly, etc.) to speed up your sites a little more.
You just need to make sure the WordPress code is clean and nice, we take care of the rest.
We do daily backups, of both database and files, into two different external locations.
We also have the VPS backup for extra security.
It is possible to add extra backups to any website and also add incremental backups as an addon.
Where do you store the backups?
We store the backups on S3 and Blackblaze accounts, on the same area (EU) of the servers, by default that would be UK or Europe, depending of the location of your server. We also offer the option to have extra backups, incremental and have a copy available for you at all times.
All backups are encrypted on destination to prevent any loss of data.
How do extra websites work?
You first need to have a server, and we offer a number of sites with it.
If you want to add more sites into that server, you will need to pay the addon for extra websites.
You can have as many websites on the same server as you want and we will let you know when we consider that it would be best not to add any more sites into the same server, so you can decide what to do.
