WordPress hosting
What good WordPress hosting includes — speed, security, backups and staging — and how to keep your site healthy.
What good WordPress hosting includes
WordPress powers over 40% of websites. Hosting built for it is faster, safer and easier to run than generic hosting.
Speed
SSD storage, caching and the latest PHP version make pages load fast — good for visitors and for Google.
Security
Free SSL, malware scanning and automatic WordPress updates close the gaps hackers use.
Backups
Daily automatic backups with one-click restore, kept somewhere separate from your site.
Staging
A copy of your site to test changes and plugin updates before they go live.
Keep your WordPress site healthy
Update monthly
WordPress, themes and plugins — out-of-date plugins are the most common way sites get hacked.
Use current PHP
Old PHP versions are slower, insecure, and some hosts charge extra to keep them running.
Remove what you don’t use
Every unused plugin or theme is something else that can be attacked.
Check backups restore
A backup you have never tested is a hope, not a plan.
