We keep your WordPress site updated, backed up and fast, and serve it from a global CDN for free. You focus on your content and customers. We handle the rest.
WordPress needs regular care to stay safe and quick. With Managed WordPress, that care is our job, not yours.
Benchmarks from Anton Aleksandrov’s WordPress Hosting Benchmark tool show we beat major competitors on every key metric.

How long the server takes to start sending your page. NVMe storage, LiteSpeed, the CDN and tuned caching make ours 69% faster than other managed WordPress hosts.

A CDN keeps copies of your images and files in 119+ locations around the world. So a visitor in Manchester, Madrid or Melbourne loads your site from somewhere close by, rather than waiting for it to travel from one place. Anycast DNS does the same for your domain name lookups. Both are included free and switched on for you.
LiteSpeed, Redis object caching, OPcache and CDN edge caching, set up for WordPress.
A quicker admin area and faster checkouts.
Plugin update gone wrong? Roll back in one click.
Free SSL, a WordPress firewall, DDoS protection, malware scanning and WordPress hardening.
Better features, better performance and better value.
