Managed WordPress, done properly

WordPress is easy to start, but keeping it fast, secure and up to date is real work. Our Managed Cloud does that for you: Redis caching, dedicated resources, automatic backups, staging and hands-on management, all tuned for WordPress. For a smaller site on a budget, our shared WordPress Hosting is a great place to start. Managed WordPress is built for busy, business-critical sites that need more power and less admin.

Why choose Managed WordPress

Object and full-page caching serve your pages from memory, so your site loads fast and copes with more visitors.

Managed updates and security

We keep the platform patched and secure, with a firewall, malware scanning and two-factor sign-in set up for you.

WordPress hosting FAQs

Common questions about our Managed WordPress hosting, answered.

What is the difference between Managed WordPress and your WordPress Hosting?
Our shared WordPress Hosting is a great value option for smaller sites, where we look after the platform and you manage your site. Managed WordPress runs on a dedicated cloud server with more power, Redis caching, staging and hands-on management, so it suits busy, business-critical sites that need speed and less admin. You can start on WordPress Hosting and move up to Managed WordPress as you grow.
Is Redis caching included?
Yes. Switch on the WordPress optimisation preset from your control panel and we set up Redis object caching for you, at no extra cost, so your pages load faster and your site handles more visitors.
Do you manage updates and security?
Yes. We keep the underlying platform patched and secure, with a web application firewall, malware scanning, brute-force protection and two-factor sign-in. You stay in control of your own plugins and themes.
Can I use a staging site?
Yes. You can create a staging copy of your site to test themes, plugins and updates safely, then push the changes live when you are ready.
Which plan do I need for WordPress?
Managed WordPress runs well from the Atlas 3 plan, with 2 CPU cores and 4 GB of memory. Busier sites and stores benefit from Atlas 5 and above. Get in touch if you are unsure and we will recommend a size.
Can you migrate my existing WordPress site?
Yes. You can move it yourself with our built-in migration tools at no cost, or we can handle the whole move for you as a quoted service for larger or more complex sites.
Can I run WooCommerce?
Yes. Managed WordPress runs WooCommerce well, and you can add ElasticSearch product search and extra caching for a fast store. See our WooCommerce hosting for more.
Can I host more than one WordPress site?
Yes. You can host as many WordPress sites as your server resources allow, each in its own space, and manage them all with the bulk manager from one control panel.
How much does Managed WordPress cost?
Managed Cloud starts at £9.95 a month, and our recommended WordPress starting plan, Atlas 3, gives your site dedicated resources with room to grow. See the plans for full pricing.
Do you offer telephone support?
Our expert support team helps through support tickets in your control panel, with fast response times. Telephone support and a dedicated account or support manager can be added for an additional cost.
How can I pay?
We accept debit and credit cards for everyone. Business customers can also pay by Direct Debit or bank transfer.
