Hosting for WordPress

Your WordPress site, on hosting tuned to run it.

cPanel hosting set up for WordPress, for business sites, blogs and shops that should load quickly without you running a server. The server, its security and daily best-effort backups are ours to look after, and you keep full control of the site itself. Choose India, the US or the EU.

What WordPress is

WordPress is open-source software for building a website, a blog or a shop. You write and edit in a browser, and tens of thousands of themes and plugins fill in whatever it does not do out of the box. It has been going since 2003, it is licensed under the GPL, and by W3Techs’ count it is the most-used content management system on the web by a distance.

The software is the open-source project from wordpress.org. We run the server it sits on; we are not affiliated with the project.

What happens when someone opens your WordPress page A visitor asks for a page over HTTPS. On your plan, PHP runs WordPress and asks the database for your content, and the page is built there and then. That work happens on every visit, which is why the machine underneath decides how quick the site feels. Someone opens your site A reader · a customer · Google’s crawler HTTPS, included Your plan PHP, with OPcache on The page is built fresh, on every single visit WordPress Your database Themes, plugins and your content: all yours to export The page, quickly How quickly is the host’s job, not the theme’s
  • 40%+ Of the web (W3Techs)
  • 59% Of all known-CMS sites
  • GPL Open source, free
  • You edit it, not a developer

    Write a post, move a block, change a menu, from a browser, without a deploy or a ticket. That is the whole reason it took over, and it still holds.

  • A plugin for nearly everything

    Shops, bookings, forms, memberships, multilingual sites, SEO. Whatever the requirement, someone has usually already built it, which is why the server underneath has to keep up with whatever you add.

  • Yours to take away

    GPL-licensed, running a standard PHP and MySQL stack. Your content lives in a database you can export. No proprietary format, no exit fee, no permission needed to leave.

  • It expects HTTPS now

    WordPress considers HTTPS required for every install, not an upgrade, and so do we.

  • The version matters

    WordPress recommends current PHP and MariaDB, and runs faster and safer on them. Keeping that stack current underneath you is the part we do.

Why the hosting matters

WordPress will run almost anywhere, which is exactly why so much of it runs badly. It is PHP and a database doing real work on every page a visitor asks for, so the things that decide whether it feels quick (how much memory PHP actually gets, whether OPcache is on, how contended the box is, how current the stack is) are all decided by the host, not the theme. That is what you are choosing here: not just a control panel, but a server set up and tuned for WordPress by the engineers who run it.

Why run it with us

Tuned

A stack that suits it

LiteSpeed with LSCache, PHP 8.3 with OPcache on and MariaDB 10.11, on NVMe storage. CloudLinux keeps every account’s resources separate, so a busy neighbour cannot slow your site down.

Handled

Backups and security, taken care of

Daily best-effort backups kept off the server, free SSL on every domain that renews itself, and a web application firewall with malware scanning from Imunify360. The unglamorous half of running a site, absorbed.

Human

An engineer answers

When a plugin update takes the site down at an inconvenient hour, you reach somebody who can read a stack trace, not a script asking whether you have cleared your cache.

Room

A full cPanel account

Every plan is a complete cPanel account: email on your own domain, databases, cron and Git, and Softaculous for one-click installs of WordPress and other apps. SSH comes with Professional and above.

How it works

  1. 01

    Choose your plan

    Pick by how many sites you run and how busy they get. You can move up or down later from the client area, without changing hosts.

  2. 02

    We set it up

    Your account arrives ready for WordPress, with current PHP, a database and HTTPS in place. Install it in a click, or hand us a backup and we will bring the existing site across.

  3. 03

    Build the site

    Log in and work the way you already do: themes, plugins, the editor. Nothing about it is unusual, and nothing is locked.

  4. 04

    We keep it running

    Daily best-effort backups, certificate renewals, server security and updates to the software under WordPress are our job, so the platform stays current without you having to think about it.

Questions

Can you move my existing site over?

Yes, and it is the normal way people arrive, from cPanel, DirectAdmin or most other hosts. Send us a backup or the current host’s details and we bring the database, uploads, theme and plugins across. The migration note under the plans explains how the switch-over works and when it is free.

Which PHP version do you run?

PHP 8.3 by default, which is the version WordPress recommends. If a plugin needs a different one, change it for that site yourself with the PHP Selector in cPanel; there is no ticket to raise. WordPress still runs on older versions, so nothing forces your hand overnight, but the recommended version is faster and still gets security fixes.

Do you update WordPress and my plugins for me?

We keep the stack under it current (PHP, the database, the web server, the certificates) and we back the site up daily so an update that goes wrong is recoverable. WordPress core and plugin updates stay under your control by default, because a plugin update can change how your site behaves and that should be your call. If you would rather we handled them too, ask and we will talk about it.

Is a shared plan enough, or do I need a VPS?

For most sites, a plan here is enough; WordPress is not inherently heavy. It gets heavy when pages are built from scratch for every visitor and plugins do real work. The first step is a bigger plan here. Past that, Semi-Dedicated keeps cPanel and is fully managed, but reserves CPU cores and memory for you, and Managed Cloud VPS gives you a server of your own that our engineers run. If you want root to run it yourself, that is the Standard KVM VPS. Tell us what is running and we will suggest the smallest step that solves it.

Which plan should I choose?

Count your sites first: Student hosts 2, Advanced 10, Professional 30, and Ecommerce and Business have no site limit. Then think about load. Professional has twice the CPU of the plans below it and adds SSH, which suits busier WordPress sites and shops; Business carries the most storage.

How is this different from your Linux Web Hosting?

It is the same platform, on the same plans at the same prices. This page explains how those plans run WordPress; choose Linux Web Hosting if you mainly run other PHP software or a mix of sites. One account can run WordPress and other sites side by side, up to your plan’s site count.

What do the daily backups cover?

Every account, whatever its size: files, databases and mailboxes. We take the backups daily on a best-effort basis, store copies off the hosting server in two locations and keep them for 7 days. Ask for a file, a database or your whole account back and we restore it from those copies. Keep an independent copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.

How is it billed, and can I get a refund?

Pick monthly or a longer term on the plans above; longer terms cost less per month, and every plan except Student includes a free domain on a 1-year or longer term. Promotional discounts apply to your first term. If the hosting is not right for you, cancel within 30 days of signing up and we refund the hosting fee; setup fees and domain registrations are not refundable.
