Managed WordPress Hosting

Managed WordPress hosting is a service in which the hosting provider controls the server and site in terms of performance, security, server and service monitoring, and other factors. This allows you to focus on curating your WordPress site content for higher traffic and conversion rates. Managed WordPress hosting is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to take a hands-off approach to sophisticated server or site management, while maintaining sufficient administrative access to govern and manage their WordPress sites without the need for advanced technical skills.

Our Managed WordPress solutions are hosted on high-end Turbo web servers equipped with solid-state NVMe drives, LiteSpeed TurboCache for WordPress, the A2 Optimized Plugin, and many other features that significantly improve read, write, and page load performance.

Getting started could not be easier – after we process your order, your hosting account will have a brand-new, fresh installation of WordPress waiting for you. Customization is a snap with the easy-to-use and intuitive cPanel, WordPress Toolkit, and other tools. And remember – our friendly and helpful Guru Crew support team is ready to help you at any time!

Our team will make certain that your software and A2 Optimized plugins are up to date. We’ve tested a variety of WordPress configurations to provide you with an optimized environment that includes our A2 Optimized plugin for improved site speed, security, and reliability. Although we do not debug core WordPress functionality or maintain third-party plugins, you can rest assured that we have a team of WordPress experts on hand to troubleshoot issues with you and your development team. We provide you with the tools you need to make running your sites easier than ever. You can rely on our team to be available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year!

Even though our team manages your server, you still have full access to the WordPress admin panel. You also have access to your websites, email, website files, databases, and site statistics through the cPanel control panel! The WordPress Toolkit is also included, making it simple to add plugins, change your site’s theme, and much more! You also have access to WordPress staging, which allows you to test changes and updates in a safe environment before taking them live. WP-CLI is even pre-installed, allowing power users to manage WordPress sites from the command line.

Our Managed WordPress solutions are great, whether you are a brand-new WordPress user or an experienced, technical user who has run a number of sites. All users appreciate our Managed WordPress environment, loaded with features and optimizations designed to make your life easier and get your website launched faster. Unlike traditional WordPress plans, our Managed plans have already done a lot of the work for you. Choosing which plan is right for you is largely dependent on the amount of traffic you anticipate, and the features you might need. Take a look at the Comparison Matrix to see all of these features side-by-side.

WordPress site staging is an easy and efficient way to test changes and updates to your site before you take them live for your audience.

Site staging is one of the most popular features of our Managed WordPress Hosting environment. Just as you would proofread an article or blog post before publishing it, you should test your site’s code, plugins, themes, and content as well. The A2 Hosting staging environment provides you with an easy way to do just that. Our staging tool makes it easy for you to create an environment specifically designed to test your changes before you make them live to your audience. No more worrying about whether a change will break your site, and then scrambling to revert it when it does. Staging helps you know exactly how an update will impact your site before you do it, for complete peace of mind.

Creating a staging environment is as easy as adding a new subdomain or domain to your site. Then you can use our staging tool to make a copy of your existing live site to the new domain. This staging environment is where you do all of your testing, such as seeing how a plugin or theme impacts your site. After you complete your testing in the staging environment and you want to take all of your edits live, you can easily do so within the control panel.
