WordPress is the platform we work with most often. 

It has an easy to use content management system that powers over 40% of the all the websites on the internet. It is powerful, extensible and scales with your business. Find out more about WordPress. 

We have optimised our servers and workflow to provide best in class managed hosting for WordPress . We are not best placed to manage other website systems. 

We’d be happy to discuss migrating your current site if you’d like to use our hosting platform. 

We don’t provide email services.

We fully commit all our resources to top notch WordPress hosting. We recommend the worlds best email providers GSuite (Formerly Google Apps) and Office 365 and can point you to some great people to help you manage this. 

Backups are an integral part of our WordPress management service.

We backup your website daily (or hourly on higher plan levels). We keep local backups and secure offsite backups for 30 days. We also keep one backup from each month for an additional 2 months, giving a total of 3 months coverage.

We can restore your website from any of these backups in a matter of minutes.

WordPress also stores page revisions so we can often restore just the page you were working on if you run into issues, without having to roll back the entire website.

Every site is a little different, but in short, our hosting is very fast. Many websites we migrate to our hosting are ~50-100% faster than they were on their previous hosting (unless they were already using a high performance host). 

We have spent a lot of time and energy researching to find the best, fastest and most secure website hosting service. 

Your website will be hosted on the same server we entrust with our own web-based business.

Yes absolutely.

Already have a WordPress website?

We review you current site and suggest enhancements then configure the tools that you need from our toolkit. Once your website is installed on our hosting, we make the necessary upgrades to your site. 

We also make sure that that we minimise downtime. If you need to migrate over any email systems you might be using we will point you to the experts we work with so we can get on with the job of looking after your website.

Or would you like to migrate website built in another platform to WordPress and our hosting service?

We can convert your website from another other platform (Squarespace, WIX, Drupal, HTML etc). If you want to update your website look at the same time we can help with that too.

As this requires some design work, there’s a longer lead in time and a project based cost for the migration. Just talk to us and we can fill you in on the details.

Yes, Absolutely. All our hosting is robust and can handle thousands of visits per day.

For high traffic WordPress websites we can build you a custom hosting plan that will scale with the demand and keep your business online.

Let us know your normal traffic volumes and we can discuss the best option for you. 

We use the pageview metric from Google Analytics to calculate the traffic to your site. We make sure you have google analytics tracking installed on your site. That way you get to learn about your visitor behaviour and we can track how well your site is doing.

Google Analytics tries hard to only measure real people visiting your site, not “bots” automated services such as the search bots run by Google and Bing to add your content to their search engines. Your Google Analytics pageviews are often a lot lower than the total pageviews for your site (sometimes as much as 350%) but they represent the success of your site with real people. 

Quite a few companies in the managed WordPress hosting space use pageviews as a metric. However not all companies measure pageviews in the same way. Many are also measuring at least a proportion if not all the traffic that Google Analytics ignores. This can result in much higher pageviews than Google Analytics will display. Often that means that these hosting companies have necessarily higher pageview limits in their plans. 

We celebrate your successes, a temporary spike in visitors will not require upgrading hosting capacity.

If you reach your pageview limits indicated in your hosting plan we’ll monitor it for a couple of months. If your traffic and your site is growing then we’ll have a conversation about increasing your plan. If it was a brief spike then we’ll leave you on your current plan.
