Hosting for WordPress FAQs

Didn’t find what you were looking for in our FAQ? No worries! Our friendly, award-winning support team is always just a message away and happy to help.

Whether it’s a quick question or something specific, we’ll make sure you get the answers you need!

WordPress is the world’s most popular tool for building and managing a website. It’s flexible enough for experts but simple enough for beginners, which is why it powers everything from small business sites to major online stores. Over 40% of websites online are powered by WordPress.

WordPress is open source, which means that the software is free to use and can be extended with plugins and themes - both free and paid. All you need is a web host - like hosting.com - to host your WordPress site and keep it running quickly and securely. At hosting.com we also give you tools that make building and developing your WordPress site straightforward and powerful.

It's a hosting service where we handle the technical side of running a WordPress site for you. Things like security, software updates, and performance tuning are all taken care of. It's designed to give you a powerful, optimized site without the hands-on work.

Our Hosting for WordPress is purpose built for running WordPress sites with extreme performance and reliability. We have multiple caching and security layers — both on the server side and through our partnership with CloudFlare Enterprise. These let us not only serve sites quickly - massively noticeable even in the WordPress admin area - but local to your visitors (see our network page for more info).

Our extensive automated firewall protection, complemented by rules and settings we proactively add, mean our team are always optimizing for the latest performance tweaks, optimizing for the latest plugins, and protecting you against the latest WordPress malware attacks.

The hosting.com hosting product for WordPress grew out of our partnerships with Rocket.net, which redefined hosting for WordPress. Through the partnership with hosting.com, we have been able to scale to bring the market-leading Managed Hosting for WordPress platform to the mass market.

If you are primarily running a WordPress site, you should opt for Managed Hosting for WordPress.

Managed Hosting for WordPress is specifically built and optimized for one thing: running WordPress sites perfectly. On top of the huge performance benefits, it includes features like automatic updates and tailored security.

Think of shared hosting like a swiss-army knife. Standard shared hosting is more of a blank slate that can run lots of different applications but doesn't have those WordPress-specific perks built-in. With the hosting.com Managed hosting for WordPress offering, we are able to run all website requests through Content Delivery Networks and Website Firewalls, as well as to optimize traffic and performance just for WordPress, WooCommerce and the plugins you use.

All websites you add to the hosting.com Managed Hosting for WordPress setup come with a development URL included, which you can use to test your website performance and functionality before you put your site live. This is important both if you want to develop your website before putting it live, or if you (or we) are migrating your website from elsewhere.

Once you are happy with the development URL, you just click a button to put the website live and our system will give you instructions on how to point your live website. Our friendly team are always on hand to help.

Of course. Most of our clients are those who moved their existing WordPress websites to us because they wanted faster performance, increased security and a better user experience.

You can migrate your own site to hosting.com easily, or we have a 24/7 team who can migrate your site quickly for you.

If you want to migrate manually yourself, either you can use standard tools like FTP/SSH and PHPMyAdmin, or you can use a plugin like AIO Migration to move the site. For most users though we recommend asking our team to handle the migration for you.

Once the site is migrated you will have a preview URL to test the site works correctly before putting it live.

We do not penalise you for starting small. Upgrading is instant and you can do it for just the difference in price. Because content and traffic is very premium - stored on the latest NvME drives in our global datacentres and served over Cloudflare Enterprise - we are realistic with our resource limits. There is no performance impact between our standard Managed Hosting for WordPress plans.

If you need more space, or even more increased performance, we can offer custom Enterprise solutions with dedicated nodes. Please contact us or book a call for details.

We support almost all WordPress plugins and themes. We are specifically optimised for WooCommerce, Elementor, Yoast, Advanced Digital Downloads, Advanced Custom Fields, Gravity Forms and many others.

We do not limit which themes or plugins you can install and you have full access to your webspace.

When you add a WordPress website you can choose from the following locations. Note that if you have multiple sites they can all be in separate locations as desired:

United Kingdom
USA (two options)
Canada
Mexico
Germany
Singapore
India
Australia
UAE

Of course, all sites are served via CloudFlare, so performance is excellent wherever your clients are. The vast majority of website requests are served via a global content delivery network, rather than from the servers themselves.

Aliases are charged at $10/domain.

We designed the hosting.com platform for WordPress to suit all sizes of WordPress website. We run sites with hundreds of millions of daily visitors, or which transact tens of millions a month with WooCommerce. We can handle growth and transitions for you behind the scenes and have decades of experience supporting WordPress customers as they grow.

Our Managed Hosting for WordPress nodes are Dell Hardware, with the latest AMD EPYC CPUs and Samsung NvME Drives. We typically run 512GB RAM or greater. Each WordPress site is isolated and containerised from others so they operate in their own environment. We do not limit inodes (number of files).

Because of our caching and performance setup, you should never be seeing performance degredation on your website and it should be running extremely quickly at all times. That's why we offer our performance guarantee.

For enterprise customers we can offer dedicated nodes (for one or many WordPress sites) also.

Our hosting platform for WordPress is market leading. We are constantly adding new features to make our platform better and better. You can find a changelog within the hosting panel itself.

All hosting.com plans feature a low price trial for the first month with a 30-day money back guarantee on all purchases to test drive our platform.

Our initial trial is available on all hosting packages. You can also get 2 months for free if you want to upgrade to an annual subscription as well!

Absolutely! You can always reach out to our customer support team and we’ll help find the ideal plan based on your particular needs.

All WordPress installs come with a free temporary URL so you can take our platform for a test drive without making any DNS changes, you’ll immediately experience all of the speed and security benefits on your testing URL before making your website live.

While many other hosting companies include tricky conditions or hidden limitations while migrating your website, we offer 100% free migrations no matter what hosting package you choose.

No, your site will remain online during the migration. We’ll migrate your site to our platform and provide you with a temporary hosting.com URL to preview before going live. Once you are happy with everything and ready to go, your website will experience zero downtime through the DNS update process.

This all depends on the size of your site. Smaller sites are typically migrated in just a few minutes, while large websites with lots of uploads can take a few hours depending on the transfer rates.

Simply create your account on hosting.com and contact our team of experts to request your free WordPress migration

Typically we can migrate a site with a WP-Admin login, but for larger sites we may need access to (S)FTP as well. Our team of experts will cover all of this with you upon submitting your migration request.

Yes! We guarantee that your site can’t get any faster than our platform and helps with core web vitals for immediate SEO benefits. With the use of Cloudflare Enterprise and full-page caching, your site delivers content immediately for your visitors around the world instead of always being served from one static location.

Every plan at hosting.com gives you 24/7/365 access to our amazing support team through Live Chat and our ticketing system with response times in minutes not hours. All our support engineers are WordPress experts and ensure your problems are taken care of effectively.

Sleep well with fully-automated protection knowing your websites are always secure as we feature a free WAF and malware protection powered by Cloudflare Enterprise and Imunify360

With hosting.com, you’ll have an always-on web application firewall (WAF) for WordPress. Your website is always protected from attackers that allows you to spend more time managing and building your website content and less time worrying about safety and security.

With a security-first approach on all managed hosting plans, we always provide our customers with everything they need to keep your sites safe without additional fees.

Your sites are automatically protected right out the box without needing to do anything on your end! The second you create a WordPress install on hosting.com, you're protected by our web application firewall for WordPress.
