Wordpress hosting & Security
Your website should run on something good.
Most businesses don't think about hosting until something goes wrong. By then, the damage is done. We host on Pressable because we've seen what happens when the foundation isn't solid.
You get what you pay for.
Cheap hosting is cheap for a reason. Your website is business infrastructure, and it shouldn't be running on the lowest bidder.
You Already Know
Your hosting is the one thing you never think about until it fails. When it fails, everything fails with it. We have a better option for you.
How it works
Learn + Assess + Set Up + Maintain
The hosting setup follows the same process as our WordPress Support Plans.
The main difference is what happens during setup.
Learn
You let us know what's going on. We start by understanding your situation.
Assess
We do a full assessment of your current site. We check for anything that needs cleanup before we migrate. A site with unclear security history gets the Deep Dive before migration so nothing compromised moves onto the new infrastructure.
Set Up
We migrate your site to Pressable, configure DNS (typically through Cloudflare), set up SSL, enable Site Protect, verify backups are running, and test everything before pointing your domain.
Maintain
Once you're live on Pressable, ongoing maintenance kicks in. See how that works on our WordPress Support page.

Why Pressable?
Pressable was built by the team behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, and WordPress VIP. It's not a generic server with WordPress installed on top. It's infrastructure engineered specifically for WordPress websites.
If you will handle maintenance on your own, we can accommodate hosting only (billed yearly only). If you do not want to handle maintenance on your own, our Hosted Support Plan may be a better option for you.
All plans start with an assessment. We evaluate your site's health, determine fit, and identify anything that needs attention before migration. From there, we'll recommend the right path forward.
What This Means for Your Website:
100% uptime guarantee with unlimited bandwidth. Your site stays up, even when traffic surges.
Automatic scaling. If you get a spike, the server adjusts. No crashed pages, no scrambling.
NVMe servers. Faster read/write speeds than traditional hosting, which translates to faster load times for your visitors.
Choice of data center. We select the server location closest to your audience for reduced latency.
CDN, edge caching, and object caching. Your content is served from the closest point to your visitor, with multiple layers of caching to keep everything fast.
Automatic WordPress core updates. Pressable keeps the core software current on the server side.
Latest PHP version. Always running the most current, secure, and performant version of PHP.
Free automatic failover. If one server has an issue, your site rolls to another without interruption.
Backups: More Than One Safety Net
Your hosting includes daily file system backups and hourly database backups, with all backups retained for 30 days.
On top of that, our WordPress support plans add a separate layer: daily cloud backups of your file system and database stored on a different server entirely.
If something goes wrong, we have multiple restore points across independent systems. We've never lost a client's site, and we intend to keep it that way.
Security: Built In, Not Applied with Duct Tape
Every hosted site includes Site Protect, powered by Patchstack. It's an all-in-one security hardening layer that blocks known vulnerabilities, hides sensitive site information, and shuts down common WordPress attack vectors without affecting performance.
SSL
SSL certificates powered by Let's Encrypt are included with every hosted site. Your visitors browse securely, and you get the SEO benefit that comes with it.
DNS
A lot of the downtime we've seen over the years comes from DNS hosted on a reseller or poorly managed server, or misconfigured by a third party. If we're granted user permissions to manage DNS, we can provide faster resolution when issues come up. In most cases, we set up DNS through Cloudflare for our clients regardless of where the domain is registered. It's more reliable, more secure, and gives us the control we need to keep things running.
FAQs
Do you offer hosting?
Yes. Most of our care plans include managed WordPress hosting with an SSL certificate, daily backups, and uptime monitoring. We host on Pressable, which is built specifically for WordPress and gives our clients reliable speed, security, and performance. If you’re on a plan without hosting, we can help you evaluate your current setup and make recommendations.
Do you offer hosting only without maintenance?
Yes! We specialize in WordPress sites. Our services provide excellent security, daily backups, critical updates, malware scanning, and more.
So yes, we can migrate and host your site and not provide the monthly maintenance, if you wish. We do ask that we’re able to get a peek at the backend of your website prior to migration, just so we know what we’re working with.
How do you handle security and maintenance?
Every care plan includes weekly core software and plugin updates, daily file and database backups, uptime monitoring, site protection, and preventative maintenance. We also send monthly health and analytics reports so you can see how your site is performing. If something breaks during an update, we catch it and fix it.
why smack happy?
The honeycomb comes first.
Before any honey is produced, a hive starts with a secure, reliable structure. Bees build comb at a precise angle, every cell the same size, designed to bear weight, regulate temperature, and store what the colony needs to survive. Without it, there's nothing to fill.
That's kind of how we think about hosting. The infrastructure your website runs on determines how fast it loads, how secure it stays, and whether it's still standing when traffic spikes or threats show up.
We host on Pressable, built by the team behind WordPress.com, because we don't trust that foundation to anyone else.
This is the foundation.
