Built for WordPress sites
WordPress in one click
Install WordPress with Softaculous in a couple of minutes, or let us set it up for you with a website package.
LiteSpeed and LiteSpeed Cache
LiteSpeed web servers plus the LiteSpeed Cache plugin give WordPress fast, cached page loads without complicated setup.
Imunify360 protection
Malware scanning and attack blocking on every server, which matters for WordPress because it is the most targeted platform.
Daily backups
Starter and Pro include daily backups, so a bad plugin update is a restore away instead of a disaster.
NVMe on Business and Ultimate
The Business and Ultimate plans use NVMe storage with 2x or 3x CloudLinux resources for busier sites and WooCommerce shops.
24/7 support tickets
Our help centre covers the common WordPress jobs, and support tickets are open around the clock.
Which WordPress plan should I choose?
- WordPress Starter suits a brochure site or blog: 1GB of space, 50 email accounts and 5 databases.
- WordPress Pro removes the limits on space, email and databases and adds a free .co.za domain. It is the best value for most small business sites.
- WordPress Business moves you to 10GB of NVMe storage with double the CloudLinux resources, which helps WooCommerce shops and sites with a lot of plugins.
- WordPress Ultimate gives you 20GB of NVMe, 3x resources and room for 3 websites.
Keep WordPress fast and safe
Most slow or hacked WordPress sites have the same causes: outdated plugins, no caching and no backups. Our guides on speeding up WordPress and WordPress security cover the basics. If you would rather not manage updates yourself, add website maintenance and we will do it for you every month.
Who it is for
