Definition
What is managed WordPress hosting?
Quick answer
Managed WordPress hosting is hosting optimized
specifically for WordPress, where server configuration, caching, security,
backups and support are bundled into one service. You never have to be a
system administrator. All the technical work is done for you.
Regular hosting
cPanel, Bluehost or shared hosting gives you a server with WordPress installed. The rest is up to you: configuring caching, setting up SSL, installing a firewall, taking backups and keeping on top of security updates.
Managed hosting
Edge caching, Redis Object Cache, container-isolated resources, a WAF, free SSL, daily backups, a premium CDN and staging are built in from day one. You get support from a team that actually knows WordPress.
Speed
We target LCP under 2.5 seconds on every hosted site, measured in Google PageSpeed Insights. PHP 8.2, edge caching, HTTP/3 and a premium global CDN typically deliver 3× faster load times than shared hosting.
Security
A Web Application Firewall, brute-force protection, automatic IP blocking and malware scanning run by default. A server-level DDoS shield absorbs attacks before they reach the server. If you get hacked, we fix it free.
01 — What's included
What is included in the hosting?
Every hosting plan delivers the power you need for speed, security, operation and support, so you can focus on the content and let us run the server.
Container-isolated resources
Every customer gets their own LXD container with isolated CPU, RAM and disk. Neighbours on the same server can never steal your resources or affect your performance.
Daily backups · 14–30 day retention
Encrypted daily backups are stored off-site within the EU/EEA. Restore in under 4 hours when needed, on every plan and at no extra cost.
Free SSL and HTTP/3
A Let’s Encrypt certificate is issued automatically and renewed continuously. HTTP/3 and Brotli compression give you an A+ on SSL Labs out of the box, with no manual work.
WAF, DDoS shield and hack-fix guarantee
A Web Application Firewall blocks attack patterns and brute-force attempts at the server level. A DDoS shield absorbs floods before traffic reaches the server. If you get hacked, we fix it free.
PHP 8.2+, MariaDB and WP-CLI
Modern PHP versions run WordPress up to 3× faster than PHP 7.4. MariaDB tuned for WordPress, plus WP-CLI, SSH and Git deploy for developers who want more.
Premium global CDN with multi-CDN failover
An enterprise CDN on every plan serves static files from 35+ data centers and over 300 nodes worldwide. Multi-CDN failover keeps your pages online even if one provider drops.
Staging environment with one-click deploy
A dedicated test environment with a one-click copy of production. Test plugin updates, design changes or new plugins risk-free, then deploy to live when you are ready.
Uptime monitoring 24/7 and auto-scaling
Continuous monitoring alerts us within 60 seconds if your site goes down. Performance monitoring and auto-scaling handle traffic spikes without queueing.
Image optimization and automatic WebP
Images are converted to WebP automatically and delivered at the right size from the nearest CDN node. Better Core Web Vitals without touching your media library.
IP blocking and brute-force shield
Automatic IP blocking on suspicious login attempts and brute-force patterns. Login attempts from known attackers are stopped before they reach WordPress.
Support from developers
Direct access to developers by email and phone. Response time within 24 hours on Small, 12 hours on Medium and 4 hours on Large. Reaction time on critical issues: 1 hour.

03 — Who it's for
Choose the right plan for your business.
Three types of business, three plans. Here's how to find the hosting plan that best fits your site.
Small
Smaller business websites
Sole traders, tradespeople, lawyers and consultants who need a fast, secure and professional website without technical headaches. The Small plan covers most needs up to around 30,000 visitors per month.
From $39/mo · 1 site · 10 GB SSD
Medium
Active WooCommerce stores
Online stores with 50–500 products and daily orders need a faster database, more memory and a staging environment for safe updates. The Medium plan is designed for WooCommerce-specific demands.
$69/mo · 3 sites · staging included
Large
Large stores or multi-site
Established stores with 1,000+ products, multi-site installations or business-critical setups with high demands on uptime and speed. The Large plan delivers dedicated container resources and a 99.9% SLA with a maintenance agreement.
$79/mo · 10 sites · dedicated resource
Hosting + Maintenance
Hosting alone isn't enough. Bundle it with maintenance.
Hosting is about the server, the engine that keeps the site alive. Maintenance is about the WordPress installation itself: plugin and core updates, malware removal, speed optimization and content changes.
A good hosting provider takes backups and monitors the server, but doesn't make changes to the site itself. That's why most customers bundle hosting and maintenance for the full package at a good price, from $99/mo total, with a 99.5% SLA and a free hack-fix guarantee.
How the responsibility splits
- Hosting coversServer, edge caching, free SSL, premium CDN, daily backups, WAF, DDoS shield and uptime monitoring.
- Maintenance coversPlugin and core updates, malware removal, SEO health checks, content changes and speed tuning.
- The bundle gives youOne invoice, one team, full responsibility for both server and site, a 99.5% SLA and a free hack-fix guarantee, from $99/mo.

05 — Comparison
Managed vs do it yourself (Bluehost and cPanel).
Quick answer
Managed hosting costs more than
generic shared hosting, but you save 4–8 hours of your own time every
month, get 3× faster load times and never have to be a system administrator.
For business sites and online stores it's almost always the right choice.

06 — Questions
Common questions about WordPress hosting.
Direct answers to what customers wonder most before switching hosting. Don't see your question? Call us or send an email.
What is WordPress hosting?
WordPress hosting is web hosting where the server is configured specifically to run WordPress quickly and securely.
The standard typically includes:
- A PHP version optimized for WordPress
- A MySQL database
- Server-side caching
- An SSL certificate
- Automatic backups
At HomepageHero, hosting comes with managed services built in — we configure and monitor the server so you never have to be a system administrator.
How much does WordPress hosting cost?
WordPress hosting at HomepageHero starts from $39/mo. Three fixed packages:
- Small, $39/mo
- Medium, $69/mo (most popular)
- Large, $79/mo
All prices are fixed with clear cancellation terms.
By comparison, generic shared hosting runs $5–25/mo, but then you have to configure caching, security, backups and updates yourself — which typically costs 4–8 hours per month of your own time.
What is the difference between managed and regular WordPress hosting?
Shared WordPress hosting gives you a server with WordPress installed — the rest is up to you.
Managed WordPress hosting additionally includes:
- Server-side caching
- Daily backups
- Security monitoring
- SSL renewal
- A CDN
- A staging environment
- Support from a team that knows WordPress
You pay a little more per month, but save 4–8 hours of your own time and get significantly better speed and security.
Do I get free migration to your hosting?
Yes, free migration is included on every hosting plan.
The migration process in four steps:
- We take a full backup of your current site
- Set up WordPress on our server with the right PHP version and caching
- Test everything on a temporary URL
- Switch DNS once you have approved
We keep the old server live for 7 days as a fallback and monitor the new one for 30 days. The whole process typically takes 2–5 business days.
What about uptime and speed?
Guaranteed uptime per package:
- Small and Medium: 99.9% uptime
- Large: 99.99% uptime with a formal SLA
Average uptime across all customers over the last 12 months: 99.98%.
Speed: We target Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds on every hosted site, measured in Google PageSpeed Insights. We report Core Web Vitals monthly on Medium and Large.
Does the hosting include WordPress maintenance?
No, hosting and maintenance are two different services.
- Hosting: operating and monitoring the server itself
- Maintenance: updates to the WordPress installation, plugins and theme — a separate service from $69/mo
The maintenance agreement covers:
- Updates
- Malware removal
- SEO health checks
- Content changes
Most customers bundle hosting + maintenance to get the full package at a good price. Read more on our WordPress maintenance page.
Can I cancel the hosting at any time?
Yes, every hosting plan comes with clear cancellation terms. You can cancel at any time with one month’s notice.
You keep ownership of the delivery:
- The website
- The code
- The domain
- The database
We do a full export and transfer everything free to a new provider if you move. No exit fee, no delays.
Where are the servers located?
We use data centers within the EU/EEA, in line with GDPR:
- Oslo: primary
- Stockholm: failover
All backups are also stored within the EU/EEA.
For international traffic, a Cloudflare CDN is enabled on every plan, so static files are delivered from the nearest of over 300 locations worldwide — visitors typically hit the closest node in under 20 ms.
