Why modern websites need professional hosting

The first websites were simply online brochures. You could only find websites by typing in www.businessname.com.au and their content usually belonged to a mysterious, unknown source.

Website building was heavily restricted as there were no website building platforms. All websites were built through custom HTML, CSS or PHP programming which, as you can imagine, was time-consuming and alienating to most people.

Now we have sophisticated sales engines, online shopfronts, databases, lead generators and customer experience hubs. This evolution brings increased complexity behind the scenes. Your website needs to be lightning-fast, totally secure and always available, or you risk losing customers to competitors who get it right.

With our managed WordPress hosting services, we handle all the behind-the-scenes technical aspects so that you can focus on creating content that drives your business forward (we can help with that too though!).

Customers form an opinion about your site in 50 milliseconds

A massive 8% of consumers won’t return to a website after a bad experience

47% of users expect a maximum 2 seconds loading time

Amazon found that 1-second increases in load times costs them $1.6 billion in sales every year

The danger of an unresponsive site

When your website is unresponsive, you’re not just frustrating visitors, you’re actively pushing them toward your competitors.

Modern website platforms like WordPress make content management easier, but they require consistent monitoring and maintenance to perform at their best. Your site needs regular updates to stay secure, optimised images to load quickly and proper caching to deliver content efficiently.

All these factors directly impact not only user experience but also your search engine rankings. Google prioritises fast, secure and mobile-friendly sites meaning technical performance directly affects whether customers can find you at all.

Speed that converts

Fast load times aren’t just good for user experience, they’re essential for conversions. When visitors can access your content instantly, they’re more likely to stay, explore and take action. Since Google prioritises pages with fast load times, a slow website has a direct and devastating impact on your search engine ranking too.

Security that protects

Our managed hosting includes advanced security measures, regular updates and continuous monitoring to ensure your site meets the latest security standard and privacy requirements. You can’t just build a site and forget about it anymore. We partner with the best in the business to make sure your site is safe and secure.

Managed WordPress hosting FAQs

What's the difference between standard and managed WordPress hosting?

Standard hosting simply provides server space for your WordPress site, leaving you responsible for updates, security, backups, and optimisation. Our managed WordPress hosting handles all these technical aspects for you. This comprehensive approach means you can focus on your content and business while we ensure your website runs smoothly.

How does hosting affect my website's speed?

Your hosting provider has a massive impact on your website's speed. Quality hosting offers faster server response times, efficient resource allocation and proper caching mechanisms, all critical factors for quick page loading. 

Will you migrate my existing WordPress site to your hosting?

We can help with the migration of your site as part of our hosting and maintenance plan. Our team will transfer your WordPress site, database, themes, plugins and content to our hosting platform with minimal to no downtime. We'll thoroughly test everything before finalising the migration to ensure your site works perfectly. After migration, we'll also identify and implement performance improvements that might not have been possible on your previous hosting provider.

What security measures are included with your WordPress hosting?

Our WordPress hosting includes comprehensive security protections: SSL certificates for encrypted connections, regular monitoring and automated security updates for WordPress core and plugins. If your site ever experiences a security issue, our team will address it immediately and restore your site from clean backups if necessary.

How often do you back up my WordPress site?

We perform hourly and daily backups. We also create additional backups before performing any updates or changes to your site. Should you ever need to restore your site, we can quickly deploy a backup to get you back up and running with minimal disruption.

What happens if my website traffic suddenly increases?

Our WordPress hosting is built to handle traffic spikes without slowing down your site. Unlike basic hosting that might crash during a sudden influx of visitors, our scalable infrastructure automatically allocates additional resources when needed. This means your site remains fast and responsive even during marketing campaigns, product launches or if one of your blog posts goes viral. We monitor your traffic patterns and proactively adjust resources to accommodate growth, ensuring your website is always available when customers need it most.
