When should you choose managed WordPress cloud hosting?
Cloud hosting is a good option for high-traffic, high-activity sites. I provide cloud hosting via Kinsta (affiliate link), Pressable, and Flywheel (affiliate link). All are modern, managed WordPress hosting solutions designed for speed and security, and built with the latest hosting technology. Your website will be fast and reliable with a global CDN and page caching at the server level.
All sites include free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, perfect for e-commerce and online donations. Your website is kept safe with daily automated backups and a one-click restore. Your live website is protected with a hack cleanup guarantee at Kinsta.
By hosting with me, I’ll handle all of the technical details for you. I will configure and monitor your WordPress website for security, keep it up to date, and back up the site daily in case of a problem. My cost includes the hosting service and labor associated with updating and maintaining WordPress. Monthly website support and retainer options are available for dedicated support.
Feel free to contact me for other requests, such as multiple sites, e-commerce, and membership sites, or if you would like to sign up for Kinsta or Pressable directly. You can add me as a developer at Kinsta or a collaborator at Pressable.
Looking for a more affordable WordPress hosting option?
We get it. Not everyone needs WordPress cloud hosting designed for high-traffic websites and optimized for speed and availability. Whether due to budget constraints or because you’re just starting out and your website doesn’t get much traffic yet, sometimes you just need affordable, reliable WordPress hosting. We recommend both Flywheel and DreamHost if Kinsta is out of your price range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is managed WordPress cloud hosting?
Cloud hosting is simply a term for hosting your website on someone else’s computer network. Cloud hosting is more resilient than standard shared hosting because resources are distributed across multiple network nodes. If one node goes down, other nodes pick up the slack. With Cloud hosting, you will experience fast loading times worldwide and little to no downtime. There are many managed WordPress cloud providers. I work with a few, including Pressable, Pantheon, and Kinsta. Check out our article on managed WordPress cloud hosting if you want to learn more.
What is shared hosting?
Shared hosting uses a single computer, unlike cloud hosting, where resources are distributed across multiple servers. Individual websites share server resources. There is a greater risk of downtime and higher vulnerability. If your host server goes down, your website will be unavailable as well. With shared hosting, you also share any problems. If other websites on the server are hogging resources, it can impact your website’s performance. We utilize a professional hosting service called Opalstack. Opalstack offers high-quality, stable, and independent hosting for developers. It’s also perfect if you want to run other software such as Ghost or ExpressionEngine.
Do you offer monthly maintenance plans?
Our website plans include the time needed to keep the website software updated and to monitor and address any problems. We do offer monthly retainer packages starting at $149. The retainer includes hosting, occasional email support, and minor site updates. With more intensive needs, we offer packages starting at $199 for regular monthly updates–including adding a new page to the site or minor design adjustments. If you need frequent design and content updates, contact me, and I can put together a retainer plan for you. The cost will depend on the effort required.
Can you host my email?
I recommend Google Workspace for email. You can also consider Microsoft 365 or other email providers. Pressable offers Titan email as an add-on. The pricing is similar to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. This is useful if you want to combine email and hosting into one package. Titan email is an independent provider–important if you prefer to use an alternative to big-name tech companies. Other providers to consider are FastMail and Zoho.
Will you help me move my website?
As part of the hosting service, we will move your existing website to the new provider. We might suggest improvements or enhancements before the move. The website staging environment is perfect for testing out design changes or implementing a redesign before the move. Once you’re ready to go live, the new website is published on your new hosting provider. Learn more about our WordPress design services.
My website is hacked! Can you help?
Should there be a problem, Kinsta offers a hack-cleanup guarantee. With Pressable, you can use the tools in Jetpack Security Daily to clean up any security issues. If your old site has security problems, we will help resolve them before it goes live on the new hosting provider. Most issues are due to outdated software or weak passwords.
