Managed WordPress hosting

You may already be familiar with regular shared hosting or dedicated hosting. Managed WordPress hosting works the same way – it’s a form of web hosting specifically optimized for WordPress websites. Your web hosting provider will handle the optimization and maintenance of your server, ensuring that your WordPress websites run efficiently and securely.

If you’re serious about boosting the performance and security of your WordPress website, we highly recommend investing in a managed hosting service with WP Engine. Run your site with the peace of mind that it’s completely secure and backed by free SSL. Never miss a WordPress core and plugin update. Troubleshoot speed and performance issues and beyond. Investing in a managed WordPress host means you get time back to reinvest into your business’ growth.

When choosing a managed hosting service provider, keep the following in mind:

Speed: Page speed is crucial to providing an optimal user experience that attracts and retains customers. Page load times of two seconds or less is ideal to avoid unwanted bounce rates and improve SEO. Third-party data shows WP Engine offers the fastest Time to First Byte on desktop and mobile among all hosting companies for WordPress.

Test the performance and speed of your WordPress site, including both desktop and mobile versions, using WP Engine’s free Website Tester.

Security: Prioritizing a secure website experience helps protect your customers and brand.
