WordPress is a platform that lets you easily design, manage and publish your website content. One-click installations and drop & drop editors make for a beginner-friendly environment.
Our WordPress hosting is optimised to meet WordPress' performance needs and help you to get the most out of its many features. So we take care of the infrastructure, while you dedicate yourself to your content.
WordPress is extensively customised for bloggers, entrepreneurs, agencies and online dealers. With a market share of 63.8%, it is one of the most popular content management systems out there. The software is ideal for private websites, but also meets the requirements of a commercial presence.
WordPress is suitable for beginners as there are no coding or design skills required. With drag & drop editors, one-click installations, and intuitive dashboards everyone can build a website. The web-based, open-source software allows you to make edits from any computer connected to the internet.
With our WordPress hosting plans, your hosting is seamlessly connected to the latest WordPress version. Simply log in to your cPanel, scroll down to the scripts section, and select Wordpress. There, you will see your current WordPress installation. By clicking on the little man icon you can load into your WordPress dashboard.
You can also access your Wordpress dashboard directly by logging in at the link provided in your post-purchase email.
A plugin is an installable add-on to extend functionality and enhance the features of WordPress. They are often free to the public and available via the WordPress Plugin Directory.
There is too much of a good thing. So, when installing plugins, focus on features that really improve your website. Too many plugins can lead to site crashes, bad performance, and slow loading speeds. The most common and useful plugins are elementor (page builder), HubSpot (all-in-one marketing), Yoast (search engine optimization), and WooCommerce (ecommerce).
Whether you’re making a hobby blog, portfolio or informal website, WordPress has a design template to fit you. You can find WordPress themes in the free theme directory or use paid third party premium themes that include more features and variety.
To install a WordPress theme, log in to your WordPress admin page, go to Appearance and select Themes. Under the tab Add New you can unlock theme options. Simply hover over a theme and either click Preview to see a demo or install it directly. You can also switch themes at any time.
If you purchased a theme outside WordPress, you need to upload it first from your local computer. Install your .zip file by clicking Add New and Upload Theme in the same section.
Once your theme is activated you can start setting it up according to your needs using the theme customizer.
To secure your website you should start by using strong passwords, updating your software, and educating yourself about potential threats.
For further protection, we offer a free SSL certificate with every WordPress hosting package. SSL certificates provide website authentication and enable encrypted connections to secure data exchange.
Additionally, you can create backups using Softaculous. Log into your cPanel and scroll down to the Scripts area, where you select Wordpress to open Softaculous. By clicking on the pencil icon next to your installation you can access installation details and change your backup settings. You can choose how often you want to backup and how many backups are stored before the oldest gets deleted. Once set up, you don't need to worry about manual backups anymore.
