WordPress is more than just a blogging tool

Many businesses start out using WordPress to run their blog but soon become aware of the power of the platform and prefer to have it running their whole site, ecommerce store and other online services. However, at some point, having total control over and access to the site becomes an issue, and you will need WordPress managed hosting to take greater charge.

The benefits of UK hosting

Managed hosting is easier than running WordPress on your own server, with greater reliability, security and accessibility. There’s also no need to employ your own server manager and WordPress expert. However, not all hosting services are equal, and you should be on the lookout for those with unlimited storage, bandwidth and mailboxes to avoid a nasty case of bill shock.

Hosting in the UK guarantees your data remains at home and under your own jurisdiction, and data centre security features like redundancy and UPS power mean your site should always be available with the highest levels of uptime.

High-speed servers will also provide the fastest response to customers, and with time-poor web users ditching sites or abandoning shopping carts after just a few seconds delay, fast performance and reliability are critical for any business. WordPress sites are also prime targets for hackers. So, you will want yours stored behind enterprise-class firewalls, protected against the latest threats that criminals use to try and take over or poison sites with viruses or malware that could go on to infect your users.

Advanced WordPress management features are vital for business sites 

As your WordPress site grows and becomes more complex, you could also benefit from features like regular backups, version rollbacks, automated security scanning, updating of themes and plugins, along with performance and uptime monitoring.
