Benefits Of Premium WordPress Hosting With Visual People
- Our hosting is on a server that is only for our clients. We know everyone on the server and we have a team of server engineers who can keep it secure and problem-free. Most server options you may have give you shared space on a server that may host thousands of other, unknown sites.
- The server runs fast (which is important, as Google has indicated that website speed is a factor in their search engine rankings; plus, real people like fast websites!) because it does not have thousands of websites stuffed on it.
- We’ll be the ones managing any issues you have with your account or changes you need.
- If you start to get lots of traffic or increase your storage needs, we can quickly upgrade you as needed, for an additional charge.
- Our server gets backed up every night, so in an emergency when you’ve deleted something you desperately need, we can get it back for you (at least, as it existed a few hours ago).
- Our server is tuned for WordPress hosting and all plans include core and plugin updates to keep everything running smoothly and up-to-date.
Technical Notes
Our server is located in an established, SSAE16 Type II-certified data center (that means it’s compliant with security standards for hosting publicly traded enterprises, financial firms, and healthcare organizations – in other words, very secure). It’s protected by multiple power systems, including UPS systems and diesel generators, and monitored 24x7x365.
The SSD hard drives for the server are in a RAID array and backed up nightly to ensure the security of the data on the server — a feature you won’t find with any off-the-shelf web hosting package.
You will have total access to your account, if you wish, with an industry-standard cPanel interface, or we can take care of any updates or additions for you. All of our hosting plans include 1 hour per year of free help, troubleshooting or advice.
