Header Text - Advanced WordPress Hosting technology for businesses of all sizes

As WordPress websites become more complex and requirements for speed and reliability increase, traditional WordPress Hosting solutions can sometimes struggle to keep up. This means sites can start experiencing slow loading times, security issues, and unpredictable downtime. This is where Hosted.com’s WordPress Hosting comes in. By offering advanced software combined with premium hardware, resource management, and WordPress-specific optimizations, we continue to deliver the consistent performance and stability that your WordPress site needs to keep your visitors engaged and coming back while maintaining your search engine visibility.

Modern WordPress Hosting Challenges

WordPress has evolved from a simple blogging platform to a comprehensive Content Management System (CMS). It currently powers over 43% of websites on the planet covering everything from small personal blogs to large ecommerce stores and corporate sites. This means WordPress hosting requirements have had to evolve with it to become more demanding to avoid slowdowns, breaks in functionality, and crashes. Some of the most common issues in WordPress’ performance, reliability and speed in hosting include:

Resource Management

The nature of the WordPress platform, with multiple plugins and themes, can lead to heavy CPU, RAM, and disk space usage or unexpected spikes due to increased traffic and new content. This can result in your site struggling to maintain consistent performance, especially when multiple sites are competing for shared server resources, known as the “noisy neighbor” effect.

Website Security

WordPress’s popularity as a site builder has made it a popular target for a wide range of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.  If a hosting environment doesn’t offer some form of isolation or separation between WordPress websites, it makes it easier for malware to spread from one infected site to others on the same server. This cross-contamination can expose multiple sites to potential security breaches and data theft.

Performance Optimization

Modern WordPress sites require server-level caching mechanisms and database optimizations for fast content retrieval and delivery. Without the necessary tools and configurations, your WordPress site may not be able to load quickly enough to keep your visitors on your pages, thus leading to higher bounce rates. This is especially important for complex WordPress installations with substantial amounts of images, videos and heavy traffic.

Scalability Issues

As your WordPress site grows in complexity and traffic, scaling up without affecting performance can sometimes be difficult, especially in a shared hosting environment, where there is not enough space and processing power available. Without the right WordPress Hosting, you could struggle to scale up your resources effectively without causing downtime, reduced speeds, or broken features.

Plugin Compatibility

WordPress has a vast ecosystem of plugins and themes to add almost any type of feature or functionality to your site, along with thousands of customizable design options. However, there are times when these can create conflicts and use up server resources faster than expected. If your hosting service and plan aren’t equipped to handle these needs, they can impact performance and site functionality.

Advanced Server Infrastructure

Hosted.com helps address the above challenges by providing a comprehensive WordPress Hosting solution that combines cutting-edge hardware and server & security software, with advanced resource management. This allows us to give you consistently high speeds, server response times, and stability.

Our server architecture is specifically designed to optimize performance for the WordPress CMS. Hosted.com’s hardware configuration uses high-performance AMD processors, paired with DDR5 RAM for faster data transfer.

This combination delivers the processing power and memory bandwidth needed to give the best possible WordPress performance with fast page processing and more efficient database operations. This leads to improved page load times and server response rates, thanks to:

  • Optimized server configurations with finely tuned settings for WordPress to maximize speed and efficiency.
  • Advanced caching mechanisms that reduce server load and speed up page delivery by storing frequently accessed static content.
  • Efficient database management applications that optimize database queries and improve overall performance.

We also use advanced resource allocation systems through our partnership with CloudLinux to ensure each WordPress site receives its fair share of server resources.

The Lightweight Virtualized Environments (LVEs) system implements precise resource partitioning, allocating specific CPU, memory, and I/O limits for each user. Account isolation also prevents unauthorized access and resource abuse.

This maintains speed and responsiveness for all our hosted sites, regardless of traffic fluctuations and spikes, while preventing server overload. The optimized resource usage translates to faster loading times and consistently smooth functionality for a better user experience for your potential online customers and visitors.

It has the added benefit of helping with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and search engines seem to give preference to well-performing, stable WordPress websites.

Security and Stability

Our servers are strategically located in the USA, with connections to major internet exchanges and multiple network providers. This ensures redundancy and reliable connections for your WordPress site.

Through integration with CloudLinux technology, Hosted.com provides enhanced security and stability for all hosted websites. Resource isolation within CloudLinux prevents resource hogging by one website from impacting on any others and thereby contributing to a more stable WordPress hosting environment.

The above-mentioned reduction in server load means a much lower risk of server crashes, provides a more stable hosting environment, and minimizes the risk of website downtime.

This lets us offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee thanks to:

  • Preventing websites from interfering with each other’s resources.
  • Our systems constantly monitor server health and performance, allowing us to identify and address potential issues before they may impact any website.
  • If a server encounters a problem our automated failover mechanisms in the system, instantly routes traffic to a healthy server, minimizing downtime.

Additionally, you get an added layer of security via the innovative container technology that isolates each WordPress website in its own secure environment. This prevents security issues from spreading between sites and provides additional protection against various types of attacks.

FAQs

What is WordPress Hosting performance?

WordPress Hosting performance is measured through server response time, page load speed, uptime reliability, and how well the server handles multiple simultaneous requests. Good WordPress hosting performance means your site loads quickly, has consistent uptime (99.9%), and provides a smooth experience even during traffic spikes. This is achieved through optimized server configurations, enough CPU, RAM, and storage, caching systems, and WordPress-specific optimizations.

How do WordPress plugins impact site performance?

Each active plugin adds additional PHP code that needs to be processed, potentially increasing server load and page load times. While performance plugins can improve speed, having too many plugins, especially poorly coded ones, can slow down your site.

How does the PHP version affect WordPress performance?

The PHP version used can directly impact WordPress performance. Newer PHP releases can process requests much faster than older versions, with PHP 8 and up offering the best performance. Regular PHP version updates are crucial for maintaining optimal site speed.
