WordPress hosting

A WordPress hosting is a type of internet hosting specialized and optimized for the operation of the content management system (CMS), WordPress. This specialization allows for more effective and stable management of the CMS, offering an ideal environment for the development and maintenance of WordPress-based websites.

A WordPress hosting is based on a Linux operating system, a system widely recognized for its reliability and security. This operating system is conjugated with a PHP interpreter, which is a scripting language designed for web development. PHP is the language in which WordPress is written, so having a PHP interpreter is essential for WordPress hosting.

In addition to that, a WordPress hosting incorporates a MySQL database. MySQL is a very popular database management system used for managing data in web applications, including WordPress. This database is served through an Apache WebServer or NGINX, both of which are widely used to serve websites on the Internet. Using Apache or NGINX ensures efficient and stable distribution of data from MySQL database to website.

Specific WordPress hostings feature server-side setups that use enterprise-grade caches like Varnish. These high-level configurations ensure that web pages load faster, improving the end-user experience. Furthermore, they follow the best practices established by Automattic, the company behind the development of WordPress. This ensures that the hosting is aligned with the latest WordPress innovations and standards.

As far as system assistance is concerned, WordPress hostings are equipped with a team of technical experts specialized in all matters related to WordPress. These specialists are experts in solving the most common issues that can arise while using WordPress, making them an invaluable support for users. Their expertise ensures that any problems can be resolved quickly and effectively, minimizing site downtime and ensuring smooth, trouble-free maintenance.

Yes, our hosting is especially specific for production sites. We currently have thousands of production sites running.

Probably all providing an environment with multiple versions of PHP from 5.3 to 8.1 and later that guarantee high compatibility with all versions.

Our technology has been carefully thought out and fine-tuned to be not only reliable, but also incredibly resilient. The foundation of this success is our software stack, which has been carefully designed and rigorously tested to handle a high volume of traffic. With the ability to handle over 2000 requests per second for cached pages, our system is designed to operate in a high-performance environment without compromising stability or efficiency.

Thanks to our robust infrastructure and cutting-edge technology, we have achieved remarkable milestones. We served over 10 million page views per hour, an impressive result that testifies to the efficiency and robustness of our system. Per month, this amounts to over 200 million page views, demonstrating our ability to handle a constant flow of high volume traffic.

Nominally and contractually, we are committed to guaranteeing the capacity to handle up to 30 users per minute on cached pages. This is our promise to our customers, a commitment we make sure to keep consistently. However, our infrastructure has been designed with a certain elasticity, allowing us to handle traffic peaks well beyond this limit. In fact, we have already managed peaks exceeding 150 users per minute, demonstrating the flexibility and resilience of our system.

And all this without ever imposing additional costs on the customer. We strongly believe that our job is to provide a high quality WordPress hosting service, capable of handling any volume of traffic, without surprises or hidden costs. Our goal is to give WordPress site owners hosted with us peace of mind that their site will always be accessible, regardless of traffic volume or unexpected spikes.

In our commitment to provide a high-quality and high-performance hosting service, we use different locations according to the specific needs of each project. This allows us to offer unmatched flexibility while ensuring a highly reliable and secure support network.

The vast majority of our service, over 95%, is concentrated in Germany and Finland. These two locations have been carefully chosen for their reputation for reliability, security and compliance with data protection regulations. Both of these regions are known for their stringent privacy and data protection regulations, which allows us to offer our customers complete peace of mind.

However, we also have a small but significant presence in Italy. This allows us to provide local support to our Italian customers, while ensuring that their hosting is managed with the same care and attention to security that characterizes our service in Germany and Finland.

Every infrastructure we use is operated by companies with Tier V level datacenters. This is the highest tier of datacenters available, featuring world-class infrastructure and an unmatched level of redundancy to ensure maximum availability.

In addition to this, all our partners hold ISO27001 certification, an international standard for information security management. This certification ensures that our partners adopt the best practices for the protection of data and sensitive information.

Finally, all our infrastructures fully comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This ensures that our customers' data is always treated with the utmost respect and maximum protection, offering additional guarantees for data security and privacy.

Only WordPress and WooCommerce applications are officially supported, but the PHP runtime is complete. Some users have experimented with running applications with custom PHP code. Regardless, you can always contact technical support to evaluate ad-hoc alternative solutions configured differently than specific hosting for WordPress.

Managed Server has developed an innovative proprietary stack that integrates a number of powerful technologies to deliver optimal performance in WordPress and WooCommerce installations. This painstaking and extensive experience stack combines tools like Zend OpCache, Memcache, Redis.io, Varnish, and NGINX to provide extremely fast, reliable, and secure hosting.

Zend OpCache is used to optimize the execution of PHP code, increasing the overall speed and performance of the site. Memcache, on the other hand, is a high-performance in-memory caching system that improves the responsiveness of databases. Redis.io is employed as Object Storage, to provide quick access to stored data, while Varnish, a server-side caching solution, is used to speed up page load time.

NGINX acts as an SSL terminator, ensuring a secure connection between the server and the visitor's browser. This configuration has been specifically designed to work in synergy with WordPress and WooCommerce installations, ensuring the best possible performance.

The technologies adopted in our stack have been carefully selected based on the best practices suggested by Automattic, the company behind WordPress. In addition, we have been inspired by enterprise-level case studies of global publishing companies, in order to provide a cutting-edge and competitive hosting service.

One of the distinguishing features of our stack is an intelligent cache revalidation system. This system, unique of its kind, allows the delivery of an HTML page in an extraordinarily short period of time, between 30 and 50 milliseconds. This delivery speed is almost instantaneous, ensuring smooth and pleasant navigation for the user and a competitive advantage for sites hosted on our service.

Yes, absolutely. We will have a member of our Senior Technical team dedicated to optimizing your WordPress site. This expert will have the task of customizing and improving your site in order to make it perfectly compatible and aligned with the objectives you have set. Our experience and expertise allow us to ensure that every aspect of your site is optimally configured, ensuring maximum effectiveness and efficiency.

One of the key areas our technician will focus on will be cache management and cache cleaning. These are essential processes that can have a significant impact on the speed and performance of your site. Through careful configuration and careful management, we will ensure that your site's cache is always optimized, allowing for fast delivery of content and a smooth and pleasant user experience.

If your site uses technologies like Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) and Instant Articles, our technician will also make sure these are configured correctly. AMP pages and Instant Articles are powerful tools to improve page loading speed on mobile devices and provide your visitors with an optimal reading experience. Our expert will take care of optimizing and managing these features for you, making sure they are always in line with the latest best practices.

Ultimately, our commitment is to make sure your WordPress site performs to the best of its ability, regardless of your specific needs or the complexity of your project. With Managed Server, you can rest assured that your site will be in the hands of a team of dedicated and highly trained experts.

Absolutely, if required, we are able to devote our time and expertise to optimizing the Core Web Vitals of your site, with the aim of improving the Google PageSpeed ​​score. These factors are crucial in ensuring that your site provides the best possible user experience and is positioned favorably in search engine results.

Among the tasks we undertake to perform are the minification of static resources such as JavaScript (JS) files and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). This process reduces file size by deleting unnecessary data without affecting functionality, thereby improving site load times.

We also adopt the use of WebP images, a modern image format that provides superior compression for images on the web. This allows you to deliver high-quality images with small file sizes, speeding up page load times. However, we understand that not all browsers, such as Safari and iOS, currently support this format, so we will implement this technology in a compatible way, ensuring that all users can view images on your site correctly.

Another strategy we use is JavaScript “defer” or “delay”. This means that we delay the execution of some JavaScript scripts until it is needed, thus preventing any delay in opening the page due to the loading of these scripts.

Finally, we are committed to reducing your site's Time To First Byte (TTFB) to less than 100 milliseconds. TTFB is the time between the client requesting a web page and receiving the first byte of data from the server. A lower TTFB means your users will start seeing your site content more quickly, thus improving their overall experience.

ManagedServer supports switching between the local development mode it uses git pushto transfer all code changes and a development mode to the server, which provides access to the codebase via SFTP.

Direct SSH access is supported, and it is also possible to interface directly with mysql, use CLI tools ( Terminus , drush , WP-CLI ) and SFTP files

Yes, we normally migrate the customer's data for free at night and without disruptions on the new machine and we proceed with the optimization of everything (file / database / mail) so that everything is perfectly functional.

Since about 2012 we have decided to verticalize our knowledge on the slowest, heaviest but most popular CMS of the moment, namely WordPress and WooCommerce. Since our work and our optimization are problematic by their nature, it is certainly more evident and tangible in the total satisfaction of the customer who finds himself moving from a slow and cumbersome site to a decidedly performing and snappy one.

We care about the security of your data and the continuity of your site, therefore we take a series of measures to protect you from hacker attacks, human errors or accidental loss of data. One of the main precautions we take is to perform at least three daily backups of your site using three different technologies. This ensures that we always have at least one reliable backup available in case of need. In particular, for blogs that produce a high volume of content, we also provide hourly backups to ensure maximum data security.

Furthermore, we offer the possibility of insuring your business and website with an additional policy. This insurance covers any loss of data and can go up to ten thousand euros. This option provides additional peace of mind and protection for your site and online activities.

As far as system security is concerned, we use advanced hardware firewalls and DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) mitigation systems to protect your site from external attacks. These high-level security measures ensure that our service is a point of reference for the most demanding customers, including those who manage important businesses with considerable income. Our infrastructure is designed to resist attacks and to keep your site available in any situation.

The security of your data and the protection of your business are our top priority. With our holistic approach to security and backup solutions, you can rest easy knowing that your data is safe and that your site will always be accessible and functional.
