What does managed WordPress hosting mean? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

With managed WordPress hosting, the provider takes care not only of the server but of the entire technical operation of your WordPress website.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

At WPressCloud this means: we set up WordPress, keep core, themes, plugins and PHP up to date, run caching, CDN and security measures, create daily backups and monitor your website around the clock. You focus on content and your business; we handle the technology.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Managed WooCommerce hosting is managed WordPress hosting tailored specifically to online shops. Cart, checkout and customer account must not be cached, and orders, stock levels and customer accounts put constant load on the database.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our shop plans are designed exactly for this: checkout-safe caching rules, more memory, fast NVMe storage and, from Shop Business, a Redis object cache are already set up.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How does managed hosting differ from regular web hosting? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

With conventional web hosting you get storage space and a control panel. Installation, updates, security, backups and troubleshooting remain your job. With managed hosting, exactly these tasks are part of the service and run on our servers, automated and monitored.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. You have full access to your WordPress backend, can freely install plugins and themes, including Elementor Pro and commercial themes, and can access your files at any time via SFTP and SSH.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

For company websites, blogs, portfolios and landing pages, the managed WordPress plans Cloud Start, Cloud Business and Cloud Enterprise are ideal. As soon as you sell products and process orders, we recommend the shop plans from \u20ac35 per month. If you're unsure, we're happy to advise you without obligation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. You can move to a larger or smaller plan at any time without migrating your website.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Every plan includes: fast NVMe storage, SSL certificates, global CDN, daily backups, updates for WordPress core, themes and plugins, malware scans, DDoS protection, business email addresses, a staging environment, SFTP and SSH access, DNS management, free migration of your existing website and personal support.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We do. WordPress core, themes and plugins are updated weekly, and we keep the PHP version current. This keeps your website secure without you having to take care of updates yourself.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, in all plans. Our team transfers files, database and configuration, tests the website on a test address and only switches over once you approve. For shops we also migrate products, orders and customer accounts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

No. There are no setup fees, not even for migrating your existing website.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The choice is yours: with monthly billing there is no minimum term, so you stay flexible and pay month by month. With annual billing you save 20% compared to monthly billing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your price stays the same after the first year, because we don't use teaser prices. You can switch between monthly and annual billing at any time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Why should I use managed WordPress or WooCommerce hosting? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Because running a WordPress website is ongoing work: updates, security checks, backups, performance and troubleshooting. With managed hosting you hand these tasks over to specialists. You get a fast, secure website and a dedicated contact instead of having to be the administrator yourself.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Installing and testing updates, checking backups, reviewing security warnings and maintaining caching plugins regularly takes time even for a single website, and correspondingly more for several.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

At WPressCloud these tasks run automatically and are monitored. You can invest the time you gain in content, customers and revenue.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Several layers of protection work together at server level: firewall, DDoS and brute-force protection, login protection, regular malware scans, SSL encryption and always up-to-date software. In the larger plans we extend security and monitoring further.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

No. Caching, object cache, CDN and the security measures work at server level. This eliminates the usual stack of plugins that make a website slower and more error-prone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

We monitor availability and server metrics around the clock. Thanks to daily backups, an earlier state can be restored with one click, and our support team helps you personally find the cause.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our servers are designed exclusively for WordPress: NVMe storage, current PHP 8 versions, HTTP\/3, NGINX caching, Redis object cache, Brotli compression and a global CDN ensure short loading times without you having to configure anything.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

In three steps: request the auth code from your current provider. Enter the domain and auth code in the control panel. We check the details and complete the transfer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your website and email addresses remain reachable during the switch. A transfer usually extends the domain by one year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Cloud Start and Shop Start include 5 email addresses, Cloud Business and Shop Business 10, and Cloud Enterprise and Shop Pro 30. Webmail, spam and virus protection, aliases and forwarding are always included.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Why should I use my own domain address instead of free mail? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

A free mail address on a quote or invoice costs trust, especially with business customers. With an address on your domain, your company presents itself consistently and professionally, and the address stays with the company when staff change.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

We make sure they don't: SPF, DKIM and DMARC are set up correctly for your domain so your messages arrive reliably. Incoming mail is checked for spam and viruses on the server.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. As part of the website migration, we can also transfer your existing mailboxes including their folder structure on request, so no message is lost.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Aliases are additional addresses for an existing mailbox, such as info@ and contact@. Forwarding automatically sends incoming messages to another address.

Change DNS or transfer your domain to us<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

There are two ways to WPressCloud. Both work without downtime, and we're happy to help you decide.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Do I have to transfer my domain to WPressCloud? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

No. You can leave your domain with your current provider and simply point the DNS records to our servers. Or you transfer the domain completely to us. Both are possible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

What's the difference between a DNS change and a domain transfer? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

With a DNS change, the domain stays with your current provider. You only change the records there that determine where your website and emails point. You continue to pay for the domain there.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

With a domain transfer, the domain moves completely to WPressCloud. You then manage domain, DNS, SSL, hosting and email in one place, with one contact and one invoice.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

Which option do you recommend? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

In most cases the transfer, because everything then comes from one provider and we set the necessary DNS records automatically. A DNS change makes sense if your domain is linked to other services that should stay with your current provider.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

How do I point the DNS records to WPressCloud? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Once your hosting is set up, we give you the right values. At your current provider you change your domain's A record and the record for www. If you also use business email with us, MX, SPF and DKIM records are added. On request, we'll go through the change step by step with you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

How long does a DNS change take? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Changes are usually active within a few minutes to a few hours. In individual cases, worldwide propagation can take up to 48 hours.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

Is my website offline during the change? <\/h3><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

No. We only switch over once your website is fully set up and tested with us. Until the new records are active everywhere, the previous version remains reachable. Your visitors won't notice the switch.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Just three things: a suitable plan, a domain (newly registered or existing) and your content or existing website. We set up the server, WordPress installation, SSL, backups, security and email for you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
