5 features for great WordPress hosting


Ease of use and versatility: two of the features that make WordPress the most used CMS on the market. If you have chosen WordPress to develop your web project, the space that will host it will have to present some essential elements to ensure proper functioning and ensure high performance. Here, then, are five features that a quality WordPress hosting should include.

Linux and MySQL database

Although it can also be installed on Windows systems, Linux is the best choice due to compatibility with the most popular CMS on the market, including WordPress.

Therefore, relying on this operating system is the most suitable solution if you program in  PHP  or if you want to install web applications that use a  MySQL database , just like WordPress.

How much space and traffic?

Space, traffic and bandwidth are parameters to be evaluated when choosing the right hosting plan and vary according to the project; a blog, for example, will require less space than an eCommerce portal.

The Business and Enterprise plans work with SSDs ( solid-state drives), replacing the traditional SATA hard disks provided with the Basic and Standard solutions , which guarantee a higher writing speed and access to the MySQL database. These features, in addition to favoring the speed of operations, allow you to keep the website uptime high.

Always check your backups

Every web project needs to rely on a backup policy structured according to specific needs.

Our plans provide a weekly backup by default, with the possibility of combining the reference hosting with a daily backup : you can always restore the data, files and databases of the previous day directly from the Manager Control Panel, thus returning immediately operational. This backup will be stored on an external server, in order to guarantee you the best possible security.

Furthermore, you can further strengthen your security strategy by activating our Disaster Recovery service : each backup is copied into a redundant Cloud Storage, an external storage space located in a different datacenter from where you can consult, delete and restore backups carried out.

SSL certificate included and to be combined

By choosing WordPress hosting we provide the free Let's Encrypt certificate, which allows you to protect your site with the HTTPS protocol.

However, especially for eCommerce or platforms that process sensitive data, you have the possibility to guarantee client-server protection of information with SSL certificates: thanks to the protection key it will be possible to encrypt login and password, credit card numbers, documents and contracts. .

Appropriate assistance must be able to resolve a problem in a timely manner, providing precise solutions and advice by return of post.
