Investing in a secure WordPress host
Understanding the needs of your business can help narrow your web hosting options. Choosing a secure WordPress host means investing in a service that understands how important it is for your online presence. WP Engine is a top choice for hosting your WordPress website because it focuses specifically on WordPress. WP Engine is indeed considered a more expensive option, but the higher cost comes with a range of premium features and services. The platform provides automatic updates for WordPress core and plugins, ensuring that your website stays current and secure without added issues.
WP Engine pros:
- It offers free automatic WordPress migrations.
- Customer representatives are experts in WordPress.
- Isolated Enterprise Hardware Environments
- Highest Uptime
Unlocking scalability
Considering your websites’ growth potential? Then think about this: Can your secure WordPress host handle the expansion? Scalability is the answer. It means your hosting service can handle more visitors or added features as your site gets bigger. Also, with scalable choices, you pay for the resources you actually use.
When selecting WordPress hosting, consider:
- Can I easily scale my server?
- Can I grow without migrations or interruptions?
- How much does the upgrade cost?
Scalability guarantees your hosting setup expands effortlessly alongside your needs. A good hosting provider should tell you how much it costs to upgrade your server for your growing website.
Always available support
Watch out for hidden costs when choosing cheap website hosting. Cheap hosting may hide expenses and offer slow or missing support. It’s safer to spend more for guaranteed technical help than risk-facing issues alone. Faster request processing means quicker site recovery and reduced downtime. Ensure continuous support through various channels (chatbot, phone, mail, ticket system) to avoid server issues. Make sure tech support is both prompt and competent before getting hosting.
Safe WordPress with managed hosting
Choose managed hosting for a secure WordPress host. Managed hosting means constant server monitoring and proactive issue resolution, ensuring your site functions smoothly. Bobby King, the Chief Operations Officer (COO) of the White Label Agency (WLA), provided his thoughts on hosting vulnerabilities: “ If other websites sharing the same server are compromised, it increases the potential risk of your websites being affected.” Managed WordPress hosts offer backup services to protect your site from data loss. Backups can be stored off-site for easy restoration in case of hacks or damage. Managed WordPress hosts scan and remove malware automatically and eliminate any infected files. It provides your agency excellent value, sparing you from the headaches of managing it yourself while also saving time and money.

WAF security options for WordPress
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) ensures protection against potential dangers for your website. It monitors and filters traffic to block intruders, allowing secure traffic to pass through normally. Digital signatures identify online entities. If an entity, like a virus, is marked as harmful, its signature goes into the WAF system’s blacklist. This means that the virus is detected and blocked before it can reach your site. A reputable hosting provider, like WP Engine, provides targeted protection against WordPress-specific vulnerabilities and offers a defense option tailored specifically for WordPress websites.
This helps prevent common WordPress attack methods such as:
- SQL injection attacks – Stopping attempts to add harmful SQL code that may reveal or harm the site’s database.
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) – Blocking hackers from injecting JavaScript or HTML to take control of user sessions.
- Local and remote file inclusion – Preventing efforts to access sensitive files on the hosting servers.
Understanding server uptime
Uptime is the duration a server operates continuously. It shows the stability of host machines and how long they can stay in a “fail-safe” mode. The best uptime is around 99.98%, meaning the server might stop working for about 1.6 hours in a whole year. When picking hosting, look at the uptime numbers. These numbers inform your agency about the frequency of issues with the considered hosting. Avoid using hosting services with an uptime lower than 98%. If the uptime percentage is low, your site will be less available, resulting in reduced income.
