Server control
Choose self-managed VPS for root access or a managed cloud platform for supported workloads.
Compare management optionsPerformance tools with a clear purpose
On supported hosting plans, CDN and caching reduce repeated delivery work for suitable public content. WordPress Manager and the staging tools make it easier to test updates before they reach visitors.
Dynamic pages, checkout requests and logged-in sessions still need appropriate server resources and application configuration. Measure both page loading and interaction responsiveness; a CDN cannot correct every plugin or database bottleneck.
Security needs platform tools and site maintenance
Our published web and WordPress plans include wildcard SSL certificates, malware scanning and DDoS protection. Supported platform features also include a web application firewall and FTP security controls.
Keep your CMS, extensions and credentials maintained, limit account access and test recovery. An SSL certificate encrypts connections; it does not make vulnerable application code safe. Self-managed VPS security is configured by your administrator.
