WordPress Hosting at HandsomeWeb

High-Quality Server

WordPress sites are hosted on solid state drives in server space occupied by HandsomeWeb-coded sites only. A limited number of sites and developers means less chances of memory and CPU hogging sites slowing down yours.

Monthly Offsite Backups

Monthly offsite backup of site files and database. While backups are made on server, we'll also save an offsite backup for extra protection and immediate recovery.

WordPress Core Updates

Monthly update of WordPress Core. WordPress updates the core code about once each month. We will perform an upgrade of code - always backing up site files and database first to ensure compatibility with theme and plugin files.

Plugin Updates

Monthly update of plugins. Exposed security holes in plugins are a source of site hacking. Keeping the latest version so plugins keeps site safer. We will perform an upgrade of plugin code - always backing up site files and database first to ensure compatibility.

Telephone Support

One hour of telephone support each month. We provide up to one hour per month of telephone support with WordPress and your hosting account. The hour includes both on-phone and any on-site work. (Note: the hours do not accumulate, so no more than one free hour can be used in any month.)

Our Distinction

By limiting our service to our design clients, we are able to provide the flexibility of non-WordPress code in your site. For example, one of our clients has a dynamic service directory that operates outside of the main WordPress site, where it is faster, easier to manage, more secure, and portable.

Site Caching

Website Caching to speed up your site. We install and setup WPSuperCache. This can greatly speed up your site.

Defense Against Brute Force Attacks

We install, setup, and monitor the Loginizer plugin to lockout multiple logins, extended lockouts for multiple lockouts. We make wp-config.php unwritable. We make .htaccess unwriteable.

Security Monitoring

We monitor for hacks and unauthorized changes. We install, set up, and monitor Sucuri Security plugin for you. Sucuri Security helps in the following hardening tasks:

  • Prevent WordPress version from being displayed in the generator tag.
  • Prevent direct execution of PHP files in the uploads directory.
  • Block direct access to any PHP file located under the content directory.
  • Block direct PHP access to any file inside wp-includes.
  • Check whether your database table prefix has been changed from the default wp_
  • Remove the readme.html file that leaks WordPress version
  • Checks that no WordPress core files change.
  • Disables Plugin and Theme Editor or monitors changes if your installation needs it.
  • Periodic Malware Scanning

Hack Recovery

There is no such thing as a hack-proof website. We will attempt to recover your site if it is hacked. If unrecoverable, we can reinstall from a backup.

It is time to make your web handsome!
