Managed WordPress Hosting Turns 7 – What’s New?
It is now seven years since we first launched Managed WordPress Hosting. The service was created with the mission to make setting up and running a WordPress website as easy as possible for anyone. And as you might guess, we are now at the point where we have surpassed our original goal. Today, more and more people are choosing to go the managed route due to the many advantages it offers. Whether you are a professional blogger looking for some extra income or an entrepreneur just looking to quickly and efficiently launch a product or service, you can easily set up a WordPress website and launch it in just a few minutes.
This is great news for us, but also for you, the customer. As we mentioned above, the goal of Managed WordPress Hosting is to make setting up and running a WordPress website as easy as possible for anyone. And since you are the customer, that means you. We want you to have an enjoyable experience and want to ensure that every step of the way is as straightforward and un-intrusive as possible. This is why we have updated our hosting packages to offer increased value and a streamlined experience. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest changes that you’ll encounter when you sign up for Managed WordPress Hosting in 2021.
Features And Functionality
One of the things you’ll notice immediately when you log in to your account is the streamlined features and functionality. WordPress itself is a very popular content management system and it is completely free to download and use. What this means is that there are thousands, if not millions, of WordPress websites out there that you can use to launch your product or service. And if you are looking for a ready-made blog to utilize, you can find a fully equipped and functional one in just a few minutes.
One of the big changes we made a few years ago, when we first launched this service, was to integrate WordPress directly into our control panel. Rather than having to utilize a third party app to do so, we built in support for WordPress directly into our Hepsia Control Panel. One of the reasons we did this is because we wanted to provide our customers with the best experience possible when using our service. And what could be more convenient for a customer than having WordPress support built into their control panel?
With that being said, even with integrated WordPress support, you’ll still need to have a working knowledge of basic website administration in order to use and set up your site properly. And as we mentioned above, we don’t want to add any additional steps to the process of creating and running a site. So rather than forcing you to learn WP itself, we made sure to include advanced tutorials and support forums in our onboarding process. This is so you can get the most out of your site as soon as possible. And for those who simply want to get up and running quickly, we also offer a DIY option where you can upload and set up your own theme rather than using ours. So you can decide what kind of look you want for your site, and we’ll help you get there as soon as possible.
Security
Because we take security seriously, we’ve always tried to implement as many security measures as possible into our platform. One of the most important things we do is run all of our servers on a dedicated SSD drive. These drives, also known as solid-state drives, provide a much faster file-access time than traditional hard drives. This ensures that your site is always available and speed is never an issue. In addition, we use multiple plugins to keep malicious scripts and malware at bay. For example, we use the Sucuri firewall to protect our customers from getting hacked. And to make sure search engine crawlers are able to properly index and discover your content, we use the Google Search Console.
With all of those things in place, your site is going to be pretty safe and you can rest assured that your sensitive data is always kept private and secure.
Usability
Another important aspect to us is making sure that our platform is as easy to use as possible for everyone. When you log in to your account, you’ll see that we’ve made a number of changes to improve the overall user experience. We’ve consolidated all of the messaging and removed any confusing or irrelevant text. Also, we’ve added icons to buttons so that users can more easily identify what they’re doing. Finally, we’ve added a search bar to the top right-hand corner of every page so that visitors can easily find what they’re looking for.
As you can see, we’ve moved away from the traditional website layout and gone for a more modern, minimalistic approach. We wanted to ensure that every aspect of our platform was easy to use and accessible. And we think that with all of these changes, we’ve achieved that.
Cost And Revenue Models
Something else you’ll notice when you log in is that our pricing is completely transparent. Instead of using a free trial or a discounted pricing scheme for new customers, we want to make sure that everyone knows exactly what they’re paying for. So we’ve set up our payment page in a way that makes it very easy for customers to choose the right plan for them. What this means is that regardless of whether you’re a first-time user or a seasoned blogger looking for some extra income, you’ll be able to find the right plan and payment method for you.
Additional Plans And Offers
If you’re a regular user of Managed WordPress Hosting, you’ll also notice that we regularly have special deals and additional plans offered. This is because we want to make sure that our customers are always aware of what’s going on. So rather than just offering standard blogging plans, we’ve also added custom plans that allow you to run specific WordPress websites such as eCommerce stores, booking platforms, and more.
For example, we have the Auctiva plan which brings along a fully installed WooCommerce store with you. Or the PrestaShop plan which brings along a PrestaShop web store. There are also plans that allow you to launch an online auction or a retail storefront using WordPress.
If you’ve ever launched a successful product or service based on a blog, then you know that creating and maintaining a website to promote it can be quite time-consuming. Launching a new product or service is hard enough without having to worry about website admin, let alone maintaining a blog. But if you’ve ever thought about taking on a new project or getting extra money online, then Managed WordPress Hosting is the perfect choice. With WordPress’ rise as one of the most popular content management systems, setting up a blog to promote a product or service has never been easier. And with all of the advantages that Managed WordPress Hosting provides, it’s not hard to understand why.
