Features of WordPress Hosting

All of the top WordPress Hosting features in one easy location.

Malware scan and removal

Malware poses a significant threat, enabling hackers to compromise customer information, deface your website, and tarnish your reputation. Protecting your online presence is paramount, which is why our Website Security feature, available in our Ultimate and ECommerce plans, is dedicated to detecting and eradicating malware before it has the chance to cause any harm. Rest assured that with our robust security measures in place, you can safeguard your website, maintain customer trust, and preserve your valuable reputation.

SSL Certificates

In today's digital landscape, browsers and leading search engines label websites as "Not Secure" if they lack a properly configured SSL certificate. This unfavorable designation can have a detrimental impact on your online presence, as visitors will encounter warning messages that may drive them away. At Elite, we offer the solution to this concern with our Managed SSL Service. Our dedicated team ensures that your SSL certificate is set up correctly, eliminating any potential warnings and ensuring a secure browsing experience for your visitors.

Managed and automated tasks term security.

Your hosting plan comes pre-installed with WordPress, ready for you to dive right into building your website. We understand the importance of data protection, which is why we perform nightly backups of your site, ensuring that your content is safe and secure. Additionally, our vigilant team keeps a close eye on WordPress updates and security patches, ensuring that you are always running the latest version with all necessary security updates in place.

Tools to get found on Google

Elite's WordPress search engine optimization (SEO) plugin analyzes your pages and sorts out vital SEO requirements allowing Google can find you.

Daily backups with 1-click restore

Every night, we back up your site — files, databases, everything — and save that version for a month. Do you need to recover a file? It's as easy as clicking a button.

Migrate your existing site

You can move your WordPress site to us with a single click using our auto-migration feature. If you utilise a custom login page, our support team can walk you through the process.

Malware scan and removal

Malware is used by hackers to steal information from your consumers, deface your website, and harm your reputation. Our Website Security (included in the Ultimate and Ecommerce plans) detects and eliminates malware before it may do harm.

SSL Certificates

Browsers and major search engines will mark your site as "Not Secure" if you don't have an SSL certificate set up properly. That implies visitors to your site will notice a warning that will make them want to leave, or, to put it another way, will scare them away. Our Managed SSL Service, thankfully, sets it up correctly and prevents this from happening.

Managed and automated tasks term security.

WordPress is installed and ready on your hosting plan. We back up your site every night and keep it safe by making sure you're running the most recent version of WordPress with all security updates installed.

Tools to get found on Google

Our WordPress search engine optimization (SEO) plugin analyses your pages and takes care of your fundamental SEO requirements so Google can find you.

Frequently Asked Questions about WordPress Hosting:

What is WordPress Hosting?

WordPress hosting is a type of web hosting that’s designed specifically to optimize WordPress websites for speed, performance and security. It pays special attention to WordPress’ technical and security requirements and usually offers a simple, 1-click WordPress installation or migration.

Every website you’ve visited is hosted on a server, a place to store the files comprising the website you see. WordPress Hosting from ELITE uses servers modified to ensure WordPress websites run smoothly. We also take care of pesky software and security updates so you don’t have to. Our WordPress Hosting is the perfect solution for anyone who wants the power and simplicity of WordPress without the hassle of managing technical adjustments. And of course, our award-winning support is available 24/7 to help with any questions you may have.

Should I buy WordPress Hosting?

Well ultimately it comes down to how comfortable you are with managing a website. But even if you’ve handled the install process for a WordPress site before, and you know how to update everything on a regular basis, we make managing WordPress easy. Don’t stress about doing all the heavy lifting and let us do it for you. When it comes down to it, WordPress Hosting just makes your life easier. And isn’t that worth the cost?

What is WordPress used for?

WordPress® is a blog- and web-publishing platform that’s not only easy to use, but recognized the world over as a standard in website creation. With its focus on aesthetics, web standards and usability, WordPress is an open-source platform that lets you manage everything from a small personal blog to a large commercial site with hundreds of pages. Hundreds of thousands of sites trust their online presence to WordPress — and with WordPress Hosting from ELITE, you can, too.

How much does WordPress cost?

WordPress itself is free. What makes ELITE’s WordPress Hosting solution different, is that we handle all that for you. We handle your WordPress installation, sort through updates and keep everything running smoothly, while still ensuring you have wicked-fast speeds.

Can I transfer my WordPress hosting to ELITE?

Yes. You can migrate your site over to ELITE WordPress Hosting in just one click. Either move it to your domain name or put it on a temporary domain, then just do a quick review and you’re ready to publish.

Absolutely. ELITE’s support staff is here all the time. Just give us a call whenever you’ve got a question and we’ll help you out. It’s all a part of the process.

How does your version of WordPress differ from other installations?

It doesn’t. We start you out with the latest version of WordPress, the same one you’d download from WordPress.org. And anytime there’s an update, we install it for you automatically. You never have to hassle with installing another update or worry about running an outdated or compromised version of WordPress.

Do I need to set up my database?

No. With WordPress Hosting, we take care of everything so the process is as easy as possible for you. Once you’ve purchased your plan, you can immediately create your website or start blogging.

After I purchase WordPress Hosting, how do I get started?

Not sure how to create a blog or get started creating your site using WordPress? Don’t worry!

Your hosting plan is seamlessly connected to the latest version of WordPress, so all you need to do is log in and you can start creating a site directly from your control panel. Not sure how to log in? Check “How can I access my WordPress installation?” below.
