WordPress Hosting FAQs
Do I need technical knowledge to run WordPress here?
Not at all. WordPress is designed to be beginner-friendly, and our hosting makes it even easier. You can install WordPress in a couple of clicks, and everything else — files, databases, email and SSL — is managed from the familiar cPanel dashboard. If you ever get stuck, our UK support team is on hand 24/7.
How do I install WordPress?
You can install WordPress in just a couple of clicks using the Softaculous app installer built into cPanel — no manual database setup or file uploads required. Softaculous also handles one-click updates and lets you spin up a staging copy of your site to test changes safely.
Will my WordPress site be fast?
Yes. Our servers run the LiteSpeed Web Server with its native LiteSpeed Cache plugin, delivering full-page in-memory caching that makes WordPress load noticeably faster than standard Apache hosting. Combined with NVMe SSD storage and account-resource isolation, your site stays quick even under load.
Can you migrate my existing WordPress site for free?
We can. Our UK migration team will move your WordPress site, its database and your emails across from your current host completely free of charge, usually on the same day and with no downtime. Just choose a plan and submit a migration request from your client area — we’ll take it from there and can organise your domain transfer too.
Is my WordPress site kept secure?
Security is built into every plan. You get free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, Imunify360 continually scanning for and blocking malware, brute-force protection on wp-login, and full account isolation. JetBackup also takes automatic daily backups so you can restore your site in a click if anything ever goes wrong.
Can I use my own themes and plugins?
Absolutely. This is standard, self-managed WordPress hosting, so you have full control to install any theme or plugin you like — free or premium — and to edit code, add custom post types and manage your own updates. Nothing is locked down.
Do you support WooCommerce and online stores?
Yes. WooCommerce runs perfectly on our WordPress hosting. The LiteSpeed stack, NVMe storage and free SSL give your store fast, secure, PCI-friendly foundations, and you can scale up to a larger plan as your catalogue and traffic grow.
Can I move up to a bigger plan later?
Of course. You can upgrade your WordPress hosting plan at any time from your client area as your site grows, and our team can advise on the right tier — or on a VPS — if you need more resources. There’s no need to migrate away to scale up.
