FAQs:

What is managed WordPress hosting?

Managed WordPress hosting is a hosting plan that includes some basic website management tasks such as plugin updates and regular backups. We have put a detailed article together about this topic which you can view here.

Why do I need managed WordPress hosting?

WordPress websites use something called ‘plugins’ to add additional features and functionalities to your site. Almost every single WordPress website uses at least a couple of plugins to add contact forms, maps, social media feeds and other features to your site. These plugins need to be updated regularly – not updating them is a security risk and can lead to your website getting hacked. If you are not logging into your website and updating the plugins regularly, then you should consider getting a hosting plan that includes a plugin update service.

How do I migrate my WordPress website to WP Sparks?

We can take care of that for you – you’ll simply need to provide us with login details for your existing hosting provider and website and we will ensure that the website and all of its contents are migrated across to your new WP Sparks hosting account. You can learn more about migrating a WordPress website here.

How does WordPress hosting work?

The WP Sparks hosting environment has been built specifically to host WordPress websites. Using a hosting service dedicated to WordPress websites ensures your site can run optimally, with efficiencies in speed and page load time that you won’t see with other hosting providers. For more information on how hosting works, check out our article WordPress hosting for beginners here.

How much does WordPress hosting cost?

WP Sparks offers some of the most competitive pricing options for WordPress hosting, starting at just $35/month. We also offer two free months when you pay for your hosting annually. Find more information about our hosting packages and pricing here.

Is WordPress hosting my site?

No, WordPress is not hosting your website. WordPress does partner with some hosting providers, however they are third party hosting providers. WordPress does host personal blogs, but if you wish to have a business website with a business domain name then you will need to organise a website hosting account.

Does WP Sparks provide WordPress hosting with SSL certification?

Yes. While many other hosting companies charge an additional fee for your SSL certification, we include it as standard with all of our website hosting packages.

Can I set up a staging / testing environment with WP Sparks?

Yes. Your hosting package comes with 3 environments – one for live, and two for staging / development, so that you can make updates or test new plugins without affecting your live website.

Do you provide email hosting?

No, WP Sparks does not provide email hosting. Our servers are optimised to host WordPress websites and nothing else. You will need to organise your own email hosting, however our team can assist you in setting up business email through Google’s Gsuite if required.
