Laughing Squid Hosting has partnered with our friends at Pressable to offer Managed WordPress, a hosting service highly optimized for WordPress that features increased performance, scalability, and security over our traditional Cloud Sites hosting.
Our Managed WordPress includes bandwidth, so you are only charged for your monthly visits. It also includes Rackspace Email, daily backups, SSL with a free Let’s Encrypt certificate, server level caching, a built-in CDN, Jetpack, and many other great features.
If you are interested in having us migrate your website to Managed WordPress (there is no charge for migration), please submit the appropriate form to start the process.
