Likoma Managed WordPress Hosting

Yet another site moved to managed WordPress hosting and cut the load times in half.

I know, I’m a dork. I get excited about reliable, fast, WordPress hosting. But it’s here and I keep switching clients to it and it’s just good all around.

• Super fast
• Low cost
• Automatic daily backups
• Easy restores
• Super easy migrations (to move from your hosting to this hosting)

If you dealt with hosting companies on a regular basis and clients having their sites disappear and slow-loading servers, no backups, pain-in-the-butt restores (even using fancy plugins like BackupBuddy) and you’ll also be excited about reliable Managed WordPress Hosting.

I work through a reseller, so it’s not like these servers are in our office. They’re with a large company behind the scenes (in fact, it’s not terribly a secret and if you look twice, you’ll recognize the company in a flash), but hey, I get to help out my clients with hopefully a discount in pricing, periodic sales, and you get to manage your own domains, hosting, and administration all in one place with a single login and friendly prices.

Much faster load times, automatic backups, and easy restores.

Want more detail? Here’s plenty.

Speed, scalability & reliability

• Optimized WordPress platform: Built just for WordPress with personalized tweaks from our WordPress experts for maximum performance.
• Dedicated load balanced servers: We distribute web requests across multiple servers so the same amount of work gets done faster and can handle spikes in traffic. And if there’s a problem with one server, your site won’t be affected.
• Massively redundantly SSD-backed file and database servers: Your website, databases and applications load blazing fast with high performance disk servers. Get superior I/O rates and disk access times.
• Multiple caching layers: Your website is enhanced with multiple caching layers for millisecond load times.
• Nightly backups with a 30 day retention time and free restores
• Protection from suspicious bots: We’ve added protection from suspicious bots that like to crawl your site and blast the backend with pointless requests.

Security

• Redundant Web Application Firewalls: Enhanced perimeter protection, with fail-safe to keep traffic flowing should a firewall router fail.
• Redundant DoS/DDoS Mitigation: Increased availability, and keeps traffic flowing during one of the most common attacks.
• Intrusion Detection and Prevention: We monitor and mitigate the network and systems against malicious activity.
• Blacklist for known malicious plugins: To help keep WordPress accounts secure as possible, we blacklist plugins known to cause security and performance issues.
• Brute force login and comment spam prevention: Added security layers to prevent hackers from stealing login credentials, and flooding “comments” with spam.
• Automatic WordPress Core Updates: Our automatic updates make sure you’re always running the latest version of WordPress to reduce vulnerabilities, and stay safe from hackers.
• sFTP/SSH: Securely access and manage files on remote file systems. Encrypt commands and data to prevent passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted unprotected over a network.

Simplicity

• No set up. We do it for you: You’re ready to start building your site in 30 seconds or less.
• Temporary web address: Build your site on the free domain included with our annual plan or start with a temporary domain and decide on the perfect URL later.
• One-click migrations: Easily move your existing WordPress site with our 1-click migration tool.
