Managed WordPress

Managed WordPress hosting. Updated, hardened and backed up for you.

Start WordPress or a WooCommerce shop in one click, or move the site you have. Update core, plugins and themes from one panel, switch on hardening, and get a database backup every night that is also copied off-site — with no server to look after.

Pick WooCommerce and the shop sets itself up: containers, WordPress and the shop plugin, installed with WP-CLI.

Example data

Everything a WordPress site needs, already handled

The routine work of running WordPress, in one panel. You keep full WP Admin.

  • WordPress or WooCommerce in one click

    Name the site and it is created with its own MariaDB database and HTTPS. The WooCommerce template also installs and activates the shop for you.

  • Updates on your terms

    See the WordPress, PHP, plugin and theme versions. Update one at a time with a backup taken first, or let plugins, themes and minor core releases update on their own.

  • Nightly backups, also off-site

    Every site gets a database backup at 03:00 UTC, kept 30 days, which you restore or download from the dashboard. Each night wp-content and the backups are also copied, encrypted, to storage in the EU.

  • Hardening switches

    Block plugin and theme file editing, turn off XML-RPC and keep debug mode off, one switch each. Every site runs in its own containers with reduced privileges.

  • Health checks and admin access

    Check that core and your active plugins match their official releases, and read the debug log. Locked out? Reset the administrator password from the dashboard.

  • Move in, then switch DNS

    Bring a backup plugin file, a cPanel account or an SFTP copy. The site runs on a preview address until you change DNS, then gets HTTPS on your domain.

Backups you restore from the dashboard cover the database. Files in wp-content are in the nightly off-site copy, and our team can restore them from it. There is no separate staging copy of a site.

From one click to your own domain

The same steps the demo above plays. Nothing to install and no server to patch.

  1. Create or move your siteStart WordPress or WooCommerce in one click, or bring the site you have from a backup file, a cPanel account or SFTP.
  2. Check it on its own addressIt answers at <name>.hostingsurge.app with HTTPS first, so you can check it before anyone else does. A moved site stays live on your old host meanwhile.
  3. Point your domainThe dashboard lists which DNS records to change and which to keep for email. Once they resolve, the certificate is issued automatically.

Managed here, or a server you run yourself?

What running WordPress takes on a server of your own, and what the dashboard does instead.

TaskOn a server you runOn Hostingsurge
Setting upInstall PHP, a web server and a database, then WordPressOne click: WordPress and MariaDB with HTTPS, and WooCommerce if you want a shop

Move the site you already have.

Upload a backup from the plugin you use today, or connect cPanel or SFTP. The site runs on a preview URL first, and your current host keeps serving visitors until you switch DNS.

Rather have us do it? Our team can move the site for you and hand it back ready for the DNS switch. Ask for a concierge migration

  • CLI commands for status, updates, hardening, auto-updates, the admin password, health checks and backups
  • WordPress tools on the MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code

WordPress questions

Can I move my existing WordPress site?

Yes. Upload a backup from All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator or UpdraftPlus, or a wp-content archive with a SQL dump. You can also import from a cPanel full-account backup or mirror the site over SFTP or FTP.

What happens to my current site during the move?

Nothing changes for your visitors until you switch DNS. Your current host keeps serving the site while the import runs on a preview URL, and when you are ready, the dashboard shows exactly which DNS records to change and which to keep.

Can you move the site for me?

Yes. Ask for a concierge migration and our team moves the site for you, then hands it back ready for the DNS switch.

How do updates work?

The dashboard shows the WordPress and PHP versions your site runs and which plugins and themes have updates. Update them one at a time, or turn on auto-updates for plugins, themes and minor core releases.

Where is my site hosted?

On Hostingsurge servers in the EU (France), behind a firewall and a hardened proxy with TLS. Each organization’s projects, data and credentials are isolated from every other organization.

Can I run a WooCommerce shop?

Yes. The WooCommerce template creates a WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and activated, and its setup wizard opens on your first visit. Add your own domain before you turn on payments: payment providers call back to the shop’s address.

Are backups included?

Yes. Every WordPress site gets a database backup every night at 03:00 UTC, kept 30 days, which you restore or download from the dashboard. Each night wp-content and those backups are also copied, encrypted, to storage in the EU outside the server; our team can restore files from that copy.

Your WordPress site, without a server to look after.

Start a new site, or move the one you have and check it on a preview URL before you switch DNS.
