Managed WordPress

WordPress in one click. Updates, backups and hardening in one place.

Start a new WordPress site or bring your existing one. Update core, plugins and themes, schedule backups you can restore, and put your own domain on it with automatic SSL — without a server to look after.

One-click setupScheduled backupsAutomatic SSLHosted in the EU

Everything your site needs, in one dashboard.

Create the site, then keep it updated, backed up and hardened with a few clicks — no server access needed.

A new site in one click

Give it a name and the site is created with its own database and HTTPS. Then finish the WordPress setup in WP Admin.

Updates on your terms

See which versions are out of date and update core, plugins and themes one at a time. Or turn on auto-updates for plugins, themes and minor core releases.

Database backups with restore

Back up the site’s database on a schedule or right before a big change, and restore any backup from the dashboard.

Hardening switches

Block plugin and theme file editing, turn off XML-RPC and keep debug mode off, each with a single switch.

Health checks and admin access

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

Your domain with SSL

Connect your own domain with the exact DNS records to add. Certificates are issued automatically.

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.

  1. Upload a backup or connect your hostWe analyze the source first and show what will be created. Nothing changes on your old site.
  2. Check it on a preview URLThe imported site runs on Hostingsurge while your current host keeps serving visitors.
  3. Switch DNS when it looks rightThe dashboard shows exactly which records to change and which to keep. SSL is issued automatically.

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.
