Business owners today must stay attuned to their highly tech-savvy audience. While having a physical office, store or location is important, it also pays to broaden your horizon and set up your unique presence in the virtual realm as well. The Internet gives businesses greater opportunities to communicate and interact with their customers, promote their offerings, and close sales that weren’t possible several decades ago. So to stay in the loop and to optimize every possible opportunity to advance your business, having your own website is an absolute must, too.
Of course, while you can build your own website from scratch thanks to helpful, easy-to-use platforms, nothing beats having expert help in terms of equipping your site with the best capabilities to boost your business. This is the reason why many business and website owners opt to hire professionals who offer managed WordPress hosting.
Managed WordPress hosting, simply put, is a concierge service provided by many Web hosting providers today that takes care of the technical aspects of running WordPress. The areas such as security, speed, updates to the WordPress core, uptime, daily backups, scalability, and plugin compatibility are covered by this service.
What you get out of this service is a completely hassle-free experience, giving you more time to focus on actually running the business instead of constantly tinkering with the website (especially if you have little to no knowledge of website matters).
What advantages can you expect from managed (and noticeably fast) WordPress hosting?
If you are a small business owner or the owner of a high-traffic website, paying a substantial fee for managed WordPress hosting makes sense and will prove to be a smart investment (compared to paying a system administrator to run a website) thanks to the following advantages:
No downtime. Every minute of downtime translates to lost opportunities and profits for you. But if your website is always up and running well no matter how much traffic its gets, you stand to gain so much more.
Greater speeds. Because the servers utilized in managed WordPress hosting are designed specifically for WordPress, there won’t be any problems with slow loading times and functions. Daily backups. Your website and information are kept safe with daily backups in the event of an emergency.
Improved security. With managed services, your website will receive a much tighter layer of security to scan for malware and block all attempts at hacking.
Automatic updates. You won’t have to concern yourself with manually updating the website as they will now be completed automatically.
Reliable support. Your managed hosting providers will be fully trained and highly knowledgeable in addressing all related issues and will ensure that your site is optimally equipped to meet your business goals. They can make recommendations, offer advice and perform prompt and effective troubleshooting so that your site is always kept in tip-top shape.
