Included on every plan
You're not assembling hosting from parts. Every plan includes the tooling that keeps a production site fast, recoverable and observable.
Its own OS, database, PHP workers and Redis. No other customer's site shares your stack.
Every production deploy is rehearsed on a copy of your live site and tested first. If anything fails, it rolls back automatically.
Daily backups, plus an automatic restore point before every update, deploy and restore.
Clone production on demand. Staging deletes itself when you're done, so you never pay for an idle copy.
Single-use login links straight into wp-admin. No shared passwords to pass around.
CPU, memory, PHP workers, database, Redis and request rate — with the logs next to them.
CDN, DDoS protection and SSL at the edge in front of every site.
Send through WordPlay Mail from your own domain. Included allowance, metered above it.
Ask about sales, checkout and server health. Changes are proposed and never applied to production unseen.
Dedicated vs shared
Most hosts sell traffic charts and share one machine between hundreds of sites. We sell servers, and we tell you what kind of CPU is behind each one.
| Typical shared hosting | WordPlay Starter | WordPlay dedicated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whose server | One server, hundreds of sites | Yours alone | Yours alone |
| CPU | A shared pool | Shared vCPU | Dedicated vCPU, reserved for you |
| Other sites' traffic spikes | Slow you down | Can contend for CPU | Don't affect your vCPU |
| Priced by | Visits and soft limits | CPU, RAM, storage | CPU, RAM, storage |
| Deploys | Push and hope | Rehearsed, with rollback | Rehearsed, with rollback |
Questions
The CPU cores your server uses are reserved for it, not shared with other customers' bursts. Your checkout doesn't slow down because a neighbour had a traffic spike. Starter runs on shared vCPU: still your own server, but its CPU can contend with others.
Yes. Starter gets its own server with its own operating system, database, PHP workers and Redis. The only difference from the dedicated plans is that its vCPUs are shared. We say so on the plan, in your dashboard and on the invoice.
No. We don't price by visits. Plans are sized by CPU, RAM and storage, so if you outgrow one you move up a plan instead of fighting a soft throttle.
US plans run in New York, San Francisco or Atlanta. Canadian plans run in Montréal or Toronto. You choose the region when you create the site.
Dedicated vCPU in Canada costs us more to run than in the US. Starter is the same $99 in both.
Production deploys are rehearsed on a copy of your site and tested before they touch the live one. We take a restore point first, and if verification fails afterwards we roll back automatically.
Yes. Change plan from your dashboard; billing is prorated.
Yes — start a migration and we'll scope it with you.
