What are the Main WordPress VIP Features and Benefits?
Fully Managed WordPress Hosting
For two decades, WordPress has been the open-source CMS of choice for websites all over the world.
In its first years, some IT departments elected to host WordPress websites on-premises (on-prem). Soon after, hosting providers were offering “bare” hosting plans that offered small businesses the benefits of using WordPress without the layers of necessary hosting considerations. These “bare” hosting plans may still be suitable for WordPress websites with limited storage and functionality needs. They provide the fundamental hosting services required to run a WordPress website. The increasingly complex responsibilities of testing and deploying WordPress updates, updating server asset configurations to meet increasing demand, assessing plug-in vulnerabilities, maximizing caching mechanisms and content delivery networks (CDNs) for optimal performance, and more has made on-prem hosting and “bare” hosting impractical for enterprise businesses.
Today’s enterprise businesses that want to deploy all the advantages of WordPress with unparalleled security, scalability, intelligence, and performance require next-level hosting services. Enterprise WordPress hosting from WordPress VIP provides the leading-edge option for today's most successful businesses.
Security and Compliance
Because of the large market share (over 40%) of the world’s websites on WordPress, it is a platform that is highly targeted by bad actors. WordPress VIP’s extensive security measures and infrastructure are designed to provide peace-of-mind for enterprise businesses, managing risk, threats, security, protection, and compliance. WordPress VIP documentation includes an expansive and transparent section focused on security.
24/7 Support
Platform support from WordPress VIP provides 24/7 access to the knowledge, experience, and help from a deep roster of support engineers all across the globe. Confidence of enterprise clients on WordPress VIP is affirmed by service-level agreements (SLAs) that include 99.99% uptime and industry-leading response times for support.
Security and Performance Features
WordPress VIP is confident its enterprise-grade WordPress security is consistently maintained at the world’s highest level. It is the only WordPress managed solution that has achieved FedRAMPⓇ Authority to Operate (ATO).
Multi-Layered Security Controls and Protection
WordPress VIP prioritizes security controls and protection at every level of their enterprise solutions and services. Multi-layered security, including edge protection, secure networking, access controls, continuous security monitoring, code scanning, and more ensure maximum protection against potential threats. Leading brands within security-focused and highly-regulated industries like banking, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, software, government, and public utilities are among WordPress VIP’s trusting clients.
WordPress VIP features a read-only file system that prevents bad actors from writing malicious files to the server.
Vulnerability Management and Regular Security Testing
Security vulnerabilities within WordPress can occur when there is a lapse in platform updates. WordPress VIP continuously monitors for security patches and gives leading brands peace of mind of knowing all platform updates are tested and deployed without fail. Proactive, rigorous, and regularly-scheduled internal security testing, third-party vulnerability audits, and penetration assessments at WordPress VIP anticipate and remedy digital threats before performance can be impacted.
