WordPress Managed Hosting
Hardened WordPress hosting with the Inks editor built in.
Managed WordPress hosting from Merchant Foundry. Locked-down servers, updates handled for you, daily backups, and the Inks visual section editor preinstalled on every site.
What it does
Managed Hosting in detail
Locked down by default
File editing and plugin installs are disabled in the admin, so no one can drop code onto your server through WordPress. Changes ship through our deploy pipeline instead.
Inks preinstalled
Every hosted site includes Inks, our Shopify-style section editor, with editor permissions tuned so your team gets the full experience without server access.
Updates handled for you
Core, theme, and plugin updates are tested and deployed by us. You never click an update button or wonder whether it broke something.
Backups and rollbacks
Daily off-site backups with point-in-time restores. If a change goes wrong, we roll it back.
Performance tuned
Server-side caching, image optimisation, and a CDN in front. We watch Core Web Vitals so you do not have to.
A human on the other end
Hosting comes with support from the people who build the sites. No ticket queue that routes you to a script.
How it works
From install to live
We audit your current site and agree on a migration window.
We move the site, configure the hardened stack, and install Inks.
Your team gets an editor walkthrough and the keys to publish.
We monitor, update, and back up from then on.
Managed hosting is the platform our own client sites run on. It exists because a marketing site should be safe to edit and boring to operate. Editors get a modern, visual tool. Servers stay locked so that nothing can be installed or modified from inside WordPress. Updates, backups, and monitoring are our job.
Who it’s for
Built for
- Brands whose WordPress site is a marketing channel, not a side project.
- Agencies that want a hardened host for the sites they build.
- Teams who have been burned by a plugin update taking the site down.
FAQ
Managed Hosting FAQ
What does the hosting run on?
A managed WordPress stack we operate for you, with PHP 8.x, server-level caching, and a CDN. We choose and maintain the infrastructure so you do not have to evaluate hosts.
Can I still install plugins?
Plugin installs through the WordPress admin are disabled on purpose. Send us the plugin you need and we review and deploy it through the pipeline, which keeps the server safe and the change reversible.
How does migration work?
We copy the site to the new stack, test it against the live version, and switch DNS during a window you choose. Typical downtime is a few minutes or none.
How is pricing structured?
A flat monthly fee per site that includes hosting, updates, backups, Inks, and support. Get in touch and we will quote for your site.
