Managed wordpress hosting?

[Bikerjon]

Does anyone have any recommendations for proper managed wordpress hosting? I'm parting ways with a customer and want to set them on the right track before I stop doing their maintenance for them.

To be clear I'm not interested in the cheap as chips 3 quid a month jobbies where you have to do everything yourself. I want a hosting company to take care of everything relating to the wordpress site - core, plugin and theme updates, decent security, backups, certificates etc. There are some very impressive options at the top end but that's going to be overkill in this situation as it's a relatively small site.

Siteground

Yes, Siteground is a good suggestion. Not sure if they will do theme updates though but will check.

Hi Bikerjon.

I supply managed WordPress hosting with updates/minor changes etc included. I actually host a few for members on here. We run our own cloud server and focus on quality and speed rather than making money from cramming hundreds on sites on an under powered web server. Each cloud server only has a maximum of 50 sites running of it.

Contact details in my profile if you want to get in touch.

Thanks Hantsrat, will probably go with Siteground on this occasion as it should do most of what I need and I already have a reseller acct with them. Will keep your service in mind though.

The issue with Wordpress updates is checking the site afterwards, any eejit can fire off the updates but you need to check afterwards that nothing's borked, forms still work etc.
