What is WordPress Hosting?
Advantages and Differences from Standard Hosting
WordPress hosting is a specialized type of hosting with server configurations optimized for WordPress sites. Unlike standard hosting, caching systems, security rules, and performance settings are tailored specifically for WordPress. This ensures sites load faster, operate more securely, and remain stable under high traffic.
View Performance PlansMeet the Nginx Difference
Traditional Apache servers can experience bottlenecks during high traffic moments. The Nginx architecture we use manages thousands of concurrent connections with minimal resources thanks to its event-driven structure.
Added to this, OPcache technology keeps your PHP code ready in memory instead of recompiling it every time. Result: Pages that load in milliseconds.
- Redis Object Cache Integration
- PHP Acceleration with OPcache
- High Traffic Management with Nginx
Expert Tip: If your site is in the growth stage, optimized WordPress hosting should be preferred over standard services; you can also check our guide on what is web hosting for more details.
Server Response Time (TTFB)

Triple Performance Layer
Disk speed alone isn't enough; we've combined the best technologies at the software layer too.
Nginx Web Server
With Nginx, the choice of the world's highest-traffic sites, your static content is served at lightning speed, reducing server load.
Redis Object Cache
Your database queries are kept in memory (RAM). Thus, WordPress doesn't strain the database for every visitor, and content is delivered instantly.
PHP OPcache
Your PHP scripts are stored as pre-compiled bytecode. Code processing time is eliminated, maximizing processor efficiency.
WordPress Hosting Explained
WordPress Hosting is a professional hosting solution where server configurations specific to the CMS (Nginx rules, PHP worker settings) are defined by default.
While configuring Redis or OPcache on standard hosting requires technical knowledge, these technologies come ready for your site in HostedFly WordPress packages. This ensures resource-intensive e-commerce sites like WooCommerce run without lagging.
WordPress-Centric Security
Our WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules are specific to WordPress. XML-RPC attacks, Brute-Force attempts, and suspicious bots are blocked at the server level.
Instant Installation
Install WordPress in minutes with Softaculous integration. Start broadcasting without the hassle of creating databases or uploading files.
CMS Expert Support
Our support team is familiar not only with server access but also with WordPress errors, plugin conflicts, and performance issues.
Managed Service
Don't get bogged down in technical details. Updates, backups, and security patches are managed automatically in the background.
While you focus on your content, our Nginx and Redis infrastructure ensures your site remains fast and accessible 24/7.
Use Cases
- WooCommerce Stores (Fast cart experience)
- News and Blog Sites (Instant high traffic)
- Corporate Websites (Prestige and security)
Who is WordPress Hosting Suitable For?
Every project can be hosted on standard plans, but some require the extra power provided by WordPress Hosting.

| Target Audience | Developers and Diverse Web Projects | Blogs, E-Commerce, and Corporate WP Sites |
What to Consider When Choosing WordPress Hosting?
For the right performance, look for these technical criteria in package specifications:
Server-Side Cache
It's not enough to just have "Cache." Ensure there is a hardware-level mechanism like Redis and Nginx FastCGI integrated into the architecture.
PHP Worker Count
This determines how many dynamic requests your site can handle simultaneously. High worker counts ensure uninterrupted service during traffic peaks.
NVMe Disk Structure
New generation NVMe disks should be used to maximize database speed. Learn what is NVMe storage and why it outperforms standard SSDs.
Free SSL & HTTP/3
Security and speed combined. HTTP/3 accelerates data transmission while free SSL protects user data with end-to-end encryption.
Advanced DDoS Protection
Protect your site against malicious attacks and bot traffic. Our server-level filtering system instantly distinguishes real visitors from attack traffic.
Expert WordPress Support
Support is not just about server uptime; having an expert team by your side for plugin conflicts and optimization is critical.
Google Core Web Vitals and SEO
Google places great importance on Core Web Vitals metrics (LCP, FID, CLS) that measure user experience. Nginx's speed in serving static files and Redis reducing database response time directly boost your SEO scores.
- Low TTFB (Time to First Byte)
- Mobile Compatibility and Speed
- Fast Indexing
Frequently Asked Questions
Nginx is much more performant than Apache, especially under high traffic. It consumes less memory and handles large numbers of concurrent requests smoothly. This means faster response times for your WordPress site.
Redis is a technology that keeps database queries in memory. For example, when a visitor enters your site, the query is saved; the next visitor gets a response directly from memory without going to the database. This speeds up your site incredibly.
Yes, our technical team migrates your site to our Nginx infrastructure free of charge, without data loss or downtime.
Absolutely. Using Redis is the most effective method for solving slowness issues on WooCommerce cart and checkout pages.
