SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GoDaddy Inc.
(NYSE: GDDY), the world's largest cloud platform dedicated to
small, independent ventures, today announced the launch of Pro
Managed WordPress, a new hosting platform designed specifically for
WordPress web professionals. Pro Managed WordPress bundles together
high-performance and highly-reliable hosting, with end-to-end
security, and the essential tools necessary to efficiently manage
multiple clients and websites. This complete solution for WordPress
professionals includes Pro Advanced Care, a new WordPress-centric
24/7 expert customer support service.
GoDaddy introduced its first WordPress hosting product three
years ago, and today the company is the largest WordPress host
globally, serving over four million sites. GoDaddy has been working
closely with its GoDaddy Pro Program community, a group consisting
of over two hundred thousand web professionals. Based on the
feedback from the Pro Program and our in-house WordPress
experts.
The Pro Managed WordPress Solution includes:
- Modern Platform: The new hosting architecture employs a
containerized, isolated environment for every site using the latest
technologies for enhanced performance, scalability and
security.
- High Performance hosting: Pro Managed WordPress was
designed to make WordPress sites load fast. PHP7, HTTP/2, CDN image cache by Sucuri, multiple
layers of caching, everything a hosting platform needs to make
WordPress sites load fast. The containerized environment means each
site has its own dedicated resources and automatically scales so
sites run at optimum speed even during heavy traffic and resource
spikes.
- Highly Reliable: 99.9% uptime with built-in redundancy
that will recover a website if it goes down. If there's ever a
server issue, GoDaddy will automatically move a site to a new
container, ensuring reliable uptime.
- Secure by default: Free SSL is automatically installed
on every domain so customers' sites are protected from the get-go.
Sucuri monitoring stops malware before it penetrates the site and
prevent DDoS attacks with the optional paid Website Security
Firewall (WAF).
- Pro-Ready Features: Every site includes one-click
staging for testing new features, SSH access, dedicated web cache,
on-demand and scheduled backups with one-click restore for up to 90
days of backups. Customers also have the option to defer WordPress
core updates for 30 days to insure ample time for testing client
sites.
"Web pros tell us that the most frustrating and time consuming
part of their job is the administrative work, and that they
struggle to juggle all of their clients' websites," said
Gabe Mays, Product Manager of
WordPress at GoDaddy. "Pro Managed WordPress streamlines client
site maintenance and allows these developers and designers to build
and manage safe and reliable sites for their clients, all through
one central solution."
To help with these administrative tasks, Pro Managed WordPress
includes access to the Pro Program, a set of rewards and tools
designed specifically web professionals. The Pro Program
includes:
- Pro Sites: Best-in-class multi-site management tools,
including one-click WordPress updates for themes and plugins, site
cloning and migrations, real-time performance, security and uptime
monitoring.
- Pro Clients: Streamlined client management tools that
simplify management of client product purchases and client
invoicing.
- Pro Rewards: A rewards program that includes exclusive
discounts and in store cash credit for purchases.
