Fully Managed WordPress Hosting


Leave everything to us!
WP MAX websites are fully managed: most importantly, we’ll take care of updating your WordPress install (within an hour of a new release of WordPress) and all your plugins (within 3 hours of a plugin update being released). We’ll also make sure that everything works correctly after WordPress or one of your plugins is updated.

  • WordPress updates
  • Plugin updates
  • Theme updates
  • Deleting spam comments
  • Daily database optimisation
  • CSS minification
  • Javascript minification
  • Cleaning up old post revisions

Extreme Security

We take security very seriously, and make use of a number of open-source, premium and home-brewed security measures to keep your WordPress MAX site safe from hackers.
To make sure that nothing has slipped past, we also scan your entire website every day for malware.

Exploit Scanner

Our Exploit Scanner scans every file uploaded to your WP MAX website for viruses, trojans and malware. Dangerous files are immediately quarantined safely away from your website so that we can investigate.

Mod_Security

Mod_Security is an application firewall. Our custom implementation of Mod_security is specifically tailored for WordPress websites, and increases security by monitoring HTTP traffic in real time, detecting and preventing attacks before they reach your website.

Firewall and LFD

All WP MAX servers have Firewalls, Login Failure Detectors and other software installed to prevent hackers from breaking into your website through brute-force attacks on passwords and other methods of gaining access.

Other

We also implement a number of other security measures which we don’t make public. These measures include changes to your WordPress files and database, and modifications of the servers’ operating system and file structure.

Multiple Daily Backups


Backup servers in Switzerland
An automated backup process on every WP MAX server makes a backup of your WordPress database every 6 hours and then sends it to an offsite server in Switzerland for safe storage.
   These backups are stored for a week, so you will be able to roll your website back to any one of 28 backups made over the past week, should you “break” something.
In addition to database backups, your website’s files, including your theme, plugins and uploaded images, are backed up and stored offsite once every 12 hours.

Premium Themes and Plugins

WP MAX accounts have full access to our Premium Theme Library, which has themes from

and other theme designers, available to you at no extra cost.

WP MAX accounts also have access to our collection of premium WordPress plugins, including the awesome WP Ad Center and GravityForms plugins.

Search Engine Optimisation

We will install, configure and monitor a SEO plugin to ensure that your WP MAX website is fully optimised for search engines. This includes generating and submitting sitemaps to Google, Yahoo and Bing and monitoring your site using Google Webmaster and other tools.

Website Optimisation

We will ensure that your website is running as fast as it possibly can by optimising the PHP code, CSS and javascript it uses. This also includes checking and optimising the perfomance of the plugins you’ve installed and the size and quality of the images you use.

WordPress-optimised Servers

WP MAX servers are optimised for hosting WordPress sites. They have huge amounts of RAM and robust multi-core processors and run advanced software including Nginx, APC, Fastcgi and Varnish, all tweaked and tuned to get your website running as fast as possible.
WP MAX accounts are hosted on two separate servers: a database server and a file-server, to improve performance even more.

All the resources your site needs, with room to grow

Unlimited Bandwidth

WP MAX accounts have access to unlimited bandwidth, so you never have to worry about your website being suspended (or being charged for overages!) if you experience a surge in visitors.

25 GB Diskspace

This is more than enough space for even the largest websites. Most accounts use less than 10% of this, but if you need more we can increase your allocation for just a few Rand per GB.

Dedicated RAM

Unlike most hosting platforms, where it’s possible for one account to hog all the server’s resources, your WP MAX account doesn’t have to share the RAM allocated to it with any other account.

Dedicated CPU

WP MAX accounts don’t have to share CPU resources either. Your account has a dedicated allocation of the processors’ resources which it doesn’t have to share with other accounts on the server.

Akamai CDN

If required, we can setup your WordPress website to use the global Akamai Content Delivery Network through Rackspace CloudFiles for only R20 per month.

SA and UK servers available

WP MAX servers are available in Cape Town and London.
Tokyo (Japan) and New York will be added soon.

10 Email Accounts

We don’t run email on our WP MAX servers because of the server resources hogged by spam filtering and email processing and delivery.

When you order a WP MAX account, we will setup Google Apps for your domain, which will allow you to create up to 10 free email accounts using your domain, each with 7GB of storage and unbeatable spam filtering.

You will be able to access your emails using your current email software (Outlook, Thunderbird etc) or a Gmail interface.

Specialist WordPress Support

Everyone at Texo has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of WordPress. We are able to help you with any WordPress support and advice you might need.
