WHUK provides a premium Wordpress hosting experience that also takes into consideration your underlying technical needs. Rather than just providing an ordinary Wordpress installation, we’ve also gone the distance to offer components such as:

Varnish Cache and NginxVarnish Cache and Nginx

Varnish and Nginx are used on our Wordpress servers as a way of boosting the performance of all Wordpress websites and allows us to deliver a premium Wordpress experience as standard
Memcache supportMemcache support

Memcache can be used in conjunction with Wordpress to increase the performance of the application by caching information pulled from the database and reducing the number of database calls that need to be made
Daily backupsDaily backups

Bad neighbor isolationBad neighbor isolation

If there is another Wordpress website causing performance issues for you and others, the perpetrator can be isolated away from other sites to allow the issue to be rectified and for normal performance to be restored to the effected websites
Wordpress Plugins
Wordpress Plugins

The functionality of Wordpress can be adapted and added to with plugins. The official Wordpress repository currently contains over 34,000 plugins for a multitude of purposes. The chances are that if there’s something you would like Wordpress to do that isn’t included as part of the core application; you can find a plugin to add that functionality. Developers from the Wordpress who have contributed to the plugin repository have released their creations to be used for free by anyone, anywhere.

If you can find what you want in the plugin repository, or if you’re a keen coder and know some PHP then you can use the extensive Wordpress API to make your own plugins. The API offers various Action Hooks and other features that enable you to create plugins that can access every part of the application, allowing you to develop your Wordpress installation into something that resembles a custom application.

To help you get started, we will provide you with a range of pre-installed plugins to help you along, including: Google XML Sitemaps; Shareaholic; Sweet Captcha; Wordpress SEO; WP-Optimize; WP Super Cache. If you have any other plugins in mind that you would like to use, but aren’t quite sure how to install them then WHUK’s 24x7 support team can do this for you at no extra cost.

Wordpress Themes

If you’re not sure of the design that you want to apply to your Wordpress website, you can take inspiration from the large repository of third-party themes. All of the available themes are made available for use freely by their creators, and you can make whatever adaptations you like so that you can put your own stamp on your website.

The administration panel makes it simple to search for themes and add them to your website so that you don’t have to download them from the Wordpress website and then upload them once more to your web space. This takes the pain out of changing the design of your website and lets you do it in just a few clicks. Want to make a few changes to the design or layout? You can do this through the administration panel as well, again bypassing the need for a desktop application for this purpose.
