Is Your Online Home Sitting Atop a Solid Foundation?
The answer might surprise you.
Many business owners pay close attention to the details of web design and Internet marketing but treat web hosting as an afterthought. However, having your pages stored on the right servers can improve performance and security at a very low cost. Choose the wrong hosting platform to save a few dollars, on the other hand, and your business could suffer in several different ways.
Brew City Marketing offers fully-managed WordPress Hosting Services that are fast, secure, and backed by dedicated high-performance servers. It’s the ultimate way to get more from your WordPress website. Best of all, it won’t break the budget and we’ll handle all the details.
If you’re wondering whether Managed WordPress Hosting is right for you,
here’s what you need to know.
Dedicated Hosting Means Faster, More Reliable Performance
Taking advantage of our dedicated servers means your business isn’t sharing disk space with hundreds of other companies, many of which might be susceptible to spam, viruses, or other issues that can affect your own website. Plus, we use the industry’s best technology, including a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and a server cache. That means your website loads quickly and reliably, every single time.
Customers and search engine spiders like websites that are fast and always available. Why miss out on valuable traffic because of a server that’s too slow or crowded?
Slow websites frustrate users and push them right where you don’t want them to be: into the waiting arms of your competitors. Online, speed is everything. Not only do visitors abandon slow websites, Google even penalizes websites that take too long to load. As part of our ongoing performance ops, we’ll regularly monitor your website’s performance to keep it running clean and lean.
Your WordPress Site Is More Secure on Our Servers
As the world’s most popular content management platform, WordPress tends to be very stable and secure. However, hackers and thieves are always looking for new security exploits, which is why the underlying software needs to be continuously updated. When you opt for Managed WordPress Hosting through Brew City Marketing, we ensure WordPress is always up-to-date.
Your website’s visitors care about internet security just as much as you do, which is why all it takes is one software virus or malware infection to permanently ruin any chance you have with them. Our support team can help keep your business site free of malicious software that can ruin its presence and performance. We monitor your website to ensure there hasn’t been any unauthorized access to your control panel, and that your pages and plug-ins are virus-free with our 24/7 Site Surveillance Service.
Owning your own business is stressful enough—you shouldn’t have to stress about website security holes and hackers too. And, with our round-the-clock security monitoring, you don’t have to. Our 24/7 site surveillance includes:
- Monthly security audits
- Malware scanning and quarantine
- Infection cleanup
That means you can enjoy the peace of mind you deserve.
We’ll Keep You Covered in an Emergency
Because we know you want to protect the investment you’ve made in your custom web presence, we include daily backups on a third-party server in our managed WordPress hosting services plans. So, in the unlikely event anything ever happens to our systems, we’ll have an extra copy of your website ready to restore your pages exactly as they were, and with no waiting.
It’s easy to overlook the value of premium managed WordPress hosting services, but it costs next to nothing to improve your web performance, protect your website from hackers, and get the insurance you need in case of an emergency.

WordPress Hosting Services FAQs
To learn more about Managed WordPress Hosting or to talk to us about signing up, call 414-208-0700 or schedule a consultation today. We’ll discuss your hosting needs, answer your questions about hosting, or get you set up right away
We offer email hosting to our clients for $50/email address/year. If you need help configuring Google Workspace, Outlook, cellphone and tablet email settings, or more, a custom quote will be provided once we know your needs.
If you choose the regular hosting plan and then decide it isn’t working for you, yes, there is a cost associated with migrating your website – $300. However, we make switching easy. We’ll do everything behind the scenes to minimize the potential for problems or downtime.
If you’re lucky, nothing. If you’re a typical commercial website owner, however, a lot. Your website could be attacked maliciously and control assumed by an unknown third party. That third party could take your website down and surreptitiously add malicious code, or try to gain sensitive information about you, your business, or your customers. You also don’t want a slow website or, worse, a timed out connection due to the server being overloaded with too many websites and traffic!
The short answer is no, you do not have to. If you use another service to host your site, we cannot force you to switch. But be aware that if your website has any issues that would have been prevented with managed WordPress hosting, it will be your responsibility to either resolve the matter on your own (which includes calling and coordinating with your web host’s customer service) or to pay us to do so (at an hourly billable rate of $90 per hour).
Our current rate for full-service, managed WordPress hosting is $59 per month. That compares to $29 per month for our standard website hosting.
We know that this can seem like a considerable cost increase, but when you consider how much time and money it can take to troubleshoot and fix a website after it has been compromised, the cost difference is negligible. Website maintenance fees can range anywhere from $50 to $125 per hour, and it can take days to get a hacked or damaged website back online.
It all depends on a few factors. Specifically:
- What platform is your website built on (WordPress or something else)
- How likely your website is to be the target of an attack
- How important is it that your website be accessible
If you have a WordPress hobby blog that’s just for friends and family, paying extra to keep your blog safe probably isn’t a priority. However, if you have a business website that you need up-and-running in order to sell your business, keeping your website safe from being targeted by exploits is exceptionally important.
Managed WordPress hosting is more expensive than standard hosting because it requires purchasing and partitioning servers that will only be used for WordPress hosting and nothing else. That means additional hardware, technology, and technical service costs over cheaper hosting services. In addition, our WordPress hosting services provide many extra levels of security that result in the much smaller chance of your site being hacked or compromised than cheap hosting plans.
In not-so-technical terms, it comes down to using dedicated servers that are configured specifically for WordPress websites. Typically, a WordPress website that is hosted on a dual-purpose server would need to be manually configured (and possibly the server too) to deal with plugin conflicts, security threats and the like. As the popularity of WordPress has grown, so too have security threats, and these manual configurations can lead to security holes that are hard to predict or detect.
Managed WordPress hosting is premium hosting designed specifically for websites that use the WordPress platform. For the most part, it focuses on providing greater security for WordPress websites and for dealing with all of the backend tasks related to running on WordPress. The nice thing is that in doing so, it offers quite a few benefits for WordPress site owners over traditional hosting services, including:
- Virtually hacker-proof websites
- Increased website speeds
- Automatic security updates
- Increased compatibility (so fewer problems related to plugin conflicts and database corruption)
- Less downtime (due to both security issues and during site redesigns)
