Turbo Hosting

Managed WordPress hosting means your hosting provider handles all the technical aspects of running WordPress, automatic core, plugin, and theme updates, daily backups, server-level caching, security monitoring, and performance optimisation. You focus entirely on building your site and creating content. 365i's managed WordPress hosting includes all of this plus a full WordPress toolkit in your control panel for managing themes, plugins, users, and staging environments without logging into wp-admin.

By default, every new 365i WordPress hosting account is provisioned on our UK data centres, so your site files, MySQL database, daily backups, and email all stay on UK soil under UK GDPR. If your audience is based in the US or APAC, you can choose US or Singapore data centres at signup. The CDN is global and serves cached assets from the nearest edge, but the origin remains in the region you pick. We are the data processor; you remain the data controller, and a GDPR Data Processing Agreement is available at 365i.co.uk/legal/gdpr-data-processing-agreement/.

365i support runs 7 days a week, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. Most replies come between early morning and late evening UK time. We are a UK-based team, so you get real people speaking British English (no outsourced helpdesk and no scripted bots), and we will jump on Zoom or AnyDesk to fix things together when it is faster than tickets. Separately, our data-centre infrastructure is monitored 24/7 by on-site technicians, so the platform itself never goes unwatched.

WordPress hosting at 365i starts from £5.99/month for the Personal plan, with Premium at £8.99/month, Business at £14.99/month, and Turbo at £30.00/month. All prices exclude VAT. Every plan is just £1 for the first month, and there's no contract, so you can cancel any time. Plans include free SSL, daily backups, and a one-click WordPress installer as standard.

Yes, and we test before the release ships. WordPress 7.0 launched at 17:00 UTC on 20 May 2026. We'd already run every beta and release candidate through to RC5 on two of our own production-mirror sites in the 24 hours before launch. Several hundred sites on our platform moved from 6.9.x to 7.0 via WordPress core's own auto-update mechanism in the hours after release. In the five days that followed, the helpdesk handled DNS, URL redirect, and domain-transfer queries. Zero tickets about WP7 itself. You can also enable automatic plugin and theme updates from your WordPress toolkit, and on Business and Turbo plans you can test any update in a staging environment first before pushing to live.

Yes. You can install any plugin or theme from the official WordPress repository, or upload premium plugins and themes purchased elsewhere. We only restrict a very small number of plugins that conflict with our server-level caching or security systems. WooCommerce, Elementor, Yoast SEO, and all other popular plugins work without issue.

A staging environment is a private copy of your live WordPress site where you can safely test changes, new plugins, theme updates, design changes, or code modifications, without affecting your visitors. When you're happy with the changes, you can push them live with one click. Staging is included on every WordPress hosting plan.

Yes. Every WordPress hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate that is automatically installed and renewed. Your site will load over HTTPS from day one with no manual configuration required. This is essential for SEO, visitor trust, and Google ranking. Wildcard SSL certificates are also available if you need to secure multiple subdomains.

We take automatic daily backups of your entire WordPress site, files, database, emails, and configuration. Backups are retained for up to 30 days and you can restore your full site or individual components with one click from your hosting dashboard. You don't need any backup plugins, it's all handled at the server level.

Both take automatic daily snapshots that you can roll back with a single click. Timeline Backup, included on the Premium plan, covers your website files and databases with 30-day retention. Timeline Backup Pro, included on the Business plan, does everything standard does and adds three things: your email mailboxes are backed up too, database retention is extended to 60 days, and you get mailbox restore options (you can restore a mailbox to a temporary address first and then sync it back). If you only need files and databases, standard is plenty. If you run email on your domain or want a longer database history to roll back to, Pro is the one to pick.

Yes. Every plan includes free built-in migration tools that handle the bulk of the work, and our team finishes the edge cases at no extra cost. You can migrate from cPanel/WHM, Plesk, or DirectAdmin servers, or transfer any WordPress site via FTP/SFTP, just select your current provider, enter your login details, and the platform migrates everything automatically with zero data loss. Ticket #894321002 on 23 May 2026 is a typical edge case: a multilingual content creator moving from WordPress.com to self-hosted. Temporary forwarding was live within an hour of the ticket opening, working around the fact his .htaccess wasn't available yet (his WordPress package wasn't set up). When the first workaround didn't behave reliably in testing, we swapped to an .htaccess approach and warned him it would be overwritten when he completed setup. Thousands of sites are migrated this way every week.

Our primary data centres are in the UK, with additional locations in the US and Singapore. UK data centres are the default and ideal for UK-based websites and local SEO. All facilities are enterprise-grade with redundant power, cooling, and network connectivity, staffed with 24/7 on-site technicians. Every plan also includes a free global CDN that caches your site across 260+ edge locations worldwide.

Yes. You can upgrade at any time from your hosting dashboard. The price difference is calculated pro-rata so you only pay the difference for the remaining billing period. Upgrades take effect immediately with no downtime. You can also downgrade if you need to, there's no lock-in or long-term contract.
