Why Use KitCloud
WordPress Hosting With The Practical Tools Included
KitCloud gives WordPress customers the same clear £1.25 hosting foundation, with WordPress Manager, staging, hourly backups, free SSL, Cloudflare protection and DirectAdmin controls included.
WordPress Manager Included
Clone, stage, back up and manage WordPress installs through the included Softaculous WordPress Manager.
Staging Built In
Use included subdomain space for staging and development before making changes to the live website.
Protection And Backups
Free SSL, Cloudflare-backed protection and hourly website backups help give WordPress sites a stronger base.
Service Commitment
Capacity Managed WordPress Hosting With A 99% Uptime Commitment
KitCloud will not keep adding WordPress customers beyond the platform capacity available. We expand before capacity becomes a service risk, and if expansion is not ready, we pause new hosting orders to protect existing customers.
Capacity Comes First
We monitor platform load and customer growth so WordPress hosting is not knowingly oversold.
99% Uptime Commitment
99% uptime means at least 99 out of every 100 hours should be available. In a 30-day month, that allows up to about 7 hours 12 minutes of downtime.
Refund Or Credit
If we fail to meet the 99% hosting uptime commitment for an affected billing month, we will provide either a refund or account credit for the affected hosting service.
Across a full year, 99% uptime equates to roughly 3 days, 15 hours and 36 minutes of total downtime. Read the full Service Commitment for how uptime, capacity, maintenance and customer communication are handled.

WordPress Hosting Is Different From General Web Hosting
This page is focused on WordPress sites, not just generic file hosting. The important details are staging, plugin testing, update recovery, database handling and keeping admin access tidy.
Test Plugin Changes First

Database-Aware Restores
WordPress changes often involve both files and database content, so restore planning needs to consider both.

Keep WordPress admin users, hosting access and developer access separate so changes are easier to manage.
Update Timing
Schedule larger WordPress changes when someone can check the site afterwards and roll back if needed.

Build With WordPress
Start with WordPress, choose a theme, add the plugins you need and use page builder tools to create a site around your business.
Other Builder Options
Softaculous also includes builder-friendly apps such as SitePad, Kopage, PageKit and Microweber if WordPress is not the right fit.
KitCloud Can Help Build It
If you would rather not build it yourself, talk to us about creating a website that runs on your KitCloud WordPress Hosting plan.
Website build help is scoped separately so we can match the work to the size and needs of the business.
