Do you need reliable WordPress hosting for yourself or your clients? Admit it—you rolled your eyes as soon as I said “hosting”! So boring!
Your website is a key tool in your marketing toolbox. Obviously, your site needs to be online 24/7, but it isn’t just about uptime. Other aspects that have to be considered are site speed, Core Web Vitals, SEO, security, disaster recovery, and maintenance.
Hosting is one of the most overlooked aspects of an organization’s online presence. Yes, you can get cheap, less-than-$20-per-month hosting, but not only do you get what you pay for in terms of performance, it will also be up to you to figure out and manage all the various aspects of keeping your site online. How fast is it? What about backups? What about your plugin and WordPress updates? Do you have a firewall? Is your site protected from hackers? Is your website capable of sending emails?
This is where managed hosting comes in. If your website is a cake, hosting is not the icing on the cake; it is the pan that you bake it in. With over 25 years of experience in IT and web development, I am uniquely positioned to understand all the variables that go into ensuring your site not only remains online but is also fast and secure. Why struggle to do this yourself, or worse, pay someone who is unresponsive and/or inexperienced? Tibbits Consulting gives you peace of mind that your online presence is in good hands.
Why Choose Managed Hosting with Tibbits Consulting?
SPEED
One study shows that a web page’s loading speed can greatly influence user behavior. It takes only 2.75 seconds for a user to abandon a website, and just a 0.1-second improvement in site speed boosts key performance indicators across the entire user journey, including:
Speed matters. Better site speed equals an improved user experience, and Google is very clear that they reward this when ranking websites in search results.
Only 40% of mobile websites using WordPress pass Core Web Vitals. These are three performance metrics that represent how fast, responsive, and stable websites are. Check how your site ranks by doing a quick scan at Google PageSpeed Insights.
WordPress sites are image-heavy, and most are still underusing optimized image formats. These sites also load a LOT of third-party resources like fonts, icons, and scripts. On average, a WordPress site loads between 20 and 30 plugins at a time.
Passing Core Web Vitals means a website provides an excellent real-life user experience that motivates visitors to browse, engage, and buy.
Tibbits Consulting uses dedicated servers to provide optimal performance for WordPress. Combined with a Page Speed Boost extension, Tibbits Consulting can give you that improvement in site speed and Core Web Vitals, resulting in more user engagement and more conversions.
INSURANCE
Managed hosting gives you peace of mind knowing a trusted professional is taking care of your site. It is insurance that your website will be online 99.99% of the time, that it will be backed up, and that it will be secure.
Disaster recovery is also included. What if something is accidentally deleted or broken on your site? What if the worst happens and your site is hacked due to security loopholes in a theme or plugin? How do you recover from this? In such cases, Tibbits Consulting will be there to help you work through this and restore your website to a healthy and functional state.
Managed hosting also saves you time—time you would have to spend figuring this all out on your own, or time spent working with someone who is inexperienced and doesn’t understand the intricacies of web hosting.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Managed hosting with Tibbits Consulting gives you access to top-notch customer service. It’s really simple: if there is a problem with your site, you have access to me, a professional with over 25 years of experience. Not only do I build websites, but I have also built and administered web servers. This means I am uniquely positioned to troubleshoot any issues you might be facing with your website.
Any issues related to hosting are dealt with immediately. If the issue is not related to hosting, you will never just be brushed off. Tibbits Consulting can provide troubleshooting and corresponding solutions for non-hosting issues, for a fee and as scheduling permits. Folks who do not have a hosting plan with Tibbits Consulting do not have any access to support.
The key takeaway here is that when you go with managed hosting, you do not have to do anything yourself. Tibbits Consulting will take care of everything, from migrating site files to configuring the domain name and DNS. WordPress and all plugins will be kept up to date on a regular basis. When plugin licenses have expired, you will be notified to renew them so you can continue to receive software updates. Tibbits Consulting monitors everything and is proactive in addressing any issues that might arise.
