What’s Included
Site Maintenance
Your WordPress site, like your car, has to be updated and maintained on a regular basis. Your WordPress site is composed of three main parts: the WordPress Core, the Theme, and, most likely, a variety of Plugins. The developers, plugin authors, and WordPress creators are constantly updating, patching, fixing, and improving each component. WordPress requires increasingly frequent updates as it grows in size and popularity. Furthermore, owing to incompatibility or changing settings, some updates may disrupt other features of your site. Our approach includes a thorough manual assessment of your website to guarantee there are no errors. Your WP core files, themes, and plugins will be updated once a week. And we perform daily backups in case something ever goes wrong.
Regular Database Cleanup and Optimization
To minimize database size and increase website load rates, we need to optimize and clean up the database by eliminating orphaned entries. Maintaining a smaller and more optimized database also aids in error-free backup and recovery.
Having a clean database demands a significant amount of manual labor and expertise of WordPress and MySQL queries. Good thing we have the necessary skills and tools to remove all this irrelevant data to clean up and optimize your database. This kind of optimization for WordPress is often overlooked, and makes a huge difference in website performance.
Security and Spam Control
WordPress websites are frequently under attack. To guarantee that your site is secure, we install and manage a collection of security plugins, settings, and tools. The system examines your website for malware, hacks, cross-site scripting, and other harmful code regularly. Additionally, our Managed WordPress Servers provide top-level server and ISP security capabilities that help keep out bots and other bad players. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, we’ll work quickly to rectify the situation.
In-Site Tech Support
Our managed WordPress hosting service is like having a personal watchdog by your side 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That watchdog notifies us if something goes awry. To keep track of your WordPress install, we use a centralized monitoring, alerting, and operating platform. If there is an outage or a problem, we are informed within minutes. We’ll solve it as soon as we’re aware, often within minutes, based on the seriousness or nature of the problem.
And if you want to try something new, we’ll even help you set up a staging environment so that you can work on development without interfering with your live site. And for the more advanced users, we can even help you with WP-CLI functions.
Premium Performance Plugins and Reporting
If you’re serious about building a strong presence online, then you’ll want to consider the BASIC+ plan. It’s our premium managed WordPress hosting plan that includes the entire suite of WPMU DEV premium performance plugins.
That’s right, the PRO versions of tools like Smush (image optimization), Hummingbird (site speed optimization), Defender (security), SmartCrawl (SEO), Beehive (Analytics), and more are all included! That saves you nearly $50/mo in membership costs and gets you some of the best high-performance tools available!
The (Incredible) Divi Page Builder Theme
We build websites on WordPress using the Divi theme, an industry-leading visual page builder. That means when we’re done building it, you don’t need to be a computer programmer to make updates on your own. So you get a stunning website that can grow with you. It’s also a very developer-friendly theme with incredible design capabilities built in.
The best part? It’s included in all of our managed WordPress hosting plans! That saves you $89/yr because you won’t need to purchase your own license.

The Fistbump Media Difference
Take Advantage of the Perks of Managed WordPress Hosting
Every successful website, including WordPress sites, have dependable hosting services behind them. It’s time to move to a managed WordPress server if you want your site to be lightning-fast, safe, and stop causing difficulties for you and your team. Here are some of the benefits of managed WordPress hosting.
Convenient Management of Your WordPress Site
A managed WordPress host such as Fistbump Media will also stay on top of maintenance for you, ensuring that your website is always running on the most recent version of WordPress. This usually entails updates for WordPress core, PHP, and, on rare occasions, themes or plugins.
WordPress updates may be handled for you by a well-managed WordPress host. A professionally managed WordPress host, on the other hand, will maintain your software updated and actively keep an eye on how every upgrade affects your site by means of automated tests to guarantee that it continues to work properly. If a problem is found, the update can be reversed easily, reverting your site to its previous state.
Partnering with a managed host like Fistbump Media ensures that you will have a setup that is free from any hassle.
Reduced Load Time and Optimized Performance
A managed WordPress host’s overall tech stack is devoted to the WordPress experience, which is a huge plus. This means that your website will most likely have superior reliability, faster loading time, and have fewer problems. Performance upgrades such as a CDN, global server locations, and quick scaling solutions will be available from managed hosting providers.
While you can manage your WordPress site on other forms of hosting, it will take a great deal of work on your part. This is where the benefit of a managed host truly starts to shine. It will free you up to concentrate on your customers and your organization rather than worrying about server maintenance. As such, the managed WordPress hosting offered by Fistbump Media is well worth the money for the performance and security alone.
High Availability and Reliability
Any online business relies on its website’s and server’s uptime. Downtime equals lost money if your company’s website produces revenue. It can also harm your brand’s image and lower your website’s search engine visibility. Web hosting usually promises at least 99% uptime. Sadly, this isn’t always guaranteed.
Due to WordPress’s dynamic features, heavy traffic to a WordPress site can impose a significant demand on server resources. A WordPress-optimized server can utilize sophisticated caching and robust database solutions to maintain the functionality and responsiveness of your website when you most need.
Support From WordPress Experts
While most hosting companies give some level of assistance, you can rest assured that a managed WordPress provider’s support team is well-versed in WordPress. Not only are they familiar with it, but they are considered masters.
This ensures they’ll be able to distinguish between a plugin issue, a problematic theme, and server-level difficulties. They’ll precisely know what configurations are required for a WordPress site to work well. If you have any additional WordPress-related questions, they’ll be able to provide you with trustworthy solutions.
Since a managed hosting service like Fistbump Media focuses on one CMS, our dedicated staff will be more knowledgeable about it and able to assist with a wide range of WordPress issues. That isn’t to suggest that other sorts of hosting can’t provide excellent assistance, but you’ll have a better chance of dealing with a provider that understands WordPress from the inside out.
Specialized Security for WordPress
Shared hosting plans usually don’t provide any support if your site is hacked or has malware issues. The most compelling reason to switch to managed WordPress hosting is the assurance of security. Regular software upgrades and a dedicated hosting setup ensure that your site is more protected from hackers, spammers, and other security threats when you work with a managed WordPress server. Routine security assessments and malware removal are also on the cards.
Clients will benefit from an excellent hosting reputation because it will provide exceptional security. You’re in safe hands if your host can say they’ve never had a significant security breach. With Fistbump Media’s reliable protection, you can rest assured that you are being cared for by the best.
Scalability
Scalability, or the capacity to handle and respond to abrupt traffic spikes, is crucial for any online business. If a publicity stunt attracts more visitors to your website, the unanticipated spike in page visitors will need additional resources. WordPress is very scalable as long as the hosting provider is set up to handle the surge in database requests generated by increased traffic.
To make things work smoothly as your business expands and your website receives more attention, you’ll need more website resources. You must also be able to gather client data efficiently. If your site isn’t set up to scale quickly, it could crash, causing unplanned downtime.
Choosing the correct managed WordPress hosting package from Fistbump Media will help protect your company from a disaster like this. As an industry leader in offering scalable WordPress solutions, we have created a hosting stack that can expressly satisfy the demanding scaling, protection, and performance requirements of the world’s largest businesses.

I have been consistently impressed by their attention to detail, knowledge, responsiveness, great attitude, and affordability. I can’t recommend Fistbump Media highly enough.
Fistbump Media did a great job “fixing” my broken website. They were helpful and attentive to answering questions and making sure it is in full operating mode.
Fistbump is the bomb. Their creativity in web design and maintenance of my website keeps me focused on my writing. Working with them is a dream. They are my people.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hosting?
The term “hosting” refers to the hardware (servers) and software platforms on which you have space to host and deploy your website and other web-based applications. This typically consists of all of the files and databases that make your website work.
What is shared hosting?
Shared hosting is one of several types of hosting in which web hosting customers share a single server. Websites in a shared hosting environment reside in their own dedicated space on the server, so customers do not have access to each other’s files. Sharing resources like this helps to keep the costs down so that website owners do not need to maintain an entire server on their own.
Can I host WordPress on shared hosting?
Yes! Especially if your web host optimizes the server for WordPress (like we do). And because of its popularity, most web hosting companies offer simple, one-click installation of WordPress (typically through a cPanel).
What is VPS?
VPS is a virtual private server. These typically run on a cloud-based infrastructure (a large pool of networked servers). These are typically used for higher traffic websites (a few thousand visitors per day), or highly customized configurations (much more complex sites and web services).
What is a dedicated server?
A dedicated server hosting service is the type of plan where you rent an entire actual server (rack-mounted, internet-connected computer), and no other websites reside on that server besides yours.
What is managed hosting?
Managed hosting usually combines standard web hosting (shared hosting or VPS) with a higher level of customized support and services. For example, the software in a WordPress website requires updates and maintenance in order to run smooth and secure. A managed hosting plan might include that maintenance, whereas non-managed hosting plans will only ensure the server is online (not your website).
What billing cycles for you offer?
You can pay for your hosting services monthly, quarterly, or annually. And we offer discounts for quarterly (5%) and annual (10%) payments. And there are no contracts, so any pre-payment is fully refundable if you need to stop your hosting service for any reason.
Is your hosting US based?
Yes! Our hosting facility is in a data center in Orlando, FL. Our servers are monitored 24/7 by a great team of network technicians and server admins (when they aren’t hanging out with Mickey).
Can I upgrade my account if I need to?
Yes, you can upgrade (or downgrade) your account at any time. We’ll also take any unused balance you’ve already paid to credit to whatever new plan you move your services to.
Do I need to transfer my domain to you?
We offer competitive pricing on domain names, and it is often easier to manage everything in one place by transferring your domain name to where your hosting maintained. However, if you prefer, you can still host your website with us and have your domain name registered through any other registrar you choose.
Do you offer discounts for non-profits?
Yes! We offer a 10% non-profit discount on all of our services.
What is SSL security?
SSL security is basically encryption for data passing back and forth between visitors and your website. So it’s not necessarily about making the website more difficult to hack, but it’s about protecting visitor information when they are on your website. SSL certificates are included in some of our more advanced hosting plans and are available for as little as $27/yr for lower plans.
