WordPress as a Service: The New Kind

| April 18, 2023 | Blog, Company, Installer, WordPress

We’re really excited to have launched version 2 of Virtuozzo Application Platform for WordPress, (announcement here) along with a time-limited “two for one” promotion for new customers.
Let’s talk about why! 

WordPress is everywhere. According to W3Techs, 43% of all websites run on WordPress. If you sell WordPress hosting you already know this, because you have all those cPanel/Plesk-based shared hosting customers.

That’s great, but what happens when a customer’s WordPress site really starts to earn? They churn, because they can’t get the scalability, performance or high availability they need, from entry-level hosting.

They move to one of the big managed WordPress hosts, but that’s a massive jump in cost (and the last thing you want.) What if you could offer a solution that’s more cost-effective, and actually more functional, and keep their business?
Now you can, with Virtuozzo Application Platform for WordPress.

Founder & CEO

“This is a game-changer… With the new Virtuozzo platform, we can disrupt today’s enterprise WordPress hosting market and deliver the premium service that businesses need, at a price point that makes sense.” 

Next-gen simplicity for WordPress DevOps

Virtuozzo Application Platform for WordPress uses the same powerful application container back-end as the Virtuozzo Application Platform, but with a brand-new user interface designed 100% for WordPress customers.

The new UI makes it easy to deploy WordPress website projects, configure resources, adjust scaling, pay invoices and manage the entire WordPress project lifecycle.

It’s just what web agencies and fast-growing WordPress business customers need – and it means you can deliver a much more intuitive and engaging digital experience than the hassle of managing WordPress with traditional tools. You can truly offer next-gen WordPress as a Service.

Modernized infrastructure for WordPress as a Service

What’s going on behind the scenes? This is where the platform enables you to deliver the features lacking from traditional shared hosting. It’s a turnkey way to modernize your hosting infrastructure.

Virtuozzo Application Platform for WordPress is a streamlined container-based hosting solution that delivers the performance, scalability, security and DevOps automation that online brands need. You can deploy it on bare metal, or in your existing virtualized environment.

Automatic scaling: the Virtuozzo Application Platform enables WordPress deployments to automatically scale up, down, in and out in response to website traffic spikes. Obviously this is essential for online businesses with unpredictable traffic patterns, and seasonal marketing campaign requirements.

True consumption-based pricing: with shared hosting and public cloud-based WordPress, businesses have to pay for reserved instances and resources, whether or not they use them. With Virtuozzo, customers are only charged for the resources they actually consume – so you can differentiate on TCO.

Advanced WordPress topologies: Virtuozzo automates the deployment of everything from a single WordPress instance, to multi-region WordPress clusters with complex database and CDN configurations. It simplifies the process for hosting providers and removes the complexity for the business end user.

Secure, high performance, highly available: high density elastic WordPress hosting with fast and efficient hardware utilization, fully isolated containers, container networks and policies, and automatic failover.

VP Strategic Product
Development

“There is a significant gap in the WordPress hosting market, between cheap shared or VPS hosting services, and more expensive managed WordPress from companies such as WP Engine and Kinsta. Our solution enables any service provider to offer modern, containerized WordPress-as-a-Service at a fraction of the cost of those ‘premium’ providers” 

A game-changer for WordPress as a Service hosting 

AzPocket is the first adopter of the new platform. AzPocket became a top Japanese WordPress host via its mixhost brand, which optimized the shared hosting model to the very last degree. 

However, according to Hiro Itami, Founder & CEO, there is always a point at which business customers need more: more scale, more security, more performance.  

“This is a game-changer,” Mr Itami says. “With the new Virtuozzo platform, we can disrupt today’s enterprise WordPress hosting market and deliver the premium service that businesses need, at
a price point that makes sense.”
