No, we do not. We use our Advanced VPS WordPress Platform. However, for other types of hosting, we do have cPanel Shared Hosting if you are looking to build another type of website and not planning on using WordPress.

The short answer is yes. We recommend that you check your site at a minimum once a month for updates. However, it is much better to check at least once a week.

If you are not sure how to update yourself, then we will be happy to provide you a checklist for updating your WordPress Site.

With Managed WordPress we take care of all the mundane items of keeping your WordPress updated and safe with an extra layer of security. We want you focused on creating the best possible website, not worrying about bad guys because your install of WordPress hasn't been updated.

We provide you a secure Advanced VPS Platform. Your WordPress site is the ONLY site loaded into the "Platform"

Here is what we recommend for securing your site.

Shield Security in combination with Cloudflare WAF. You are certainly welcome to use other security combinations of your choice. Another recommended Security Plugin is WordFence. And Webarx Security plugin/service.

The quick answer is yes. 

If your site has any kind of notifications that it sends out, for instance maybe a Contact Form, you need a quality SMTP Email Sending Service that can send those on your behalf. We recommend Mailgun.com, SendGrid, MailJet. 

With every install of WordPress, we will provide you with the free Post SMTP plugin so you can use the above services plus many more.

If you do not have any our default platform will send out as a last resort, but there are no guarantees the emails will arrive at the intended sender since there isn't an SPF record allowing to send on your behalf.

It is a necessity to obtain your own SMTP service.

Transactional email is when we as individuals or company's send emails back and forth in normal discussions with an individual.

We do provide you a Credit of $2.49 a month to be used with any of our KloudEmail Email Services.

Yes, we do give a Discount for sites in the same account and using the same hosting package.

For instance, you purchase your first site at regular price you will get all additional sites at a discounted price.
