Everything that goes into a WPSubstrata setup, from the server underneath to the testing and documentation you receive at handoff.
A dedicated Hetzner Cloud server running Debian, MariaDB and CloudPanel. We configure the environment from scratch around your websites and requirements.
We migrate your existing WordPress sites with minimal disruption, or build a clean WordPress installation if you're starting from scratch.
SSH lockdown, firewall rules, Fail2ban, security updates and sensible server defaults. Your infrastructure is hardened before your sites go live.
We put Cloudflare in front of your sites and configure SSL end to end, so traffic is encrypted, cached and protected before it ever reaches your server.
We handle the full DNS configuration, records, and propagation for you. No guesswork, no broken subdomains.
Your email doesn't need to run on your WordPress server. We keep your existing email provider or help set up an external mail service, including SMTP for reliable WordPress email delivery.
Caching is configured around how each WordPress site actually works. Page, object and browser caching are optimized rather than applied as a generic preset.
We design and configure a backup strategy appropriate for your infrastructure and verify that backups are working. Ongoing backup management is part of the optional maintenance plan. Recovery should be planned before you need it.
Before handoff, we test the infrastructure end to end: websites, DNS, SSL, mail, caching, security, backups and server health.
