Managed WordPress Hosting

Websites aren't set-and-forget. Without regular updates, security checks, and fast hosting, even the best WordPress site will eventually slow down, break, or get hacked. That's why we provide fully managed hosting and support - so you never have to worry about downtime, security alerts, or missed enquiries.

At Weave, we've been building and hosting WordPress websites since 2004. Our hosting stack combines enterprise-grade infrastructure (Google Cloud, Amazon, Cloudflare, Nginx, Redis, Patchstack Security) with local expertise and proactive monitoring. The result? A hosting service designed specifically for WordPress, trusted by New Zealand organisations for decades.

Why managed WordPress hosting matters

• Reliability when it counts - Whether it's a family livestreaming a funeral service, a scientist downloading a dataset, or a client submitting a form, your website needs to be there when people need it most.
• Security & peace of mind - WordPress powers almost half the internet. That makes it a big target for hackers. With proactive monitoring, real-time patching, and firewall protection, we keep you safe.
• Performance that drives results - Faster sites don't just feel better. They rank higher in Google and convert more visitors. We fine-tune your site for speed so your audience gets information quickly.
• Ongoing care, not just servers - Hosting is only one piece. We also manage updates, backups, and critical integrations so your site keeps performing long after launch.

What's included

We group our hosting features into four key areas:

Performance

• Page caching - Instant load times with server-level caching.
• Global CDN - Images and assets delivered via Cloudflare's worldwide network.
• Image optimisation - Automatic compression for faster pages without losing quality.

Security

• Real-time vulnerability scanning & patching - Continuous checks with immediate updates applied.
• Virus & malware detection - Proactive scans to block threats before they spread.
• Firewall & DDoS protection - Enterprise-grade security built into every plan.

Reliability

• Uptime monitoring - Checked every 60 seconds from two different locations. If your site goes down, we know before you do.
• Automated backups - Daily backups with one-click restore.
• Staging sites - Safely test content and updates before pushing live.
• Advanced tier: DNS failover - Dual servers in different locations. If one fails, the other takes over instantly.

Support

• WordPress updates - Core and plugin updates managed proactively.
• DNS & domain management - We handle domain renewals and records so you don't have to.
• Automated form testing - Regular checks to confirm enquiries are being sent and received.
• Local support team - No offshore ticket queues. You'll talk to the same people who built your site.
