Everything included, on every Pressy
Every Pressy comes equipped with all the features every WordPress website (and you) deserves to have, and much more!
Our main features
Everything is included, not paywalled by addons or plan upgrades.
Free custom domains
Connect the domains you already own. No per-domain charge, on any plan, including the free one.
Read moreWeekly automatic backups
On a schedule, kept 30 days, on our backup server rather than inside the storage you paid for.
Read moreAutomatic updates
Applied for you, with a backup taken first and a rollback if one goes wrong.
Read moreOne-click staging
A full second copy of the site, files and database, at an address of its own.
Read moreWAF powered by ModSecurity
Filtering common attacks before WordPress ever sees the request. On by default, set per domain.
Read moreUnmetered bandwidth
Nothing meters into a bill. Fair usage has a published figure and crossing it starts a conversation.
Read moreAnd everything else
Everything else, not because it's not important, but because we don't want to overwhelm you with how hard we've gone to up the standards for affordable WordPress hosting.
Domains and HTTPS
Bring the domain you already own. We show you the records, watch them land and issue the certificate, and we charge you for none of it.
- Free custom domainsConnect the domains you already own. No per-domain charge, on any plan, including the free one.
- Free SSL by Let's EncryptIssued and renewed for you, on your Pressy address and on every custom domain you point here.
- A free pressy.site addressYour Pressy is reachable, and already on HTTPS, before you have decided what to call it.
- Domain ConnectSupported registrars are configured for you, so there is nothing to type and nothing to mistype.
Backups and restores
Taken for you, kept for 30 days, restored free as often as you need, and downloadable whenever you want your site in your own hands.
- Weekly automatic backupsOn a schedule, kept 30 days, on our backup server rather than inside the storage you paid for.
- Free unlimited restoresNo fee and no yearly allowance. A restore never touches your domain or your DNS.
- On-demand backupsTake one before you touch something, up to one an hour. Staging can take its own.
- Free backup downloadsThe files and the database as one archive, whenever you want it. It is your site.
- Staging is backed up tooThe second copy gets the same schedule and the same on-demand button as the first.
- Seven days to change your mindCancelling stops the billing at once and takes the site offline, and destroys nothing for a week.
WordPress, managed
Core, plugins and themes kept current without you logging in to do it, and full control over which of them you let move on their own.
- Automatic updatesApplied for you, with a backup taken first and a rollback if one goes wrong.
- Automatic plugin and theme updatesOn or off per plugin and per theme. Not an add-on, and not a reason to be on a bigger plan.
- Easy plugin and theme managementInstall, activate, update and remove from the same dashboard as the rest of your Pressy.
- Themes and plugins pre-installedTwelve Stacks, one per kind of site, put in place while your Pressy is built. All yours to change.
- Maintenance modeTake the site off the air while you work on it, and put it back when you are done.
Staging
A full second copy of your site at its own address. Free, and it does not count against your plan.
- One-click stagingA full second copy of the site, files and database, at an address of its own.
- Push live and sync downWhole-site, both directions, and a backup of live is taken first. If that backup fails, the push is cancelled.
Security
A firewall in front of WordPress, your site in a container of its own, and nothing claimed here we cannot point at.
- WAF powered by ModSecurityFiltering common attacks before WordPress ever sees the request. On by default, set per domain.
- Malware protection powered by cpGuardScanning for the files that have no business being there, behind the firewall rather than instead of it.
- One site per containerIts own memory, its own CPU, its own database. Not a folder inside somebody else's account.
- IP allow and block rulesWith a typed confirmation on the one setting that can lock you out of your own site.
- Two-factor authenticationTOTP with recovery codes, and a second ask before anything with a consequence.
Speed and resources
Unmetered where metering would only ever be a way to bill you, and a published number everywhere a number is the honest answer.
- Unmetered bandwidthNothing meters into a bill. Fair usage has a published figure and crossing it starts a conversation.
- Unmetered page viewsNo visit allowance to run out of halfway through the month. A good month costs what a quiet one costs.
- Redis object cacheOne switch, and we install and activate the WordPress side rather than leaving you a config file and good luck.
- OPcacheOn by default, because there was never a good reason for it not to be.
- NVMe storageOn every plan, including the free one, and priced by the gigabyte rather than by the tier.
The developer things
PHP, cron, SSH, databases and Node.js, on the same dashboard as everything else instead of behind a support ticket.
- Easy PHP managementThe version in one click, the four limits everyone gets told to raise in one more, and a raw php.ini when you need it.
- Cron jobsA schedule builder that shows the next runs in your clock and the server's, and refuses the traps that fail silently.
- Node.js appsA small API, a webhook receiver or a worker in the same container, on a path of your own domain.
- SSH with your own keyAdd a public key and sign in without a password. Your private key stays yours and we never see it.
- FTPS accountsExplicit TLS on port 21, with the exact client setting named, and an account can be locked to one folder.
- phpMyAdmin, already signed inSingle sign-on minted at the moment you click, and never cached.
The panel, and the billing
The parts that aren't features so much as the reason the features are pleasant to own.
- A control panel built for one thingNot cPanel with a WordPress icon on it. Two panels in your life: your Pressy and your WordPress admin.
- Per-site plansEvery Pressy is its own subscription with its own memory, vCPU and storage. One site needing more means changing that one site.
- Change size on any dayNot at renewal and not by contacting sales. Upgrades take effect immediately, pro-rated to the day.
- Pay on StripeTheir hosted page, their 3-D Secure, and nothing changes on your Pressy until the payment succeeds.
- Monthly or yearly, your callNo four-year commitment to reach the advertised price, and the renewal price is the price you signed up at.
- A 30-day refund policyA button in your dashboard, not an argument with a retention agent. A person answers within 12 to 48 hours.
- Everything in your timezoneBackups, cron runs, renewals and logs, converted from the UTC the machines actually run on.
What is a Pressy?
This page is the full spec inventory. If you want to know more about what a Pressy is and how it works, you can visit this page.
All of it, on the smallest paid plan
There is no feature tier here. Paid plans differ by memory, CPU and storage and by nothing else. MiniPressy is the exception and it says so on the tin: free, and without backups, staging or SSH.
