The problem
Running client work on classic shared hosting means every site shares a filesystem, a PHP version, and a fate. You cannot give one client a newer PHP without touching the rest, a runaway process on one site slows all of them, and a single compromised plugin puts every other install in reach. Moving to a VPS solves the isolation but hands you a server to patch, monitor, and back up yourself.
What you get instead
- One isolated container per site — its own filesystem, its own process space, its own resource limits.
- Per-site PHP version, or Node, Python, and static runtimes for the sites that are not WordPress.
- HTTPS handled automatically for every domain, issued and renewed without you touching a certificate.
- One-click WordPress, with the admin credentials shown once at install.
- Deploy from Git by hand or on a push webhook, with a history of what shipped and when.
- Email forwarding per domain, so [email protected] lands wherever they already read mail.
- Weekly backups kept for seven restore points on every site.
- A browser terminal and file manager, so you are never blocked waiting for SFTP credentials.
How it prices out
Plans are counted in sites, not servers: 3 sites on Launch at $9.99, 10 on Grow, 25 on Scale, and 100 on Business. You add a client site when you win the work, and the per-site cost falls as you grow — without renegotiating a server size or migrating anyone.
Best fit
Agencies and freelancers carrying a portfolio of small-to-medium sites — mostly WordPress, some static or app work — who want the isolation of separate servers without becoming sysadmins. If a client outgrows shared resources, move that one site onto a VPS in the same account and leave everything else untouched.
