Frequently asked questions about Managed WordPress Hosting

• What are WordPress and Managed WordPress?

  WordPress is a widely used content management system (CMS) that lets users build and manage websites easily.

  When you compare WordPress vs Managed WordPress hosting, consider:

  • WordPress is the core software. You provide the hosting, install plugins, themes and manage updates yourself
  • Managed WordPress is a hosting service where many technical tasks (updates, backups, security) are handled for you
  • With Managed WordPress, you still use WordPress software, but with added convenience, performance-tuning and support

  Whether you choose standard WordPress or Managed WordPress, you get a powerful platform for creating blogs, portfolios, shops, or business sites with names.co.uk.

• Is WordPress free?

  Yes, the core WordPress software is open-source and free to use.

  Nevertheless, here’s how costs can arise with either WordPress or Managed WordPress:

  • You’ll need to pay for hosting, domain registration, or premium plugins
  • With Managed WordPress, hosting includes additional services (e.g. maintenance, security, support), which usually come at a higher price
  • Managed Hosting bundles premium features like caching, auto-updates, staging environments and backups

  In short, WordPress itself is free, but for the full experience consider names.co.uk Managed WordPress, which has affordable fees for added convenience and performance.

• How to use WordPress to build a website?

  1. Choose your hosting, standard WordPress or Managed WordPress
  2. Install WordPress (or skip if it's pre-installed under Managed WordPress)
