Education
School websites aren't just informational -- they're how parents communicate with the school, how students access resources, and how Ofsted reviewers assess a school's digital provision. They need to be fast, secure, and always available.
Schools process personal data about children -- a special category under UK GDPR with enhanced obligations. UK data centre hosting, Data Processing Agreements, and proper data handling are baseline requirements for UK schools under DfE guidance and the ICO's children's code.
Academy trusts running 5-20 schools from a single WordPress Multisite installation need adequate resources for concurrent access across all schools, shared plugin management, and the ability to isolate individual school sites during a problem. Scale and Elite plans support multi-site at the right resource level.
GCSE and A-level results day is the single highest-traffic day of the year for most school websites. Prospectus downloads, sixth form application portals, and admissions information all spike simultaneously. Shared hosting regularly fails on results day. Dedicated resources don't.
Ofsted inspects school websites and checks for safeguarding information, accessibility, and statutory content. A fast, reliable website with current content is part of inspection readiness. Managed updates ensure the CMS and plugins stay current without creating security risks.
Parent communication portals, school payment systems (ParentPay integration), and student resource areas are database-intensive WordPress applications. Concurrent logins at school pickup time, when parents are checking letters and messages, needs adequate PHP workers and fast database access.
UK public sector websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. WordPress managed with proper update practices, on fast infrastructure that achieves good Core Web Vitals scores, provides the foundation for accessibility compliance.

Security
UK GDPR-compliant infrastructure with enterprise-grade protection at server and CDN level, on every plan.
Enterprise DDoS Protection
Dual-layer defence — our CDN absorbs volumetric attacks at the network edge; server-level protection blocks application-layer threats before they reach WordPress.
Web Application Firewall
Active WAF at both CDN and server level. Blocks SQL injection, XSS, and malicious request patterns automatically, with continuously updated rules.
Real-Time Malware Scanning
Continuous server-wide scanning detects infections the moment they occur. Automatic cleanup included — no extra charge, no waiting for a ticket.
Automated WordPress Hardening
Security settings are enforced automatically across every site: file permissions, wp-config.php lockdown, PHP execution blocked in uploads, XML-RPC disabled, and admin rate limiting — all kept in sync without manual intervention.
Login & Brute Force Protection
Server-level rate limiting on wp-login, automatic IP blocking on repeated failures, and CAPTCHA enforcement. Offending IPs are blocked before they slow your site.
Container Isolation (Enhance CP)
Every site runs in an isolated container. A compromised site cannot affect neighbouring accounts — no shared PHP processes, no shared filesystem access between customers.
IP Reputation & Country Blocking
Continuously updated threat intelligence blocks known malicious IPs at the server level. Country-level restrictions available where appropriate.
Vulnerability Scanning & Patching
Weekly scans across all WordPress installations identify vulnerable plugins, themes, and core files. Bulk update tools apply patches server-wide automatically.
Uptime & Keyword Monitoring
Real-time uptime monitoring with keyword checks — we know if your site goes down or serves unexpected content before your customers do.
All security features included on every plan — no add-ons, no upgrades required.
