WordPress hosting, with the server handled for you
WordPress runs on PHP and a MySQL or MariaDB database. With EclipsiumX web hosting you choose the PHP stack for WordPress at setup and we run the server; you look after your site. Here is what WordPress needs, which plan fits, how to move an existing site and how to keep it healthy.
What WordPress needs from a host
WordPress is a PHP application that stores posts, pages, users and settings in a MySQL or MariaDB database, and your uploads, themes and plugins as files. A good host gives it a current PHP version, enough storage for the media library and an HTTPS certificate.
On EclipsiumX web hosting the server is managed: we set up and operate the machine, and every plan includes a free SSL certificate, so your site opens over HTTPS. Sites run in data centres in Germany, inside the EU.
Which plan for your WordPress sites
- Starter: one company website, blog or landing page. 15 GB of storage holds WordPress, a theme, plugins and thousands of optimised images.
- Creator: up to 5 sites, for example a main site, a blog in another language and a test copy you try updates on first. 30 GB and 1 TB of traffic a month.
- Professional: up to 15 sites, a good fit for a WooCommerce shop with a large product catalogue, or a freelancer hosting client sites. 75 GB and 2 TB of traffic.
- Business, Enterprise and Ultimate: agencies and larger portfolios, from 25 sites up to unlimited sites and traffic.
Storage is usually filled by the media library and old plugin backups, not by WordPress itself.

See all plansMoving an existing WordPress site
- Tell us where it runs nowWe help you move your existing website from your current host. Share where it is hosted and what it is built with.
- Take a full copy firstWhatever the method, keep your own copy of the wp-content folder and a database export before anything changes.
- Check the site on its new homeOpen pages, log in to wp-admin, submit a form and, for shops, run a test order before you switch the domain.
- Point the domainUpdate the DNS record so your domain points to EclipsiumX. We help with this if you need it. Lowering the record's TTL a day earlier makes the switch faster.
- Confirm HTTPSOnce the domain points to the new host, the free SSL certificate covers it. Make sure Settings > General uses https:// for both addresses.
Keeping a WordPress site fast and safe
- Update WordPress core, themes and plugins regularly. Most hacked WordPress sites run an outdated plugin.
- Use fewer plugins, and remove the ones you have deactivated. Each one is code that runs or can be attacked.
- Resize and compress images before uploading, or use a plugin that serves WebP. Images are the heaviest part of most pages.
- Give every admin a unique, strong password and turn on two-factor login with a plugin.
- Keep your own backups of files and the database with a backup plugin that stores copies outside the hosting account.
One account for site, hosting and email
Your WordPress hosting sits in the same EclipsiumX account as your business email on your own domain (from €2.49 per mailbox a month) and, if you want one, a website we design and build for you. Choose a plan, pick the PHP stack, enter your domain or start on a free project address on eclipsiumx.com, then create your account and pay on checkout. Billing is monthly from €5.99.
