WordPress Hosting vs. Full-Service Managed WordPress Hosting
Most WordPress hosts provide the server. FatLab provides the server, the security, the maintenance, and the support, all in one plan.
| Capability | Standard WordPress Hosting | FatLab Managed Hosting |
|---|---|---|
| Server & infrastructure | ✓ | ✓ |
| CDN & caching | Sometimes extra | Cloudflare Enterprise (included) |
| WordPress updates | Automated (no review) | Manual review + testing + rollback |
| Security monitoring | Basic or add-on | Cloudflare WAF + Imunify360 (included) |
| Malware cleanup | Extra charge | Included |
| Plugin/theme troubleshooting | Not included | Included |
| Developer support | Ticket-based, server-only | Direct access to WordPress developers |
| Development hours | Not included | 0–8 hours/month depending on plan |
| Strategic consulting | Not included | Enterprise plan |
FatLab is not just a hosting provider. Every plan includes the security, maintenance, and support that other hosts charge extra for or do not offer at all.

WordPress Hosting FAQs
Have more questions? View all frequently asked questions.
What makes FatLab's WordPress hosting different from other providers?
Unlike typical hosting providers, we include full WordPress support with every plan. This means we help with plugin conflicts, theme issues, and site problems - not just server issues. You get Cloudflare Enterprise CDN, real-time malware scanning, weekly updates, and direct access to developers who understand WordPress inside and out.
Do you sell hosting by CPU, RAM, or bandwidth limits?
No, we don't nickel and dime with resource limits. We provide what your site needs to run smoothly and scale resources as needed. Our plans are differentiated by included development hours and support level, not arbitrary server specifications. If your site needs more resources, we handle it - no overage charges.
What's included in "full support" for WordPress hosting?
Full support means we help with both infrastructure AND website issues. If a plugin breaks, theme has conflicts, or your site shows errors - we fix it. This includes troubleshooting code issues, resolving conflicts, performance optimization, and emergency response. You're not limited to just server problems like other hosts.
How fast can you migrate my WordPress site?
Most WordPress sites are migrated within 24-48 hours with zero downtime. We handle everything: moving files, databases, DNS updates, and SSL certificates. Complex sites or those requiring special configurations may take slightly longer, but we keep you informed throughout the process.
What security measures are included with WordPress hosting?
Every plan includes Cloudflare Enterprise WAF (Web Application Firewall), real-time malware scanning with Imunify360, automatic malware cleanup, DDoS protection at layers 3/4/7, SSL certificates at all layers, and 24/7 security monitoring. We prevent attacks before they reach your site.
Can FatLab handle high-traffic WordPress sites?
Absolutely. Our infrastructure scales automatically to handle traffic spikes. We use cloud hosting with Cloudflare Enterprise CDN to ensure fast loading worldwide. All plans handle unlimited traffic, and our Business and Enterprise plans are designed for mission-critical, high-traffic sites that need priority handling and dedicated support.
Do you offer staging environments for WordPress?
Yes, we can set up staging environments for testing updates, new features, or design changes before they go live. This is especially useful for ecommerce sites or those with complex functionality. Staging setups are available on all plans at our standard hourly rate.
What happens if a WordPress update breaks my site?
We create backups before every update and test updates when possible. If anything breaks, we roll back immediately and troubleshoot the issue. Our manual update process catches most problems before they affect your live site. You're never left with a broken site.
Is email hosting included with WordPress hosting plans?
Email hosting is not included in our standard plans, as we focus on WordPress hosting and support. However, we can help you set up and manage email through providers like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, ensuring proper DNS configuration and integration with your domain.
Can I switch hosting plans later?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at any time with no penalty. If your needs change — more dev hours, a dedicated contact, priority support — you can move to a higher tier. If you want to scale back, that works too. No long-term contracts.
What happens if I want to leave FatLab?
We don't lock you in. If FatLab isn't the right fit, we'll help you migrate to your new host at no additional charge. We want you to stay because the service is great, not because leaving is hard.
