Platforms & Technologies
Not just a pretty face: rock-solid platforms and amazing hardware ensure your website always kicks ass.
Autoscaling Resources
If your website is busy and needs more resources, it can grab them automatically from other servers on our platform that are quieter. Your site has access to the resources it needs when it needs them, rather than being restricted to just one or two servers.
This means that if you go viral, your website always has the resources it needs to continue providing your visitors with fast, reliable browsing – at no extra cost to you.
Load-Balanced Servers
Our servers work in harmony to distribute resources consistently. This means better reliability for your website, and a consistently happy experience for your visitors.
In the unlikely event that a server is struggling, another one automatically steps in to take its place or share the load, ensuring high availability and consistently fast speeds for your website.
Full SSD Web Space
We use high-quality SSD drives for storing your website files instead of standard, cheaper hard drives. This means you automatically enjoy better reliability and faster speeds for your website.
All your web space is full SSD (not just the cache!), and we only use Samsung Solid State Hard Drives to maximise speed and reliability.
Optimized Hardware & Software
Our platforms are built and maintained by security experts with decades of industry experience. We’ve fine-tuned everything, from the network to the operating systems to WordPress, to ensure you’re getting the very best from it.
Regular updates and new hardware keep everything running smoothly.
Protective App Firewall
Whichever Lyrical Host platform your website is hosted on, our integrated Web Application Firewall continually monitors and filters out threatening requests before they can even target your website.
And if you choose one of our WordPress plans, your website benefits from WordPress-specific protection too.
IPv6 Ready Hosting
As the latest range of IP addresses become more widely adopted, we’ve looked ahead to provide you with IPv6-ready hosting.
We’re future-proofing your website for the next generation of the web – and you don’t need to do anything!
WordPress Platform Features
This platform is for you if: You’re only interested in WordPress, and you want fully optimized self-hosted WordPress-powered websites. (If you’re looking to install software or host files outside WordPress too (e.g. you want to run Joomla!), you’ll need one of our Linux plans instead).
Our WordPress platform is pretty special. It’s optimized for WP in every way, from bespoke built-in speed and security features to brilliant hardware.
Your WordPress hosting plan includes:
Pre-installed WordPress
If you buy your domain name and hosting together, WordPress is preinstalled to save you time and energy. All you need to do is choose a few simple settings, like your website title, and you’re good to go!
Automatic WordPress core updates
Forget to update WordPress or have too many websites? Don’t worry, we automatically update your core WordPress installs with the latest security fixes and features after we’ve tested them.
Hassle-free website management
Manage theme and plugin updates straight from LyricalCP, see if any core files have been flagged for security, and use our staging platform to test new themes and changes before pushing them live in just a couple of clicks.
Superfast caching
Our specialist plugin is all you need for your website caching. It ensures your visitors enjoy super fast browsing and comes preinstalled with our WordPress packages. No management or configuration needed!
Latest PHP versions
We use the latest and greatest versions of PHP, the programming language behind WordPress. This means faster, more secure websites that can take full advantage of all WordPress has to offer.
Easy migrations
It’s really easy to migrate existing WordPress sites in to Lyrical Host, whether they’re from WordPress.com, Blogger or another self-hosting company. We can migrate you for free with any of our hosting packages.
Linux Platform Features
This platform is for you if: You want a versatile web hosting package to install your choice of software, scripts, apps, templates, or even just upload standard HTML & CSS.
You can still use WordPress on this platform, but we only recommend doing this if you’re also planning to use non-WordPress software such as forums or CRMs.
70+ One-Click Installs
Choose and install lots of popular open source software titles in seconds. With everything from invoicing to project management covered, you can save tons of time and money. You can also install the most popular content management and ecommerce systems to build your own feature-rich websites.
High Quality Hardware & Software
Your website runs from high-spec servers fitted with fast, reliable Samsung SSD drives. Not only does this improve performance for you and your visitors, it means you get great value for money and your website has a home for life.
Multi-Language Support
Our Linux platform allows you to make use of multiple different versions of PHP, ensuring greater flexibility for your website, frameworks, and scripts. If you’re using another language and want to make sure we support that version, please contact us.
