WordPress

The most widely used website software — and the most frequently attacked.

WordPress is quickly set up and easily forgotten. That is exactly where incidents come from. We run your installation on its own virtual machine in our data centres in Germany — with updates, monitoring and backups.

What WordPress is

Strong through extensions — vulnerable through extensions

WordPress is open-source software for websites: editing in the browser, themes for the design, plugins for everything else — from forms and shops to multilingual sites. It is exactly this extensibility that has made the software so widespread.

It is also the risk. Most incidents do not go back to the core, but to outdated plugins and themes. A WordPress installation that nobody looks after is not a website but an open window.

That is why, for us, WordPress does not belong on shared web space but on its own virtual machine with guaranteed resources — with the protection in front and the operation behind it.

What we take on

Your own hosting platform

Run your own secure web hosting platform — for your own web presence or as a reseller. Every hosting instance runs on a dedicated virtual machine with guaranteed server resources. The entire system is looked after by kyberio. Through the LiveConfig interface you manage the hosting accounts with multi-tenant capability and keep control over your web server.

  • Server type virtual, its own VM
  • Operating system Linux
  • Storage from 50 GB SSD
  • Web interface LiveConfig, alternatively Plesk
  • Protection certificate, firewall and WAF from the same provider
  • Price on request

The control panel licence is in the price catalogue: LiveConfig Standard €9.90 net per month, Plesk between €12.99 and €41.99 net per month depending on the edition, in each case per virtual machine. On top come the machine, storage and the support level.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference from simple web space?

On shared web space you share resources and neighbours. With us, every instance runs on its own virtual machine with guaranteed resources — and the operation lies with us, not with you.

Do you also update plugins and themes?

Yes, by arrangement. We keep the operating system, the stack underneath and the WordPress core current in any case. We add themes and plugins if that is agreed — with an agreed way of testing, because a plugin update can also break a website. What belongs to it in your case is set out in the arrangement, not in an advertising promise.

Can I run several websites on it?

Yes. Through LiveConfig you manage several hosting accounts on the same instance with multi-tenant capability — the route agencies and resellers usually take.

Do you do anything against the typical WordPress attacks?

Yes, on two levels. In front of the application sits the web application firewall with rules tailored to WordPress — the attacks on this system are so well known that dedicated rules are worth it. On top comes a scan for malicious code in the files, because otherwise a planted plugin only gets noticed once it does damage. How both are tailored in your case, we work out in conversation.

Is there a staging environment?

Yes. We provide a second instance on which things are tested before they go live — separate from production, with its own address and its own database. We also set up the route from staging to live: via Git, via a deployment pipeline or however else you work. That is a project billed by effort, not a switch — but afterwards nobody has to copy files by hand any more.

Can you take over an existing website?

We take a look. How much work a move involves depends on size, extensions and database — so we look inside first before we name a figure.
