Business Cloud Hosting
Monstrous power.
For your most
demanding projects.
Cloud hosting for WordPress, with more powerful servers, fewer websites per server and priority support. Built for businesses that need more from their hosting.
Cloud hosting in the EU or the US. No lock-in or catches in the small print. Renewals at the same price.
Built to keep up with your business
One website. Three levels of power.
Every plan includes priority support, two staging environments and the same performance and security tools. What changes is the processing power, storage and data transfer available to your website. Need more? Upgrade in seconds, without interruption.

When you need more from your website
More powerful servers. Up to 20 sites per server.
Processing orders, searching thousands of products or handling a flood of visitors from an advertising campaign puts your website to the test. When things get busy, your WordPress needs the power to keep up.
Business Cloud Hosting uses more powerful cloud servers, with no more than 20 websites on each to reduce competition for resources. Your WordPress gets guaranteed resources above those available with WCH: more CPU and memory, higher disk read and write capacity, and more room to run processes and store files.
Optimised for WordPress, from end to end
More speed, not just more power.
NVMe SSDs speed up reading and writing data. OPcache and per-site Redis avoid repeating unnecessary work. We also fine-tune the web server, PHP and database so WordPress responds quickly and makes better use of its resources as activity increases.
WebMonster Performance Engine brings our optimisations, server caching and your WordPress website together. Many requests can then be served without generating the content from scratch, cutting loading times and freeing up resources for tasks that need them.
Protection in multiple layers
Your website is vital to your business. So is its security.
Your WordPress website and staging environments each run in their own isolated container. We apply server-level security measures and WordPress-specific rules, with protection against brute-force attacks, malware, bots, malicious traffic and DDoS attacks.
If you need to recover an earlier version, geo-redundant backups are taken every 6 hours and kept for 30 days. You can also create a backup before an important change and restore from the control panel, with help from our support team when you need it.
Priority specialist WordPress support
When you need help, your request takes priority.
A blank screen, an error you can't make sense of or settings that just won't work. We investigate hosting problems and common WordPress issues, explain what's happening and help you find a solution.
With Business Cloud Hosting, your requests receive higher priority. And if you have a serious incident, you can submit an emergency support request at any time, including weekends and public holidays.
More resources, without interrupting your website
Need more power?
Upgrade in seconds.
If you need more resources, you can upgrade your plan from the WebMonster control panel. Once you purchase the upgrade, the new limits apply automatically within seconds, without interrupting the service.
If you only need more storage or monthly data transfer, you can increase either with an add-on, without changing plans.
It's all in the details
Much more than raw power.

Moving your website and email to WebMonster is easy
You don't have to move a single file or mailbox yourself. Just tell us where your website and email are hosted now, and we'll take care of the move from there. It's quick, and it won't cost you a thing.
30-day money-back guarantee
You're going to love WebMonster. We're pretty sure of it. But if you're not happy, let us know within 30 days of signing up and we'll refund your money. The guarantee covers hosting and email, but not other services or domains (you can't unregister a domain). And cancelling is even easier than signing up. As it should be.
No small print
The drawbacks. In big print.
We're not for everyone, and that's fine. Here we explain the limits of our services and what we don't include, so you know what to expect. This isn't a marketing trick. We'd genuinely like to see more companies do the same.
Frequently asked questions
Questions you might have
What's the difference between WordPress Cloud Hosting and Business Cloud Hosting?
WordPress Cloud Hosting lets you host one or more websites, with the same per-site CPU and memory limits across all plans. Upgrading lets you host more websites, but doesn't increase the processing power of each one.
Business Cloud Hosting is designed for a single, more demanding website. It uses more powerful servers, with no more than 20 websites per server, and offers more resources according to the plan you choose. It also includes priority support, two staging environments and backups every 6 hours.
How do I know if my website needs Business Cloud Hosting?
It may be a good fit if your website receives lots of visitors during advertising campaigns, runs a busy online shop, serves many users at once or runs resource-intensive processes.
It may also suit you if your website is business-critical and you need more headroom for traffic spikes, priority support, more frequent backups and two testing environments. If you're unsure, tell us about your website and we'll help assess the resources you need.
Will Business Cloud Hosting make my website faster?
Probably: we've seen WordPress websites load noticeably faster as soon as they move to WebMonster, thanks to WebMonster Performance Engine and server caching.
Business Cloud Hosting provides more processing power, more memory and infrastructure optimised for WordPress. If your current hosting is limiting performance, that extra headroom can make a significant difference.
But adding resources won't fix a slow plugin, an inefficient query or an external integration that's slow to respond. Business Cloud Hosting gives your website a strong technical foundation, but doesn't include the regular work on your website's performance that comes with WebMonster Managed.
Can I host several websites on one plan?
Each plan includes one live website and two staging environments. These are for preparing and testing changes, not hosting additional public websites.
If you have several websites, you can purchase a Business Cloud Hosting subscription for each, or combine services: keep less demanding websites on WordPress Cloud Hosting and use Business Cloud Hosting for those that need more power.
Can I change plans without taking my website offline?
Yes. When you purchase an upgrade, the new limits apply automatically within seconds, without interrupting the service.
More visitors won't trigger an automatic paid upgrade: you decide when to upgrade.
Can I increase just storage or monthly data transfer?
Yes. You can purchase additional storage or monthly data transfer without changing plans. These add-ons don't increase the available CPU or memory.
Your plan's storage is shared between the website, databases, email and staging environments. Backups don't count towards your storage allowance.
Do I need to transfer my domain too?
No. You can keep your domain registered with another provider. Its DNS records will need to point to the relevant services; we'll explain the changes required.
What does WordPress support include?
It includes questions, general technical assistance and help diagnosing and resolving common issues within the scope of hosting support.
It doesn't include custom development, design changes, proactive maintenance or unlimited support for third-party plugins and integrations. If you need these services, take a look at WebMonster Managed and WebMonster Pros.
Is emergency support available 24/7?
Yes. If you have a serious incident, open a support request from the control panel with emergency priority.
This doesn't mean we handle every question or task at any hour, and it doesn't guarantee an instant response.
Can I use another provider for email?
Yes. You can use the email included with Business Cloud Hosting or keep it elsewhere by configuring the relevant DNS records. You don't need to move your email to host your website with us.
