Features
Every account comes with a control panel built for WordPress. You install and update your sites there, make test copies, read your email and see why a site is slow.
WordPress Toolkit
Each WordPress site has its own tabs in the panel: updates, plugins, themes, users, settings and security. Agencies also get a list of every site, to update them all at once.
- One-click install, single site or Multisite (folders or subdomains)
- Sign in to wp-admin from the panel without a password
- Plugins and themes from WordPress.org or a .zip, with auto-updates per item
- Users: add them, change their role or password
- Staging on a subdomain, with push back to the live site
- Maintenance mode, debug mode and WP-Cron run by the server
- Security check with one-click fixes (xmlrpc, file editing, author scans)
Speed
Your site is quick from day one: NVMe drives, HTTP/2, compression and browser caching. You turn on the page cache, Redis and OPcache from the site’s Caching tab.
- nginx page cache; WooCommerce carts and checkout bypass it
- Redis object cache, with the plugin installed for you
- OPcache, with JIT on PHP 8
- Brotli and gzip, HTTP/2, WebP copies served automatically
- Your choice of PHP version for each site
- memory_limit, upload size, max_input_vars and PHP extensions in the panel
- A report of slow plugins, queries and pages
Security
Each account runs isolated: your PHP sees only your files and has its own memory and CPU limits. Known attacks are stopped before they reach WordPress.
- ModSecurity firewall with the OWASP Core Rule Set
- Malware scanning, with infected files moved to quarantine
- WordPress files checked against the originals on WordPress.org
- Addresses that keep guessing passwords are banned (CrowdSec)
- Let’s Encrypt SSL, including wildcard certificates for Multisite
- Two-factor sign-in for your AYT account and the panel
- PHP blocked in wp-content/uploads, sensitive files locked away
Email on your domain
Addresses like [email protected] that you read in the browser or any mail app. DKIM and SPF are set up for you, so your mail doesn’t land in spam.
- Roundcube webmail at webmail.your-domain
- IMAP and SMTP for Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail and your phone
- Forwarders, autoresponders and filters
- Spam filter with an adjustable threshold
- Mailing lists (announcements or discussion)
- Synced calendars and contacts (CalDAV and CardDAV)
Domains and DNS
Add domains, subdomains and aliases, each with its own site. Keep DNS with us or in your own Cloudflare account, and edit it from the same panel.
- Addon domains, subdomains and aliases
- DNS record editor (A, CNAME, MX, TXT and more)
- DNS through your own Cloudflare account, proxied if you like
- Redirects, www or bare domain, HTTP to HTTPS
Files and databases
Work on your files in the browser or over FTP. Databases run on MariaDB, and phpMyAdmin opens straight from the panel without another password.
- File Manager with a code editor, drag-and-drop uploads and zip archives
- A trash folder for deleted files
- Encrypted FTP (FTPS), plus FTP accounts limited to one folder
- MariaDB databases with phpMyAdmin
- Cron jobs for scheduled tasks
Backups
Every night we back up your files and databases to another server. We keep the last 7 days, one a week for the last 4 weeks and the last of each month for 2 years.
- Restore a whole site or just a few files
- Choose to restore the files, the database or both
- Download a copy of a site (.tar.gz and .sql.gz)
- Backups live on a different server from your site
Monitoring and statistics
We check every site every minute. If it stops answering, runs out of memory or a plugin slows it down, you get a message.
- Uptime for the last 30 days
- Graphs of your account’s CPU, memory and processes
- Email alerts for the events you pick
- AWStats: visitors, pages and traffic sources
- Bandwidth per domain
- Error and access logs in the panel
Backups, staging, Redis, and monitoring with alerts come with paid plans. The free plan has the panel, WordPress Toolkit, SSL, files, databases, DNS and email. There’s no SSH, Git or Node.js access: you upload files through the File Manager or FTPS.
