Simplenet is the fifth hosting service I’ve used, and the first I’ve ever created a Google review for. Their customer service is first class: very responsive, always getting to the heart of the matter quickly, and then sorting things out patiently and expediently. I recommend Simplenet without hesitation.
Philip S.
These guys are amazing, they helped me every time and super fast. Being a beginner with WordPress I do need a lot of help and ask probably a lot of stupid questions but they never run out of patience or turn me down. Thank you Simplenet!

Frequently asked questions about managed WordPress hosting.
If you do not find answers to all your questions, you can contact us, and we will answer you as soon as possible with all the information you want.
What is managed WordPress hosting?
Managed WordPress hosting is a web hosting solution where only one WordPress website is hosted in a container on a cloud server that is set up with a minimalist high-performance stack. We manage the stack, clients manage their WordPress website.
How much traffic can your WordPress hosting handle?
These kinds of estimates are difficult to make because they depend on many aspects like type of traffic, databases, plugins, quality of code, etc. We cannot guarantee a certain level of traffic, but from our experience, they can handle quite the load.
Is WordPress hosting exclusive for WordPress?
Technically you can host any PHP app on our plans, but we choose to focus on WordPress, and we cannot offer support for other apps.
What are PHP workers, and why do they matter?
A PHP worker is a computing process that runs the PHP code of your WordPress site.
In the context of web hosting, PHP is single-threaded, so WordPress, being a PHP application, is also single-threaded. This means that each WordPress request (a visit) is handled by a single PHP worker using a single CPU core.
The advantage of having multiple PHP workers is that it can allow the site to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. Essentially, the more there are, the higher the level of traffic that can be supported.
Why not have unlimited workers then?
Because workers are not the only variable in the equation. PHP workers + the other variables: CPU, memory and workload (PHP code efficiency), all need to be in harmony when it comes to properly sizing a hosting stack.
PHP code efficiency is most important. Increasing the other three can allow you to do more slow and inefficient tasks at the same time, but without any effect on performance (how quickly those tasks are completed).
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes, you can request the cancellation of your service within 14 days, and we will refund the money. Exceptions are for domain registrations, which are not refundable.
What are the payment methods?
You can pay via Stripe with your card or make a bank transfer. When making bank transfers, please submit in the payment details field the pro forma number.
Do you charge VAT/sales tax?
Prices listed on our website do not include VAT or other taxes. Tax will be added to your invoice as a separate line item.
If your company is registered in EU VIES, you can add your VAT number at checkout, and VAT will not be added to your invoice if the VAT number is valid.
Where can I host my website?
We currently offer managed WordPress hosting in the following locations in Europe: Germany, Poland, Finland, Sweden, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, and the UK.
If you need hosting in a different area, like the US, Australia, Asia, or South America, please get in touch with us. We can spin up a new cloud server in minutes and you can launch in your desired location.
Can I host WordPress Multisite?
Unfortunately, we don’t support the use of WordPress Multisite on our hosting plans.
Is email included?
No. Email hosting is a whole other product and can be quite tricky to get right with all the spam, bots, filters, blocklists, IP reputation management, etc. so we leave that to the pros.
If you just need to be able to receive emails for your domains, Email Forwarding might be the most cost-effective method. Cloudflare has a free tier that includes email forwarding. We can help you set it up.
If you need to send email, we recommend using specialised email providers such as Google Workspace or Outlook 365, as they are the most reliable.
Transactional emails: You must set up a transactional email service for WordPress emails, such as form submissions or password resets. A plugin like Fluent SMTP can connect services such as Sendgrid, Amazon SES, Postmark, Mailgun, and more.
Is DNS hosting included?
Yes. We offer DNS hosting, and we also have a Cloudflare integration. This integration enables you to automatically synchronise DNS records with Cloudflare for one or more of the domains in your organisation.
Is cPanel included?
No, our managed WordPress hosting does not include cPanel. cPanel is used for traditional all-in-one generic hosting, and our solution is a specialised WordPress hosting. You will have access to our own control panel focused on WordPress websites management.
How long does it take to activate my WordPress hosting account?
The account is activated immediately upon payment and the credentials are sent to your email.
