Description

LiteSpeed and LSCache
KnownHost runs WordPress sites on LiteSpeed with LSCache. The combination provides server-level caching designed to reduce page loading times and improve WordPress performance.
NVMe Storage
Managed WordPress plans use NVMe storage, which provides faster storage access than traditional hard drives and helps websites handle database and file operations more efficiently.
Managed WordPress Updates
KnownHost handles WordPress core updates and provides tools for managing plugin and theme updates. This reduces routine maintenance work for site owners.
Staging and Cloning
Users can create staging environments and clone WordPress sites for testing. This lets you try changes before applying them to the live website.
Security Protection
WordPress accounts are protected with Imunify360, including real-time malware scanning and a Web Application Firewall. KnownHost also provides security hardening and threat protection.
Automated Backups
Scheduled backups are included with the WordPress plans, with JetBackup access available for managing backup copies and recovery.
Free Site Migration
KnownHost's migration team can move an existing WordPress website to its servers without charging a migration fee.
WP Toolkit
WP Toolkit provides tools for staging, cloning, security hardening, smart updates, plugin and theme management, and one-click WordPress administrator login.
24/7/365 Support
Technical assistance is available around the clock. HostAdvice's hands-on test recorded a five-minute ticket response and a live chat response in under one minute during business hours.
Multiple Data Centers
Managed WordPress hosting is available in Atlanta, Seattle, and Amsterdam, giving customers a choice of server location based on where their visitors are located.

What is KnownHost?

KnownHost is a web hosting provider that offers shared hosting, managed WordPress hosting, VPS, cloud, reseller, and dedicated server services. The company has been in business since 2006 and operates infrastructure in Atlanta, Seattle, and Amsterdam.

Its managed WordPress service is built specifically for WordPress websites rather than being a standard hosting account with WordPress installed. KnownHost uses LiteSpeed and LSCache with NVMe storage, while the WordPress platform includes tools for staging, cloning, site management, backups, and security.
