Managed WP Hosting
Unlike typical hosting companies that offer hosting that can meet the minimum requirements for running a WordPress website – Loud Sky Hosting specializes in hosting only WordPress websites. All of our managed WordPress hosting plans offer substantially more value than a typical hosting account. When we say managed, we mean that we take care of WordPress updates, plugin updates, theme updates, 24/7 WordPress security monitoring, nightly WordPress backups in the cloud, and much more.
One of the best ways of protecting your WordPress website from hackers is to have the latest version of WordPress, its plugins, and themes installed. Failure to update your WordPress website exposes you and your customers. Our managed WordPress hosting service will update your WordPress website whenever there is a new version available. We take the worry out of running your WordPress website!
WP Maintenance
While our hosting is outstanding, the truth is that it may not be the right fit for everyone. Maybe you just moved to a new host, or you are tied to your current host. If you’d like to still benefit from the maintenance services offered with our hosting plans without switching hosts, then our WordPress maintenance plans are for you.

SSL Certificates
SSL certificates are vital for protecting information sent between your website and your visitor’s browser by encrypting the data. Are you collecting sensitive information such as Social Security Numbers or credit card numbers? You need to protect that information as it is being sent to you – otherwise, you run the risk of exposing that information to hackers.
Furthermore, browsers display visual cues such as a padlock or green address bar for websites with an SSL certificate. This adds trust for your customers – which can increase your conversion rates. SSL certificate providers will issue you a trust seal to put onto your wesbite – further adding trust for your customers.
There is also an added SEO benefit for websites with an SSL certificate – Google gives secure websites a ranking boost.
Domain Names
What’s in a domain name? It’s the gateway to your company website, your brand, your image, and synonymous with your reputation. You may want something catchy and memorable, or you may want something descriptive of whatever it is that you’re selling. In either case, you need a domain name. Choosing the right domain name is key. While it’s possible to rebrand in the future, doing so because you didn’t get it right the first time is an uphill battle.
While there are many different domain extensions out there, the .com domain extension is widely regarded as the king of domain extensions. Having a .com domain name is typically seen as more professional than other extensions. Plus, many people forget that your domain isn’t a .com, and will default to typing it in over other domain extensions – translating into lost opportunities. Choose wisely!
