Frequently asked questions

What is Managed WordPress Hosting and why do I need it?

Managed WordPress Hosting is an enhanced version of one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) available as it offers your website faster speeds, improved security, automated backups as well as the ability to access staging environments, which allow you to preview any changes you make before making them live on your website.

In addition to this, its incredibly easy-to-use interface means that you can customise your site’s content without any effort, while you can also install a range of third-party plugins that will further enhance your site and its capabilities.

What is the difference between Web Hosting and WordPress Hosting?

Web hosting is about the online space and resources needed to make websites accessible on the internet. WordPress Hosting is designed specifically for websites using the WordPress platform, with features and performance geared towards those users.

What is the difference between managed and unmanaged WordPress hosting?

Managed WordPress hosting simplifies website ownership by handling technical aspects like server management, security, and updates. This allows you to focus on creating content and growing your business. In contrast, unmanaged WordPress hosting places full responsibility on the website owner for these technical tasks, demanding a lot more expertise and time on the part of the user.

What are the benefits of Managed WordPress Hosting?

Managed WordPress hosting makes website ownership easy. You don’t need to be a tech expert to create a powerful, dynamic site. 123 Reg takes care of everything behind the scenes, letting you focus on growing your business. Enjoy fast load times with our advanced technology and global data centres. Our infrastructure ensures your site stays online even during peak traffic, with a 99.9% uptime guarantee. We also provide strong security measures to protect your site and data. For extra peace of mind, we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee.

How long does WordPress take to set up?

Most packages are set up immediately, and you can get your website online right away. In some cases, it might take a few days for the domain to fully register and point to your hosting package. This is perfectly normal and happens across every web host -it just takes time for the servers and the domains to sync up.

Does Managed WordPress Hosting include a domain?

Yes, all our hosting packages come with the a free .ONLINE domain name. Your domain will be free for the first year of registration, but you will need to renew it for the standard registration fee afterwards. If you cancel your Managed WordPress Hosting package, you will also need to let the domain name expire. Otherwise, you will be charged for it even if it isn’t pointing to a site.

Whichever new domain name you choose , all plans come with a free email address and SSL certificate included, giving you a complete online presence for your business.

Can I use a domain that I already own?

If your domain name is already registered with 123 Reg and you're not using it with another one of our services, then you can attach it to your Managed WordPress Hosting package when you order.

If your domain is registered with another company, there are two ways to use it with your hosting package:

Transfer it to 123 Reg and then attach it to your package. Most companies allow domain transfers, and we have a detailed guide on transferring domain names.You will need to wait for the transfer to complete before you purchase your hosting. This may take a few days depending on the type and location of the domain.

Leave the domain name where it is and point it at your hosted site on 123 Reg. We have detailed instructions on how to point your domain name to 123 Reg. You will still need to register a domain name when you purchase your web hosting, but we won’t charge you any additional fees. It will take around 24-48 hours for your other domain name to show on your new site.

How many websites can I run with my Managed WordPress Hosting plan?

Yes. Since each WordPress installation uses a MySQL database, you can perform 2 different actions. For example, if you have 5 WordPress websites, you could have each one on a separate database or install all 5 onto a single database.

However, having multiple sites on 1 database may cause some problems, such as the inability to restrict plugins or install new themes on certain sites. If you're looking for multiple sites, why not check out our ‘Multiple Websites’ WordPress plans, which can be purchased here.

What happens to my free domain names if I cancel my account?

It's entirely up to you. If you decide you don't want the domains any longer, you can let them expire once they reach their renewal date.

You can also keep them and use them, but you will need to pay the standard renewal price when they get close to their renewal date. We'll let you know before they expire, so you won't have to worry about them suddenly disappearing.

How diverse are the possibilities for customisation?

With dozens of different themes to choose from, no two websites will look the same. What’s more, you can easily tweak any fonts, colours as well as your page layout yourself, allowing for further personalisation.

You can see the complete selection of themes and plugins that are available for WordPress on their official website:

WordPress Themes

WordPress Plugins

There are dozens of options to choose from, although some may incur a fee.

How much does Managed WordPress Hosting cost in UK?

Our plans start from just 99p per month (when purchased on a yearly contract), while our higher-tier Managed WordPress hosting plans cost up to £19.99 per month.

Although WordPress is free to download, once you’ve made your website, you’ll need to host it somewhere. That’s where our hosting packages come in, as they will automatically handle the installation process for you and ensure that your website always remains incredibly quick and secure.

Can I upgrade my Managed WordPress Hosting package?

If you want to take advantage of the extra features with our Managed WordPress Hosting plans, log in to your 123 Reg Control Panel at any time and choose the Upgrade option.

From there, we'll calculate the new cost of your package and adjust it accordingly.
