If you are looking for a managed WordPress hosting provider, you need to ensure they offer a few things. First, the hosting needs to be fast, reliable, and secure. You must ensure your client sites are always up and won’t have malware issues. Second, automatic daily backups are essential these days, and there is no reason they shouldn’t be done at the host level. Third, a dashboard where you can easily manage your client’s websites. Fourth, a provided SSL certificate. And in most cases, these should be free. Rarely do you need to purchase an SSL certificate for your business. And last, but still very important, is an excellent service team. When you trust a hosting company with your business, you need to ensure their customer service team will have your back.
