Questions & Answers
It is a managed hosting platform for WordPress, not full management of your WordPress application.
We maintain the hosting platform, its optimized performance and key tools, including daily platform-wide backups that give us a recovery point if something goes wrong at platform level.
You manage your WordPress installation, plugins, themes, content, application security and your own independent backups.
Website Hosting and WordPress Hosting run on the same clustered platform and share the same essentials: control panel, SSL, email, DNS tools, databases and daily platform backups.
WordPress Hosting adds a WordPress-focused layer: integrated caching and optimization, staging and cloning, safer update tools, and normal placement on higher-frequency processors. Website Hosting is the economical choice when you do not need that layer.
WordPress Hosting runs PHP 8.1 through 8.5, and you can switch PHP version per site from the control panel.
There are no unusual restrictions on plugins or themes: standard WordPress plugins and themes work as they do anywhere else.
Free migration of one existing WordPress website is included with any WordPress Hosting plan, subject to a practical review of the site.
We normally need access to your current hosting account or a complete backup of the WordPress files and database. We then move the website to ServeTheWorld and help you test it before the final switch.
Your domain can remain with its current provider or be transferred to ServeTheWorld separately using an authorization code from the existing registrar. We generally recommend moving and testing the website first, then updating or transferring the domain once everything is ready.
We plan the process with you to keep disruption to a minimum. Although we cannot guarantee zero downtime in every case, the goal is a transition that you and your visitors barely notice..
STWmail is included with every domain or hosting plan at ServeTheWorld. It provides modern, ad-free webmail with two-factor authentication, calendar, contacts and to-do lists. If your domain is registered elsewhere, you can also connect it to STWmail.
You can create unlimited email addresses and aliases for the domains using the service. The free tier offers 300 MB per mailbox, and individual mailboxes can be upgraded for more storage and functionality.
STWmail is designed for normal correspondence and has sending limits in place, including 200 recipients per mailbox per hour and 500 emails per domain per hour. Smaller email campaigns may fit within those limits, but larger outreach campaigns are normally better handled through dedicated email marketing platforms or mailing-list services.
Fair use applies to prevent spam abuse, protect mail delivery quality and keep the shared mail platform reliable for all customers.
If you need root access, custom server software, dedicated resources or unusually high resource use, a VPS is the next step.
We can help you move a WordPress site from shared hosting to one of our VPS or VDS plans.
