Our experts manage all technical operations through 3 complementary areas
A solid technical stack
Because a high-performance site starts with choosing a quality server, we have opted for a no-compromise solution:
- VPS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS geolocated in France, with AMD Epyc 9554 CPU (pro range), NVMe drive, and 99.9% SLA.
- Nginx web server paired with PHP 8.5 in FPM mode, MySQL 8.4 database engine, and Redis object cache.
- Cloudflare Pro CDN with Edge Caching (300 points of presence), ensuring fast loading worldwide.
- Security via a dual Web Application Firewall (WAF) and a proven anti-DDoS mitigation interface.
- Protection against scraping and automated malicious traffic through the implementation of targeted WAF rules.
- 24/7 uptime and performance monitoring to anticipate any network or hardware infrastructure issues.
- Daily backups stored in the Cloud (Amazon S3), with 90-day retention and one-minute restoration.
This allows us to offer optimal response times: TTFB under 300 ms and LCP under 2.5 seconds, among others. Smoothness is guaranteed on the most resource-intensive installations, especially those built with WooCommerce (online sales), WPML or TranslatePress (multilingual), or Elementor and Divi (page builders) plugins.

What does WordPress website maintenance include?
WordPress website maintenance includes recurring operations that keep the installation healthy over time: updates to the core, extensions, and theme, backups, security patches, error monitoring, and database cleanup. **Without maintenance, a site degrades within months**, in terms of both performance and security.
Our WordPress maintenance covers five areas. Updates, applied at least once a week on the server and the installation, after verifying that they do not introduce regressions. Backups, **daily and off-site from the production server**, without which a backup protects against nothing.
Next come security, with the application of patches as soon as they are released and monitoring of intrusion attempts; database health, whose log tables and revisions silently grow; and finally performance monitoring, where **Core Web Vitals evolution is tracked in the field** rather than in a lab.
This maintenance is performed on an infrastructure that we administer from end to end: VPS and VDS servers located in France, never shared hosting. **You retain control over your content**, we take care of everything below, from the operating system to the WordPress configuration.
You have a question?
We have the answer!
Consult the FAQ for more details on the service.
Performant WordPress hosting is based on four pillars: dedicated server resources, an up-to-date software stack, a well-configured server cache, and continuous monitoring. **The absence of resource sharing most clearly distinguishes a performant offer from an entry-level offer.**
We have opted for some of the most powerful VPS on the market. Their **16-core AMD EPYC 9554 CPU at 3.1 Ghz** is backed by 32 GB of RAM, for simply unmatched performance. The Geekbench 6 scores, the reference benchmarking tool, are as follows:
- Single core: 2000
- Multi core: 13,500
The software stack, installed on a Linux Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, is designed to take full advantage of this raw power. As a result, your WordPress feels like it's on steroids: administration is ultra-responsive, and cache generation is much faster. Contributors and clients alike can therefore take full advantage of it.
We intervene at least once a week on the site to update the server and the WordPress installation.
A web performance expert also performs analysis of the performance data collected in the field via our performance monitoring tool. This is a service also available as a standalone offering and highly valued by our clients.
Depending on the evolution of Core Web Vitals, they can then intervene to make technical changes, or send a message to report potential areas for improvement related to practices such as content contribution or the use of third-party tools.
So you can continue to feed and maintain your site, and we'll take care of ensuring that it doesn't introduce any regressions.
We respond to requests via the messaging system provided for this purpose within one to two hours on weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Depending on the criticality, message exchanges and technical interventions may be carried out on weekends or public holidays.
The service costs €450 excl. tax per month, as an all-inclusive package: hosting, server management, WordPress maintenance, backups, performance monitoring, and technical support are included, with no additional costs or per-intervention billing. The subscription is monthly and without a time commitment.
Given the uncompromising approach of this managed, maintained, and monitored hosting offer, its cost is however higher than most existing solutions, with the exception of certain Premium Cloud offers.
It is therefore primarily aimed at e-commerce businesses, publishers of high-traffic information or news sites, or SaaS solutions or affiliate sites with high availability and high performance constraints.
Hosting provides the machine, management provides the human labor that keeps it running. A traditional host rents you resources and guarantees they stay on; management handles daily operations: server configuration, updates, security, backups, and monitoring.
The distinction is crucial on WordPress, where performance depends as much on software stack tuning as on raw power. Two sites installed on the same server can have response times ranging from one to five times slower depending on the configuration of PHP, cache, and the database. This tuning is the responsibility of IT management, never of hosting alone.
Our service covers both levels, as well as performance monitoring. Therefore, you don't have to choose between a host, a maintenance provider, and a performance expert: a single point of contact is responsible for the entire chain.
Maintenance covers core, plugin, and theme updates, backups, security patches, error monitoring, and database maintenance. Each update is verified before application, as a poorly updated plugin breaks more sites than an obsolete one.
We intervene at least once a week on the server and the installation, and backups are daily and outsourced. The section on maintenance, higher up on this page, details the five aspects covered and what remains on your end, namely your content.
Six technical criteria distinguish a fast host from a cheap one: non-shared CPU and memory resources, a recent PHP version with properly sized OPcache, NVMe storage, server cache, HTTP/3 enabled, and servers located near your visitors.
The criterion that weighs the most remains the first one. On shared hosting, resources are shared among hundreds of sites: your response time then depends on your neighbors' traffic, without you being able to do anything about it. Moving to a dedicated server or a VPS is the only way to regain control.
No offer can be judged by its sales pitch. The verdict is read in the site's real-world TTFB, measured during your actual traffic hours: this metric, and only this one, tells you if your hosting lives up to its promises.
Rarely, and never guaranteed. The principle of shared hosting is to distribute the same server among hundreds of accounts: resources are shared and not reserved. Therefore, a site can be fast during off-peak hours and slow at the same time as a neighbor launches a heavy process.
Structural limitations are also added: no access to PHP or database configuration, InnoDB buffer pool left at its default value, server cache absent or imposed, and inability to install an object cache. Half of the performance levers become inaccessible, regardless of the care taken with the site itself.
Shared hosting remains defensible for a low-traffic showcase site with no conversion issues. As soon as there is a store, a significant audience, or a Core Web Vitals objective, it is the first item to upgrade, before any front-end optimization.
