Jesse Friedman hosts Jessica Frick (Pressable) and Joshua Goode (WP Cloud) to define quality managed WordPress hosting. They discuss how true managed hosting provides security through site isolation, malware protection, and vulnerability scanning. Performance considerations include preventing “noisy neighbors,” implementing multi-level caching, and maintaining control over third-party services. The conversation highlights the value of reliability through geo-redundant infrastructure and responsive human support. Developer tools like SSH access, WP CLI, and Git integration are essential for agencies. They emphasize that while lower-cost options exist, truly managed hosting delivers peace of mind through thoughtful infrastructure decisions and specialized WordPress expertise.
