We are ridiculously fast, reliable, secure and managed WordPress hosting.
Why VFH.io? Here’s why.
We could blather on about cores and RAM and clouds and virtualization, but let’s just skip the technology conference and get straight to the point. When you host your WordPress-based site with us, here’s what’s gonna happen. You’ll enjoy:
A very fast website
Have you ever seen a cheetah sprinting across the golden fields of an African savanna? Seriously, Google that ish. Then imagine your website sprinting across that savanna, twenty-four hours a day. We offer blistering speeds made possible by generous resource allocation, use of SSD storage, PHP 7.x and a relentless focus on optimization.
Hassle-free WordPress
First, we’ll provide a free, personalized transfer of your website to our servers. Just sign up, give us a few details and we’ll take it from there!
Next, we’ll offer a complementary, personal review of your WordPress site; we’ll chat with you about what’s already working and make suggestions as to what could be better.
Then, we’ll manage all of your WordPress core and plugin updates on your behalf, using InfiniteWP. These updates help keep your site secure and running as smoothly as possible.
Total peace of mind
Backup plans just aren’t sexy; no one likes thinking about smoke detectors or seat belts. But if something ever does happen to your website, you’ll be glad to know that our 24/7 proactive uptime monitoring will alert you — and us — to many problems within minutes (and we’ll already be logging in to investigate).
Finally, you’ll always have access to thirty days of contiguous, automated backups stored on Amazon’s S3; in a worst case scenario, these critical files can get you back up and running within hours.
A very secure website
Do you like cleaning up hacked WordPress sites? Yeah, neither do we. We include a free SSL certificate with each and every website, deploy WordFence and engage a variety of industry-standard, best practices to help ensure that your site stays forever unblemished by opportunistic Viagra spammers and generous Nigerian princes.
A genuine, human connection
Who loves chatting with disinterested strangers halfway around the world? No one, that’s who. We truly care about each and every one of our clients’ websites as if they were our own; we want you to feel like a VIP and personal friend.
Here’s what a few of our clients have to say
“[Chris] has been such a huge help in my business; I love knowing that I’m in really great hands. My websites are so much faster and so much more reliable!”
Molly Marie Keyser
Founder, BoudieShorts.com
“Since moving to VFH, problems that came up were found and resolved before I even had a chance to check things out in the first place! [Chris] worked insanely fast, responded immediately to questions and concerns, and had me up and running in no time. And now everything just works!”
Adam Nyholt
Wedding and portrait photographer
“Switching to VFH was absolutely the smartest business move I made last year. With two websites and two businesses to run, what I DON’T have time for is wondering whether my sites are up and running optimally. Enter Chris and VFH. He moved my sites over seamlessly, is always available for a question and is proactive about coming up with tools and ideas for making my clients’ web experience better. The fact that I just don’t have to worry about backups, updates and more means that I have more time to devote to the businesses I love!”
Anna Sawin
Founder of Pencil and Lens
“Before hosting with VFH, we kept getting hacked and our website was clunky. Now, things are running faster and smoother than ever, and without any breaches in security. For us, that is good news!”
Cody Balch
Pastor, Good News Family
“I was dubious to switch to a host that I’d never heard of but thanks to the excellent support and advice offered by Chris from VFH, I decided to make the initial probational switch … and I’m so happy I did so! The speeds are faster than WPEngine, who up to now I thought were the fastest host for my website. In addition, VFH is better value too. All in all, very pleased with VFH and can’t recommend it and Chris enough.”
Mark Condon
Founder, ShotKit.com
“I struggled to find a great host for years. [Chris] literally saved my photography website after many hacks and email issues. He is knowledgeable, friendly and overall a great human. I will never go back to any other company.”
Hillary Ferguson-King
Wedding and portrait photographer
“[Before], my site was loading extremely slow, there were a bunch of broken links and other errors. I just couldn’t figure it all out. … [Chris] is professional, helpful and kind; he handled all the problems that I was having … I look forward to working with him well into the future!”
Amy Bennett
Wedding and portrait photographer
Frequently asked questions
Why is web hosting so expensive? Why aren’t you $2.95 a month like those guys on TV?
Ten-year old hardware is cheap. Outsourcing support to disposable technicians on another continent is cheap. Working without a safety net is cheap.
Cutting edge processing power isn’t cheap. Rebuilding your website after your discount host suffered an “unforeseen technical issue” isn’t cheap. A slow website which decimates your conversion isn’t cheap.
Top-shelf hardware and VIP-level service is expensive. But we’d rather invest in VIP-level service than in Super Bowl ads. We hope you’ll agree.
Will you migrate my site for me?
Of course, we’re happy to offer a free, personalized transfer.
Plus, we’ll run all of your image files through JPEGmini as we migrate them to make your website even faster.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
Nope. We hope you’ll love us, but you’re under absolutely no obligation whatsoever.
Can you help me update this page or redesign this gallery or code this feature?
Our developers will be happy to assist you with any such work for at an hourly rate.
