The fastest WordPress Hosting: independent evidence
Our WordPress Managed Hosting packages are optimised for speed.
Don’t just take our word for it. Independent tests show that typical WordPress pages hosted on the Acorn Web Hosting platform load in just a quarter of a second. Other UK hosts take up to 11.92 seconds. That makes Acorn Web Hosting up to 48x faster.
These tests were carried out by LoadImpact.com, using 50 concurrent requests. They showed that Acorn Web Hosting were up to 48x faster than other web hosts.
Page speed is crucial for better search engine rankings and happy visitors.

How do we do it?
Our Global CDN and Acceleration Suite
For global edge-caching, all WordPress hosting plans include a free fully-featured Content Delivery Network (CDN). Your content will be stored at data centres close to the user, around the world. Our Website Acceleration Suite optimises images and code to improve site speed. Experiment with over 30 different features or use our ‘one-click’ optimisation to make your site fly!
Our super-fast edge cache engine
Our WordPress platform sits behind a NGINX edge cache system: StackCache, which uses the same infrastructure as our CDN. It’s configured to speed up page loading for users. Although it works straight out of the box, advanced users might want to manage the cached content themselves. The StackCache plugin interface inside WordPress makes this simple.
The Acorn Web Hosting hosting platform
All our servers use autoscaling tech unique to Acorn Web Hosting: instead of your site being limited to the resources of a single server, it has access to the entire hosting platform. We make use of branded hardware, load balancing and 100% SSD storage. Our proprietary PHP optimisation makes your sites faster than light speed! Read more about the Acorn Web Hosting platform.

WordPress Tools
Having the best hosting isn’t just about speed. Acorn Web Hosting WordPress Tools is a set of features and solutions that make developing and managing websites easier.
It was created by the Acorn Web Hosting team, so we’re able to offer it at no extra cost with all our WordPress Hosting.

WordPress Staging
Staging creates an exact clone of your live site, where you can make modifications or experiment with new features. Once happy with the results, you can deploy those changes over to the live site seamlessly.
WordPress Themes
Having unused WordPress themes can affect site performance. Quickly see what themes you have installed, update them in bulk and activate or deactivate them. Spring-clean your site and maybe shave off some milliseconds in loading time.
WordPress Plugins
Sometimes it’s better to start afresh, rather than struggling with a broken website. Start over with a clean install on either your live or staging site.
WordPress Security
If there’s something fishy about the code, WordPress Tools will let you know. It’s an extra level of protection on top of our malware scans and other hosting security features.
WordPress Users
Got a collaborator or guest blogger to add? Or need to audit which staff have access? User Management lets you add WordPress roles, custom roles and set permissions.

Managed updates and security

Daily backups
Timeline Backups protect your website data. They take daily snapshots of your WordPress site and database, allowing you to restore back to an earlier time. You can restore your site in a moment – which helps if you’ve been hacked – or if you’ve made a serious mistake, like deleting something you shouldn’t…

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
WordPress Hosting FAQs
Trying a small design tweak or something major like a new theme? Being able to test out your changes in a safe, non ‘live’ environment is a blessing. WordPress Staging clones your website to a safe staging environment that only you can see. You can then make a change and watch everything break…without worrying!
Once it’s all fixed and you’re happy with the site in staging, just click ‘clone to live’ and your site gets updated. No one will need to know about your development hell…
Just choose a package, make payment and enter your domain name. If you don’t have a domain, you can find a domain here. A fresh new install of the latest stable version of WordPress will be ready and waiting for you.
It’s simple to migrate your site using a WordPress plugin, and if you have more than 10 sites to move to us, find out about Assisted Migration.
You also get access to our Migration Centre. You can use this to transfer all website files, databases and email from any provider using CPanel or Plesk, Heart Internet and Fasthosts. It’s a simple process of entering the credentials of your provider and choosing which packages you’d like to migrate. The migration will complete automatically.
Yes, you can code away to your heart’s content in the WordPress Command Line Interface (CLI). It’s included with all WP installs.
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS). It’s user-friendly and performs well. It’s open source and easy to install and upgrade.
WordPress benefits from its popularity. As it has the world’s largest ecosystem, a huge number of themes and plugins make it extremely versatile. If you ever have a problem, there should always be someone out there who can help you. That’s why we have a dedicated hosting platform optimised for WordPress.
Still – other CMS are available! If you’d like to run your website on different software, our standard web hosting or Managed VPS might be more up your street.
The magic comes from our load-balancers. They’re constantly monitoring all requests to our network. When a website receives a large number of hits it’s quickly isolated and moved to its own dedicated backend. This keeps your business running quickly at the most critical of times, but also means that your neighbours on our shared hosting aren’t affected by your spikes in traffic. We call these spikes the ‘Dragons’ Den Effect’.
If you want the best performance for your WordPress website, we’d recommend our WordPress Hosting. It’s optimised to ensure WordPress works at its absolute best.
We also provide Linux hosting which can be used for WordPress. But it won’t benefit from the exclusive performance optimisation that you get with StackCache.
