Manage your site, staging, backups, and databases from one clean dashboard - no separate logins to juggle.
Choose fully Managed WordPress with staging, auto-updates and one-click rollback - or fast standard WordPress hosting on LiteSpeed + NVMe from £9.99/year. Either way, your site loads fast and stays secure.
Managed WordPress runs on its own dedicated environment built specifically for WordPress - every account comes with WordPress pre-installed, so there's nothing to set up before you start. WordPress Toolkit handles one-click core, theme and plugin updates, a staging environment lets you test changes safely before they go live, and automated backups give you granular restore.
It's the right choice if you don't want to think about maintenance, or you manage sites for clients and want a proper staging workflow rather than editing live.
Every standard DragonWebHost shared hosting plan already runs LiteSpeed, LSCache, and NVMe storage - WordPress installs in one click via Softaculous and performs well out of the box. If you're comfortable handling your own updates and backups, this is the more affordable option.
You don't need Managed WordPress for a simple site - but if you'd rather not touch the admin side at all, that's exactly what it's for.
