Malware Scanning
Powered by Sucuri, the leader in web security, your site will be monitored around the clock for malicious hackers and security breaches.
Unsurpassable Firewall
Managed WordPress only allows HTTPS traffic to your site, opens the specific ports needed, and uses Google’s firewall to block bot-net IP addresses.
Auto WordPress updates
One of the most important things you can do to keep your site safe from malicious activity is to keep your WordPress core up-to-date. Managed WordPress takes these updates off your hands and handles them automatically.
Free SSL certificate

Your low-maintenance web hosting toolkit
Don’t let the technical aspects of web hosting slow you down. Let The Block’s suite of developer tools do the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on what makes you money.
Play in a safe environment
In Managed WordPress, your site comes with its own staging environment. That way you can test design changes and plugin, theme, or WordPress updates in a safe place.
Push to production
Workflows should be easy. Once you’re done working on your staging site, push changes and updates to your live site with a single click.
Google Analytics highlights
Managed WordPress comes with a dashboard that shows the highlights of Google Analytics so you can stay on top of performance metrics that matter.
Webpage change highlighter
Managed WordPress highlights all changes made since your last backup. This makes it easier than ever to identify what was updated, added, or removed since your last backup.
phpMyAdmin access
Managed WordPress comes with phpMyAdmin giving you direct access to your WordPress database, providing you the flexibility to do any advanced development or analysis work you want.
SFTP Access
The Block makes it easy to develop locally and manage your file system manually. SFTP access provides a secure way to transfer outside sites, templates, or plugins directly into our system.
Why WordPress?
WordPress is the most popular Content Management System (CMS) in the world — powering over 60% of CMS based websites on the internet. It’s highly customizable and easy-to-use, giving developers (and non-developers) the flexibility to build sites of all shapes and sizes. Plus, being Open Source, means there is a community of developers contributing resources, plugins, and themes that anyone can use!
