Frequently asked questions
Basic
Managed WordPress is an enhanced version of one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) available as it offers your website faster speeds, improved security, automated backups as well as the ability to access staging environments, which allow you to preview any changes you make before making them live on your website.
In addition to this, its incredibly easy-to-use interface means that you can customise your site’s content without any effort, while you can also install a range of third-party plugins that will further enhance your site and its capabilities.
As part of our Hosting service, we take care of all the technical details so that your Managed WordPress website remains secure and is regularly backed up. That way, you can focus on what you know best: your business.
It depends on your needs. Our Single Website plans are aimed more towards content creators and business owners that are looking for a quick and easy way to promote their services online. All these plans come with a free domain, website and SSL certificate included, although you will be limited to 1 of each. Should you wish to set up more websites, you will need to purchase them separately.
Our Multiple Websites packages are designed for agencies and developers that wish to host and manage several client sites. The starting tier (Multi Starter) comes with 5 free websites, along with 5 free SSL certificates and increased storage space to accommodate this. You’ll also receive more websites and resources as and when you wish to upgrade your package, which can be easily done at any time.
Although having some technical expertise will certainly help, it’s by no means a necessity as our Managed WordPress packages are designed to be incredibly accessible, with no need for any coding languages.
If, however, you’re looking for a completely non-technical solution, then you might want to check out our Website Builder tool.
Most packages are set up immediately, and you can get your website online right away. In some cases, it might take a few days for the domain to fully register and point to your hosting package. This is perfectly normal and happens across every web host -it just takes time for the servers and the domains to sync up.
Yes, migrating your website over to us is an incredibly easy process. Simply contact our expert support team and we will help you move everything over. We’ve also produced a useful guide to transferring your website that will talk you through every step..
Of course. Simply contact our expert Support team on 0345 450 2310 or visit our Support centre for a list of guides on how to use this tool.
Domains
Yes, all our hosting packages come with a free domain name with the following extensions as standard:
co.uk
.org.uk
.me.uk
.uk
.com
Your domain will be free for the first year of registration, but you will need to renew it for the standard registration fee afterwards. If you cancel your Managed WordPress Hosting package, you will also need to let the domain name expire. Otherwise, you will be charged for it even if it isn’t pointing to a site.
If your domain name is already registered with 123 Reg and you’re not using it with another one of our services, then you can attach it to your Managed WordPress Hosting package when you order.
If your domain is registered with another company, there are two ways to use it with your hosting package:
Transfer it to 123 Reg and then attach it to your package. Most companies will allow you to transfer, and we have a detailed guide on transferring domain names. You will need to wait for the transfer to complete before you purchase your hosting, and this can take up to a few days depending on the type and location of the domain.
Leave the domain name where it is and point it at your hosted site on 123 Reg. We have detailed instructions on how to point your domain name to 123 Reg. You will still need to register a domain name when you purchase your web hosting, but we won’t charge you any additional fees. It will take around 24-48 hours for your other domain name to show on your new site.
Yes. Since each WordPress installation uses a MySQL database, you can perform 2 different actions. For example, if you have 5 WordPress websites, you could have each one on a separate database or install all 5 onto a single database.
However, having multiple sites on 1 database may cause some problems, such as the inability to restrict plugins or install new themes on certain sites. If you’re looking for multiple sites, why not check out our ‘Multiple Websites’ Managed WordPress plans, which can be purchased here.
You can opt-out of your free domain by continuing without one after adding your ideal WordPress plan to your basket.
If you’ve already purchased a WordPress package with your free domain included, you’ll need to switch off the auto-renewal for it in your 123 Reg Control Panel. For more details on how to do this, check out our Support article: How do I renew my domain names?
It’s entirely up to you. If you decide you don’t want the domains any longer, you can let them expire once they reach their renewal date.
You can also keep them and use them, but you will need to pay the standard renewal price when they get close to their renewal date. We’ll let you know before they expire, so you won’t have to worry about them suddenly disappearing.
Technical stuff
All you need to do is log in to your 123 Reg Control Panel and begin the installation process from there.
Simply access your 123 Reg Control Panel and select WordPress Hosting from your products list. From there, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Any updates will be automatically made to your WordPress package as part of our Hosting service.
You can see the complete selection of themes and plugins that are available for WordPress on their official website:
WordPress Themes
WordPress Plugins
There are dozens of options to choose from, although some may incur a fee.
With dozens of different themes to choose from, no two websites will look the same. What’s more, you can easily tweak any fonts, colours as well as your page layout yourself, allowing for further personalisation.
WordPress Multisite is a separate feature that allows you to manage multiple websites from a single platform. It simplifies the process by having all these sites use the same database, which means they will share the same plugins and themes. However, this means that any potential security or performance issues for 1 website can potentially affect the others. Furthermore, some WordPress plugins are incompatible with a multisite setup.
Our Multiple Websites plans allow you to set up 5 separate websites, each with their own unique plugins and themes. Although you will have to set up each site accordingly, you will be safe in the knowledge that any potential issues with 1 website won’t have a knock-on effect on the others.
In addition to our cutting-edge cloud technology, we have data centres situated across the world, ensuring that your site always experiences a high-quality service.
Furthermore, we use load balancing, which means that your website is hosted on multiple servers. As such, your site will be well-equipped to deal with high volumes of traffic and will always stay online should any technical issues occur.
If you don’t feel that our Hosting service meets these standards, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee.
We go above and beyond to keep our systems safe from hacking, hardware failures, software failures and physical damage throughout our various highly secure data centres.
Along with our physical security measures, you can also take peace of mind by knowing that all your data is kept safe behind a secure firewall with multiple layers of protection. We have regular backups of all the data on our servers and store copies of the data off-site, so even if the worst occurs, your data will still be there.
Although your website should typically experience fast page loading speeds, it depends on several factors, such as how many plugins you have installed, how many large images you have or whether you have an outdated version of WordPress.
Billing
WordPress is a free content management system, but you’ll need to host it somewhere. The benefit of our Hosting packages is that we will automatically handle the installation process for you and ensure that your website always remains incredibly quick and secure.
If you want to take advantage of the extra features with our Managed WordPress plans, log in to your 123 Reg Control Panel at any time and choose the Upgrade option.
From there, we'll calculate the new cost of your package and adjust it accordingly.
