One of the key methods we delivery reliable and secure hosting is control. This is achieve be enforcing by restrictions on all aspects of hosting.
We do not allow unqualified access to the servers, we recommend the use of user management for websites, and we disable a certain PHP functions. This further helps ensure stability, control, security and performance. We take our work seriously and remove more than many traditional (cPanel) hosting supplier. This is primarily because generic hosting needs to accommodate a large variety of systems, while ours is exclusively built for WordPress.
Our restrictions will have no impact on your ability to work with the website. In fact the increased speed and reliability will befit search optimisation and conversion. The restrictions will force your team and third parties to look for better methods. We believe these limitations will create better websites that generate long term results.
