Hosting support vs. WP Pirates.
| Typical "managed" hosting support | WP Pirates | |
|---|---|---|
| Response | Tier-1 ticket queue, hours to days | Same-day pickup, 30-min SLA on Premium |
| Scope | Server-level only — "your code is your problem" | App + server, end-to-end — your stack, our problem |
| Updates | Auto-updates that break themes silently | Staging-tested before anything touches prod |
| Backups | Server snapshots only — restore everything or nothing | Daily off-site, file-level + DB — restore just one page if you want |
| Security | Generic WAF rules, no app-level hardening | App-level hardening, custom rules, audit-logged admin |
| Reports | Status badges, not actionable summaries | Plain-English monthly reports a non-developer can read |
“I started WP Pirates because too many small businesses were getting burned by hosting companies that don’t actually fix problems and freelance dev shops that disappear when you need them. We run your WordPress site like it’s our own — because if it’s down, your business stops.”

Month-to-month, no annual lock-in. Start where you need, change tier any time.
