About

We are a hosting company, started by a group of WordPress enthusiasts, to serve the WordPress community in hosting their websites.

The story of WP WebHost

Few years ago, we are webmasters - creating and managing our own content-driven websites. Mostly blog, and we are already the WordPress fans we are today. Back then, we are using WordPress 1.2-1.5. We still remember the dark blue admin interface, but its features are already robust and powerful. Comparing to other competitors (it was Mambo, PHPNuke), WordPress was in the class of its own.

We love WordPress. But unfortunately, our web hosts don’t. There are many server configurations of web hosts that work against WordPress. We hated that. Then, we start thinking among ourselves - why don’t we start our own?

The Birth of WP WebHost

Our first take on the hosting business was a direct one. We setup a 1-page website, 1 hosting plan, setup a billing system, and launched. And within 3 months, we got our first customer.

We knew we are on the right track. However, we are still hunger to serve more WordPress customers, and looking for ways to get funding or expands.

Acquired by Exabytes Network

On June 2008, we were acquired by Exabytes, a 7 years-old global web hosting company that serves over 12,000 clients worldwide. We were given all kind of supports (financial, and technical, mostly) and freedom (we are a whole new division within the company) to continue doing what we do best - serving and hosting WordPress users.

Web Hosting with WordPress Support

The biggest distinctive difference between WP WebHost and other WordPress compatible web hosts are - we provide WordPress-related support (and do it very well). Our team has average 2-3 years of experience using, customizing and hacking WordPress. We’ve built many sites using WordPress, tried literally hundreds of plugins and customized thousands of themes. Any WordPress problems (albeit a technical one) are within our reach.
