Performant Websites specializes in delivering Managed WordPress Hosting solutions to businesses who require exceptional website speed and constant online availability. Performant is the world’s fastest managed WordPress hosting service, using edge technology to enable unlimited scale with 10ms response times & perfect data consistency for enterprises whose revenue and reputation depend on their website performance.
We are a family-run operation – our hosting platform grew from our digital publishing enterprise running a number of our own high-traffic (100M+ monthly impressions) WordPress websites that derive all their revenue from advertising impressions – we know first-hand that every moment of downtime translates to financial loss. Over the years we have meticulously refined our hosting systems, drawing from countless iterations and lessons learned; special mention to Gridpane solving a lot of our server stack problems.
Our hosting platform essentially became a business within a business – it made sense to offer these proven capabilities to external clientele who have similar requirements and so Performant Websites Ltd was incorporated as a separate legal entity in November 2021.
In 2022 and 2023 we entered the Review Signal WP Hosting Benchmarks contest at the enterprise tier to demonstrate our WordPress hosting capabilities as a case study. We were awarded the prestigious Top Tier designation for both years. You can read about what we learned from this in our blog.
We are not a hosting giant however and don’t pretend to be – think of us as a boutique host. If you need personal service & support, and a fast website that simply stays online – let’s talk about what you require.

FAQs
Right now we have 25 allocated spots for our pre-launch. Larger workloads (high visitor websites) or businesses with multiple websites are typically given priority, however, we’re open to hosting any sites where your current hosting bill is $200 or more per month.
Initially, there will be no access to a hosting dashboard (coming soon), however, our environment is fully managed and we’ll take care of everything for you.
We’ll follow up with you directly over email once we’re ready to offer a migration.
In the future, we will have plans for under $200/month but this will depend on factors such as estimated support requests of the average website.
We can absolutely handle whatever amount of your website serves, both now and into the future (even if that means hundreds of concurrent checkouts). Talk to us!
Once we’ve onboarded our first 25 websites, launched the hosting dashboard, and ironed out any kinks involved with initial migrations and common support questions, we’ll officially open up sign-ups to Performant to everyone.
