Many websites will have zero downtime during migration, while some e-commerce sites may experience temporary and brief 'maintenance mode' during the process. Either way, you're getting 24/7 support to ensure the migration is smooth and any downtime is minimal.

Migration services include email migration along with associated email services and migrations can be performed for any size website, no matter the complexity.
Most migrations can be performed within 48 hours and the Rapyd.Cloud team of experts will be in communication with you during the entire process. And of course, the 24/7 support team will be available to you at any time after the migration to answer any questions you may have or to assist with your new hosting plan.
WordPress Hosting Solutions
Rapyd.Cloud's primary hosting option is its high-performance standard WordPress hosting, all managed via an intuitive, state-of-the-art dashboard. Your WordPress setup may be more complex, and Rapyd.Cloud is prepared for a number of scenarios.
For example, if you run an online store using the popular WooCommerce WordPress plugin, you'll get features like intelligent caching (i.e. pages like cart and checkout are bypassed for caching), live cart technology to enable a better experience for multiple concurrent shoppers, instant search, and more.
 |
Rapyd.Cloud also provides specialized hosting for WordPress sites using LMS, a popular premium WordPress plugin for operating a course-based website or Learning Management System.
In addition, Rapyd.Cloud's hosting solutions are optimized for WordPress sites using BuddyBoss (a premium community website plugin), Dokan (for multi-vendor online marketplaces), and similar plugins.
 |
These kinds of sites typically have a consistent flow of traffic with constant growth and occasional traffic spikes, which Rapyd.Cloud is built to handle.
WordPress Security
Rapyd.Cloud's solutions offer a number of different security features to ensure your WordPress site is safe. You'll have access to:
- Free SSL certificates

Specifically, Rapyd.Cloud has teamed up with Patchstack and Monarx for the best possible WordPress security.
Patchstack is the world's largest vulnerability discloser with 10,000+ virtual patches. In fact, 73% of all new WordPress vulnerability entries in 2023 were first reported by Patchstack. So you're getting premium plugin vulnerability detection.
Monarx is a website and server security service that incorporates the use of cutting-edge technology for robust, real-time security measures (like automatic malware scanning) for intelligent threat prevention and comprehensive security insights, the latter of which you'll get through your Rapyd.Cloud dashboard.
