WordPress hosting management brings together several tools to make site administration easier, more secure, and more flexible. Highlights include streamlined domain management via the Domain Connect integration, automated and manual backup options, advanced password security, and flexible user profiles that support spaces in names. There's also a safeguard that requires a new admin to be assigned before an existing one can be deleted, keeping your hosting experience secure.
Begin by opening a site within the WordPress tab.
Primary Domain Management
You can designate the "www" domain as the primary domain when setting the root primary domain, giving you greater control and flexibility over your domain configuration. First, click the Info menu.
Then, change the prefix to www from the actions dropdown menu if needed, and set it as the primary domain.
Domain Connect
The Domain Connect integration streamlines domain management by cutting down on manual configuration. To get started, click the Add Domain button within the Manage Your Domains section.
Next, enter the domain name you want to connect to your WordPress site, then click Auto Configure to start the automated setup.
Follow the on-screen instructions to finalise the domain connection!
User Management
You can add user profiles from the Users section of the WordPress tab. Click the "Add User" button to add a new member to your site.
This opens a modal where you can enter the user details.
The First Name and Last Name fields are optional, giving you more flexibility when entering data. You can also include spaces in both fields when updating a profile, allowing for more personalised user details.
Admin User Management
To keep things secure and ensure smooth content management, you must assign a new admin user before deleting an existing admin, ensuring smooth transitions in user and content management.
Password Management
In each section, passwords for Site, User, and FTP accounts are hidden by default for added security. FTP accounts also require strong passwords, giving you more robust account protection.
Server Management
The PHP Version Update feature within Server settings gives you full control over your site's server environment. You can switch to a supported PHP version whenever needed, improving security, performance, and compatibility with your applications. It also keeps things running smoothly with plugins and themes that require newer PHP versions.
Together, these features give you greater control, flexibility, and security across WordPress Hosting. Use them to manage your WordPress sites with more ease and confidence.
