Frequently Asked Questions
Is this shared hosting?
No — CriticalWP hosting is fully managed and built on dedicated WP Engine containers, not shared cPanel servers. Each site has isolated resources for faster performance, higher uptime, and improved security.
This setup ensures that your website cannot be affected by other users on the same server. It’s the same infrastructure trusted by agencies and enterprise-level brands, combined with Cloudflare CDN and DDoS protection for global speed and resilience.
What’s included for $99/month?
Our $99/month plan is an all-in-one Managed WordPress hosting and maintenance solution. It includes WP Engine hosting, Cloudflare CDN and SSL, daily backups, manual plugin and theme updates, uptime monitoring, malware scanning, and monthly performance reporting.
We also include free migration (completed within 24 hours), US-based expert support, and full management — meaning we handle all security, updates, and monitoring so you can focus on your business. Optional design and SEO upgrades are available if you want to scale further.
How long does migration take?
Most migrations are completed in under 24 hours after we receive your WordPress and hosting credentials. We securely clone your site to WP Engine, configure Cloudflare protection, and run performance tests before switching your DNS.
There’s no downtime or data loss — every migration is verified by a human before going live. Once setup is complete, we send you the new nameserver details and confirm everything is stable before the DNS change.
Do you include SEO or design work?
This plan is focused on reliable hosting, maintenance, and security. SEO and design services are not included by default, but our team can scope these add-ons if you need optimization or creative support.
Many clients start with the $99 plan and later upgrade to include on-page SEO, Core Web Vitals optimization, or full redesigns. These can be added seamlessly to your existing managed plan when you’re ready to grow.
Can I keep my domain and email where they are?
Yes. You can keep your domain registrar (like GoDaddy or Google Domains) and your existing email provider. We’ll provide the updated DNS records or nameservers to point your domain to our managed hosting environment.
This process is straightforward, takes only a few minutes, and ensures no disruption to your business email or site traffic. We guide you through each step and verify the DNS changes once live.
Is there a contract or setup fee?
No contracts, no setup fees. We believe in earning your trust monthly. You can cancel anytime before your next billing date, and we’ll assist with exporting your site files if you ever decide to move elsewhere.
This transparent model makes it easy for startups, agencies, and small businesses to experience enterprise-grade WordPress management without long-term commitments or surprise costs.
Is Elementor Pro included with my plan?
Yes. Elementor Pro is included with all new CriticalWP-managed sites and for existing sites already using Elementor. We handle all updates and compatibility testing to ensure your layouts stay stable and optimized on WP Engine.
Can I use Astra Pro with my existing site?
Astra Pro is included for new builds or current sites already using Astra. If your existing theme is different, our team will continue maintaining your current setup — no rebuilds or design changes required unless you choose to switch.
Can I use my own WordPress theme or page builder?
Yes. CriticalWP supports all modern WordPress themes and page builders, including Divi, Beaver Builder, and custom-coded sites. If your site doesn’t use Astra or Elementor, we’ll maintain your existing theme exactly as it is — handling hosting, security, and updates without affecting your design or structure.
