Welcome to Lightning Base
If you’re reading this, you’ve obviously run across our site, and I’m glad you have. We launched publicly at the start of 2012, after months of configuration and testing.
I created Lightning Base to help what I believe is the majority of WordPress users – they’re technically savvy, but probably don’t have expertise in or want to spend time learning the intricacies of web hosting. So they either end up with a generic managed host, which is setup for everything and not ideal for WordPress, or some form of unmanaged VPS – which is usually not setup or maintained as well as it should be. In addition, WordPress users have to deal with updates, ensuring regular backups, and upgrading the hosting setup as their site or business grows.
Lightning Base can eliminate all these sources of pain, keeping the great parts of self-hosted WordPress, and hiding most of the hassles. Because it’s all we do, we can provide more knowledgeable support, and will spend more time diagnosing WordPress-specific issues. We also setup caching, configure a CDN, and perform many other services to make your experience hassle-free.
Our service will work great for those running a single WordPress site, or who need help using WordPress for the first time – but is also configured and priced for those that run numerous installations (whether for your own mini-empire or a set of clients). We’ll keep all your sites updated, safe, and reliable – and can provide services such as the installation of a custom set of plugins on setup. And it’s priced so that additional sites are just a couple dollars a month each. You save time, and sleep well at night. We’re also willing to work with your requirements regarding billing and hosting configuration – get in touch, and let us know what you need.
Thanks for checking out Lightning Base – I look forward to working with you.
