LiteSpeed web server, NVMe SSD storage, and one-click Softaculous install. Your WordPress site loads faster, handles more traffic, and stays secure - from £9.99/year.
WordPress is a PHP application - it builds each page on the server before sending it to the visitor. On a standard Apache web server, every visitor triggers this process from scratch. On LiteSpeed with LSCache, built pages are cached at the server level and served almost instantly to subsequent visitors.
The result is measurable. Pages that take 800ms to generate under Apache often serve in under 50ms from the LiteSpeed cache. For WordPress sites with any meaningful traffic, this is the single biggest performance gain available without touching your theme or plugins.
All DragonWebHost shared hosting plans include LiteSpeed and LSCache at no extra cost. You don't need a special "WordPress plan" - it comes as standard.
WordPress reads and writes to disk constantly - loading plugins, themes, media files, and database queries all involve storage I/O. NVMe SSD is significantly faster than standard SSD for these operations, and dramatically faster than the spinning hard drives still used by some budget hosts.
Every DragonWebHost plan uses NVMe storage. This isn't a premium add-on - it's the baseline for all accounts, including our entry-level plan at £9.99/year.
No paid add-ons for the features that matter. Everything below is included as standard on all shared hosting plans.
Softaculous is included on all plans. Install WordPress in under a minute - no FTP, no manual database setup, no configuration files to edit.
Every account gets a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, auto-renewing. HTTPS is required for WordPress SEO and visitor trust - we handle it automatically.
Automated daily backups with JetBackup. If a WordPress update or plugin conflict breaks your site, you can restore a clean version from your control panel in minutes.
Choose your PHP version per domain. WordPress works best on PHP 8.1+, and you can switch versions instantly from DirectAdmin without contacting support.
WordPress requires a MySQL or MariaDB database. All plans include multiple databases with phpMyAdmin access from DirectAdmin.
Run your WordPress site and your professional email from the same account. Unlimited mailboxes, forwarders, and autoresponders on all plans.
