Moving from cPanel to Enhance: what changes for you

cPanel has been the default hosting panel for twenty years, so most people moving away from it are not comparing features — they are worried about the day after the move. This is what actually changes. The mental model is different, and that is the point cPanel gives you one account with everything in it: files, databases, mail, cron, all sharing the account’s limits. Enhance gives you a container per website. Your five sites are five isolated environments with their own CPU, RAM and I/O ceil

Why is my WordPress site slow on shared hosting? Check these five things first

“The host is slow” is the usual diagnosis and it is usually wrong. On nine sites out of ten the server is fine and something on top of it is doing far more work than it needs to.

PostgreSQL on shared hosting: who actually needs it

Nearly every shared hosting plan on the market offers MySQL or MariaDB and nothing else. The result is circular: frameworks default to MySQL because that is what shared hosting has, and shared hosting offers MySQL because that is what frameworks default to. If your stack wants Postgres, you are usually pushed straight to a VPS. Sometimes that push is correct. Often it is not. When you genuinely need PostgreSQL Your framework’s ecosystem assumes it. Django and Rails both run on MySQL, but the

Your WordPress site got hacked: what to do in the first hour

Snapshot first, lock down, rotate credentials, find the entry point, clean or restore, close the door — the order that keeps a hack a one-afternoon problem. The first hour decides whether this is an afternoon or a month. Here is the order of operations we use on managed plans, written so you can follow it on any host. If you host with us, open a ticket before step 1 — an engineer will snapshot the container and lock the site down while you read the rest. 1. SnapshotThe compromised state is e
