About Our servers are built with SSD based storage and modern Xeon processors, setup with Varnish, a fast web server stack, and locked down from intruders. Then we add a host of bonuses such as free site transfers, backups, and a truly global CDN. Your site will fly and your time will be saved. WordPress is a prime target for hackers, and can cause problems at hosts that aren’t properly setup for it. Lightning Base keeps your server locked down, and uses a variety of measures to keep your site stable under high load or with poorly coded plugins. No more managing a server, installing or transferring WordPress sites, or worrying about backups. We’ll even setup caching and configure our CDN for you. Plus your support tickets will be answered by people who can troubleshoot not just your hosting, but your WordPress install as well.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Crazy fast tech support and very reliable even on weekends and holidays. Very much a "hands-on" hosting platform with professionals who not only resolve any issues, but, provide great advice for website growth, expansion and scale. Cons Domain name acquisition is a little on the high side (about $5 over competitors) but worth it to keep everything under one roof.
