What is WordPress?
Overview of WordPress
WordPress is a free and open source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. WordPress is installed on a web server, which either is part of an internet hosting service or is a network host itself; the first case may be on a service like WordPress.com, for example, and the second case is a computer running the software package WordPress.org.
WordPress is considered one of the easiest to use CMS, thanks to a user-friendly interface. It also has an amazing number of plugins which allows it to extend its functionality in many ways.
Dedicated WordPress Hosting
MEDIAMAKS UK managed WordPress hosting is a dedicated platform that’s optimised for speed, security and reliability.
The WordPress platform is still Linux-based but only hosts WordPress sites. It’s optimised for WordPress, and uses our StackCache plugin.
StackCache was developed in-house to provide the most efficient way of managing multiple caching layers, whilst still giving complete control over our edge cache systems from a familiar admin interface.
