WordPress is a very popular and widely supported CMS (content management system) platform. Valice has been providing WordPress website design and hosting since it was a little known blogging platform. We host and support WordPress websites for businesses and nonprofits with a focus on security, performance and ease-of-use.
We have been really pleased with recent developments in WordPress to provide improved speed and performance in the platform. We’re currently building turn-key block themes to be made available for our customers who want to select from a simple, pre-made layout or completely custom design. Block themes are the newest evolution of WordPress and giving website editors new efficiencies, greater design controls, and much-anticipated functionality.
That being said, it’s not for everyone or every website! We provide shared and VPS (virtual private server) hosting for any Linux CMS or website application. We can also provide ongoing maintenance and service for various platforms outside of WordPress.
Many website owners prefer to stay hands-off and leave the edits and updates to the pros. Providing ongoing website edits and updates is lot of what we do here at Valice each and every day for our members. Membership plans are leveled by the frequency of your service needs.
For sites that just have seasonal needs (e.g. event websites), we provide seasonal editing and development plans for that as well. Reach out to learn more.
Valice provides 24/7 monitoring of our environment and infrastructure in order to maintain critical uptime and availability. We are not here 24/7 for service and customer support. Individual website, email, or DNS outages due to factors outside of Valice’s environment and infrastructure, while impactful and stressful, are not guaranteed to be responded to or resolved outside of business hours. We do have staff who check in outside of business hours and we will do our best to help you troubleshoot or resolve your outage but cannot guarantee our availability or attention during these windows.
If you are planning to do major updates outside of business hours and want Valice’s attention or assistance, we welcome this. We provide this kind of coordinated, after-hours availability as part of our VIP membership plan and entertain one-time engagements as well.
Having developed and hosted WordPress website since the early days (2007), we are very familiar with the most reputable plugins both free and premium. Our recommendations and evaluations are based on a number of factors with a few key questions being:
- Is the plugin developer able to provide quality support
- Is the plugin regularly updated and maintained
- Does it do what it says it does and without performance problems
- Is the code clean and fully covered
- Is the plugin compatible with my theme and other plugins
- Is the plugin extendable if it needs to be customized
WordPress plugin testing and evaluation is a service we provide as part of our Pro and VIP membership plans and we are also happy to provide this service to any customers in need of a one-time plugin evaluation.
The following plugins are included in all of our WordPress hosting packages and installed automatically in both our white glove WordPress CLI and one-click installations:

Honestly, a lot. It’s sort of like the difference between a concierge who will make your dinner reservations and take care of your transportation and the front desk who will provide you with their phone number and directions for getting there.
Valice is here to empower the do-it-yourself types who really prefer to control and oversee their own services. We welcome these customers and are here to point them to resources and documentation (or create it if it doesn’t exist) related to what they’re trying to do. Documentation covers everything from domain registrations, DNS management, Valice hosting configurations, core WordPress how-tos, to whatever else we can help answer. We enjoy helping! When these customers run into a roadblock or need a one-time engagement, we have one-time remote hands, WordPress training sessions, or even website edit requests for that.
Memberships provide a more intimate relationship with you and your organization. While performing website edits or email management might be driving reasons why many customers choose to become members, the services and advantages go far beyond that. Simply put, it means we’re part of your team taking care of things like…
- Ensuring your domains don’t expire (even if your credit card was declined on renewal)
- Interfacing with plugin developers or other third-party support to report bugs or troubleshoot on your behalf
- Making ourselves available to coordinate major updates or organizational changes
- Helping your keep your email secure and working directly with your team members to troubleshoot issues and setup devices
- Helping you with your connected and related applications including email marketing apps, CRMs, eCommerce systems, payment gateways, etc.
Our members are why we at Valice do what we do and ultimately why we exist as a company.
To run your website over HTTPS, a valid SSL certificate is required. Valice provides a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to all hosting plans. This is configurable in your control panel. The Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate will auto renew each quarter as long as all the domains and domain aliases secured on the certificate are pointing to your Valice plan’s IP address.
If your website is currently running over HTTP, you may need to update all of your site pages to reference HTTPS instead of HTTP. Valice has developed its own scripts for this process. Reach out if you need help updating your website to run over HTTPS. Read our documentation for configuring your SSL certificate and configuring your website to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.
