Secure

WordPress security is compromised if a site is not actively maintained. Updates must cover the WordPress core, as well as all plugins and themes. Because security vulnerabilities typically originate from outdated components, diligent maintenance is essential.

Updating WordPress and its plugins often carries the risk of breaking the site. For example, content might fail to load or display correctly after an update. Seravo’s unique update system includes integrated functionality testing. This ensures your data remains secure without the risk of updates breaking your site.

Rigorous Testing for Peace of Mind

Updates are first tested in a staging environment (shadow) to ensure the updates won’t break your site. In addition, critical security updates are always performed without delay.

The functionality tests are based on our in-house developed headless Chrome virtual browser, which logs into WordPress and detects errors in the site’s PHP, CSS, JavaScript and HTTPS warnings.

Visual Regression and Customization

Seravo’s update process also includes visual regression tests to detect any changes in the site’s layout. Developers can also tailor these functionality tests for individual, business-critical pages.

No system will completely eliminate problems associated with updates, but Seravo’s approach greatly reduces the number of potential problems. As our customer, you’ll have significantly less to worry about when it comes to WordPress updates and the availability of your site.

Proactive Monitoring

It’s important to us that your site is always up and running, which is why Seravo’s 24/7 monitoring addresses any detected errors. To protect your site from downtime, we do not force any updates that would break your site, such as major updates to the WordPress core. You can always contact our customer support to check the status of and get help with the updates on your site!

Security Guarantee and WordPress Security Scans

Every site hosted by Seravo is scanned for security breaches on a daily basis, ensuring that no malicious code has been added to your site. If a security breach is detected, we report the findings to the site owner. In the event of a break-in, your site may also be temporarily suspended to prevent further damage to your business.

Seravo’s Security Guarantee is the best indicator that we truly care about the security of your WordPress site. If your site is hacked despite all protection and updates while hosted in our service, Seravo cleans your site of any malicious code and restores it back into action for free!

Critical Security Updates

The main threat to the security of all WordPress sites are automated attacks by bots, which attempt to exploit commonly known security vulnerabilities. The best way to protect against these attacks is to actively update WordPress and its plugins.

Seravo’s tested and regular updates ensure that the site does not break, but we do more than that to keep your site secure: our hosting service also includes critical security updates, which are always installed without delay, separately from other updates.

Secure Connections and Certificates by Default

At Seravo, HTTPS is always enabled by default without any additional configuration. We offer free SSL/TLS certifcate, which will be activated once the domain is pointed to Seravo’s servers.

We also ensure that HTTPS is correctly configured and cannot be broken due to outdated algorithms, for example. In addition to improving your site’s security, HTTPS also improves site speed and search engine visibility.

At Seravo, other connection methods (SSH/SFTP) are always encrypted and protected with a strong password, and non-secure connections are not available.

Best Availability and Scalability for WordPress

Seravo’s hosting has a unique server architecture based on server clusters. This allows your WordPress site to be served to your visitors by multiple servers, which means your site is not dependent on a single host. For every site in our premium hosting and upkeep, we promise 99.9% uptime, maintenance time included.

Thanks to this solution, at Seravo your site does not have just one IP address, but several. In the event of a server failure, the other servers will continue to serve your site. Thanks to these server clusters, a single site can also experience significant traffic spikes without any visible slowdown.

At Seravo, your site is not limited by CPU or RAM constraints. Thanks to scalability, each and every site in our hosting is able to receive the best possible performance. While each plan has a HTTP request quota, we do not do as many other providers do and close down your site or send unexpected extra charges for overages. Making your WordPress site fast, secure and available is our goal under all circumstances!

Seravo delivers premium WordPress hosting by utilizing industry-leading server environments that meet the most stringent security standards for telecommunications facilities.

Our Finnish data centers comply with all safety requirements defined by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom). These facilities are equipped with high-efficiency climate control, intruder protection, and 24/7 access monitoring.

To guarantee 100% uptime, our infrastructure features automatic fire suppression systems and robust UPS-backed power supplies that filter out electrical interference. In the event of an extended outage, on-site generators ensure continuous operation. All hardware is housed in secure, locked cabinets with strictly regulated access.

To ensure maximum redundancy, our network connectivity is distributed across at least two independent IP transit providers. We utilize BGP4 routing, which guarantees that a failure in one carrier’s connection will not cause an outage: instead, traffic is automatically rerouted to maintain normal operations.

We actively monitor network loads to ensure your WordPress site consistently performs at peak speeds. We maintain significant capacity reserves, ensuring that even during extreme traffic spikes, your site remains fast and responsive.

Global Server Locations

Our international server clusters are hosted by trusted global providers, offering the same rigorous protection against disruptions as our Finnish facilities. For added resilience, critical auxiliary services, such as email and DNS servers, are fully redundant and geographically distributed across multiple networks and data centers.
