Just Launched

I finally launched this idea! I had it for months and I was hesitant and didn't know where I had to start but I finally did it like they said "Launch early". Still no paying customers but I am receiving a bunch of visits from PH.

    Congratulations on the launch!

    I went on your website and the UI seems to be nice, I like it.

    But, I have one question in mind, what/how does it make your site different than WPEngine and other Wordpress Hosting companies out there?

    I am not asking to re-invent the wheel but just suggesting you to list out some extraordinary USPs so that people can choose WPNoise over the others.

    Good luck :)

      All our plans have unlimited bandwidth so our clients' websites can receive unlimited visits from the very beginning. They don't have to upgrade in the middle of their subscriptions like with most plans at WPEngine & similar services.

      The price is actually good too, keep in mind that we update the plugins and themes automatically so our services are more like a marriage between WPEngine and a service like WPBuffs (which costs on its own $67/m).

    Congratulations on launch. It really is an amazing accomplishment.

    It sounds like you're providing a tremendous amount of value, especially for people who want a little extra help with their site.

    As a potential customer, I would really like it if the site took the time to really convey that value that makes you different from a regular host. For example, what kinds of site speeds can you help me achieve and how much will that help my business? Your FAQ starts to get at this unique selling proposition but I'd love to see you tell that story in a bigger way.

      Also, I forgot to say: we give WPRocket for all customers even the Start plan which doesn't have the optimizing speed feature.

      That feature we offer means actually setting things up for maximum speed ourselves, it includes testing LiteSpeed and WPRocket to see which one is suitable on a case by case basis as it depends as I said on the theme and other factors.

      Thank you! I can say you're one of the few people who browsed our FAQ. Most people only visited the homepage and the pricing page. I think I am going to integrate it on the bottom of the pricing page.

      How we optimize speed?

      1. By offering WPRocket for free - it's the best plugin for optimizing a Wordpress loading speed by caching and minifying files (HTML, CSS) along with other settings.

      2. By changing some settings in the Cpanel like switching the PHP version from 7.0 (which is by default) to 7.2. Most people forget or don't know about this little trick, PHP 7.2 is more performant than 7.0. We rarely switch to PHP 7.3 because there are some WordPress themes that don't support it yet.

      3. We avoid hosting streaming related websites so they don't slow down the servers. Our plans are suited for blogs, membership websites, course websites (who host videos outside our servers, with Vimeo for example), e-commerce, portfolio, and almost every type no matter how much traffic they receive as our plans are not limited in pageviews/bandwidth.

      For the speed, we don't have specific numbers because achieving a great speed takes into account a lot of factors that are not always related to the host:

      -How the theme is coded and how much data and requests are sent to the visitor's browser.

      -How much distance there is between the server and the client (the visitor).

      -How much content there is on the page if it contains a lot of videos and images that are going to require some more seconds to load.

      But our bold promise is, we will always look for ways to optimize and improve the speed from our side and take initiatives to fulfill that promise.

      The loading speed can really help a business or break it. I had a small blog before that loaded in 4s. I improved its speed by deleting some plugins I was not using anymore and put a caching plugin. The speed was cut by half, it improved the number of visitors overnight (I concluded that most of them were quitting the site before it loaded!).

      Speed is also a ranking factor now on Google among many other factors like SSL etc..

      So I think a business should not take speed slightly or as a luxury, it's a must.
