ABOUT US
Fast, Secure, Easy
SwiftShield is a collaboration of Web Development professionals and Cloud Infrastructure Engineers based in Sydney, Australia with nearly two decades experience in building, deploying and scaling WordPress sites.
From self managed bare-metal servers to cheap hosts in the US and everything in between, we have experienced the pain and frustrations of setup, configuration, deployment and constant update management of WordPress sites.
Over time, through our innovation in management and deployment strategies of various types of WordPress sites to varied, weird and wonderful WordPress hosts, we refined a rock solid, repeatable process to make the whole experience of hosting WordPress an easy pleasure.
We built the entire platform on the three tenants of being fast, secure and easy to use. WordPress and the hosting infrastructure should just get out of your way so you can manage your site.
We treat the WordPress codebase as the dependency that it is and hide all the management in the backgroud!
Fast – We use multiple caching and optimisation at every layer of our infrastructure. Our front end cache servers serve your pages directly from memory meaning swift delivery of your site every time.
Secure – We have multiple layers of security which include (but are not limited to): application firewalls at both the entry point and between layers of our infrastructure, active auditing systems which identify any unusual behavior within WordPress admin, read-only file-systems on our application servers (uploads folder aside, literally nothing can be overwritten on our systems) and flooding/Ddos protection.
Our unique automatic update system rebuilds your site from source whenever a core, plugin or theme update becomes available and completely replaces the existing code on every deploy.
Easy – Your SwiftShield site will up and running within minutes. Select a theme, install some plugins and away you go. We fully support custom themes and plugins. We have no complicated control panels – everything is controlled from a simple settings page from within your WordPress instance.
SwiftShield is a genuine “set and forget” WordPress hosting solution that just works. Sign up today and try for yourself.
