Scalable WordPress Hosting: FAQs for Agencies

Growing fast? Whether you’re managing 10 or 200 WordPress sites, agencies need hosting that scales without compromise.

At Pressillion, we’ve built a containerized, scalable WordPress hosting platform designed to handle unpredictable traffic, large multi-site portfolios, and rapid client growth – without hitting arbitrary resource ceilings.

Flat monthly pricing, no per-site limits, and built-in performance optimizations mean predictable costs for growing agencies.

Scalable WordPress Hosting: FAQs

I manage 50 client websites. How scalable is Pressillion?

Very. You can segment your 50 sites into containers based on resource use – e.g., 3 x 2GB servers for brochure sites, and a dedicated 4GB server for WooCommerce. No per-site billing or caps.

Can Pressillion handle sudden traffic spikes?

Yes. Our infrastructure supports vertical scaling with instant resource upgrades and can handle traffic spikes thanks to the in-built load balancer.

What if I outgrow my current server?
You can resize the container or spin up a new one and shift sites accordingly. Our team handles this with zero downtime.
Is your WordPress hosting container-based?

Yes. Each server is containerized with isolated resources. You avoid shared hosting limitations and get full control per server.

What if I manage 50+ brochure sites with low traffic?
Group them efficiently. You could host 50 sites across 3 x 2GB servers for ~£96/month – significantly lower than most per-site WordPress hosting costs.
Can I host high-traffic WooCommerce sites?

Absolutely. We recommend 4GB+ servers with Redis and object caching enabled. One client runs a 350K/month visit store smoothly on such a setup.

How do I scale across multiple clients?

We help you structure hosting by client type or traffic profile.

For instance, agency clients often group eCommerce separately from low-maintenance sites.

Is there a maximum number of sites per server?

No hard limit – we help you optimize based on plugin stack, caching, and traffic. A 1GB server can support 5–7 small sites; a 2GB server may run 15 or more.

Can I scale without downtime?

Yes. Our systems allow vertical upgrades or server cloning without affecting uptime. You’ll never be forced to migrate during traffic peaks.

Can I use Pressillion for WooCommerce without extra fees?
Absolutely. We don’t charge more for ecommerce or WooCommerce installs. Our hosting stack is optimized to handle them by default.
Is autoscaling included?

Vertical autoscaling is included up to resource limits. We monitor server load and notify you before thresholds are reached.

Do I need to plan server distribution manually?

Not alone. We provide tailored guidance based on your portfolio – including a free audit to model scalable configurations.

What’s the best setup for a growing design agency?

Start with one 2GB server for staging/dev, and one production server for clients. Scale each as needed

What if I hit CPU/RAM limits?

We notify you and assist in scaling up to the next tier. There are no auto-overage charges – just logical scaling.

How are backups handled at scale?

All containers include automated off-site backups with minimal overhead. Daily snapshots don’t impact performance.

Can I spin up new sites quickly?

Absolutely. Use our cloning tool or deploy new containers from your preferred blueprint in under 2 minutes.

Is it faster to clone or scale?

Depends on your needs. Cloning is best for separating clients, while scaling is better for traffic growth. We help you decide.

What if I manage 200 small brochure sites?

You can group them into low-cost, high-efficiency servers – e.g. 200 x 1GB setups or 10 x 2GB setups – giving you control and cost-efficiency without micromanaging.

Is DNS scaling included?

Yes. We provide DNS and automation for managing multiple domains across containers.

Do you support horizontal scaling too?

Yes. We can split your sites across multiple containers, datacenters, and providers. We help design resilient, globally distributed setups. Request a demo/ discovery call.

Is there support for enterprise-level scaling?

Yes. We offer customization for agencies with over 500 sites or high-traffic eCommerce, media, and publishing clients. Includes 24/7 support and dedicated architecture guidance.

Can I use Pressillion to stage hundreds of sites?

Yes. We’re ideal for large staging setups. Many agencies run all development/staging containers at low-cost.

Is scaling linear with cost?

Yes. A 2GB server costs roughly double a 1GB, but allows much higher concurrent processing. No artificial markup for more sites.

Can I isolate clients by server?

Yes. Many agencies use one server per client or per vertical. This also helps with billing and security separation.

What happens during a Black Friday traffic surge?

Your server scales vertically and we proactively monitor key metrics. One agency client handled a 3x spike during a sale without any performance dip.

Can I run multisite networks?

Yes. WordPress multisite installs are supported with no additional pricing. We advise on server sizing for network admin performance.

Just make sure the multisite is path based (ie; domain.com/somedomain) and not domain based (ie: somedomain.domain.com) as domain based mutisites will not work on our platform.
