WordPress without the shared-hosting compromise
Most WordPress hosting puts your site on shared infrastructure, meters your visits and locks the server away behind a panel. We give you the opposite: a private LEMP stack in your own tenant, tuned for WordPress and WooCommerce, with the SSH, database and file access a real engineering team expects, and Node running it in production for you.
What the stack is
This is a dedicated LEMP environment: Linux, Nginx, MariaDB and PHP, configured and tuned specifically for WordPress. It runs inside your private Node tenant with guaranteed resources, so your site's performance never depends on what other customers are doing.
Because it is a standard LEMP stack rather than a proprietary WordPress-only platform, it also runs WooCommerce stores, bespoke PHP applications and other tools built for the same stack. One environment, properly managed, for everything you run on PHP.
Why a private stack instead of WP Engine, Kinsta or shared hosting
No visit caps or overage charges: managed WordPress platforms meter traffic and charge when a good month exceeds your plan. Your stack has guaranteed resources and a flat monthly fee, whatever your traffic does.
Your data in the UK: the site, the database and the backups live on UK infrastructure under UK jurisdiction, with an Article 28 data processing agreement as standard.
Real access: SSH, SFTP, phpMyAdmin and WP-CLI are part of the service, not a support ticket. Developers and agencies work the way they expect to.
Isolated by design: no shared servers, no noisy neighbours. Your stack runs in your own tenant on its own guaranteed resources.
WooCommerce without a revenue tax: no per-transaction platform fees and no plan tiers keyed to your sales. The store's success is yours.
Full access, not a locked panel
You get the accesses that make a site maintainable: SSH to the server for your developers, SFTP (and FTP where a legacy workflow requires it) for file transfer, phpMyAdmin for direct database work, and WP-CLI for scripted updates and automation. Staging copies for risky changes are part of how we operate the service.
Your stack can also link to the other apps in your tenant. Store your media and documents in Nextcloud and make approved folders available to the WordPress media library, run analytics with Matomo or Umami instead of Google Analytics, and automate content workflows with n8n. Everything talks over your tenant's private network, not the public internet.
Keycloak and single sign-on
Like every app on the Node platform, your WordPress admin can join your tenant's own Keycloak realm. Staff sign in to wp-admin with the same account they use everywhere else, joiners and leavers are handled at the identity layer, and admin access is fully audited. See the Node Platform for how tenants work.
How Node runs WordPress for you
Deployment: a production-tuned stack from day one: Nginx caching, PHP workers sized to your traffic, object caching and a hardened configuration.
Upgrades and maintenance: we patch the operating system, the stack and WordPress core, testing before applying, so the platform stays current without breaking your site.
Monitoring and support: uptime, performance and error monitoring around the clock, with our engineers on hand when something needs attention.
Backups: daily backups of files and database, retained and restorable, included in the fee.
Your infrastructure or ours: hosted on Node's UK infrastructure or deployed into your own environment, with the same managed service either way.
The economics of WordPress at scale: visit-metered WordPress platforms price success out of your control: a viral post or a strong trading month moves you up a tier. A private managed stack from Node is a flat, predictable cost with guaranteed resources, hosted in the UK, whatever your traffic does. Grow the site, keep the bill.

Frequently asked questions
Where is my WordPress site hosted and who can access the data?
Your stack runs on UK infrastructure by default, inside your own private tenant, under UK jurisdiction with an Article 28 data processing agreement. Access is limited to the people you authorise and the Node engineers operating the service.
Can you migrate my existing WordPress site?
Yes. We migrate the database, media library, themes and plugins from your current host, test the site on the new stack, and switch DNS only when it is proven. Migration is a fixed-fee enhancement quoted upfront.
Do I get SSH, SFTP and database access?
Yes. This is your stack, not a locked panel. You get SSH and SFTP access to the server, phpMyAdmin for the database, and WP-CLI on the box for scripted administration. FTP is available where a legacy workflow needs it, though we recommend SFTP.
Does it run WooCommerce?
Yes. The stack is tuned for WooCommerce: object caching, a properly sized database and PHP workers that keep checkouts responsive. Because resources are guaranteed, a sale-day traffic spike does not fight other customers for capacity, and there is no per-visit or revenue-based pricing.
Can the same stack run PHP applications that are not WordPress?
Yes. It is a standard LEMP stack (Linux, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP), so bespoke PHP applications and other LEMP-based tools run on it too. Tell us what you want to deploy and we will size and configure it accordingly.
Can WordPress use files from our other Node apps, like Nextcloud?
Yes. Apps in your tenant share a private network, so we can link your Nextcloud to the stack and make approved folders available for upload into the WordPress media library, keeping one source of truth for your assets.
What does the managed service include?
Deployment, stack and WordPress core updates, security patching, daily backups, monitoring, SSL and support from our engineers. You look after your content and plugins; we keep the platform fast, current and secure.
