About PrestoWP
Hosting Run By People Who Fix WordPress For A Living
PrestoWP is a New Zealand-owned managed WordPress hosting service, run from Auckland and powered by WP Engine. We look after the hosting, updates, backups and security for New Zealand businesses, so you can get on with running yours.
Our Story
Why PrestoWP Exists
PrestoWP grew out of Web Digital, an Auckland WordPress development and support agency. For years we were the people businesses called when their website was slow, hacked or simply broken, and again and again the root cause was the same: cheap hosting with nobody actually looking after the site.
So we built the hosting service we kept wishing our clients were on. Enterprise infrastructure, updates and backups handled, security included as standard, and a local team you can actually reach. That service became PrestoWP.
Today PrestoWP hosts and cares for WordPress sites for businesses across New Zealand, from brochure sites to busy WooCommerce stores, with a particular soft spot for our home town of Auckland.
What We Stand For
Four principles shape every plan we sell and every support reply we send.
Straight Answers
When you email support, a WordPress specialist reads it and fixes the problem. No tiers, no scripts, no ticket ping-pong.
Proper Infrastructure
Your site runs on WP Engine’s Sydney region, the closest enterprise WordPress platform to New Zealand, behind a global CDN.
Everything Included
Updates, daily backups, security monitoring, SSL and CDN are part of every plan, never sold back to you as extras.
