Why We Built
Forge Web Services
Forge Web Services builds and runs the technology behind small businesses and agencies: managed WordPress hosting on dedicated servers, and client portals we build and manage.
Why We Built Forge Web Services
The Weak Link
Years of building client sites taught us the hosting was always the weak link: shared servers, slow support, surprise renewal prices, and a control panel nobody asked for. So we built the hosting we wanted to hand our own clients.
We Fixed It For Ourselves
The same scatter showed up everywhere else in our clients’ businesses: files in email, approvals in chat, onboarding by memory. We had already solved that by running our whole operation on a client-portal platform of our own, so we started building client portals for others too.
Two Things, Done Properly
Today Forge Web Services does two things, and does them properly: managed WordPress hosting on servers that are yours alone, and business platforms your clients actually enjoy using. Both built, both managed, by the same team you talk to.
Our Core Values
Four principles guide every decision we make about pricing, features, and support.
Transparency
Clear pricing, no contracts, no upsells. What you see is what you pay.
Performance
We obsess over speed because your visitors and search rankings depend on it.
Security
Two layers of protection on every plan, included, always.
Accessibility
Enterprise-grade infrastructure should not require an enterprise budget.
The Industry Habits
We Refuse to Copy
The managed WordPress industry has built itself on quiet add-ons, long contracts, and "support" that keeps you in a queue. We took the opposite path.
Our anti-promises
What we will never do, and what you get instead.
12-month contracts that lock you in→Month-to-month. No contracts, no annual commitments, cancel any time, no exit fees
Security suite as a $20/mo add-on→Server-level security + WordPress Security and CDN Layer included on every plan, even Starter
Migration fee of $99 to $299 per site→$0 migrations. Always, on every plan, no limits, no asterisks
Shared servers with mystery neighbours→Dedicated VPS per client. Your CPU, your RAM, your traffic
Support tickets that vanish into a queue→Engineers who own the fix on email, response under 4 hours, business hours
Backup add-on at $10/mo extra→Daily backups, 7-day retention, free, on every plan
Built on Trusted Infrastructure
Forge Web Services is built on high-frequency compute servers for maximum performance, secured with server-level security and the WordPress security and CDN layer at the application level, and powered by OpenLiteSpeed for WordPress-optimised speed.
