High-performance cloud web hosting
How fast is your hosting server?
Managed cloud hosting
Hosting is what makes your website live on the Internet. We host our websites on high-performance managed cloud servers, as part of our monthly Website Care Service.
The websites we host have an average of 99.99% uptime, and yes, we monitor this. Our websites even remain live during times of peak traffic. Pioneer Media takes care of both your website’s hosting and the domain name, which is the website address, like www.Pioneer.Media. We also track the website’s traffic, so you know who your visitors are and how much traffic your website gets.
Why do you need this service? Read our blog post, 16 Reasons Why You Need a Website Maintenance Plan.

Why cloud servers instead of shared hosting?
In 2021 we started moving our clients off shared hosting and onto high-performance cloud servers. Here’s the difference.
Typical budget hosting
Shared hosting
Many unrelated websites share one server and its resources, so a busy or hacked neighbor can slow down or endanger your site.
Our servers
Our managed cloud servers
Your website runs on a high-performance cloud server that we manage, shared only with websites we take care of, with server-level security, caching and around-the-clock monitoring.
The benefits of our managed cloud servers
Fast, secure and always watched, without you ever having to log in to a server.
Built for speed
Fast pages keep visitors around and help your Google rankings.
Built-in caching
Several layers of server caching (memory, page and object caching) serve pages quickly without extra setup.
Tuned, modern servers
HTTP/2-optimized servers, pre-tuned PHP and up-to-date PHP versions keep code running fast.
Global content delivery
Images and files can be served from a network of locations around the world, close to each visitor.
Room to grow
When traffic grows, the server’s memory, processing power and storage can be scaled up, so your site stays fast during busy times.
Locked down
Security at the server level, before anything reaches your website.
DDoS protection
Every server is protected against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that try to knock websites offline.
Firewall and bot protection
A server firewall blocks brute-force login attempts, bad bots and suspicious traffic, with allow and block lists when needed.
Vulnerability scanning
WordPress core, plugins and themes are scanned for known vulnerabilities, so we can patch them quickly.
Free SSL and patches
Every site gets a free SSL certificate (why SSL matters), and the server’s operating system gets regular security patches.
Always on
Monitoring, backups and safe ways to make changes.
24/7/365 monitoring
Servers are monitored around the clock on more than 16 health metrics, with alerts for uptime, performance and security.
Offsite backups
Daily backups are stored offsite, and a site can be restored with one click if anything goes wrong.
Staging copies
We can clone a website to a private staging copy, test changes there and publish them only when they’re ready.
Choice of data centers
Top cloud providers and data centers around the world, so your website runs on dependable, modern infrastructure.
Hosting comes with Website Care
Hosting is one part of our Website Care Service, so the people who host your website also update it, secure it and answer your calls.

Leighton is incredible!! You truly don’t have to look any further, Pioneer Media is the way to go! I recently moved to Sarasota, FL and met with a few local web developers before I contacted Leighton and none of them even came close to being as good as Leighton and his team.

He was easy to work with and made the entire process very simple on our end. He listened to what we wanted and made sure we were 100% satisfied with his execution of our ideas. We couldn’t be happier with our new (and improved) site and would highly recommend Leighton and Pioneer Media for those looking to update and/or maintain their websites!
