• What is a Virtual Private Server (VPS)

  A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting environment that provides your website with its own dedicated resources within a larger server, acting like a private slice of a powerful computer. Unlike shared hosting, where resources are divided among many websites, a VPS offers better performance, enhanced security, and greater control, making it ideal for growing businesses or websites with higher traffic and complex needs.

• Is VPS hosting better?

  Typically, Yes.

  VPS hosting offers better performance, security, and scalability compared to shared hosting. It provides dedicated resources, ensuring faster speeds and reliability, while also allowing more control and customization. Unlike dedicated hosting, it’s cost-effective, delivering a balance of power and affordability for growing businesses.

• What are SiteVivid's Cutting-Edge Virtual Servers?

  SiteVivid’s Cutting-Edge Virtual Private Servers use NVMe Solid State Drives and 3GHz+ Intel Xeon processors.

  Why Are They Better?

  NVMe Drives: An NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) solid-state drive is a super-fast storage device that uses cutting-edge technology to access data much quicker than traditional drives. For hosting, this means faster website loading times, better performance during high traffic, and an overall smoother user experience.

  Intel Xeon Processors: A 3GHz+ Intel Xeon processor is a high-performance computer chip designed for handling demanding tasks quickly and efficiently. For website hosting, it ensures faster processing speeds, better handling of multiple users at once, and more reliable performance.

• What Are SiteVivid's Different VPS Levels?

  SiteVivid offers seven levels of Virtual Private Servers, each with a unique resource configuration, allowing clients to scale performance as their business grows.

• What is SiteVivid's "Live Comparison"?

  We’ll set up a secure, password-protected “private testing room” for you on our network. This dedicated space, with its own unique web address, lets you evaluate our hosting performance without affecting your live site. Your current website remains fully functional with your existing host, so you can test with complete peace of mind.

  Once your testing room is ready, we’ll create an exact copy of your current website and transfer it into the testing environment. With your test site in place, you’ll have two days to put it through its paces. Most clients notice an immediate improvement, but if you’re not impressed, no problem—your live site stays untouched, and you’ve risked nothing.

  Click Here To Schedule Your Live Comparison.

  Some limitations may apply. Scheduling is required and there are limited monthly spaces. We will need temporary sFTP access to your current website or temporary administrative access your WordPress dashboard.

• What does "Site Speed" refer to?

  Hosting businesses often refer to “site speed,” but what they’re actually talking about is the speed of individual web pages. This refers to how quickly a page loads and responds when someone visits it, including how fast images, text, and other content appears on your computer screen, as well as how smoothly users can navigate between pages.

• Does the speed of my website matter?

  Yes, the speed of your website matters.

  Website speed matters because a fast-loading site keeps visitors engaged and less likely to leave. Slow websites frustrate users, leading to higher bounce rates and fewer conversions. Plus, search engines like Google prioritize faster sites, meaning better speed can help your website rank higher and attract more traffic.

  Here are a few studies from reputable sources on the benefits of website speed:

  • Impact on User Engagement and Bounce Rates
  • Effect on Search Engine Rankings
  • Overall User Experience
• Does the location of my website matter?

  Yes. The location of your website hosting server significantly impacts its performance and user experience. A server closer to your audience reduces data travel time (latency), resulting in faster page load times and a better overall browsing experience. This is especially crucial for sites with video and images as they will load more quickly and without interruptions.

  Additionally, faster load speeds improve your search engine rankings, as search engines favor speedy websites with lower bounce rates and longer user engagement. Choosing a server near your target audience ensures your site performs at its best and keeps visitors happy.

• What is a CDN and why is it good?

  A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a system of servers around the world that delivers your website’s content (typically your images and other media) from the server closest to each visitor. This makes your website load faster, improves reliability, and provides a smoother experience for users no matter where they are.

Support, Content Edits, & Maintenance

• What are SiteVivid Website Content Edits?

• What can I NOT do with Website Content Edits?

  Website Content Edits are designed for typical, day-to-day website content activities. They can not be used for larger or specialized projects or tasks. These projects and tasks include but are not limited to:

  • New website design or development.
  • Adding new pages. (new blog posts are acceptable)
  • New photography, photo sessions, photographer oversight.
  • Complex image manipulation or creation.
  • Any support, maintenance, graphic design, or updates for any website NOT hosted on our network.

  • Any task that takes more than 30 minutes to complete.
  • Any tasks associated with eCommerce administration (e.g., shipping or billing configuration, order management, purchase fulfillment, etc).
  • Tasks related to third-party services, such as Shopify or any remote e-commerce platforms, external form services, remote portals, and similar systems.

   

  If you are looking for more specialized or project-oriented content support, please ask us for a project proposal.

• How much time is needed every month for content edits?

  While there are limited statistics on how much time small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) spend updating website content each month, it’s generally recommended to review and update basic content at least monthly to keep information current and relevant.

  The time required varies based on the amount and complexity of website tasks you have. Factors like the types of content updates (adding blogs or rewriting CSS code), promotions, eCommerce activity, or SEO efforts will require different amounts of time.

  Based on our experience, 3 hours per month is way more than most small businesses need when it comes to routine content edits. In fact, most clients use far less. Unless you’re actively managing things like frequent SEO updates, highly dynamic event calendars, or daily blogging, you’ll likely find that even a fraction of that time is sufficient for your needs.

• Can I use more monthly edit time than my plan includes?

  Yes, there are two ways to use more content edit time.

  First, if you have an annual subscription plan, you can combine the total time from all 12 months into a single pool, giving you more flexibility in how you use it.

  Second, all clients have the option to purchase additional time blocks as needed.

• Will I have access to the WordPress Dashboard?

  Fully Managed Hosting:
  Yes. You have full Administrative access to your WordPress dashboard.

  Worry-Free & All-In-One Plans:
  Yes. During your 12- or 18-month term, we provide Editor-level access to the WordPress dashboard upon request. After successfully completing the 12- or 18-month term, you will be granted Administrator-level access to the WordPress dashboard.

• Do maintenance tasks detract from content edit time?

  Fully Managed Hosting Plans:
  Typically, no. But, if you have Administrator access to your WordPress dashboard and an issue arises due to changes or actions you make, the time required for SiteVivid to resolve it may be deducted from your allotted amount of content edit time or additional charges my apply.

  Worry-Free & All-In-One Plans:
  During the 12- or 18-month term, no. Routine maintenance tasks related to WordPress software, server software, security, backups, monitoring, and similar activities are fully included and do not count against your allotted content edit time for tasks like copy edits, adding blog posts, or updating images.

  After the 12- or 18-month term, if you have Administrator access to your WordPress dashboard and an issue arises due to changes or actions you make, the time required for SiteVivid to resolve it may be deducted from your allotted amount of content edit time.

• Does SiteVivid Support Page Builders?

  SiteVivid’s support team is highly skilled with the Divi Builder and the state-of-the-art Bricks Builder, providing comprehensive support for content edits and troubleshooting on WordPress websites built with these tools.

  We also have experience with other popular page builders like Elementor and WP Bakery, enabling us to offer some content support for these platforms in many cases.
