14-day retention by default, with local and remote copies stored in Wasabi, AWS S3, or Google Drive.

X-Core — Managed WordPress for professionals

One price. One SLA. We run the infrastructure, security, updates, and backups, you run the client relationship.

Note: we don’t host AI-generated side projects or DIY experiments. Production sites only — clients who care about uptime, security, and real traffic.

The agency advantage

Software licences included

We provide agency licences for Elementor Pro, Fluent Forms Pro, Tutor LMS, RankMath, and more. You don’t buy per-client licences — we include them as part of the managed stack.

Design + dev on demand

When you need hands, we step in. Elementor build-out, theme dev, custom plugin work, checkout flows — keep the relationship, we keep the tickets.

For professionals only. We reserve the right to decline sites that are clearly AI-generated experiments, unfinished side projects, or clients with no budget for ongoing maintenance. We host production sites — not throwaway builds.

Final quote depends on actual I/O, DB size, cron frequency, and support SLA. We scale the plan to fit the workload before you sign. For migrations, renewals, or custom works, use the contact form — it feeds the WTS ticketing queue.
