We break it on purpose.
Grandhosting is managed WordPress and WooCommerce hosting in the EU, run from our own dashboard. Before we ask you to trust us with your site, we cause the failures ourselves and measure what a visitor would see.
We killed a server mid-request.
Not a graceful shutdown. We pulled it in the middle of a request, the worst case, while the site served dozens of simulated visitors at once.
On Standard your site always runs on at least two servers, so the other copy carried on while a replacement started by itself. Micro runs on one server and can see a short interruption.
We took a whole machine offline.
The site’s server was drained out from under it, and every copy on that machine had to find a new home.
Every copy of your site is checked constantly. If one stops answering, visitors stop being sent to it and a fresh one starts by itself.
We restored a backup and checked it.
Every site is backed up every night to storage separate from the server it runs on, and each backup is kept for 30 days. A backup only counts if it comes back, so we restored a nightly backup into a sealed copy and compared it with the live site.
All matched. Restoring your own site is one click in the dashboard.
We stopped the database mid-write.
This is the one that matters most. When a database changes hands, the risk isn’t a down page, it’s a half-finished order. We shut down the main database while new data was being saved non-stop.
Your site has its own database, and a live copy of it runs on another server. Keep scrolling: the clock is what our test measured.
In our tests: the live copy took over by itself in about 14 seconds. Writes paused, then carried on. Scroll drives the clock.
Steady by design.
The tests are the proof. This is what keeps it that way, every day, with nothing for you to set up.
Balanced or Strict. You choose, per site.
Most sites run on Balanced: a change is applied once and reaches every server within seconds.
