Platform Architecture

How WordPress Hosting Works on G7Cloud

We don't just put WordPress on a server. We run it in isolated containers with platform-level security, image optimization, and dedicated resources built directly into the infrastructure.

WordPress in an Isolated Container

Traditional shared hosting puts hundreds of sites on a single server, fighting for the same resources. If one site gets a traffic spike or gets hacked, your site suffers.

At G7Cloud, every WordPress site runs in its own isolated Linux container. You get guaranteed CPU and RAM that is 100% yours. No noisy neighbours, complete file system isolation, and predictable performance.

  • 100% resource isolation per site
  • Guaranteed CPU and RAM allocation
  • No noisy neighbour performance drops
  • Complete file system separation

Security Built Into the Infrastructure

Stop relying on bloated security plugins. We protect your site at the network and platform level before malicious requests even reach WordPress.

ScaleShield WAF & BotShield

Our proprietary Web Application Firewall sits in front of your container. It automatically filters out bad bots, mitigates DDoS attacks, and blocks known vulnerabilities before they hit PHP.

  • Brute force protection on wp-login.php
  • Automated bad bot and scraper blocking
  • DDoS mitigation at the edge network

Platform-Level Hardening

We configure the underlying Nginx and PHP-FPM environments specifically for WordPress security, locking down common attack vectors by default.

  • XML-RPC disabled by default
  • PHP execution restricted in /wp-content/uploads/
  • wp-config.php protected at the server level

Intelligent Automatic Updates

Keeping WordPress updated is critical for security, but updates can break things. We handle updates intelligently at the platform level.

Before updating plugins, our system takes a snapshot, performs the update, and runs visual regression testing. If the site looks different or throws errors, we automatically roll back and notify you.

Platform-Level Image Optimisation

Forget about heavy plugins like Smush or Imagify that eat up your server resources and slow down your admin dashboard.

G7Cloud automatically intercepts image requests at the edge network, converting them to next-gen formats like AVIF or WebP on the fly, resizing them for the user's device, and caching them globally.

  • Zero plugin overhead on your WordPress site
  • Automatic AVIF & WebP conversion
  • On-the-fly responsive resizing
