Managed WordPress hosting on Pantheon, run by people who answer
Webidextrous has hosted on Pantheon almost exclusively since 2013. You get Pantheon Preferred pricing, a free migration, and optional Total Care maintenance, with no billing surprises from year to year.
What comes with every site we host
We host WordPress and only WordPress. Every site we place on Pantheon gets the same foundation, whether it is a five-page brochure site or a busy store.
Pantheon Preferred pricing
As a Pantheon Partner agency we pass partner pricing straight to you. It is roughly 20% below list and the rate does not jump at renewal.
Free migration
We copy your site, test it on a private URL, and cut over with zero downtime. You approve it before anything changes.
Dev, Test, and Live environments
Three real environments on every site. Changes are proven on a copy before your visitors ever see them.
Global CDN and free SSL
Fast delivery worldwide and managed HTTPS certificates, included in the platform. No add-on fees.
Automated daily backups
Code, database, and files are backed up automatically and can be restored in one click.
Launch support
DNS, redirects, forms, and email delivery are checked at go-live. You are not left alone on launch day.
Total Care maintenance, from $149 per site per month
Hosting keeps your site online. Maintenance keeps it healthy. Total Care is optional, and it is how most of our clients stop thinking about their website at all.
Updates, tested first
WordPress core, plugins, and themes are updated on a copy of your site and checked against the pages you care about before going live.
Security monitoring
Firewall, malware scanning, and regular security reviews. If something looks wrong we act on it and tell you what we did.
Performance checks
We watch speed and uptime and fix regressions before they cost you visitors.
Real support channels
Phone, Slack, and email from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern, plus a support form any time. You talk to the people who manage your site.
Need more? Add it when you need it.
Redis object caching, Elasticsearch, load testing, PageSpeed optimization, long-term offsite backups, two-factor authentication, PHP upgrades, and custom upstreams are all available as add-ons.
Prefer to manage the site yourself? You still get Preferred pricing and a free migration.
Coming from another host?
These guides cover what to expect when you leave a specific host. New guides appear here as we publish them.

What you get when we move you to Pantheon
Pantheon is a WebOps platform built for WordPress, not a shared server with a control panel bolted on. Here is what changes the day your site moves.
Dev, Test, and Live environments
Every change is tried on a copy of your site first. Updates and redesigns never touch the live site until they are proven.
Global CDN and built-in caching
Fast page loads worldwide without stacking caching plugins. Performance is part of the platform, not an add-on.
Automated backups you can restore
Daily backups of code, database, and files, restorable in a click. Not a support-ticket-and-wait process.
Container-based scaling
No noisy neighbors. Your site runs in its own containers and can scale up for traffic spikes.
Security handled at the platform level
Hardened infrastructure, managed PHP and MySQL, free SSL, and a team watching the platform around the clock.
A partner agency on your side
Webidextrous manages the move, the setup, and (if you want) ongoing maintenance. You get one accountable team, not a ticket queue.
Pantheon Preferred pricing, through Webidextrous
Webidextrous is a Pantheon Partner agency. That means your site gets Pantheon Preferred pricing, roughly 20% below Pantheon list price, whether or not you choose a Webidextrous maintenance plan. You pay less for the same platform.

Prices from pantheon.io as of September 2026 and subject to change. Preferred monthly rates shown are the annual rate divided by twelve. Most small business sites fit Basic or Performance Small. Your quote will name the exact plan.
Add maintenance, or run it yourself. Your call.
With a Webidextrous maintenance plan we handle core, plugin, and theme updates on the Test environment first, monitor uptime and security, and keep backups verified. Prefer to manage the site yourself? You still get Preferred pricing and a free migration.
How the free migration works
You keep working. We do the move. Most sites are live on Pantheon within one to two weeks of your go-ahead.
1. Quote and plan (1 business day)
Fill out the form. We review your site, recommend a Pantheon plan at Preferred pricing, and send a written migration plan.
2. Copy and test (2 to 5 days)
We copy your files and database to Pantheon, fix anything host-specific, and test the site on a private URL. You review it before anything changes.
3. Cutover (about an hour)
We point your domain at Pantheon, issue SSL, and verify forms, email delivery, and redirects. Your visitors see no downtime.
4. Cancel the old host
Once you confirm everything works, you cancel the old plan. Optional: we take over ongoing updates, backups, and monitoring.

Migration questions, answered
Yes. When you move to Pantheon through Webidextrous, we migrate a standard WordPress site at no charge. Very large sites, multisite networks, or sites that need repair first get a written quote before any work starts.
No. We build and test your site on a private Pantheon URL first. The cutover is a DNS change that we schedule and verify, so visitors never see an outage.
Pantheon hosts websites, not mailboxes. If your email lives with your current host, we help you move it to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 before cancelling, and we set up your site to send transactional mail reliably.
No. Your domain stays with your registrar. We only update DNS records to point at Pantheon.
Most sites are live on Pantheon within one to two weeks of your go-ahead. Simple sites can move in a few days.
No. Preferred pricing and the free migration do not depend on a maintenance plan. Many owners add one because updates on a Test environment first is a big step up from updating live.
Yes. WooCommerce stores run well on Pantheon Performance plans. We test checkout end to end before cutover.
