BEYOND Co. (Headquarters: Naniwa-ku, Osaka; President: Masahiro Haraoka; hereinafter "BEYOND"), a provider of cloud/server business, will start offering a new cloud server dedicated for WordPress, "WebSpeed Lite Plan".

＜WebSpeed Light Plan

The current situation of WordPress security

WordPress is a CMS (Contents Management System) that allows people without website skills to create websites easily, and has the largest market share in Japan and the world.

WordPress, which has many users both in Japan and abroad, is an open source software (OSS), so in recent years, when attack methods have become more sophisticated, it has become an easy target for attackers who abuse it, so it is necessary to strengthen security and update its operation.

WordPress is used by various organizations such as government, administrative, and educational institutions as well as companies, but if your website is attacked, you will suffer from information leakage and contents falsification, so you need to recognize the security issues correctly and take proper measures in advance.

Challenges of conventional WordPress servers

WordPress is free and license-free, and even beginners of website design or those who have no experience of website design can easily build a website, which has many merits.

In addition, in order to protect your website from attackers who find vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access, it is necessary to strengthen security.

Standard security functions are not enough.

You can't customize the security part freely.

Users have to do all the security enhancements themselves.

System updates are difficult, and there are high operational barriers.

Background of WebSpeed Lite Plan Release

With the release of the WebSpeed Lite Plan, we hope to make the highly secure server environment more accessible to all users.

We have decided to release the WebSpeed Lite Plan at an affordable price so that a wider range of customers can easily adopt WebSpeed Lite Plan. The Lite Plan offers some of the features of the regular version at a reduced price.

BEYOND has been building and operating cloud and server environments used in various website infrastructures for 17 years. By leveraging the technical expertise we have cultivated over the years, we are pleased to begin offering the "WebSpeed Lite Plan" so that our customers can use our services more easily, affordably, and with peace of mind.
