When shared hosting isn’t enough

If your sites are hitting limits, you need more performance and stability, without becoming a server admin.

Shared Hosting

Affordable and easy, until traffic spikes, plugins, or multiple sites push you over the edge.
The right choice

Performance Cloud

Performance + visibility + flexibility, fully managed, with enterprise tools included.

VPS

Full control, but you own the setup, security, optimization, and extra licensing costs.

Stop guessing about performance

Performance Cloud gives you visibility and guidance you don’t get with other hosting plans.
Monitor usage, get alerts, and make smarter decisions — faster.

Real-time visibility

See resource trends per site so you know what’s happening and why.

Smart fault alerts

Spot issues before clients do, and react confidently.

Actionable insights

Get guidance that helps you prioritize performance fixes.

Scale
safely

Adjust resources as demand changes, with no downtime.
Performance Cloud portal in WHC's Client Area

Allocate resources per website

Not all websites are equal. Your hosting shouldn’t treat them that way. Traditional hosting divides resources evenly across sites, even when only one site needs the power. Performance Cloud adapts resources based on real workload.

The "same-sized cookies" problem

Most hosting gives every site the same slice. Performance Cloud lets your busiest site get more, without wasting resources on quieter sites.

Resources distribution example

L Large
agency-portfolio.com
M Medium

S Small

AI Website Builder

AI Website Builder

Build your
dream site with AI

Describe the website you want and let AI take care of the rest.

Powered by WordPress AI generated websites examples

Describe your idea

Share your idea and sit back while AI brings it to life.

Make edits easily

Ask the AI to edit anything, from text to design.

Try, then publish

Try it for 14 days, then launch your website whenever you’re ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

A website gives you a professional online presence that you fully own. Whether you’re starting a business, promoting a service, building a personal brand, or sharing information, a website helps people find you, trust you, and contact you anytime, from anywhere.

Unlike social media, your website is entirely yours and works as a central hub for everything you do online.
Not anymore. Modern website builders like WHC’s AI Site Builder are designed specifically for beginners. You don’t need to know how to code, design, or set anything up manually.

If you can answer a few simple questions, you can create a complete website.
A website builder is a tool that helps you create a website without needing technical skills. It handles the layout, structure, and setup for you, so you can focus on your idea instead of the technology.

WHC’s AI Site Builder goes a step further by automatically generating your website using artificial intelligence, which you can then easily customize according to your needs!
WHC’s AI Site Builder is an AI-powered tool that creates a complete WordPress website for you in minutes. By answering a few simple questions about your business or idea, the AI generates a professional website with layouts, content, and images tailored to your needs.

No coding or design experience required.
Yes. The AI Site Builder is ideal for people who are:
  • Launching their first website
  • Starting a new business or side project
  • Not sure where to begin
  • Short on time or technical knowledge
It removes the complexity and helps you get online quickly, without pressure or long learning curves.
Most websites are generated in just a few minutes. After answering a handful of questions, your site is created instantly and ready to use.

You can publish right away or take your time customizing it.
The process is simple:
  1. Describe your business or website idea
  2. Choose your style and preferences
  3. Let the AI generate your website automatically
Your site is built instantly and opens in WordPress, ready for editing.
Not at all. Everything is created for you automatically. You can make changes using WordPress’s intuitive editor, which works much like a document editor.

If you can edit text and click buttons, you can manage your website.
Yes. Your site is built entirely on WordPress using native blocks. This ensures strong performance, flexibility, and long-term compatibility, meaning your site works like a standard WordPress website, not a closed system.
No. You’re never locked in. Because your site uses standard WordPress tools, you can continue to expand, customize, or even migrate your website just like any other WordPress site.

Unlike some other “easy” website builders out there that lock you in and force you to rebuild everything if you ever want to leave. You know, the ones whose names rhyme with Mix and SpareSpace.
Yes. The AI can generate written content and images tailored to your website, helping you launch faster. You can edit, replace, or expand anything at any time.
Absolutely. You have full control over your site. You can:
  • Edit text and images
  • Add or remove sections
  • Create new pages
  • Change colours, fonts, and layouts
Everything is editable directly in WordPress.
You manage everything from WHC’s Client Area, whether you have a WHC plan or are just enjoying the free trial.

From there, you can:
  • Access your AI Site Builder
  • Manage your hosting and domains
  • Launch or upgrade your website
  • Get support from WHC’s expert team
Once your website is created, you’ll also be able to edit it directly in WordPress using its built-in editor. The Client Area simply acts as your central dashboard for managing your services.
Yes. All websites created with the AI Site Builder are fully responsive and optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.
The AI generates well-structured, relevant content to help you get started quickly. You can further optimize your site using WordPress SEO plugins and best practices as your website grows.
The AI Site Builder is ideal for:
  • Small business websites
  • Blogs
  • Portfolios
  • Service-based websites
  • Informational sites
The AI adapts layouts and content based on your industry and goals.
With the AI Site Builder, you have access to built-in assistance tools, including the AI Agent, which can help you create content, adjust layouts, and make changes directly inside WordPress. These tools provide on-demand guidance while you work, so you’re never stuck figuring things out on your own.

WHC’s expert support team is also available by live chat and ticket. Whether you’re launching your site or making updates later, help is always available.
After your 14-day free trial, you can choose whether you’d like to keep your website and continue using WHC’s AI Site Builder.

If you decide to continue, you’ll simply select a hosting plan and your website will remain live and fully editable in WordPress. If you choose not to continue, nothing is charged, but you’ll no longer have access to your website.

The trial gives you time to explore the tool, build your site, and decide at your own pace!
