One long-standing major problem with using Patreon with WordPress has been the web host incompatibility with Patreon plugins and its API.
Web host configurations do many things to hamper your site’s connection with Patreon. They can mistakenly block the plugins from contacting Patreon for security reasons, prevent post syncing, keep patrons from logging in, prevent certain plugin features from working, – and the worst – implement opaque caching systems on their servers that are out of your control. Those caches can show stale gated content to your users that they should not have access to. Or do the opposite and block content from your patrons who should be able to access it.
All of these result in constant, hard-to-debug, recurring issues that prevent your site from working with Patreon. The web hosts may even be unwilling to address these issues when contacted.
To solve these problems, we partnered with a very prominent player in the WordPress world and built PressBard, a managed Patreon-compatible cloud hosting service for WordPress, on their infrastructure where the most prominent WordPress sites are hosted.
This service brings you all the benefits of the modern cloud and combines them all with Patreon compatibility in an easy-to-use and affordable way. It allows beginners to host their WP sites without any technical knowledge but it also provides advanced users with all the advanced tools they need.
It has very fast page speeds, very large traffic allowance, managed WP core & updates, very snappy WP admin and tools like WP CLI, SFTP, SSH, phpMyAdmin, all baked in with no additional cost.
It also provides very important cloud features like high availability/failover, CDN, Edge Caching, Web Application Firewall, security, DDoS Protection and anti-spam. Everything you need from the cloud, again, all baked in with no additional cost.
To top these all, this cloud is not a generic cloud – it is made for WordPress – everything is optimized to work the best with WordPress core, themes and plugins in the WP ecosystem.
It supports all kinds of WP sites from the smallest blogs to the largest publishing sites and even WooCommerce or other online shops with over hundred thousand products without losing performance or breaking the bank.
So you can host any WP site on our cloud – not just the Patreon-linked ones.
And all of this is managed. You don’t need to worry about any of those or lose time by managing them. You can just concentrate on your Patreon and your site instead.

We are very excited to provide this service to our community and we wish to see you hosted with us!
