Weave Managed WordPress Hosting review
A security-focused managed WordPress service for organizations that need ongoing maintenance.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Weave Managed WordPress Hosting provides managed cloud hosting and ongoing WordPress maintenance for New Zealand organisations, professional services firms, science and agritech groups, and small businesses. It covers WordPress core and plugin updates, automated backups, staging sites, security monitoring, malware scanning, caching, CDN delivery, uptime monitoring, and direct local support. The service runs on the web and suits teams that want hosting and maintenance handled as one service rather than managing these tasks internally.
Pricing is structured across three monthly plans. The Basic Plan costs $137 per month and includes managed cloud hosting, unlimited traffic, software updates, basic email support, daily or weekly cloud backups, and malware scanners. The Improve Plan costs $217 per month and adds priority email and phone support, video training, privacy-focused analytics, and quarterly consulting. At $399 per month, the Growth Plan adds priority phone support, a private Slack channel, hourly backups for ecommerce stores and transactions, competitor analysis and reporting, and monthly consulting. The published plans show a clear increase in support and advisory services as pricing rises.
Security and operational coverage are central to the offering. Real-time vulnerability scanning and patching, malware detection, firewall and DDoS protection, uptime monitoring, daily automated backups with restore, staging sites, and server and Redis caching address the recurring maintenance needs of WordPress sites. Integrations include Google Sheets, Mailchimp, HubSpot, MailerLite, Stripe, Windcave, eWay, and Gravity Forms. Organizations that need managed maintenance, security controls, and responsive support can justify the service; smaller sites with limited budgets should choose a lower-cost hosting option instead.
