EKS-WP Dominator

EKS-WP Dominator is EKSNEKS’s top-tier managed WordPress plan, built for agencies, WooCommerce stores, and organisations running large or business-critical WordPress ecosystems. €80/month for up to 5 WordPress sites, 24/7 priority support with a direct Slack channel, 24 GB of RAM, 6 dedicated vCPU, 50 GB of NVMe, and a config specifically tuned to keep WooCommerce and multi-tenant WordPress fast under real production traffic.

Dominator is the plan where you stop assembling infrastructure and start delegating it. If your alternative is a €200/month AWS bill (before you count developer hours for maintenance) or a €300/month competitor’s WooCommerce-tier managed plan, Dominator is the aggressive value option that still gives you a real engineering team behind it.

WooCommerce hosting that survives Black Friday

WooCommerce is why most stores and agencies end up on Dominator. The plugin itself is unrestrained: every extension you install adds its own database bloat, its own cron jobs, its own object cache footprint. Add a bloated theme, half a dozen third-party payment gateways, a couple of marketing plugins, and a stock shared host runs out of memory before your first campaign email lands.

The specific tuning we do for WooCommerce on Dominator:

• Object Cache Pro compatibility. Full Redis 7 stack, sized for a large product catalogue, persistent across restarts, warm within seconds. If you bring your Object Cache Pro license we integrate it in your onboarding — noticeable admin speedup, faster REST API, better checkout under load.
• LiteSpeed page cache with WooCommerce-aware invalidation. Cart pages, my-account pages, and checkout flow are excluded from cache correctly (a mistake shared hosts routinely get wrong). Product and category pages are cached and invalidated by product update signal.
• MariaDB InnoDB configuration that keeps row-locking out of your product-search queries — critical for stores with variable products or heavy filter UI.
• PHP-FPM pool sized for larger memory (512 MB per-request default, 1 GB available on burst), because Woo plugins routinely request 256 MB just to render checkout.
• WooCommerce Analytics scheduled jobs get their own worker so a heavy Analytics rebuild doesn’t stall checkout.

Agency and multi-site friendly

Dominator includes up to 5 WordPress installations per subscription, each with its own database, its own file-system quota, its own SSL certificate, and its own Redis namespace. Client A’s cache doesn’t fight Client B’s. Client A’s slow WP-cron doesn’t slow Client B’s front-end. Each site’s admin credentials are scoped to that site.

This is the shape agencies want: separate credentials per client, no cross-contamination, but a single billing relationship and a single engineering team to escalate to when something breaks.

The full spec sheet:

• 24 GB dedicated RAM. Not shared, not burstable — yours, isolated at the container level.
• 6 dedicated vCPU cores on AMD EPYC 9004-series hardware.
• 50 GB NVMe storage (per subscription, shared across your sites).
• Up to 5 WordPress installations in a single Dominator subscription.
• PHP 8.3 with per-site PHP-FPM pool tuning — each site’s PHP worker count is sized independently.
• LiteSpeed + Redis + Object Cache Pro compatibility.
• Daily backups, 30 restore points, weekly off-site full backup, monthly cold-storage snapshot. Point-in-time restore available on request.
• Managed WAF, DDoS mitigation, brute-force login protection — same edge that protects our own infrastructure.
• Staging environment per site — one-click clone, promote, or rollback, with database-aware merge.
• 99.99% uptime SLA with automatic credit.
• 24/7 priority support + private Slack channel + emergency phone line.

What “priority support” actually means at Dominator tier

Every Dominator customer gets a shared Slack channel with the EKSNEKS engineering team on the first day of their subscription. If a checkout is misbehaving at 22:00 on a Saturday, you don’t email support and wait — you tag us in Slack. Our on-call engineer sees the alert, opens the logs, and if it’s a stack problem we fix it inside the SLA window without asking you to open a ticket first.

Typical response times on Dominator during business hours: under 15 minutes. Overnight: under 60 minutes for anything urgent, next-morning for non-urgent. Emergency: paged immediately (site down, checkout broken, admin locked out).

For agencies, we also offer optional white-label support: your clients see EKSNEKS-branded uptime dashboards under your own domain, and your team can escalate their tickets directly into our queue with your context attached. Ask us about it during setup.

Migration for every site, done by hand

Dominator includes a white-glove migration for every site in your subscription — up to 5 sites, no per-migration fee, no “we’ll charge you for the difficult ones”. We move file systems, databases, WordPress user accounts, cron jobs, and any custom nginx or Apache rewrite rules.

For WooCommerce specifically we also:

1. Test-run 3 sample transactions against Stripe, PayPal, and any other configured gateways (in test mode) to confirm nothing broke in the migration.
2. Validate your webhook endpoints against the destination host.
3. Rebuild WooCommerce Analytics indexes on the destination so day-one reports are correct.
4. Verify tax and shipping rules cover the same regions with the same rates as pre-migration.

If your existing setup involves Multisite, subdomain-mapping, or third-party CDN configuration (Cloudflare enterprise rules, KeyCDN, BunnyCDN), we handle all of that in the migration. The goal is that switching to EKSNEKS is a change you don’t feel as a store operator.

Purpose-built for multi-tenant WordPress

Because Dominator was built with agencies in mind, we’ve tuned specific corners that generic hosts miss:

• WP-cron isolation per site, so a heavy import on Client A doesn’t slow Client B’s front-end.
• Per-site error-log rotation, so debugging one issue doesn’t drown you in another site’s noise.
• Per-site staging URLs so you can hand off a preview link to a specific client without giving them access to your other work.
• Per-site backup retention policy so a media-heavy client gets more retention than a small brochure site.
• SSO into the Dominator admin dashboard for your internal team, with per-site access control.

Real-world sizing

To help you decide if Dominator is the right shape:

• A single WooCommerce store with 500-2,000 products and 20k-100k monthly visitors fits comfortably.
• An agency running 3-5 mid-sized client sites (mixed brochure + Woo + multilingual) fits comfortably.
• A publisher with 5,000-20,000 posts and 250k-1M monthly page views fits comfortably.
• A B2B SaaS marketing site + docs + blog + community fits comfortably.

Above those thresholds we quote a custom infrastructure engagement — same team, dedicated hardware, per-project pricing. Ask us at [email protected].

Pricing designed for annual commitments

€80/month is the price for up to 5 sites — already less than most agencies spend on hosting one site at a competitive managed host. Longer subscriptions save more:

• 1 month: €80
• 3 months: €240
• 9 months: €684 (5% off)
• 12 months: €864 (10% off — save €96)
• 24 months: €1,632 (15% off — save €288)

No mandatory contracts. No per-site setup fees. No charge for staging environments. No charge for SSL. If you’re currently running WooCommerce or an agency stack on generic managed hosting, ask us for a side-by-side migration quote — most agencies save money moving to Dominator even before we count the developer hours we save you every month.

When Dominator is the wrong plan

Two cases:

1. A single brochure site or portfolio is oversized on Dominator — Speed (€15/mo) is the right shape.
2. A single-site multilingual publisher without WooCommerce or agency multi-tenant needs is usually a better fit for Authority (€55/mo) — same speed, right price.

If your workload is bigger than Dominator (dedicated hardware, custom cluster, sovereign-cloud requirements, sub-99.99% needs), we run those as custom infrastructure engagements. Ask us and we’ll scope it.

Order EKS-WP Dominator — we set up your first site inside 24 hours and migrate the rest on your schedule.
