What is Go54? 

Go54 is a leading web hosting and digital services provider in Nigeria. The company serves over 100,000 users across Africa. Counted as the number one hosting provider on the continent, the business’s ethos is centered around empowering individuals all the way through small, medium, and large enterprises to do their best within the digital space. 

The Challenge 

Go54’s existing WordPress management setup required manual updates and didn’t have the centralized control that both they and their end users required. This meant that it wasn’t just inefficient, but potentially vulnerable. 

They were seeking a reliable, scalable, and above all secure solution to manage their clients efficiently. Their portfolio of users building business on the WordPress platform was growing increasingly fast, and ensuring they kept up with demand while continuing to provide the high-quality service they were known for was paramount to their needs. Additionally, the solution needed to be automated, easy-to-use, and workable across multiple sectors. 

Enter WP Squared 

After evaluating several competing options, they found WP Squared to be the perfect fit for the needs of their users. The solution provided all of the elements of simplicity, security, and automation that they required to maintain and improve the standards their customers were used to. 

As a service built for hosting providers all the way to WordPress users, WP Squared’s scalability ensured that Go54 could fulfil requirements for all of their clients, big and small, while improving operational efficiency across the board. Additionally, the solution integrates seamlessly with cPanel, Plesk, and, as in the case of Go54, with WHMCS. 

What Were The Results? 

The company used WP Squared across their entire server ecosystem. The integration was smooth with minimal support required. The automated updates and backups of the platform allowed Go54 to improve site management for all of their clients, both big and small. They were also able to ensure better uptime, faster loading speeds, and an increase in security.

Our very own CTO of Cloud Platform and Incubation Projects, Jan Loeffler, kicked things off with his keynote presentation “WordPress by the Numbers.”

This guide to the galaxy of WordPress revealed there are over two billion hostnames worldwide, over 717 million of which are active within the WebPros domain database, and over 80 million of those hostnames are running WordPress as its primary CMS.

Jan went on to reveal some of our research, including that 60% of websites are built by web age

ncies and web professionals, and that over 80% of agencies resell hosting. It was also shared that 1 out of every 3 WordPress websites on the internet are powered by a WebPros control panel, either cPanel or Plesk.
