WordPress-relatert anmeldelse

Enkel WordPress-installasjon

XServer Businesssupports Easy WordPress Installation, which installs WordPress 6.8 from the control panel in just a few clicks. It automatically handles the database and PHP settings, and SSL is enabled at the same time, so the work required for the initial setup is almost zero.

Drift av flere nettsteder

Because multidomain, subdomains, and email accounts are unlimited, you can centrally manage a corporate site, recruiting pages, campaign landing pages, and more under a single contract. The ability to split admin privileges by department is also convenient for business use.

Migrering av WordPress-nettsteder

You can use both Easy WordPress Migration, which copies your site by entering only the old server URL, ID, and password, and the server migration service, where engineers handle everything for you (free the first time).

In particular, the managed migration service also handles the DNS switch, so I especially recommend it for businesses that already have traffic and absolutely want to avoid DNS mistakes during migration.

Anmeldelse av ytelse og spesifikasjoner

Ytelsesvurdering basert på våre målinger

XServer Businesspowered a WordPress site that we measured at a TTFB (Time to First Byte, in other words the response speed before the page begins showing content) of 40 ms.

That is far faster than the 200 ms server response speed Google expects, so it is an excellent fit for high-traffic corporate websites and business sites.

You should reduce your server response time under 200ms.

Improve Server Response Time

It was the second-fastest of the 18 servers we measured. (Kinsta was No. 1.)

It uses a domestic backbone directly connected at 10 Gbps and NVMe RAID10 storage. According to the official benchmark, it is up to 17 times faster than conventional SSD storage.

Diskkapasitet

In autumn 2024, the three shared plans were expanded to 700 GB / 800 GB / 900 GB (all NVMe). Even if you launch many landing pages with lots of photos and videos, you still have plenty of headroom.

In finance and healthcare, email often has to be retained for seven years or more as an audit trail, and sales departments tend to handle large attachments. Because the available storage is so large, you can keep that mail safely without constantly deleting old data.

You can also build on-premises-style storage such as WebDAV or Nextcloud and manage internal documents securely over a VPN connection.

Overføringsvolum

XServer Businesscan be used without transfer limits within normal usage ranges. The official documentation clearly states that there are no transfer-volume charges.

Serverstabilitet og oppetid

Even the shared plan includes a monthly 99.99% SLA, which means you receive a refund if the guarantee is not met. With both high stability and an SLA, it is exactly the kind of service businesses need.

Because server outages and maintenance information are openly published on the official site, anyone can check them at any time.

Pris og kostnad

Startgebyr og månedspris

XServer Businesscharges 4,180 yen per month for the Standard plan with a 12-month contract. With the 30% cashback campaign running until July 8, the effective cost is 2,926 yen. Considering that phone support, chat support, and managed services are included, I find that to be a reasonable level.

Pris på domener

XServer Businessincludes one free domain such as .com or .net, plus a second one (chosen from .blog, .online, or .site) that is also free forever. The permanent free custom domain benefit supports new registration, transfers from other companies, switching an already obtained domain, and changing the eligible domain.

Kostnad for SSL-sertifikat

With Let's Encrypt, domain-validated SSL is free. Paid domain-validated SSL starts at 836 yen per year, organization-validated SSL (OV) starts at 26,400 yen per year, and EV starts at 66,000 yen per year, all available through official one-stop ordering.

Prices can vary depending on the campaign.

Betalingsmetoder

XServer Businesssupports credit cards, bank transfer, Pay-easy, convenience store payment, and invoice billing. It can also issue PDF quotations and invoices, so adoption is smooth even for companies that need internal approval.

Brukervennlighet og støtte

Kontrollpanelets brukervennlighet

XServer Businessuses its own UI so file operations, SSL settings, and email settings are all handled with one click. Because the official documentation clearly states that setup is completed within 24 hours, it is easy to plan your launch schedule.

Støttesystem

Support is available by phone, email, and chat on weekdays from 10:00 to 18:00. The Enterprise shared plan and the managed server plans also come with dedicated support desks, so you can get even more attentive and faster assistance.

Setup support is free and unlimited, and you can request anything from DNS changes to Cron settings. That makes it reassuring even for companies without a dedicated IT staff member.

Administrerte tjenester

The managed server migration service is free the first time. Because it copies entire HTML sites and CMS sites alike, it has a strong track record for projects that want to avoid late-night or weekend downtime.

Manualer og vanlige spørsmål

The official PDF catalog covers everything from payment methods to plan upgrade procedures, and it is quite easy to search. I think many users will be able to solve issues on their own before contacting support.

E-postfunksjoner

XServer Businessoffers unlimited accounts, and its webmail UI was refreshed in spring 2025, making it comfortable even on smartphones. It also includes a high-performance Cloudmark Authority-based spam filter free for up to 1,000 accounts, and the company states an effective detection rate above 99%.

It is also easy to create newsletters and mailing lists. You can quickly send updates to customers or messages to a specific department inside your company.

Sikkerhet og sikkerhetskopier

Sikkerhetstiltak

WAF and website tamper detection come standard. It automatically blocks vulnerability attacks and unauthorized file replacements, and it sends email notifications when something abnormal happens. An external security diagnostic by Secom is also provided once a year at no charge.

Using website tamper detection helps you avoid situations where you fail to notice a problem and let it grow worse.

Automatiske sikkerhetskopier

On every plan, web, mail, and database data from the past 14 days is backed up automatically every day. You can restore it for free with one click from the panel, which reduces recovery costs after mistakes or malware infections.

Sammenligning med konkurrerende bedriftsservere

Sammendrag

XServer Businessis a business-focused rental server that provides speed, security, and operational support as a one-stop service.

• Small and midsize businesses that want to run multiple sites and outsource infrastructure
• People handling DX work on top of other duties who feel nervous about configuration mistakes
• Teams expecting future traffic growth but not wanting AWS-level operating costs

In these cases, the return can easily exceed the monthly price difference. On the other hand, if you only need a single static page or want to run a custom platform that requires root access, you may want to consider a cheaper shared server or a VPS instead.

In the end, the smart approach is to convert both personnel cost and outage risk into money and then decide whether XServer Businessis worth its monthly fee.
