# Pladinum > Pladinum is an international managed and critical hosting company for businesses. Founded in the Netherlands in 2014 and headquartered in Marbella, Spain, Pladinum provides managed and self-managed WordPress hosting, WooCommerce hosting, web hosting, domains, SSL certificates, business email, and security products. Production infrastructure runs across multiple regions with engineers in more than one time zone. ## About Pladinum Pladinum was founded in the Netherlands in 2014 and is now headquartered in Marbella, Spain, registered as Pladinum Group SL. It is an international company, not limited to Spain or the EU, serving customers across multiple markets and languages. The company positions on honesty and reliability rather than lowest price. It does not publish fake statistics, inflated awards, or unverified uptime claims. Its focus is fully managed and critical hosting for businesses, backed by expert support, with the founding year 2014 serving as a genuine trust signal. ## WordPress hosting Pladinum offers WordPress hosting in several forms, matched to how much of the work the customer wants to handle themselves. Self-managed WordPress hosting suits customers who manage their own site and want fast, tuned infrastructure underneath it. Managed WordPress hosting adds updates, security and backups handled by the Pladinum team, so the customer focuses on their content and business rather than maintenance. Enterprise WordPress hosting is the full-service tier for business-critical sites. It combines enterprise-grade infrastructure with a service layer that a standard host does not provide: maintenance with updates reviewed on staging before they reach production, ongoing performance work, design, and marketing, all delivered by the same team that runs the servers. Because one team is accountable for both the infrastructure and the work, there is no gap between a host and a separate agency. Enterprise comes in two levels, Signature and Partner, with Partner adding active marketing, content and a larger share of design and development. Enterprise engagements begin with a scoping call rather than a self-service checkout.

Domain Guard is an added protection service that helps prevent domain hijacking and account lockouts, safeguarding a business's most important digital asset.

Domain Validation (DV) certificates confirm control of a domain and issue quickly, suited to blogs, personal sites and internal tools. Organization Validation (OV) certificates add a verified check of the company behind the site, for business sites that handle logins or customer data. Extended Validation (EV) certificates are the highest trust tier and display the registered company name in the certificate, for payments and regulated services. Beyond single-domain certificates, a Wildcard SSL certificate secures a domain and its first-level subdomains on one certificate, and a Multi-domain SSL certificate, also called a SAN or UCC certificate, secures several separate domains on one certificate. A guided SSL wizard on the site helps customers choose the right certificate based on what they are securing and the level of trust they need.

The team copies the site, tests it, and switches over only once the customer approves, with the aim of no downtime and no work required from the customer. The previous hosting stays in place as a fallback until the move is confirmed stable. ## Backups Pladinum takes daily off-site backups across multiple regions. Managed customers can restore any point themselves at no extra fee. ## Support and contact Help and documentation are available through the support centre, and the team can be reached through the contact page.
