The audience: Digital agencies, developers and tech-forward businesses managing multiple client websites who need reliable, scalable infrastructure to overcome the limitations of traditional shared hosting.
The Client: PageHub
PageHub is a results-driven digital marketing agency based in Costa Mesa, California. The team supports hundreds of small businesses across the U.S. and Canada. It helps them strengthen their online presence through subscription-based website and SEO services.
Their delivery model is built entirely on WordPress. This gives the agency flexibility, customization and the ability to manage clients sites at scale. As their portfolio expanded, maintaining performance and operational efficiency across multiple client websites became critical to sustaining growth.
For PageHub’s leadership team, including Kasey, Project and Production Manager, Ricardo, Digital Marketing Manager and David, Head of IT, hosting is not just infrastructure. It directly supports their recurring revenue model.
Each client website must deliver consistent performance, maintain security and remain scalable as their portfolio grows. Reliable hosting is essential to protecting client relationships, meeting SLAs and sustaining long-term agency growth.
The challenge: Hitting the wall with legacy hosting
As PageHub’s portfolio grew to hundreds of client sites, their previous hosting resources began limiting their performance and stability. Traditional shared hosting is not built for the demands of managing multi-site environments at scale.
Security and infrastructure instability
“Security vulnerabilities, downtime and limited control became recurring themes,” said David, Head of IT. “We’d face malware infections or SQL injections across multiple sites at once and we were constantly in crisis mode.”
As PageHub’s portfolio expanded, weaknesses in their hosting environment became more visible. Security incidents were not isolated. When one issue surfaced, it often affected multiple client sites simultaneously. The lack of control and consistency made it difficult to maintain stability across the portfolio.
Business impact across the client portfolio
The impact wasn’t just technical. Frequent server outages would take dozens, sometimes hundreds of client sites offline, forcing the client services team to field urgent, stressful calls.
This constant crisis management drained internal bandwidth and prevented the team from focusing on proactive strategy and growth. Instead of optimizing campaigns and improving performance, they were reacting to infrastructure failures.
Ricardo, Digital Marketing Manager, summarized the frustration: “It always felt like we had to overcompensate for our provider’s limitations. The tools weren’t intuitive and support often left us with more questions than answers. That made it hard to scale or trust the platform.”
A strategic inflection point
After reassessing their hosting strategy, the team recognized that sustainable growth required infrastructure built for agency-scale operations. They needed stronger control, consistent reliability and WordPress-optimized environments designed to support multi-site management and long-term portfolio expansion.

PageHub saw faster page load times across client websites. This led to improved SEO performance and stronger client satisfaction.
