On the scene of WordPress hosting, competition-wise, you can spot two types of providers from a mile away. The first group offers general-purpose hosting that just happens to “work with WordPress”. The second group lives and breathes WordPress. Every decision they make is about plugins, updates, caching quirks, and uptime graphs. Those are the providers that clients rarely leave.
OneStopWP sits firmly in the second camp. Based in Estonia, they’ve built their reputation on something far more valuable than recycled promises and industry clichés: actually making WordPress run better. We recently had the pleasure of connecting with Hristo Atanasov, CEO of OneStopWP, to look into how they’re growing, why they picked PanelAlpha, and what’s changed for their customers since.
A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR WORDPRESSAs Hristo puts it, OneStopWP is a premium managed WordPress hosting provider based in Estonia, mainly serving clients across Europe. Their focus blends speed, security, and ease into one smooth WordPress experience.
Their customer base reflects the diversity of today’s WordPress community: agencies, freelancers, bloggers, and e-commerce owners who depend on uptime and performance. Hosting, though, is only the beginning. We offer expert support, free migrations, performance tuning, and personalized setup assistance, Hristo adds. The portfolio even extends to custom SSLs, domains, and free hosting for charities – a nice touch that underscores the company’s community-driven ethos.
THE ROAD FORWARDWhen asked about future plans, Hristo doesn’t rattle off a laundry list of features. Instead, he points to practical growth strategies: regional landing pages and marketing campaigns to reach beyond Europe.
At the same time, there’s a strong focus on e-commerce. We’re introducing one-click staging environments and enhanced WooCommerce optimization, he explains. Anyone who’s ever run a WooCommerce shop knows those optimizations can safely be considered survival tools. OneStopWP is also leaning into partnerships through a growing affiliate program. The strategy is clear: empower the community and let word-of-mouth do its work.
BEHIND CHOOSING PANELALPHALike many hosting providers, OneStopWP’s early years involved the usual suspects: cPanel, Plesk, and even some custom-built stacks. They worked… up to a point. But, as Hristo says, they lacked flexibility and were not optimized for scaling or modern WordPress automations.
Here’s where PanelAlpha found its place. We needed a platform built with WordPress-first logic, he explains. Traditional panels felt too generic, too slow, and too manual. Our platform broke the pattern with deep automation and WordPress-native methods.
The real difference shows up as faster deployments, easier structuring, and less workload on the technical team. Or, to put it in hosting terms: fewer headaches per site.
CUSTOMERS NOTICE THE DIFFERENCEAsk Hristo how users responded, and he doesn’t hesitate: Our customers have been extremely happy with the speed and reliability. Performance and uptime gains have been obvious from day one. Clients also value proactive care as well as the clear way their sites are looked after.
Perhaps the biggest win? Support tickets. We’ve had significantly fewer hosting-related issues since the switch, he says. Anyone who’s worked in hosting knows that’s the ultimate metric. Fewer tickets mean happier clients and a team free to focus on improvements instead of drowning in daily issues.
FROM ISSUES TO PROGRESSThe numbers back it up. Since adopting PanelAlpha, OneStopWP has seen a clear drop in downtime and technical issues. Customers are sticking around longer, leaving better reviews, and – crucially – referring others.
As Hristo sums it up, It’s helped us build more trust and deliver a smoother onboarding experience. That has directly translated into increased retention and positive recommendations.
That’s the kind of growth loop every provider dreams of: reliability breeds trust, trust breeds loyalty, and loyalty fuels referrals.
GOOD ENOUGH TO RECOMMEND?Here’s the short answer: yes. Without hesitation, says Hristo. PanelAlpha, in his view, brings modern simplicity to WordPress hosting infrastructure. It’s easy to use, yet powerful enough for more technical users.
The balance between simplicity and power is exactly what let OneStopWP refine workflows while boosting customer satisfaction. Or, as he puts it more bluntly: If you’re a hosting provider or agency looking to scale without drowning in server-side complexity, PanelAlpha is a solid choice.
WHAT’S CLEAR NOWHostPress based in Germany, NameHero in USA, and now OneStopWP in Estonia – they all prove that a WordPress-first approach is no longer a niche in hosting services.
When combined with automation and transparency, it becomes a sure recipe for happy customers, fewer tickets, and teams that can finally breathe.
A huge thanks to Hristo Atanasov for giving us this peek inside OneStopWP. His team is putting PanelAlpha to work in ways that show what a modern hosting company can achieve, and that energy helps make the platform stronger for the entire community. We’re excited to see where they take it next.
