The 3 steps Savvii uses to onboard an agency for the reseller program
By: Danny
Will you be our next partner?
Do customers regularly ask you for hosting services? Or do you already sell hosting, but are you unsatisfied with your current provider? We will be happy to help you integrate our quality hosting into your agency.
Why become a reseller at Savvii?
By buying in large you create extra monthly turnover without offering overpriced hosting to your customers. Many marketing and web development agencies have gone before you. Every month they generate extra revenue by selling our hosting to their clients. We prefer to call our resellers partners. After all, there is more to it than just reselling hosting. Becoming a reseller at Savvii means that you’re going to outsource your hosting and thus entrust us with the websites of your customers. We take this seriously, which is why our hosting needs to fit in seamlessly with your core business. Our hosting should not get in the way of your core business, but should support and compliment it. In concrete terms, this means that our hosting is stress-free and doesn’t burden you with extra work. Read below what we offer as a partner and how we can achieve your goals together.
Performance
Our hosting environment is specifically designed for WordPress websites. This means that the ‘server stack’ has been optimised with WordPress in the back of our minds. As a web server, for example, we choose NGINX over Apache (the most commonly used web server). We also set up Varnish cashing at server level. When building up our server stack, we always ask the question: ‘What is best for WordPress? If it improves the performance of WordPress websites, then we will make an effort to do so. This makes our hosting superior to generic hosting. This enables us to get the most out of your customers’ WordPress websites!
NoMoreWordStress
Do you spend a lot of time on peripheral issues such as updates, system administration, security and improving loading times? Savvii takes these matters off your hands. You can be sure that this work is carried out in a professional and automated manner every day. This creates more time to do what you are good at: building WordPress websites. At Savvii we call this #NoMoreWordStress
Knowledge
If we compare your website to a car, hosting is the engine that pulls that car forward. A powerful and well-oiled engine ensures a fast website and extra website building possibilities. The ideas you have for your website can be presented to us. We will be happy to look at what’s technically possible when it comes down to hosting. Our WordPress experts know how to make optimal use of our platform with your website.
Security
WordPress is known for its ease of use. The CMS is so popular that thirty-five percent of all websites today are built on it. This entails a number of security risks. A single entry or vulnerability can potentially be used to hack into or infect other WordPress websites as well. Security is therefore Savvii’s number one priority. We apply strict security measures and follow strict security protocols. Also our clients are subjected to certain protocols that need to be followed. Aside from our general security measures we also offer an additional security package from Sucuri. This package enables clients to crank up their website’s security significantly.
Service
If you need us, we’re available. We can be reached on weekdays by phone during office hours, but outside these hours we have the 24/7 emergency number. Email (via our ticket system) and chat are also part of our support arsenal. What makes our support team special? Only WordPress specialists work for us. This makes it easier for us to detect problems and to solve them quickly. In addition, we’re always ready to give advice on website problems that fall outside the scope of hosting issues.
Partnership
As a partner, we won’t leave you out in the cold when it comes down to selling our hosting. In an advisory role, we are happy to help you with how to integrate our services and products within your agency. We can help you with price propositions (how much should you charge your customers), promotional material and sales tactics. As a partner, we’ve got your back!
Savvii Hosting Features
- Daily back-ups
Daily backups
Each Savvii plan features daily backups.
Why does this benefit me?
Don’t worry about your data – every night, we create a daily backup of all of your websites, which we save for 14 days off-site. Simply choose which part of your website you want to recover. You can choose to recover an entire website backup, or just the database, code files, or media folder.
- Malware detection & clean-up
Malware detection & clean-up
Each plan features malware detection & clean-up.
Why does this benefit me?
We scan all websites on our platform daily for backdoors, malware, and other security risks. If you turn to us with a hacked website, or if you have been hacked in spite of all of our security measures, provided that you have the automated update feature turned on, we will clean up your website free of charge.
- Staging
Staging
Each plan features staging.
Why does this benefit me?
Our staging feature allows you to easily modify your website without inconveniencing your visitors. For example, test the latest PHP version, install a new plugin, or change your website’s theme. If everything is working properly on your staging website, simply press the button to implement the changes in your live website.
- Automated updates
Automated updates
Each plan features automated updates.
Why does this benefit me?
This means that you will no longer need to install core and plugin updates; our control panel offers you the options of switching on automated WordPress core and/or plugin updates. We will then install the updates for you and check your website; if anything doesn’t work properly, we will restore the back-up we’ve just made and inform you of what has happened.
- Free SSL certificate
Free SSL certificate
Each website gets a free SSL certificate.
Why does this benefit me?
You receive a free DV SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt for every website. An SSL certificate not only makes your website safer, but it also enables you to utilise HTTP/2. HTTP/2 results in faster loading time because it allows multiple assets to be loaded at the same time.
We will also help you with an EV SSL certificate or Wildcard certificate for multiple domains.
- sFTP & Database access
sFTP & Database access
Each plan features sFTP & Database access.
Why does this benefit me?
Easily connect to your database via phpMyAdmin and manage your website files via sFTP, the secure version of FTP. If your website runs on a VPS package, you will also be able to connect directly with a database client.
- 24/7 Emergency Support
24/7 Emergency Support
VPS plans feature 24/7 Emergency support.
Why does this benefit me?
We are at your service even on the weekends or after office hours. If you notice anything wrong with your server, just call the emergency support number – even in the middle of the night! Our experts will get to work on finding what’s wrong right away and solve the problem for you as soon as possible. - Varnish caching
Varnish caching
Each plan comes with tuned Varnish caching.
Why does this benefit me?
A faster website! We use Varnish cashing to ensure better performance. Our Varnish configuration has been specially optimised for WordPress, resulting in faster loading time for your visitors.
- Memcached
Memcached
VPS plans come with Memcached caching.
Why does this benefit me?
This means that apart from the static pages on your website (via Varnish caching), you will also be able to cache objects, improving the loading time of these elements and the pages that they feature on. This is a very useful feature for making dynamic websites such as WooCommerce online shops even faster.
- Own IP address
Own IP address
VPS plans come with their own IP address.
Why does this benefit me?
Having your own IP address allows you to control what is on the server, as opposed to a shared server that is shared with others. With your own IP address, you are not dependent on other people’s websites, preventing yourself from ending up on a blacklist due to other people’s mistakes.
- Multiple server locations
Choose your server location
Pick your server out of twelve different locations
Why does this benefit me?
Our servers are located worldwide. You handpick the server your website should be placed on. In this way you can strategically pick a server that’s close to your customer base.
- Specialized support
Specialized support
Specialized support by mail, chat or phone.
Why does this benefit me?
We’re available when you need us. During the week we’re reachable during office hours, but we also have a 24/7 emergency number.

In addition, we’re always ready to give advice on website problems that fall outside the scope of hosting issues.

- Create your own backups
Create and download backups yourself
Choose your own moment to create a backup
Why does this benefit me?
We implemented automatic backups to our services. But we also allow you to create your own. This gives you even more certainty to fall back on when implementing new features.
