WordPress is used by over 43% of all websites online today, and while this statistic proves how popular WordPress remains, it also presents an enticing target for bad actors. 11,334 vulnerabilities were discovered within WordPress in 2025 alone, which was a 42% increase over 2024. With the pace of exploits ramping up, the onslaught can start to feel overwhelming.

Enter GoDaddy’s new partnership with Patchstack.

Patchstack is an industry-leading WordPress security platform, and we’ve integrated this service directly into our Managed Hosting for WordPress plans to help our users successfully mitigate these security challenges.

Let’s check out how this partnership can help with your WordPress site.

What does this partnership mean for Managed WordPress users?​

Keeping a WordPress website secured can feel like a full-time job. Outdated plugins are by far the biggest security risk, representing 91% of new vulnerabilities found last year, but themes and unpatched code also present their own particular attack vectors.

Get clear, practical insights into site vulnerabilities​

Patchstack’s integration into Managed WordPress helps simplify your WordPress security. Our customers get straightforward, actionable information about their site’s vulnerabilities, displayed clearly within their WordPress dashboard. No more guesswork or exhausting site patching sessions.

To accomplish this, Patchstack offers Virtual Patching, a cutting-edge protection layer that neutralizes known vulnerabilities before a manual update is even available.

“Security shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for enterprise businesses. With Patchstack integrated into our Managed Hosting for WordPress platform, we’re putting enterprise-grade vulnerability intelligence directly in the hands of every GoDaddy customer and giving them a simple, affordable way to act on it. You get peace of mind, so you can focus on what matters most: your business.”

– Shwetal Covert, Director of Security Products, GoDaddy

Continue to use the dashboard you already know​

With our integration with Patchstack, our customers are able to use the WordPress dashboard they already know. That means there’s no complex setup to perform or third-party account to access. It’s all available within your GoDaddy Managed WordPress experience, making it easier to stay on top of your site health.

“Managed Hosting for WordPress is all about taking the hard stuff off your plate so you can focus on running your business. Adding Patchstack to the mix means our customers now have a powerful security layer that works quietly in the background and kicks into high gear when they need it most. It’s a natural extension of the ‘managed’ promise we make every day.”

– Drew Wilde, Director of Managed Hosting for WordPress, GoDaddy
