What’s included
Content creators can publish
without filing an engineering ticket
When publishing slows down, business slows down. Every plan starts from one assumption: creators run content, developers build, and the platform stays out of the way.
Content creation and
editorial operations
Publish faster, with fewer mistakes, even under pressure.
Content intelligence
and analytics
Turn content performance into editorial decisions in real time.
Performance, scalability,
and reliability
Operate with confidence when demand spikes without warning.
Security, compliance,
and governance
Stay audit-ready in regulated and high-scrutiny environments.
Platform extensibility
and ecosystem
Fit into your architecture without compromising security or scale.
Platform care
Get top-tier enterprise support any time of day, anywhere in the world.
Lower cost of ownership
A platform is more than the
line item on the contract
The bigger costs of an enterprise CMS include developer hours, integration work, infrastructure tuning, and the staff time keeping it up. WordPress VIP and Parse.ly take those line items off the spreadsheet.
- Reduce development and maintenance costs by up to 45% (Forrester TEI Report)
- Cut internal operations work with managed infrastructure
- Shorten training through intuitive editor and developer tooling
- Consolidate the analytics stack with Parse.ly natively integrated
- Connect to the tools you already pay for through open architecture
How demanding content
operations keep publishing
The proof isn’t in feature lists. It’s in election nights, breaking news cycles, and the quiet Tuesdays that follow.
TIME
Even at “peak Swift,” TIME.com effortlessly handled the incoming tidal wave without downtime or drama.

Frequently asked questions
What is WordPress VIP?
WordPress VIP is the enterprise content platform from Automattic, built for organizations that publish under real pressure — high traffic, regulated environments, and editorial teams that can’t afford downtime.
Are there setup fees or additional charges?
No setup fees. No surprise add-ons. Pricing is set at contract signature and holds for the term.
Are there overage charges if traffic spikes?
No. A breaking news event or a viral moment won’t generate an invoice. Plans include the headroom your tier supports.
How long are your contracts?
Annual, with renewal terms agreed upfront.
How long will it take to migrate my site to WordPress VIP?
Our migration team is ready when you are. Contact us for a personalized estimate of timelines.
What’s the difference between WordPress and WordPress VIP?
WordPress is the open-source CMS that runs 43% of the web. WordPress VIP is its managed enterprise platform: the same editorial experience, with added security, compliance, and traffic capacity for enterprise operations.
