The three hosting plans come with a free SSL certificate that is assigned automatically to all your WordPress websites. The plans also include iTheme Sync Po which allows users to manage all their WordPress websites from one place. It also shows performance reports, analysis, and lets you control various aspects of your WordPress websites.
In an interview with Jeff Chandler of WP Tavern, Cory Miller, founder of iThemes, said:
“Now our customers can get WP backups, security, site management and in-depth reporting all from one dashboard, along with their hosting. With our Business plan, they get BackupBuddy, our WordPress backup plugin; iThemes Security Pro, our WordPress security plugin & iThemes Sync Pro all in one. Plus they get an awesome team of WordPress pros for support if they need help or have any issues”
