FAQs

  How is this better than just WordPress?

We include way better tools for moderation, content filtering, network administration, and privacy baked right in. This includes dozens of plugins and hundreds of themes that are fully supported by our team. Plus, no headaches, no down time, and no upgrades to manage.

  What if we already use WordPress?

Even better! We have migrated dozens of networks that started off self-hosting but needed to switch services as their platforms grew. With our focus on the security and scalability of your network, we’ll plan out a migration timeline and review your current network to ensure a smooth transition.

  What about hosting, safety, and security?

Our server network is hosted in state-of-the-art data centers and we employ the latest technologies and monitoring resources available to keep everything running smoothly and out of harms way. Our cache and performance optimization tools in place keep everything fast too – so go viral, we can handle the traffic! See more on our hosting and security guide.

  What single-sign-on options are available?

At no extra cost, we can authenticate using Active Directory, Shibboleth (we’re a member of the InCommon Federation), CAS, and several other custom SSO solutions. Learn more here about our authentication options.

  How is support provided?

We will work with you to meet your needs, including setting up web-based or in-person trainings, handling all teacher/faculty support directly, and much more. Interactive support content and access to our help desk is found right inside the WordPress dashboard, including videos and other helpful resources.

  How much does CampusPress cost?

Pricing starts at $2,000 USD per year and depends on full time enrollment and the type of sites to be hosted. We are able to create a no-obligation quote with just a few short questions answered. Just request a quote and we’ll get you sorted quickly.
