Built on open source. We give back.
EasWrk would not exist without open source. The software that runs your site, your server, and your edge is open. We host it, we depend on it, and we release our own tools the same way.
We host WordPress and WooCommerce, we build on DirectAdmin and LiteSpeed, and we release the tools we write under open licences. No licence fees, no upsells, no strings.
What we run on
Almost everything we offer sits on top of open-source software. When you host with EasWrk, you are running on tools that thousands of people have built and tested in the open.
- WordPress powers the sites our customers build. It is the most widely used content platform in the world, and it is free and open.
- WooCommerce turns WordPress into a full store. Every eCommerce plan we sell is built around it.
- DirectAdmin is the control panel behind your hosting account. It gives you file access, email, databases, and DNS without us standing in the way.
- LiteSpeed serves and caches your pages at the edge. It is the reason a WooCommerce store on EasWrk stays fast under load.
- MySQL, PHP, and Redis handle the data, the application layer, and the object cache on every plan.
We do not hide this. The same software you would run yourself is the software we run for you, tuned and maintained so you do not have to.
What we build
We write tools to solve our own problems first. When a tool turns out to be useful on its own, we release it. Our WordPress and WooCommerce plugins are written for real stores, running in production, and published under the GPL. Each one fixes a specific gap that WordPress or WooCommerce does not cover out of the box.
Releasing under the GPL means you can use them, read the code, change them, and ship your changes. That is the deal open source runs on, and we keep our side of it.
Why it matters to you
Open source means you are never locked in. Your site is standard WordPress and WooCommerce. Your data is in standard MySQL. If you ever want to leave, you can take everything with you and run it anywhere. We would rather earn your business every month than trap you with a proprietary stack you cannot move.
It also means more eyes on the code. Security issues get found and fixed in the open, by a community far larger than any single hosting company.
How we support the projects we use
We support open source by running it well, reporting issues we hit, and publishing the tools we write rather than keeping them private. When we patch a problem that affects the wider community, we aim to share the fix upstream.
