Choose a hosting provider

These are the WordPress hosting providers we would recommend for use with Memberful (in alphabetical order):

• Flywheel or Siteground for smaller sites.
• Pagely, Pantheon, or WP Engine for larger sites.

Install an SSL certificate (recommended)

After you choose a WordPress host, we strongly recommend enabling SSL on your WordPress website. All of our recommended hosting providers have easy installation and support for SSL.

Redirects not working?

We set a cookie that redirects members back to the page they were on (or somewhere else) after they sign in. Some hosting providers will ignore these cookies by default and still serve the page from the cache. Please contact your hosting provider and ask them to add a custom cache exception for Memberful (exclude memberful_endpoint=.* from the cache).

Hosting with Flywheel? Contact a support engineer and ask them to whitelist
?memberful_endpoint and add memberful_endpoint as a cookie-keeping path.

Hosting with SiteGround? Navigate to cPanel→ PHP Variables Manager and add session.cookie_path variable to session.cookie_path: /memberful_endpoint/
Make sure you set a trailing slash at the end of the path.
