Choose a hosting provider

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

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

Hosting with Bluehost or GoDaddy? Please contact us.

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 after they sign in. Some hosting providers will ignore these cookies by default therefore we will redirect members to your main page instead of their previous location. Please contact your hosting provider and ask them to add a custom cache exception for Memberful (exclude memberful_endpoint=.* from the cache).

If you're hosting with Flywheel, ask them to whitelist ?memberful_endpoint and add memberful_endpoint as a cookie-keeping path.

If you're hosting with WP Engine, ask them to whitelist the memberful_redirect cookie.

If you're hosting with SiteGround, you can add the custom cache exception via the SG Optimizer plugin in your Wordpress dashboard.
