Gamma 91 vs WordPress.
No plugins. No patches. No panic.

WordPress runs on PHP and plugins, exactly what attacks target. Gamma 91 websites run neither.

October 2026 · PHP2Shell

When PHP breaks, WordPress breaks with it.

PHP2Shell was a set of critical flaws in PHP itself, the language WordPress runs on. AI is speeding up how fast flaws like this are found and weaponized: PHP2Shell was discovered with AI models, and exploit attempts were reported before the fixes had even shipped. Updating WordPress or its plugins didn't help. Sites stayed exposed until the PHP underneath them was patched.

22M+Internet-exposed systems estimated to be potentially vulnerable
70%Of websites with a known server language run PHP
0WordPress or plugin updates that fixed it

Why it's worth the switch.Less to worry about, more to show for it.

  1. 01

    A much smaller target.

    Most WordPress vulnerabilities live in plugins and themes, and PHP2Shell showed the language underneath can fail too. Gamma 91 websites run none of them.

  2. 02

    Nothing to patch or babysit.

    No core updates, plugin updates or PHP upgrades on your to-do list. We host and maintain your website for you.

  3. 03

    Changes take an email, not a developer.

    Skip the dashboard and the hourly bill. Email what you want changed and we handle it.

Questions, answered.The details, in plain words.

Was Gamma 91 affected by PHP2Shell?

No. Gamma 91 websites don't run on PHP, WordPress or plugins, so PHP2Shell didn't apply to them, and customers had nothing to patch.

Are Gamma 91 websites more secure than WordPress?

They give attackers far less to work with: no PHP, no plugins and no themes to update. We host and maintain them, so security updates are never on your to-do list.

Is Gamma 91 built on WordPress?

No. Gamma 91 websites are built directly from code on a modern web development framework and served from a global edge network.

WordPress is free. Why pay $199 a month?

The software is free; the website isn't. Hosting, a theme, plugins, security, setup and ongoing updates all cost money or time. Gamma 91 includes design, hosting, maintenance and monthly changes in one flat rate.

Can you move my WordPress site?

We rebuild it and leave the plugins behind. We start from your existing content and show you live drafts within one business day.

What about my blog?

Blogs are supported. Email us a post and we publish it. Each new post uses one New Content Job and goes live the same day, weekends and holidays included.

Keep comparing.More side-by-sides.
