  Hi, I need to send another web provider the IPS tag for my site, so that I can transfer the domain to WordPress (after setting up the subscription). Could you tell me where to find it? Also wondering if WordPress automatically reduces image sizes appropriate for the web, or if they need to be resized before uploading to WordPress?

  Many thanks.

  Hi there, if your site is hosted here, we do take care of image compression automatically, yes. Our services include a CDN as well to help optimize your site all the more.

  Regarding the domain: is this a .uk domain? I know they use IPS tags, but we’re currently unable to accept incoming transfers for them:

  You are more than welcome, though, to map the domain to our services while keeping it registered with another provider. Here’s how:

  Does that help? If you have more questions, we’re eager to help as needed.
