WordPress hosting

Managed WordPress hosting from $79/month

A managed WordPress box for a well-behaved blog or brochure site. US servers, WHM/cPanel, backups on and off site, 9–5 CST. Starting at $79/month. If the site sells, that is WooCommerce — a different plan.

What this WordPress hosting plan is for

A marketing site, a blog, a brochure the editors can actually update. Managed WordPress hosting here is sized for that. It is not Magento, it is not a 4,000-SKU Woo store, and it is not a cheap shared account that renews at four times the teaser rate.

  • WHM/cPanel
  • SSL
  • On-site and off-site backups
  • US data centers
  • Chicago hours
  • We patch the stack

Servers are in US data centers. We run WHM/cPanel. Backups sit on the machine and off it. Support is Chicago hours, 9–5 CST, at (773) 466-2454.

Hosting is the box, not the build

PHP, SSL, backups, and core hygiene. You stay in wp-admin. Theme and plugin work is WordPress development, scoped separately. You can host a site we did not build.

Need the site itself — rebuilds, editors, Porter? That is WordPress development.

WooCommerce is a different plan

If the site sells, say so. WooCommerce hosting is from $149/month; final sizing depends on catalog and checkout load. We will not pretend a cart belongs on this box.

Magento is heavier still — from $199/month on Magento hosting. The Chicago comparison is on web hosting.

Questions

What does WordPress hosting cost?
Managed WordPress hosting starts at $79/month for a well-behaved blog or brochure site on US servers.
Is WooCommerce included on the WordPress hosting plan?
No. If the site sells, that is WooCommerce hosting from $149/month. We will not pretend a checkout belongs on the brochure plan. Final sizing depends on catalog and checkout load.
Where are the WordPress servers?
US data centers. WHM/cPanel, on-site and off-site backups. Support is Chicago hours, 9–5 CST.
Do you migrate an existing WordPress site?
Yes. We move the files, the database, and the DNS cutover. If you are changing platforms entirely, that is a migration project — see /migrations/.
What is the difference between WordPress hosting and WordPress development?
Hosting is the box: uptime, backups, PHP, and the morning after a bad plugin. Development is the site itself — design, theme work, Porter, and the editor experience. You can buy one or both.
