Cheap VPS hosting and every other stack, priced from the hosts' own pages
Every price on this site was fetched from the host's own pricing page and matched word for word before it was published, with the date we checked it. Hosting is sold on intro prices, so the term each price requires and what the plan renews at sit beside it wherever the host prints them. No stars, no sponsored ranking, no estimates.

Ordered by printed entry price per month. An entry price with a 36- or 48-month term is the price of a prepaid contract, not of a month; the renewal column is what the same plan costs afterwards, where the host prints it. Taxes, setup fees and add-ons are not in the table.
The constraints that choose between stacks
- WordPress managed hosting vs unmanaged Managed WordPress hosting sells the work: updates, backups, caching, security and a support desk that knows WordPress, at a price per site that starts around the cost of a small VPS and rises with traffic.
- Website hosting and maintenance cost The hosting bill most people quote is the intro price on the sign-up page; the bill they pay is the renewal, plus the domain, plus whatever maintenance nobody budgeted for.
- WordPress hosting with staging A staging site is a copy of your site where updates and changes are tested before they touch the version customers see.
- Dedicated server management A dedicated server is a whole machine, and someone has to run it: patch the operating system, watch the disks, respond when it stops answering at night.
- Website hosting and domain Most shared hosting plans bundle a free domain for the first year, and most people take it.
- Reseller hosting company Reseller hosting is a block of hosting bought wholesale and sold on under your own name: an agency hosting its clients' sites, a freelancer bundling hosting with a build, a small provider starting without servers.
