WordPress hosting: hosts compared on printed prices
WordPress hosting ranges from a shared plan with WordPress preinstalled to a platform built only for it, with staging, a tuned cache, a CDN and support staff who read your logs. The managed specialists print monthly or annual prices with little intro discount; the shared hosts print the same intro-and-renewal shape as their other plans. Every host below has a live WordPress hosting page on its own domain and a printed price, quoted verbatim with the date.

A host appears here when its own live page for WordPress hosting answered at the linked URL on the date shown. Prices in the table are each host's printed entry price for its flagship stack, the term that price requires and what it renews at; the entry price of a host's other stacks is on its own page, linked beside the figure.
Choosing WordPress hosting
Decide who does the maintenance. Managed hosting includes updates, backups and security; unmanaged leaves them to you. The managed-versus-unmanaged guide on this site sets out the sum.
Check staging on the tier you are pricing. It is standard on the managed specialists and a higher-tier feature on several shared hosts; the host's page linked beside each price says which.
Compare year two. The managed specialists' printed prices mostly are year two; the shared hosts' entry prices are not. The renewal column puts them side by side.
Common questions
- How much does WordPress hosting cost?
- Printed entry prices in the table run from a few dollars a month on a prepaid shared term to $25 to $35 a month for a single site on a managed specialist, each quoted from the host's page with its term and renewal.
- What is the difference between WordPress hosting and web hosting?
- Often only the installer. Managed WordPress hosting is a different product: a platform tuned for WordPress with staging, caching and WordPress-aware support, priced per site.
- Do I need managed WordPress hosting for a small site?
- If nobody will apply updates and take backups, it is the cheapest way to have them done. If someone will, a shared plan with a WordPress installer is cheaper at renewal.
