Choose hosting that fits your website.
Compare shared hosting, WordPress hosting and VPS by workload, control and support needs. A WordPress site can suit shared hosting too: the right choice depends on its resources and the tools you need.
Start with your workload
Three options, different responsibilities.
These are starting examples, not a recommendation for every website. Review the current plan limits and billing terms before ordering.
Swipe the table to compare the options.

Moving a WordPress site?
Tell us your website address, storage and email needs. We will check compatibility and recommend a plan before you order.
Check my WordPress migrationNeed root access?
Review VPS resources and discuss your operating system, applications and management needs. Choose RAM and storage for the workload you actually run.
Compare VPS resourcesDoes every WordPress site need a VPS?
No. Many WordPress websites can run on shared or WordPress hosting. Storage, traffic, plugins, background jobs and the control you need help determine the right fit. Ask us to assess an unusual or demanding setup.
Do I need to transfer my domain to move hosting?
You can keep the domain with its current registrar. For an existing domain, agree the migration and testing plan before changing DNS. Keep the old hosting active until the move has been checked.
What should I check before paying?
Check the plan limits, full billing period, total due, renewal terms and any selected options. The example monthly prices here do not include every possible configuration or tax. The plan pages and checkout show your selected terms.
Moving an existing website?
Start with a compatibility check.
Prepare your site, email and DNS requirements before the switch.
