What you’re paying for
- WordPress-only infrastructure, tuned for performance rather than a general-purpose server.
- Staging environments and a CDN included in every plan.
- Specialist support focused on WordPress.
Is it worth the price?
| If you… | Then… |
|---|---|
| Run a hobby blog with light traffic | The price probably isn’t worth it yet: start with SiteGround |
| Manage a business site with real traffic | The SLA and support usually pay for themselves (Business) |
| Run an agency managing client sites | Staging, migrations and support justify the cost at scale |
