After months of work behind the scenes, we are excited to share lots of changes that are happening to HostWP.io. Web design trends have shifted, with dark mode becoming more common, so we rebuilt our website with a modern dark theme, that’s not all, we have made many changes to our pricing plans, that will make .
New HostWP.io Website
The new site is built from the ground up with Bricks Builder, our favorite page builder for both our own projects and client websites. The new website represents our brand in a playful yet professional way and highlights the experience of our team of designers, marketers and developers.
Our promise to customers remains the same: to provide transparent pricing and make managed LiteSpeed Enterprise hosting affordable for bloggers, individuals, e-commerce stores, membership sites, and enterprise projects.
Existing customers will automatically benefit from the new, lower pricing on current plans. Unlike many hosting companies that raise prices or limit features, we are committed to fair pricing. As a fully bootstrapped company, we have the flexibility to make these decisions, and our customers enjoy the rewards.
Meet the Fresh Look of HostWP.io
Should we call it HostWP 2.0? Maybe, but we’ll let our customers decide.
The redesigned site reflects our team’s creativity and years of experience. We made it easier to browse through our technology stack, features, services, and the people behind HostWP. It is optimized for high performance and scores well on accessibility metrics. We will keep improving, so expect more updates over time.
Managed LiteSpeed Enterprise Hosting for All, Now at Lower Prices
In the past, we have worked with large hosting companies and noticed a pattern: as they grow or are acquired, prices rise, often at the expense of loyal customers. Renewal rates increase, and long-time users rarely keep their original pricing.
At HostWP.io, we are changing that. We guarantee existing customers will keep their original rates for life.
Starting today, we have lowered prices for several plans, especially the Business and Agency plans.
To celebrate the new website launch, we are offering an additional 30% off for a limited time. Customers who take advantage of this promotion will keep these discounted rates for life.

Introducing Enterprise Hosting with Direct Support
We are expanding our services to larger WordPress websites that need high performance and can handle heavy traffic.
We have tested our LiteSpeed Enterprise servers with large WooCommerce and membership or LMS sites and confirmed that even resource-intensive websites run smoothly.
Enterprise plans begin with a direct consultation between our experts and the customer. We assess needs and propose the right setup, whether that means a dedicated VPS, a cloud server, or a cluster with load balancers. Our team manages the entire setup. Enterprise customers also receive access to a private Discord channel for direct communication with our WordPress hosting professionals.
New Features This Year
We keep our servers updated with the latest software and powerful hardware. Efficiency is key to reducing energy use and keeping hosting costs low for our customers. As a managed hosting provider, we see this as an essential responsibility.
New Feature: Dedicated IPs
For an extra $10 per month, customers can host their sites on a dedicated IP. Current server locations include the US East Coast (Virginia) and the European Union (Germany). When you order a dedicated IP, you receive an exclusive address.
New PHP Versions and Multi-PHP Selector
When new versions of PHP are released, we add them to our platform promptly. Customers can choose the PHP version for each site, giving them full control.
Redis Object Cache on All Plans
Redis is an important part of our hosting stack to optimize the performance of database-intensive websites. Many WordPress designers and developers use page builders and plugins that create heavy database activity. Redis significantly reduces database overhead. The pro version of Redis Object Cache is included in every plan at no extra cost.
Looking Ahead
Our goal is to make WordPress hosting simpler and more efficient. We plan to expand into new regions, add data centers, introduce new features, and adopt new technologies. We will also build systems that make it easier for customers to host on dedicated VPS or cloud servers.
As a bootstrapped company, we can move quickly and focus entirely on providing the best WordPress hosting experience. Our support team is 100% human and ready to help with any WordPress hosting and optimization needs.
