All plans come with custom themes, 24\/7 customer support, and a free SSL certificate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Once a plan is selected, Bluehost automatically installs the latest and most secure version of WordPress for you, which automatically updates to keep your account secure.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Managed hosting<\/h4>\n<p>With marketing tools, daily backups, and significantly improved speed, <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/bluehost-WebHosting-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Bluehost&rsquo;s managed hosting plans<\/a> are capable of scaling to meet the needs of any growing business.<\/p>\n<p>Ranging in price from &pound;10.70 per month to &pound;35.76 per month for an initial term, Bluehost&rsquo;s managed plans come with a wealth of features. From advanced analytics and &lsquo;auto-scalability&rsquo; to SEO tools and PayPal integration, everything you need to build and grow a WordPress website or online store is right here.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>Affordable, full-featured, and with generous allowances, both Bluehost&rsquo;s shared and managed plans are a great choice for any business creating or migrating a WordPress website &ndash; and great value to boot.<\/p>\n<p>Whether a blog, a business site, or an online store, you&rsquo;re sure to find a Bluehost WordPress hosting solution for you. And with excellent uptime, you can be confident in premium reliability.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;A2Hosting &ndash; Best for affordability&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h2>A2Hosting &ndash; Best for affordability<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]Scoring top marks for its excellent help and support, A2Hosting also deserves commendation for its range of great value shared and managed WordPress hosting plans.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress is pre-installed on your A2Hosting account, so there&rsquo;s no need to download WordPress install files once you&rsquo;ve signed up for an account. And all A2 plans come pre-configured with the best technical settings for your WordPress site.<\/p>\n<h4>Shared hosting<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/a2hosting-WebHosting-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">A2Hosting&rsquo;s shared WordPress hosting <\/a>plans are reasonably-priced, full-featured, and generous in their allowances &ndash; and it offers four to choose from. A2Hosting&rsquo;s most advanced plan Turbo Max, promises &ldquo;5 times&rdquo; more resources than the preceding plan &ndash; a great option for websites that require maximum speed and performance.<\/p>\n<p>Like Bluehost, all advertised prices are for an initial 36-month term and exclude VAT.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Managed hosting<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/a2hosting-WebHosting-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">A2Hosting&rsquo;s managed WordPress hosting plans <\/a>trump Bluehost&rsquo;s for introductory prices, but thereafter are the more expensive option. It offers generous enough storage, though Bluehost offers twice as much on every comparable plan, and the promise of &ldquo;20x faster page loads than competing managed WordPress Web Hosting providers&rdquo; is certainly appealing &ndash; but impossible to verify independently.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at features, A2Hosting&rsquo;s managed plans come with everything you&rsquo;d hope for including automated backups, managed WordPress updates and 1-click site staging. However, it&rsquo;s hard not to notice that Bluehost is the more feature rich option. For example, A2Hosting only grants users a Jetpack Personal licence on all its managed plans, whereas Bluehost offers progressively more advanced Jetpack plans with each plan.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re after low introductory prices and excellent help and support, A2Hosting could be the WordPress hosting provider for you. It has the lowest first term monthly cost of any of the three shared and managed suppliers in our list, and the pre-configured WordPress settings are very helpful for newcomers. However, after those first three years, you should be aware that A2&rsquo;s renewal price is actually more expensive than its rivals&rsquo;, and uptime performance is middling.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Dreamhost &ndash; Best storage space&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h2>Dreamhost &ndash; Best storage space<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]Like Bluehost, Dreamhost is a recommended provider by WordPress.org. While its shared plans are limited, where Dreamhost really shines is its generously kitted out managed plans.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you&rsquo;re in need of help and support, don&rsquo;t hold your breath. Our researchers found the 24\/7 live chat support and knowledge base to be quite disappointing.<\/p>\n<h4>Shared hosting<\/h4>\n<p>Dreamhost offers just two sweet and simple <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/dreamhost-WebHosting-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">shared WordPress hosting<\/a> plans. They come with everything you&rsquo;d expect, including free SSL, free automated migrations, and unlimited bandwidth and storage.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to note is that, at &pound;4.32 per month for the Starter plan and &pound;7.93 per month for Unlimited, Dreamhost has the lowest renewal prices of any of our top shared and managed WordPress hosting providers.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Managed hosting<\/h4>\n<p>We&rsquo;re a big fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/dreamhost-WebHosting-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Dreamhost&rsquo;s managed WordPress hosting<\/a> offering. Its plans don&rsquo;t come with a first term discount, but they&rsquo;re competitively priced, and there&rsquo;s no danger of being caught unaware by a sudden vast cost increase upon renewal.<\/p>\n<p>Dreamhost is also very generous. Take storage: it offers a third more storage space than Bluehost on every managed plan, and for a comparable price. You also get unlimited email, on-demand back ups, and unlimited CDN. This basically means the content of your website is replicated to servers all over the world, limiting redundancy, and ensuring it loads as quickly as possible for all visitors, no matter where they are.<\/p>\n\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-best-wordpress-hosting-offering-managed-plans-only\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Best WordPress hosting offering managed plans only&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Best WordPress hosting offering managed plans only&rdquo;]\n<h2>Best WordPress hosting offering managed plans only<\/h2>\n<p>The following six hosting providers only provide managed WordPress hosting plans.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;HostGator &ndash; Best for customer service&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>HostGator &ndash; Best for customer service<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-143439\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/30094055\/HostGator-WordPress-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"HostGator WordPress screenshot\" width=\"640\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/30094055\/HostGator-WordPress-screenshot.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/30094055\/HostGator-WordPress-screenshot-480x253.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]Ranging in price from just &pound;4.29 per month to &pound;7.18 per month, <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/hostgator-WebHosting-webhosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">HostGator&rsquo;s managed WordPress hosting plans<\/a> are all simple and affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there&rsquo;s very little to distinguish between them. Every plan offers the same features, including a free domain, a free SSL, $150 Google Ads credit, and three free security solutions. The main difference is the monthly visitor allowance, and the number of sites each plan can support. But we actually like that HostGator doesn&rsquo;t reserve all the decent features for the more expensive plans.<\/p>\n<p>HostGator is also our uptime champion. While many providers boast a 99.9% uptime guarantee, HostGator&rsquo;s claim actually passed our researchers&rsquo; uptime test.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>Verifiably reliable uptime, stellar help and support, and a generous share of features across all plans make HostGator our top managed WordPress hosting provider.<\/p>\n<p>It might not be as feature-rich as some rivals &ndash; hence the average value for money score &ndash; but your WordPress website will certainly do well with a HostGator plan.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;InMotion &ndash; Best features&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h2>InMotion &ndash; Best features<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]InMotion is on the pricier end of our rundown of managed WordPress hosting providers, but you&rsquo;re getting a fair bit more for your money.<\/p>\n<p>Every plan comes with over 200,000 free themes, a drag-and-drop WordPress page builder, Google Apps integration, unlimited bandwidth and email, malware and hack protection, and much, much more besides. All for between &pound;5.04 and &pound;10.82 per month (for the first term), which makes it pretty great value for money.<\/p>\n<p>However, HostGator has much more generous visitor allowances when you compare plan to plan. You also have to factor in that InMotion&rsquo;s first term is only two years before you start paying the increased renewal price. This is unlike most providers, which tend to offer a three-year first term.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a hosting plan with a full arsenal of features to get your WordPress site up and running, look no further than InMotion. Even its most basic plan comes with a nice range of marketing and security features, and a generous storage allowance.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, uptime is above average, and InMotion&rsquo;s help and support is great. However, you might end up upgrading your plan sooner than you&rsquo;d like, as those visitor allowances just aren&rsquo;t as substantial as other providers&rsquo;.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Siteground &ndash; Best for reliability&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h2>Siteground &ndash; Best for reliability<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]<a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/siteground\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Siteground<\/a> offers three managed WordPress hosting plans, which are all reasonably full-featured, while its uptime performance puts it in the top three providers for system reliability. However, when you look at plan prices in comparison to other providers, they don&rsquo;t represent great value for money.<\/p>\n<p>Siteground is unique in that, while it does offer monthly, yearly, 24-month and 36-month billing cycle options, the best deal is to be found if you pay yearly, as this is the only one on which the first term discount is available.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that does make Siteground stand out is its 100% renewable energy match. Google Cloud, Siteground&rsquo;s main data centre partner, offsets 100% of its energy usage with renewable energy. As far as we can see, no other provider does this.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>As the only one of our top hosting providers to offset its energy usage with renewables, <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/siteground\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Siteground is to be highly commended<\/a>, and its uptime performance is great. However, in our opinion, this doesn&rsquo;t quite make up for its limitations. Those plan prices and billing cycles just aren&rsquo;t competitive, especially when you consider what you&rsquo;re getting for your money in comparison to other providers.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;GoDaddy &ndash; Best for ecommerce&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h2>GoDaddy &ndash; Best for ecommerce<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-143448\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/30102742\/GoDaddy-WordPress-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"GoDaddy WordPress screenshot\" width=\"640\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/30102742\/GoDaddy-WordPress-screenshot.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/30102742\/GoDaddy-WordPress-screenshot-480x253.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]GoDaddy has a decent range of four managed WordPress hosting plans, including one that&rsquo;s designed specially for ecommerce in partnership with WooCommerce.<\/p>\n<p>It offers all the features you&rsquo;d expect. Allowances are fairly generous &ndash; there&rsquo;s unlimited storage and visitors on its Ultimate and Ecommerce plans &ndash; and prices are reasonable at first glance. That said, taking everything into account, our researchers found GoDaddy to offer quite poor value for money, and the help and support available to be average at best.<\/p>\n<p>However, we would like to highlight the Ecommerce plan, as it&rsquo;s the only provider on this page that will suit businesses using WordPress to create an online store. And, well, it&rsquo;s pretty good, with no transaction fees, unlimited products, and free access to premium WooCommerce extensions.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>All in all, GoDaddy is a pretty average supplier. It offers enough features to please most WordPress users, uptime is fine, and help and support is okay but not great. The Ecommerce plan is a high point, and we think it&rsquo;s definitely worth your consideration if you&rsquo;re using WordPress to build an online store. But if value for money is your main concern, look elsewhere.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;iPage &ndash; Best for cheap plans (but at the cost of speed)&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h2>iPage &ndash; Best for cheap plans (but at the cost of speed)<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]iPage offers just two different managed WordPress plans. This keeps things simple, but it doesn&rsquo;t give businesses a great deal to choose from, and neither plan offers much in the way of features beyond what you&rsquo;d expect. Prices, however, are pretty competitive &ndash; although uptime performance is the worst of any provider tested by our researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Unusually for a hosting provider, iPage&lsquo;s prices don&rsquo;t decrease the longer the billing cycle you choose for the initial term, but the renewal prices <em>are<\/em> cheaper the longer your billing cycle. But strangely, paying monthly is the cheapest option on the Essential plan. Confusing, we know&hellip;<\/p>\n\n<h4>Verdict<\/h4>\n<p>While iPage&rsquo;s two plans might be simple, you run the risk of overpaying for things you don&rsquo;t need, or not having the flexibility to upgrade as you grow. However, as WordPress hosting providers go, iPage is pretty good value, and the help and support is useful.<\/p>\n<p>Where iPage lets itself down is on its range of features, and on uptime. Our researchers scored it a disappointing 2\/5 for its uptime performance.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-shared-vs-managed-wordpress-hosting-whats-the-difference\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Shared vs managed WordPress hosting: What&rsquo;s the difference?&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Shared vs managed WordPress hosting: What&rsquo;s the difference?&rdquo;]\n<h2>Shared vs managed WordPress hosting: What&rsquo;s the difference?<\/h2>\n<p>The key difference between shared WordPress hosting and managed WordPress hosting is that, on a shared plan, <strong>your website shares space with other websites<\/strong> on the same server.

provider from one to five based on five key areas of investigation: types of WordPress plan, help and support, WordPress specific features, value for money, and uptime.<\/p>\n<h4>Range of plans<\/h4>\n<p>The higher the number of different plans a supplier offered, the higher the score.<\/p>\n<h4>Help and support<\/h4>\n<p>Providers were rated on the range of help and support on offer (e.g. phone, email, live chat), their ability to deal with WordPress-related queries, and the usefulness of their knowledge centres.<\/p>\n<h4>Features<\/h4>\n<p>The more WordPress tools, features, and optimisations a provider had, and the more effective those were in a practical assessment, the higher the score.<\/p>\n<h4>Value for money<\/h4>\n<p>We considered the quality of each provider&rsquo;s offering &ndash; including its features, help and support, and uptime &ndash; against the cost of its plans.<\/p>\n<h4>Uptime<\/h4>\n<p>A measure of server reliability. Many providers claim to have 99.9% uptime, but they don&rsquo;t all in practice. We put each to the test, and scored them higher the closer they were to that ideal percentage.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-why-do-you-need-a-wordpress-specific-hosting-plan\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Why do you need a WordPress-specific hosting plan?&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Why do you need a WordPress-specific hosting plan?&rdquo;]\n<h2>Why do you need a WordPress-specific hosting plan?<\/h2>\n<p>Theoretically, there&rsquo;s no reason why you can&rsquo;t use a standard hosting plan for your WordPress website.
