What is WordPress hosting?
WordPress hosting is hosting optimized specifically for WordPress websites, with WordPress pre-installed, faster load times, and security built around how WordPress works.
How much does WordPress hosting cost?
Hostking's WordPress hosting starts at €2/mo on a 1-year term, powered by LiteSpeed for faster load times.
Can I upgrade my WordPress hosting plan?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your WordPress hosting plan as needed.
Can you migrate my existing WordPress site?
Yes, and it's free. Our team moves your WordPress files, database and email across, and we plan every migration to avoid downtime.
Do I get a free website design with WordPress hosting?
Yes. Every plan includes the AI website builder, so you don't have to build it yourself, and on Website Care a designer perfects it.
Can I add more WordPress installations to an existing plan?
No, you cannot add more WordPress installations to any plan. The number of WordPress installations will remain fixed.
Can I use an external email service with WordPress hosting?
Yes, you can use any 3rd party email service for your domain. In case you are using the default name servers provided with WordPress hosting, please contact our Support team to update the relevant DNS records for your blog.
Can I use an existing certificate with my blog?
No, you cannot use an existing certificate. You will need to generate a CSR from the WordPress hosting panel and get a certificate issued which can be installed from the panel.
Will WordPress be updated automatically?
Yes, WordPress core updates will be enabled by default.
Is WordPress hosting different from regular web hosting?
Yes — WordPress hosting includes auto-updates, LiteSpeed caching, and security features built specifically for WordPress, which standard shared hosting doesn't optimize for.
Can I install WordPress automatically?
Yes, every plan includes 1-click WordPress installation, so your site is ready to use as soon as you sign up.
Is there a money back period for WordPress hosting?
Yes, we offer a 100% risk-free, 30-day money-back guarantee on WordPress hosting plans.
Is Multisite supported with WordPress hosting?
No, Multisite is not supported.
Can I access the cPanel for my hosting plan?
WordPress hosting uses DirectAdmin rather than cPanel. DirectAdmin gives you access to manage your website, domains, email, databases and hosting settings from one control panel.
Do you offer SSH access?
Yes, SSH access is provided to your domain. Root access is not available in this shared environment, but you have sufficient rights to manage your files.
Is an SSL Certificate included with the plan?
Yes. When you purchase a WordPress hosting order, Free SSL powered by Let's Encrypt, is automatically generated and installed for all domains associated with the package
Why is the renewal price higher than the first year?
The first-year price is a promotional rate for paying annually up front. The renewal is our standard catalogue price, and we print it on every plan card rather than hiding it in the terms, so there are no surprises in year two.
