*📜 Plan description
The START plan is the entry level option for a single WordPress website that still runs on isolated resources instead of generic mass hosting. It provides 2 vCPUs based on AMD EPYC, 2 GB RAM and from 5 GB of fast NVMe SSD storage reserved for one installation, which is sufficient for smaller company sites, blogs or landing pages with moderate traffic. Traffic is unmetered and the PHP limits and process counts are tuned so that the back end remains responsive even when several plugins, visual builders and image heavy pages are used. E mail inboxes can be booked as optional add ons, or the domain can remain with an existing registrar while HostPress handles DNS, SSL and redirects during the free migration service. Billing starts at 11 EUR per month for the first twelve months when paid annually, after that the regular price with annual payment is 22 EUR per month or 29 EUR per month when choosing a cancellable month to month contract. There is no setup fee, the minimum term can be either one month or twelve months and upgrades to higher single plans or to the Managed Cloud Server line are possible at any time without downtime.
All single WordPress hosting plans at HostPress are built on a fully managed stack that is optimised purely for WordPress. The platform runs on modern AMD EPYC servers with NVMe storage in certified German data centres, uses CloudLinux to isolate accounts and is designed for 99.99 percent availability according to the provider's own monitoring. Every plan includes at least two daily geo redundant backups, a web application firewall and Imunify360 malware protection, X Ray performance analysis, uptime monitoring and RocketCache plus a WP Rocket licence for aggressive page caching. Free SSL certificates, HTTP2 and CDN integration are part of the base package so that sites are ready for search engines and international visitors. Domains and e mail inboxes can be added flexibly as addons, and a free migration service moves sites, mailboxes and domains from the previous provider while also checking PageSpeed scores and fixing typical configuration issues. Management is handled via Plesk and backed by German speaking support that can be reached by phone, e mail, live chat and ticket system, with typical response times of only a few minutes, a 30 day money back guarantee and infrastructure powered entirely by green electricity.

📄 Editorial Review
HostPress is a German, owner-managed specialist for managed WordPress and WooCommerce hosting. The company operates as HostPress GmbH, based in Eppelborn (Saarland), and is led by founder and managing director Marcus Krämer. The idea for HostPress emerged in 2015, the first managed WordPress products went live in 2016, and since then the business has grown into a focused team that looks after several thousand WordPress sites every day. The whole setup feels much closer to a boutique performance host than to a mass-market shared hosting provider.The entire product portfolio revolves around WordPress: there are no generic cPanel shared hosting packages or unmanaged VPS. Instead, everything is built as managed WordPress hosting with a strong emphasis on speed, security, and personal support. The main product lines are:
- Single WordPress Hosting – START, PLUS and MAX
These plans are aimed at one WordPress installation per account, from smaller blogs and company sites up to demanding projects and WooCommerce stores. Each plan runs on AMD EPYC CPUs with dedicated vCPUs, NVMe SSD storage, and a WordPress-optimized stack (NGINX/Apache, PHP 8.x, MariaDB). Even the entry plan includes free SSL, daily backups (stored geo-redundantly in two data centers), Imunify360 protection, uptime monitoring, WP Rocket license, Redis caching, CDN integration on request, and a migration service for one WordPress site. Bigger plans add more vCPUs, RAM and NVMe space, as well as included mailboxes and higher capacity for traffic and mail. - Multi WordPress Hosting – TEAM, FREELANCER and larger agency tiers
These tariffs target freelancers, agencies and businesses running several websites. The TEAM plan starts with three managed WordPress instances, the FREELANCER plan with six, and higher tiers go up to twelve installations per account. The hardware is again AMD EPYC with NVMe SSD, but with more generous resources and mailboxes. Features include multisite support, staging environments, daily backups, SSL, Imunify360, WP Rocket, uptime monitoring and a free relocation service for all included sites. This range is particularly attractive for agencies that want to centralise management and offload performance tuning and security. - Managed Cloud Server – QUAD, OCTA, ULTRA, GIGA, EPYC POWER and FLEX POWER
For high-traffic sites, agencies with many clients, or projects that need more isolation, HostPress offers managed cloud servers. These are powerful virtual instances with between 4 and 48 vCPUs, up to 128 GB RAM and hundreds of gigabytes of NVMe SSD storage. The servers run a fully managed WordPress platform with Plesk, WordPress Toolkit, staging, cloning/sync, Git, WP-CLI and automated backups (twice daily). A relocation service for up to 10 WordPress sites is included, and the number of installations and mailboxes is effectively unlimited within the resources of the chosen plan. These tariffs feel very close to a managed VPS/dedicated solution, but remain clearly WordPress-centric rather than generic IaaS.
Beyond the core hosting, HostPress also offers:
- Domains & E-Mails – domain registration with DNS management, SSL support and mailboxes (Roundcube webmail, secure SMTP/IMAP, spam and virus filters, greylisting, blacklist checks).
- Update Service – a paid managed update add-on for WordPress core, themes and plugins, aimed at customers who want to completely hand off maintenance.
- Hosting Add-ons & Managed Services – emergency support, premium migrations, emergency restore from backup, malware cleaning with its own money-back guarantee, and white-label options for agencies.
- Free development and trial options – free development environments, a free test migration and a speedtest tool to benchmark an existing installation.
Technically, the platform is quite advanced for a WordPress-only host: PHP 8.x (with the option to run older versions where necessary), HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, NGINX in front of Apache, RocketCache (their own caching approach based on NGINX plus a WP Rocket license), OPcache, Redis, Git, WP-CLI, and a staging/sync system that fits WordPress workflows. Security is treated as a first-class concern, with a web application firewall, brute-force protection, malware scanning, Layer-7 DDoS protection and automated backup/restore procedures.
Overall, HostPress comes across as a technically strong, niche provider for WordPress projects where performance and managed support matter more than having dozens of different hosting product types. It is clearly aimed at professional users, agencies and serious site owners rather than bargain hunters looking for the cheapest possible shared hosting.
