📄 Editorial Review

WPHost.me is a Ukrainian hosting provider established in 2010, with a strong specialization in WordPress and other popular content management systems. The project was founded by Dmytro Kondriuk, who has worked in the web industry since 2003, launched the Ukrainian WordPress project in 2009, and later became founder and technical director of WPHost.me. The company operates with a relatively small team and focuses on hosting, managed website infrastructure, virtual servers, email, domains, and DNS services.

The business operates in Ukraine through individual entrepreneurs Dmytro Serhiiovych Kondriuk, EDRPOU 3014319256, and Serhii Hryhorovych Svyrydenko, EDRPOU 3111504392. This structure allows them to work with private customers as well as companies, state organizations, municipalities, and other Ukrainian budget-funded institutions.

The service portfolio includes WordPress Hosting, CMS Hosting, Shared Hosting, Low-cost Hosting, Developer Hosting, KVM VPS, ARM Servers, Domain Registration, Corporate Email, GOV.UA Email, KСЗІ-protected Email, Anycast DNS and Free Hosting for nonprofit projects. Their strongest area remains WordPress, although the range now covers considerably more than conventional website hosting.

WordPress Hosting combines NVMe/SSD storage, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux account isolation, MariaDB/MySQL, multiple PHP versions, automatic SSL certificates, daily backups, WordPress installation and management tools, caching, cloning, and updates. Traffic and database usage are generally unrestricted, while CPU, RAM, PHP memory, inode limits, and concurrent processes depend on the selected plan.

The WordPress range begins with smaller packages intended for one or several websites and extends into PRO plans with substantially higher PHP and system-memory limits. Current configurations include approximately 3 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB, 25 GB, and 30 GB of storage. Developer features can include SSH, Git, Composer, WP-CLI, cron jobs, staging environments, and remote database access, with some advanced tools reserved for higher-level plans.

CMS Hosting supports Joomla, OpenCart, Drupal, WordPress, and other common PHP applications. Joomla, OpenCart, Drupal, and WordPress receive dedicated installation and optimization options, making this suitable for customers who want a managed shared-hosting environment without being restricted to a single CMS.

Shared Hosting is a more general PHP hosting service using NVMe/SSD storage, LiteSpeed, modern PHP releases, MariaDB, free SSL, antivirus and antispam protection, cron jobs, unrestricted traffic, and database support. A website-building environment with more than 100 responsive templates is also available. This makes the service suitable for small business sites, landing pages, personal projects, and conventional PHP applications.

A separate Low-cost Hosting range targets lightweight PHP and HTML websites, test installations, simple projects, and customers with modest resource requirements. Resource limits are clearly separated by plan, including CPU, memory, inode, and process allowances.

Developer Hosting is intended for agencies, programmers, and customers maintaining more demanding WordPress installations. It provides a more development-oriented environment with SSH, Git, Composer, and WP-CLI, together with SSD storage, SSL, migration assistance, and backup facilities.

The VPS Hosting platform uses KVM virtualization and provides guaranteed CPU, RAM, and NVMe resources, unrestricted traffic, and network connectivity of up to 1 Gbit/s. Supported Linux distributions include Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and CentOS-related environments. Root access gives customers full administrative control.

The VPS range includes shared-core and dedicated-core AMD configurations. Shared-core packages currently begin with 4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, and 65 GB NVMe, followed by larger 6-core/12 GB and 8-core/24 GB options. Dedicated-core plans start with 4 cores, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB of storage and scale to configurations with 12 cores, 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB. Depending on the server class, the underlying hardware uses Intel Xeon E5 or AMD EPYC 700x processors.

A separate ARM Server service uses ARMv8/AArch64 processors and supports Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04. Available configurations begin around 6 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, and 200 GB storage and extend to 16 cores, 48 GB RAM, and 1.5 TB. This is useful for Linux applications already compatible with ARM architecture.

VPS backup management differs from ordinary shared hosting. Automatic VPS backups are not included by default, so customers must configure backups themselves through the installed software or control panel. Basic server administration is included, while additional administration can be purchased separately.

Domain Registration covers Ukrainian and international domain extensions, including .com, .net, Ukrainian national zones, and numerous regional domains. DNS records can be managed through the customer account. Some annual hosting packages include eligible domain registration or transfer for the first year.

The Corporate Email platform runs on servers in Ukraine and supports IMAP, POP3, SMTP, encrypted connections, browser-based webmail, antivirus protection, antispam filtering, blacklist monitoring, migration assistance, and optional dedicated IP addresses. Mail is backed up daily to separate servers. Storage capacity increases with the number of purchased mailboxes.

WPHost also has a specialized GOV.UA Email service for Ukrainian government institutions, local authorities, and organizations using .gov.ua domains. The service includes administrative and accounting documentation suitable for Ukrainian Treasury purchasing procedures, together with antivirus, antispam, migration assistance, and backup functionality. Customers from 18 regions of Ukraine use this type of service.

A higher-security KСЗІ Email option is available for government bodies, councils, municipalities, and budget organizations requiring infrastructure operating within a Comprehensive Information Protection System environment. This gives WPHost an unusual specialization compared with standard shared-hosting providers.

Anycast DNS provides geographically distributed DNS resolution across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, and Oceania. The network includes locations in more than 30 countries, including Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Bulgaria, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, India, Hong Kong, South Africa, and the UAE. The service is currently intended for customers who also use WPHost hosting.

The company also offers Free WordPress Hosting for approved nonprofit and public-interest projects. Eligible organizations can include charities, schools, universities, educational initiatives, scientific projects, and social projects. Approved applicants receive six months of free hosting, including SSL, backup features, and technical support. Commercial advertising, spam, and commercial link-exchange schemes are prohibited under this program.

A separate 30-day free hosting trial is available for ordinary customers. The trial uses the normal hosting environment, allowing WordPress, website performance, and the hosting control interface to be tested before payment.

The website is available in Ukrainian and Russian. An English-language version does not exist, which makes the service less convenient for customers who do not understand either supported language.
