WordPress hosting here is what each host sells on its WordPress hosting page: its WordPress and managed WordPress plans, and the web hosting plans that page sells, under the name it uses (read on October 6, 2026, and ScalaHosting's on October 7, 2026). Each total is the cheapest plan and term for the period, renewals included, before tax and without a domain. Hostwinds publishes no renewal price, so only its first year is priced.
