How we compiled this
Self-serve USD pricing collected from each vendor's official pricing page where accessible (accessed 2026-06-15). WP Engine: wpengine.com/plans/ fetched directly — all prices are first-year promotional rates on annual billing; renewal prices not disclosed on page. Kinsta: kinsta.com/wordpress-hosting/plans/ fetched directly — monthly prices reflect annual billing (divide annual total by 12); first-month-free promo on entry plan noted separately. Flywheel: getflywheel.com/pricing/ fetched directly — monthly prices are month-to-month rates; annual billing = 2 free months (~16.67% off). Cloudways: cloudways.com/en/pricing.php fetched directly — two distinct products: Flexible (server-level, pay-as-you-go) and Autonomous (fully managed WordPress, flat monthly). Pressable: pressable.com/pricing/ fetched directly — monthly prices are the annualized effective rate (annual plan price / 12); month-to-month rates slightly higher; annual billing = 2 free months (~16.67% off). Rocket.net: rocket.net/pricing/ fetched directly — monthly prices are month-to-month; annual = 2 months free. SiteGround: siteground.com consistently geo-redirects to de.siteground.com returning EUR-only prices (verified 2026-06-15, HTTP 302). StartUp $2.99 intro confirmed across multiple independent 2026 sources (tooltester.com, cybernews.com). GrowBig and GoGeek USD intro prices set null: independent sources disagree ($4.99-5.49 / $7.99-8.49) and none matched the prior fallback figures ($6.99 / $10.79), so no USD figure could be responsibly asserted (null-beats-a-guess). Introductory prices are for the 12-month initial term; renewal rates are significantly higher. Nexcess: all official nexcess.net pages returned HTTP 403; no third-party review site could supply verified per-tier plan names and USD prices — vendor omitted entirely per null-beats-a-guess policy. Cloudways Flexible listed as one representative entry plan only since it is a usage-metered server product. minutesIncluded/callsIncluded/overagePerMin/overagePerCall = null on all plans (non-telephony vertical). hipaa/baa/bilingual null unless explicitly stated on official pricing page. annualDiscountPct set only when both monthly and annual rates were published.
