WEBMAILER ONE AND ONE PRO
If you're more interested in features than price, check out Bluehost's WP Pro plans (yes, they do have the same name).
WEBMAILER ONE AND ONE FULL
To begin to get the full speed benefits you'll need the Advanced WP Pro plan, priced from $40 a month on the annual plan ($48 billed monthly.) But this is fair value for what you're getting, and overall IONOS WP Pro is worth a look for business users or anyone with large or high-traffic sites.

There are automatic and manual backups, smarter automatic updates to reduce the chance of a buggy security patch breaking your site, and the ability to website changes before you put them live.Īll this power comes at a cost. IONOS says extra server resources deliver a 300% speed increase overall. The IONOS WP Pro range is aimed at business users or anyone who needs more features and speed. If you're looking to master WordPress, you're only building small or simple sites, and speeds really don't matter, getting a year of the Business plan for $6 is an amazing deal. There's nothing outstanding here, but these plans do give you fractionally more WordPress functionality for the same price, and that works for us.

WordPress-specific additions include the WP Assistant to build a simple initial site for you, automated WordPress updates, and free themes (pre-built website designs), perhaps handy if you'd like to give your site a new look and feel. There's also one significant downgrade: the shared hosting plans support unlimited websites, but you can only have one managed WordPress project. All plans include scanning for malware, and the top plan can remove any threats it finds. Improved email support means the mid-range plan supports five email addresses, the top plan has ten. IONOS Managed WordPress hosting (opens in new tab) plans are priced almost identically to the shared range (special offer of $0.50 a month for the mid-range plan, $3 to $8 a month for the other plans, $6 to $8 on renewal), and the main features are similar: free domain, free SSL, still no free migration, but you do get daily backups. WordPress is a hugely popular website creation tool which can be used to create anything from a simple personal site, to a huge and feature-packed international web store.

WordPress plans range from seriously cheap to very powerful (Image credit: IONOS) IONOS WordPress hosting Or if it's speed you're after, A2 Hosting (opens in new tab) and InMotion Hosting go beyond the basics with plenty of advanced performance-boosting tech. If the email is an issue but value is important, also consider Hostinger (opens in new tab) and HostGator for their low starter prices, extended email abilities and lengthy feature lists. IONOS shared hosting could still be a decent choice if you can live with just one email account. Our tests found IONOS Business plan has below average performance, too (more on that, later). It's a good one (2GB inbox, spam filtering), but that's no help if you need more. On the down side, IONOS doesn't offer free migration to help import your site from a previous host, and all the plans give you just one email account. The highest Expert plan adds even more resources, throws in SiteScan malware protection, a Content Delivery Network ( CDN (opens in new tab)) and analytics to monitor your website traffic, yet it's still only $8 a month in year one, $16 on renewal. The mid-range Business plan ramps up speeds by adding more resources, supports unlimited websites, and - thanks to a spectacular introductory offer - is only $0.50 a month for year one, $10 a month after that. The single site starter plan is reasonably priced at $4 a month in year one, $6 on renewal. The highlights: every plan has free SSL, a free domain, free daily backups and easy WordPress installation. But a good shared hosting package has more than enough power for most low-traffic blogs, personal and small business sites. With many sites sharing the same CPU, RAM and network connection, performance may be poor. It's cheap, because server costs are shared between all the accounts.
