Choose the resources for your WordPress site
Each configuration hosts one site. Start with a preset or set the size yourself, then review your resources, billing term and total before you pay.
How would you like to be billed?
Charged every month. Cancel renewal anytime; hosting continues until the end of your paid period.

How to choose a size
Starting points, not limits. Every Pressy runs the same software, and memory, CPU and storage each move on their own. Ask for a bigger size on any day and it applies once the prorated payment goes through; ask for a smaller one and it takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. Either way, the review screen shows the price and the date before you confirm.
- PressyLite
- Pages, a blog, a contact form and a handful of plugins doing ordinary work.
- PressyPlus
- A business site where forms, a booking or membership plugin and a page builder are all doing something.
- PressyMax
- A catalogue with checkout, on-site search, or plugins that run work in the background.
- PressyUltra
- The same again with more of it: longer plugin lists and scheduled imports.

Domain registration and renewal are separate purchases. Moving an existing site here is arranged separately, and hosting comes first. How moving a site works

Memory at 1, 2, 3, 4 GB, 1 to 4 vCPU at €7.00/month each, and storage in 5 GB steps at €1.00 each, up to 80 GB per Pressy. Change any of the three on any day, and pay for the days you use.

Change any of the three on any day: upgrades pro-rated to the day, downgrades at the end of the period.

| Disk IOPSReads and writes a second. WordPress spends most of its disk time on a great many small operations rather than a few big ones, so this is usually the figure that decides whether a busy site still feels quick. | 2,048/s | 4,096/s | 6,144/s | 8,192/s |
| Disk throughputHow fast large files move — media uploads, a backup being written, a migration coming in. | 12 MB/s | 20 MB/s | 30 MB/s | 40 MB/s |
| ProcessesHow many things your site can do at once: PHP requests being served, plus cron, SSH and anything you run with WP-CLI. | 60 | 90 | 120 | 150 |
| FilesEvery file and folder on the disk counts as one, WordPress core and your plugins included. It rises with the storage you buy, at 20,000 for each GB, so adding disk adds files to match. | 200,000 | 500,000 | 800,000 | 1,100,000 |

The first two columns are typical published list prices for those categories, not a claim about any one host.
Domains too, with the renewal printed beside every price.
No intro pricing
The price on the card is the price at checkout, VAT included, and the price your Pressy renews at. Changing its size or billing term changes it, shown before you confirm; a promotion code lasts as long as its own terms say. Yearly billing takes two months off.
Cancel in two clicks
No phone call, no retention offer. It runs to the end of the period, and your backups stay yours.
30-day money back
Request it from your billing screen. Eligible refunds go back to the card you paid with.
Restores are free
Restore as often as you like, and download a full copy of your site at any time.
What exactly is a Pressy?
A WordPress site we host, back up weekly and keep updated. One Pressy, one site, one address. No shared cPanel, no upsell for SSL.
Can I really pick my own memory, CPU and storage?
Yes, and you can change any of the three at any time. Changes apply within a minute and we only charge for the days you use. No upgrade tier that forces storage you don't need just to get a second vCPU.
Do you sell domains or mailboxes?
Domains, yes. Every price is shown with its renewal beside it and includes VAT, and the transfer code is one click away if you ever want to leave. Mailboxes, no. Email hosting is where cheap hosting goes wrong, so we leave it to people who do it well.
What happens if an update breaks my site?
We switch on WordPress' own security releases when your Pressy is built, and back up every paid Pressy weekly. Before you change anything, take a manual backup, one click and free to restore, or try it on staging first.
Can I bring a site I already have?
Yes. You get FTPS and database access from the first minute, and you can make a staging copy on any Pressy, so the site can land there rather than on your live address. Check it working at its own URL, then push it live yourself.
Still deciding?
A pressy.site address and HTTPS from the first minute. No setup fee, no contract.
