What each part costs
Every plan above is these three numbers added up. Move any one of them, on any day.
That is the entire price list. No setup fee, no renewal increase, and nothing else is metered.
Prices include VAT where applicable.
None of these the right shape? Build your own.
Memory at 1, 2, 3, 4 GB, 1 to 4 vCPU at €6.50/month each, and storage in 5 GB steps at €1.00 each, up to 80 GB per Pressy. Change any of the three at any time — we charge for the days you use.

Unmetered and no-limits items are governed by our fair-usage policy
Every figure here is for one website — the only site on that Pressy
Pay for three numbers, not somebody else's tier
Most hosts make you buy a whole tier of storage to get one more vCPU. Set the three numbers that decide what your site can do, and watch the price move.

Included at every size
HTTPS on every domain · weekly backups kept 30 days · staging · unmetered bandwidth · SSH, SFTP and WP-CLI · cron · Redis · Node.js apps
Change any of the three on any day: upgrades pro-rated to the day, downgrades at the end of the period.
Who a Pressy is for
Our products and services are opinionated, which is a nice way of saying it may not be for you, and we want to be open about it so you don't waste your money.
You want to build WordPress sites, not learn random panels
Freelancers, designers, small agencies, and business owners who work with WordPress, and individuals learning WordPress. You want to focus on building and deploying WordPress, not spend ages mastering cPanel.
You build and look after one to 10 client sites
Each one isolated, each one its own bill, each one resizable without touching the other nine. SSH, WP-CLI and staging on all of them, without a cloud-platform onboarding call or a per-seat conversation.
And who it isn't for
Three kinds of person will be happier somewhere else. We would rather say so here than take the money and find out together.
You want email and a domain on the same invoice
We sell neither. Buy them from people who do them properly and cheaper. If a host goes down, losing your DNS and mailbox with it turns an outage into a catastrophe.
You're running something that isn't WordPress
A Pressy is built for one job and does not pretend to be a VPS. Node.js apps run alongside WordPress here, but WordPress is the point of the container.
Your first question is how many sites you get
Our plans are for one Pressy only. You may have multiple Pressies, but one Pressy is one site, with resources nobody else is using. If what you want is twenty sites sharing one pool, PressyPress is not for you.
You don't need more. You need better.
The isolation and panel quality of premium managed hosting, at a price that starts where budget hosting actually renews, with a focus on WordPress few of our competitors can compete with.

The first two columns are typical published list prices for those categories, not a claim about any one host. Check yours. That's rather the point.
Transparent pricing
When we say it starts at 8€/month, we actually mean it even though we could say 6€ because you get 2 months free on all yearly plans.
Cancel in two clicks
No phone call, no retention offer. It runs to the end of the period and we don't lock your backups when you do it.
30-day money back
Send eligible refund requests from a button your billing dashboard. Life is too hard to send emails to get what's rightfully yours.
Restores are free
Restore as often as you like. We don't charge you to get your own site back. Download a copy of your websites at any time. Be free.
Billing questions
Anything about invoices, VAT or moving between sizes: ask before you buy, not after.
Talk to us firstWhat 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.
Is MiniPressy really free, or free-for-30-days free?
Free while it fits, once it ships. One Pressy at a fixed size, 512 MB memory and 1 GB storage, with your own domain and HTTPS. No backups, and it can't be resized: outgrow it and you move up to a paid size, site and all.
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?
Neither, on purpose. Buy your domain wherever you like and point it here in about two minutes. 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 SFTP and database access from the first minute, and every paid Pressy has a staging site, so the copy can land there rather than on your live address. You look at the whole thing working at its own URL and push it live yourself, which is the part that should always be yours.
Still deciding?
Every Pressy gets a free pressy.site address and HTTPS from the first minute, reachable before your domain is. No setup fee, no contract, and the size is yours to change.
