This guide is for small businesses and freelancers choosing hosting for a WordPress business site or a WooCommerce store. We compare SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine and Cloudways on what you pay in year one and year two, what is included, and where the limits sit. Prices are in US dollars, the currency these hosts list by default, unless marked otherwise. If you are in Canada, the WordPress hosting in Canada section covers which hosts have Canadian data centres, which bill in Canadian dollars, Quebec's privacy rules, and options for Alberta and the West.
How we evaluated
This is a research-based review. We did not host sites with these companies. We compared them using each host's pricing pages, plan comparison tables, FAQs and help documentation.
We scored each host on:
- First-year cost: the entry plan's price, the billing term needed to get it, and any prepayment
- Renewal cost: what the same plan costs once any introductory offer ends
- What's included: backups and how long they are kept, staging, CDN, malware removal, and email mailboxes
- Limits: sites, visits or bandwidth, storage, and what happens when you go over
- Support: channels and hours
- Guarantee or trial: money-back period or free trial, as stated by the host
All prices were checked in September 2026, are entry or near-entry plans, and exclude sales tax. Hosting prices change often, so confirm the price and term at checkout.

What you pay in year one vs year two
The headline price is often an introductory rate. This table shows each entry plan's cost for the first 12 months and for the next 12 months, based on what each host publishes.
| Host and plan | Year 1 | Year 2 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiteGround StartUp | $35.88 ($2.99/mo, prepaid) | $215.88 ($17.99/mo) | Intro price requires a 12-month prepay |
| SiteGround GrowBig | $59.88 ($4.99/mo, prepaid) | $359.88 ($29.99/mo) | Adds staging and on-demand backups |
| Kinsta single site, annual | $350 | $350 | No separate renewal price shown |
| Kinsta single site, monthly | $385 (first month free) | $420 ($35/mo) | First month free for new customers on select plans |
| WP Engine Essential, annual | $336 | Not published | $336 is first-year pricing for new customers |
| WP Engine Essential, monthly | $420 ($35/mo) | $420 ($35/mo) | WP Engine says renewal pricing is subject to change |
| Cloudways DigitalOcean Micro (Standard) | $132 ($11/mo) | $132 ($11/mo) | Before paid add-ons and backup storage; Cloudways recommends 2GB for live sites |
Our year totals are simple multiplication of the published prices, before tax. Kinsta's first-month-free offer and WP Engine's annual offer apply to new customers only.
What managed WordPress hosting includes
Managed WordPress hosting means the host looks after the technical side of running WordPress, so you can focus on the site itself. Across the plans in this guide, that covers:
- Updates: WP Engine lists WordPress, PHP and MySQL as "managed for you" on Essential, and Web Hosting Canada says it updates WordPress automatically when security updates are available.
- Backups: automatic backups on every host here, kept for up to 30 days on SiteGround, 14 days on Kinsta's entry plan and 30 to 60 days on WP Engine.
- Staging: a copy of your site for testing changes, included on Kinsta, WP Engine and Cloudways, and on SiteGround from GrowBig.
- Caching and a CDN: included on SiteGround, Kinsta and WP Engine; Cloudways offers Cloudflare Enterprise as an add-on.
- Security: Kinsta includes a managed firewall and malware removal, WP Engine includes security patching and plugin risk scans, and Cloudways includes the Imunify360 server firewall.
- Migrations: Kinsta includes unlimited free migrations, and SiteGround and Cloudways migrate your first site free.
- Support: all four list 24/7 support.
Email is usually separate. SiteGround includes mailboxes on your domain; with Kinsta, WP Engine and Cloudways you add an email service.
Managed vs shared vs cloud hosting
Shared hosting puts many customers' sites on the same server resources. It is the cheapest option and usually comes with a control panel, email and one-click WordPress installs. You handle more of the WordPress upkeep yourself.
Managed WordPress hosting is built only for WordPress. The host handles WordPress and PHP updates, caching, security, backups and staging, and its support staff know WordPress. Managed does not always mean dedicated resources: WP Engine lists its Essential plan's environment type as "Shared", and SiteGround's StartUp, GrowBig and GoGeek are shared hosting plans with WordPress management tools added.
Cloud hosting gives your sites their own virtual server with set memory, CPU and storage. Cloudways sits here: you choose a cloud provider and server size, and Cloudways manages the server software and WordPress tooling on top.
For a small business, the question is less about the label and more about what is included. Check backups, staging, malware cleanup, email and the renewal price on any plan you consider.
1. SiteGround: best value for a first business site
SiteGround's StartUp plan is $2.99 a month and "Renews at $17.99/mo. Prepaid for 12 months." It hosts one website with 10GB of storage. The plan card says "unlimited traffic", but SiteGround's FAQ says StartUp "supports around 10,000 visits" a month, GrowBig about 100,000 and GoGeek 400,000 or more. GrowBig is $4.99 a month for the first 12 months and renews at $29.99, and adds unlimited websites, 50GB, on-demand backups and staging.
Every plan includes free SSL, SiteGround's own CDN ("included with your hosting at no additional cost"), and daily backups that SiteGround says store up to 30 days of restore points. SiteGround includes "unlimited accounts" of email on your domain, which none of the other three hosts do. It also includes a free domain for one year (.com, .org or .net), so check the domain's renewal price in year two. SiteGround says your first migration is free and offers a free Migrator plugin for WordPress sites.
Support is 24/7 by live chat, tickets and phone, and shared plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. SiteGround runs on Google Cloud and lists 11 data centres in the US, UK, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Australia and Singapore.
Why it ranks first: for a small business site, SiteGround is the cheapest of the four in year one, and in year two it costs less than Kinsta, WP Engine, or Cloudways with its email, CDN and malware protection add-ons. It is also the only one that includes email, phone support and a money-back guarantee together. Plan for the renewal: year two on StartUp costs about six times year one, and staging starts on GrowBig. If you outgrow 10,000 visits, the next plan renews at $29.99 a month.
SiteGround
Strengths
- $35.88 for the first year on StartUp
- Unlimited email accounts on your domain included
- Free CDN and daily backups with up to 30 days of restore points
- 24/7 phone, chat and ticket support
- 30-day money-back guarantee
Good to know
- StartUp renews at $17.99 a month, six times the intro price
- Intro price comes with a 12-month prepayment
- About 10,000 monthly visits on StartUp, per SiteGround's FAQ
- Staging starts on GrowBig
- Data centres in the US, Europe, Australia and Singapore
2. Kinsta: best fully managed hosting
Kinsta's cheapest single-site plan is $35 a month billed monthly or $350 a year billed annually ("2 months free"). You choose whether it is billed on bandwidth (20GB of server bandwidth a month) or on visits (35,000 a month). Both versions include 10GB of storage, 125GB of CDN bandwidth and 14 days of backup retention. Kinsta does not show a separate renewal price, so the list price is what you keep paying. Extra sites are $30 a month each. Kinsta also now sells a Launch plan at the same $35 a month ($350 a year), billed on 15GB of server bandwidth with 15GB of storage; Kinsta estimates it suits about 75,000 visits, and unlike the two single-site plans, Kinsta marks it as suitable for ecommerce and membership sites. Our Kinsta review compares the three.
Kinsta lists these as included on all plans: a managed web application firewall with DDoS protection, free malware removal, unlimited free migrations, CDN and edge caching, and 24/7 human support in 8 languages. Kinsta offers "a first month free on select plans for new customers. After any free period, all plans are covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee." If you go over your visit, storage or CDN limits, Kinsta says your site stays online, it notifies you at 80% and 100% of usage, and overage fees apply. Kinsta's overage page lists the rates: $0.50 per 1,000 extra visits, $0.50 per GB of server bandwidth, $0.05 per GB of CDN bandwidth and $2 per GB of disk per month.
Kinsta does not include email, so add the cost of a separate mailbox service. Payment is by card, and annual plans can also be paid by wire transfer or ACH.
Why it ranks second: Kinsta includes more of the things that cost money when they go wrong (malware cleanup, migrations, a money-back guarantee) than any other host here, at a price that does not jump at renewal. It costs more than SiteGround in both years, and email is extra, which is why it sits behind SiteGround for a typical small business. For a WooCommerce store where downtime costs sales, it is the stronger pick.
Kinsta
Strengths
- No intro-to-renewal price jump: $35 a month or $350 a year
- Free malware removal and unlimited migrations
- First month free on select plans, then a 30-day money-back guarantee
- Choose billing by visits or by bandwidth
- Data centres in Montreal and Toronto
Good to know
- Pair with a separate email service
- Backups kept 14 days on the entry plan
- 10GB storage on the single-site plans
- Overage fees apply above plan limits
3. WP Engine: established managed host with longer backup history
WP Engine's Essential plan for one site is $35 a month billed monthly. Billed annually, WP Engine shows $28 a month, paid as $336 up front, which it labels "Price includes promotional discount". Its terms say this first-year pricing is for new customers on Essential plans and "is not valid for upgrades, renewals". WP Engine does not publish the annual renewal price and says "Product renewal pricing subject to change", so plan on paying more in year two.
Essential with one site includes 25,000 visits a month, 10GB of storage and 75GB of bandwidth. Larger capacities are 3 sites with 75,000 visits and 15GB, then 10 and 30 site options. Every plan includes auto-renewing SSL, a CDN powered by Cloudflare, one-click staging, security patching and plugin risk scans, and automatic and on-demand backups. WP Engine says it keeps backups "for no less than 30 days and no longer than 60 days", the longest history of the four. A managed firewall with advanced DDoS protection is an optional add-on on every plan.
WP Engine's FAQ says it charges an overage for each 1,000 visits over your limit and quotes $2 per 1,000 for plans with older names (Startup, Professional, Growth, Scale). Check the current rate for Essential before you sign up. WP Engine does not offer email, and its FAQ suggests a third-party email host. Support is 24/7. We did not find a money-back guarantee or free trial advertised on WP Engine's plans page.
Why it ranks third: WP Engine matches Kinsta's monthly price and has the longest backup retention here. Its entry plan includes 25,000 visits to Kinsta's 35,000, its plans page does not advertise malware removal or a money-back guarantee, and the annual renewal price is not published. Our Kinsta vs WP Engine comparison goes into the two in more detail.
WP Engine
Strengths
- Backups kept 30 to 60 days
- Cloudflare-powered CDN and one-click staging included
- $336 for the first year on annual billing
- Option to pay in Canadian dollars
- Montreal data centre on shared plans
Good to know
- Annual renewal price not published
- Money-back guarantee or trial not advertised on the plans page
- 25,000 visits a month on Essential, with overage charges above that
- Pair with a third-party email host
- Managed firewall is an optional paid add-on
WP Engine
4. Cloudways: best for flexibility, developers and agencies
Cloudways is managed cloud hosting. You pick a cloud provider and a server size, and pay by the hour. A DigitalOcean "Micro" server is $11 a month ($0.0164 an hour) on Standard (SSD) storage or $14 on Premium (NVMe), with 1GB of RAM, 1 vCPU, 25GB of storage and 1TB of transfer bandwidth. The "Small" server is $24 (Standard) or $28 (Premium) a month with 2GB of RAM and 50GB. Cloudways says 1GB servers are mainly for testing and staging. Read our full Cloudways review for add-ons, billing and Canadian tax, and Cloudways vs Kinsta for the side-by-side. Cloudways lists unlimited visits and unlimited websites on its servers, limited by what the server can handle. Prices are in USD and exclude taxes.
Included on every plan: free Let's Encrypt SSL, a server-level firewall (Imunify360), staging, automated and on-demand backups, free migration of your first website, and 24/7 support. Cloudways sells several items as add-ons that the other hosts include:
- CDN: Cloudflare Enterprise "starts at $4.99/domain/mon"
- Malware protection: "starts at $4/app/month"
- Email: Rackspace mailboxes at $1.50 per mailbox per month
- Offsite backup storage: $0.033 per GB per server
Cloudways offers a 3-day free trial with no credit card. We did not find a money-back guarantee; billing is for the hours you use.
Why it ranks fourth: Cloudways is the cheapest way to get a dedicated cloud server with managed tooling, and you can host many sites on one server. That suits agencies and developers. For a small business owner who wants one site looked after, the server choices, hourly billing and paid add-ons add decisions that SiteGround, Kinsta and WP Engine handle for you.
Cloudways
Strengths
- From $11 a month, billed hourly, no long commitment
- Unlimited sites on one server
- Choice of DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS and Google Cloud
- Free staging and first-site migration
- 3-day free trial, no credit card
Good to know
- CDN, malware protection and email are paid add-ons
- Offsite backup storage billed per GB
- 3-day free trial in place of a money-back guarantee
- You choose and size the server yourself
How to choose
Price year two, not year one. SiteGround's intro price is the lowest, but StartUp renews at $17.99 a month. Kinsta and Cloudways show no intro discount, so their year-one and year-two prices match. WP Engine's annual first-year price is a promotion with no published renewal price.
Add email to the hosting cost. Only SiteGround includes mailboxes. With the other three, add a separate email service for each person who needs an address.
Match the plan to your traffic. SiteGround says StartUp suits around 10,000 visits a month, WP Engine Essential includes 25,000, and Kinsta's single-site plan 35,000. Kinsta and WP Engine charge overages above the limit.
Check malware cleanup coverage. Kinsta includes malware removal. On Cloudways it is an add-on. SiteGround and WP Engine do not advertise malware cleanup on the pages we checked, so ask before you buy.
For a store, put backups and staging first. WooCommerce sites change daily. Check backup retention and that staging is on your plan; on SiteGround it starts on GrowBig.
Hosting a WooCommerce store
A WooCommerce store changes every day, with orders, stock and customer accounts, so backups, staging and enough capacity for busy periods matter more than on a brochure site. What each host says about stores:
- Kinsta: its two single-site plans are not marked for ecommerce, while the Launch plan, at the same $35 a month, is marked as suitable for ecommerce and membership sites. Kinsta lets you choose Montreal or Toronto when you create a site.
- WP Engine: its WooCommerce page describes EverCache for Woo, cart-aware caching designed to keep checkout stable during traffic spikes, and Smart Plugin Manager's visual regression testing before plugin updates go live. The Essential plan lists automatic plugin and theme updates as an optional add-on, so ask WP Engine which store features your plan includes.
- Cloudways: its Flexible servers host unlimited WooCommerce sites on one server, with staging, server cloning and Redis included, and Cloudways describes its Autonomous plans as fully managed WordPress hosting that autoscales for high-traffic stores.
- SiteGround: GrowBig adds staging and on-demand backups, which StartUp does not include.
If you are still choosing a store platform, our Shopify vs WooCommerce in Canada comparison covers the costs of each.
WordPress hosting in Canada
Which managed WordPress hosts have Canadian data centres, and which bill in CAD. If you want your site and its customer data hosted in Canada, these are the options the hosts list (checked October 2026):
| Host | Canadian data centres | Billing currency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kinsta | Montreal, Toronto | USD | Listed as ca-montreal-1 and ca-toronto-1; you choose when you create a site |
| WP Engine | Montreal (Google Cloud) | CAD or USD | Montreal is available on shared plans; AWS Montreal is for Premium plans only |
| Cloudways | Toronto (DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode); Montreal (AWS, Google Cloud); Calgary (AWS) | USD | Location depends on the cloud provider you pick |
| Web Hosting Canada | Canada | CAD | WHC says its WordPress plans run on its "100% Canadian Cloud" |
| SiteGround | None | USD | 11 data centres in the US, Europe, Australia and Singapore |
WP Engine says shared plans are created in the region closest to you at signup and can be moved to another region. Cloudways' own help article says backups for servers on every provider are stored on Amazon infrastructure, so if storage location matters, ask Cloudways where your backups are kept.
Alberta and the West (Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver). Cloudways is the only managed WordPress host here with an Alberta data centre: Calgary, on AWS servers. AWS servers are priced higher than DigitalOcean servers on Cloudways, and our Cloudways review lists AWS prices and billing. Kinsta's Canadian data centres are in Montreal and Toronto, and WP Engine's is in Montreal; a CDN delivers images and other static files from locations closer to western visitors. For Canadian shared hosting, Web Hosting Canada lets you pick a Vancouver data centre, which it suggests for audiences in British Columbia and Alberta. Our web hosting by province and city guide covers every region.
You will likely pay in US dollars. Kinsta and Cloudways list prices in USD, and SiteGround's pricing page shows USD. WP Engine lets you pick Canadian dollars on its plans page: Essential was C$45 a month billed monthly, or C$432 for the first year billed annually. When a Canadian card is charged in a foreign currency, the issuer converts it and usually adds a conversion charge. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada uses 2.5% as its example and says to check your card agreement for your rate.
Do you need Canadian hosting? For most private businesses, no law requires it. The federal privacy commissioner says PIPEDA "does not prohibit organizations in Canada from transferring personal information to an organization in another jurisdiction for processing", but you stay accountable for the data, and you should tell customers their information may be processed in another country. A few provincial rules matter:
- Quebec: section 17 of Quebec's private-sector privacy act requires a privacy impact assessment before personal information is communicated outside Quebec, and this applies when you have someone outside Quebec keep it for you, such as a host. Toronto is outside Quebec. A Montreal data centre (Kinsta, WP Engine, or Cloudways on AWS or Google Cloud) keeps the site's data in Quebec.
- Alberta: under PIPA section 13.1, if you use a service provider outside Canada for personal information collected with consent, you must notify people how to get your policies on it and who can answer their questions.
- Public-sector work: residency rules in some provinces, such as Nova Scotia's PIIDPA, apply to public bodies and their service providers. If you host data for a government client, check your contract.
Canadian shared hosting with email included. If your site is a small brochure site and you want mailboxes on the same bill in Canadian dollars, our best web hosting in Canada review compares Web Hosting Canada, CanSpace and HostPapa, all of which bill in CAD.
A Canadian-dollar option: Web Hosting Canada. If you would rather pay in CAD and keep your site on Canadian servers, Web Hosting Canada (WHC) is a Montreal-based host with managed WordPress plans. WP Go is C$3.99 a month for 36 months, then C$7.99 a month, for one site, 10GB of SSD storage and up to 25,000 visitors a month. WP Pro is C$5.99 a month for 36 months, then C$12.99, with 25GB, up to 100,000 visitors, one-click staging and a global CDN. WHC lists daily backups, a free website transfer, a 30-day money-back guarantee, a 99.9% uptime guarantee and 24/7 bilingual support by phone, live chat and email. WHC says renewal pricing shown is the current 3-year renewal rate and may change, and the intro price applies to the first billing cycle for new orders only. WHC's plan cards and its comparison table differ on whether a domain is included with WordPress plans, so check the cart before you pay. Our best web hosting in Canada review compares WHC with other Canadian hosts.

Our verdict
4.5For most small business sites, SiteGround is the best value: $35.88 for the first year with email, phone support and a money-back guarantee included. Budget for the $17.99 a month renewal from year two. Choose Kinsta if you want the most fully managed service, with malware removal, unlimited migrations and no renewal jump, and you are happy to pay $35 a month plus a separate email service. WP Engine suits buyers who value its 30 to 60 days of backups; check its renewal price and overage terms. Cloudways is the flexible, lowest-ongoing-cost choice for developers and agencies who are comfortable picking a server and adding a CDN, malware protection and email themselves.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest managed WordPress hosting for a small business?
On first-year price, SiteGround's StartUp plan at $2.99 a month prepaid for 12 months ($35.88) is the cheapest of the four. On ongoing price, Cloudways starts at $11 a month on a DigitalOcean Standard server, while SiteGround renews at $17.99 a month. Cloudways charges extra for its CDN, malware protection and email, so add those before you compare (USD, checked September 2026).
Is Kinsta or WP Engine better for a small business site?
At the entry level both start at $35 a month billed monthly. Kinsta's single-site plan offers billing on 35,000 visits or 20GB of server bandwidth, and includes free malware removal and a 30-day money-back guarantee. WP Engine's Essential plan allows 25,000 visits a month and keeps backups for 30 to 60 days; its plans page does not advertise a money-back guarantee. WP Engine's first-year annual price ($336) is lower than Kinsta's annual price ($350); WP Engine does not publish what the annual plan renews at.
Do managed WordPress hosts include business email?
Not all of them. Kinsta says it does not provide email as part of its hosting plans, WP Engine's FAQ suggests a third-party email host, and Cloudways sells Rackspace mailboxes as a paid add-on at $1.50 per mailbox a month. SiteGround includes unlimited email accounts on your domain. If you choose Kinsta, WP Engine or Cloudways, budget for a service such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Zoho Mail.
Why does SiteGround's price change after the first year?
SiteGround's advertised prices are introductory and require you to prepay 12 months. StartUp is $2.99 a month for that first term and then renews at $17.99 a month. GrowBig goes from $4.99 to $29.99 a month. The renewal price is disclosed on the pricing page, so plan your budget on it.
Which WordPress hosts have data centres in Canada?
Kinsta lists Montreal and Toronto. WP Engine lists Google Cloud Montreal for shared plans and AWS Montreal for Premium plans only. Cloudways offers Toronto on DigitalOcean, Vultr and Linode, Montreal on AWS and Google Cloud, and Calgary on AWS. SiteGround lists 11 data centres in the US, Europe, Australia and Singapore, none in Canada. Web Hosting Canada hosts its WordPress plans on Canadian infrastructure and bills in Canadian dollars.
Do I need managed WordPress hosting, or is shared hosting enough?
A small brochure site with modest traffic can run well on a shared plan that includes daily backups, SSL and staging. Managed WordPress hosting earns its price when downtime or a hacked site would cost you sales, for example a WooCommerce store, because the host takes on updates, caching, security and restores. Compare what each plan includes, not just the label.
Is there managed WordPress hosting in Canada?
Yes. Kinsta offers Montreal and Toronto, WP Engine offers Google Cloud Montreal on its shared plans, and Cloudways offers Toronto, Montreal and Calgary depending on the cloud provider you pick. Web Hosting Canada, a Montreal-based host, sells managed WordPress plans on what it calls its 100% Canadian Cloud. Web Hosting Canada and WP Engine can bill in Canadian dollars; Kinsta and Cloudways bill in US dollars. Locations checked October 2026.
How much does WordPress hosting cost?
For the hosts in this guide, SiteGround's StartUp plan is USD $2.99 a month for the first 12 months, prepaid, then $17.99 a month. Web Hosting Canada's WP Go starts at C$3.99 a month on a 36-month term. Kinsta's single-site plan and WP Engine's Essential plan are both USD $35 a month billed monthly. Cloudways servers start at USD $11 a month, and a 2GB DigitalOcean server for a live site is $24 to $28 a month. Prices exclude sales tax; check the renewal price and what is included, such as email, before you compare.
