Every feature on every plan. No upsell tier.

See what's included →Built to last, tuned for speed.
Every plan. Every server. Not a teaser tier and a premium upsell.
AccelerateWP
CloudLinux's full-stack WordPress optimization (object cache, page cache, image conversion, smart prefetch) shipped on every shared plan.
Redis Object Cache
In-memory object cache reduces database round-trips for WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, and any PHP app that supports it.
Free SSL + CDN Integration
Let's Encrypt auto-renewal plus integrated CloudFlare CDN. No add-on charges, no DNS gymnastics, no premium tier required.
SSD Storage
Pure-SSD storage on every node. No spinning disks, no SATA SSDs sitting next to your I/O queue, no overcommit ratios.
CloudLinux Resource Isolation
Your account's CPU, RAM, and I/O are isolated from your shared neighbors. One noisy site can't drag yours down.
Daily JetBackup
Automated daily backups with 30 days of restore points. Restore files, databases, or email in one click from cPanel.
12-Minute Support Response
Real humans, on-shore, with hosting backgrounds. Live chat and tickets average 12 minutes to first response, not a third-party callcenter.
Free Site Migration
Our techs move your existing site for you. Small sites can be staged the same business day; large or multi-domain sites take longer. We coordinate the cutover so it stays smooth.
Imunify360
Real-time malware scanning, automatic cleanup, and a hardened WAF on Ultra Unlimited Pro. Available as an add-on for other tiers.

Shared hosting vs VPS vs dedicated.
Shared is the right starting point for most small business sites, blogs, and brochure sites. Move up to VPS when you need root access, custom software, or guaranteed dedicated CPU/RAM. Move up to dedicated when the workload demands the whole server.
| Shared Hosting | VPS Hosting | Dedicated Server | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $3.95/mo | $49.95/mo | $99.95/mo |
| Setup time | Minutes | 1-2 hours | Same day |
| cPanel included | |||
| Root / sudo access | |||
| Resource isolation | CloudLinux per-account | Guaranteed CPU/RAM slice | Whole server |
| Best for | Most small business sites, blogs, brochure sites, small stores | Custom software, headless apps, high-traffic WordPress, dev sandboxes | Heavy e-commerce, compliance requirements, very high traffic |
| Free migration included |
Engineered for speed on the hosting layer, not the marketing layer.
The reason Ultra shared hosting is consistently 4 to 8 times faster than the bottom of the shared market isn't a single feature, it's a stack. CloudLinux gives every account its own isolated CPU, RAM, and I/O budget so a neighbor's traffic spike doesn't slow your site. LiteSpeed serves static and PHP content faster than Apache, with LSCache pre-tuned for WordPress, Magento, Joomla, and Drupal.
SSDs across the entire fleet (no SATA, no spinning disks), Redis object cache in front of MariaDB/MySQL, and AccelerateWP as a full-stack WordPress optimization layer (object cache, page cache, image conversion, smart prefetch) round out the speed story. Integrated CloudFlare CDN caches your static assets to 300+ edge locations worldwide.
- CloudLinux per-account resource isolation
- LiteSpeed web server with LSCache
- SSDs across the entire fleet
- Redis object cache + Memcached
- AccelerateWP full-stack WP optimization
- Free CloudFlare CDN integration
Defense in depth, not a marketing tier.
Security isn't an upsell on Ultra shared hosting. Every plan includes free Let's Encrypt SSL with automatic renewal, always-on DDoS protection at the network edge, SpamAssassin + ImunifyAV on inbound mail, and daily JetBackup with 30-day restore points for one-click rollback. Ultra Unlimited Pro adds Imunify360 with real-time malware scanning, automatic cleanup, and a hardened WAF.
For account-level security, two-factor authentication is supported in both cPanel and the client area, all logins are TLS-encrypted, and our team responds to abuse reports within hours. If a site is compromised, our support team will help restore from backup and identify the entry point.
- Free Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal
- Always-on DDoS protection at the edge
- Daily JetBackup, 30-day restore points
- Imunify360 (on Pro plan)
- Two-factor authentication everywhere
- SpamAssassin + ImunifyAV mail filtering
An agentic AI coding assistant, built into cPanel.
Every Ultra shared hosting plan includes Softaculous Code with AI, an agentic AI coding assistant built directly into your cPanel control panel. Point it at a project directory and it can read and write files, edit existing code with targeted changes, search by name or content, debug, refactor, plan multi-step changes before applying them, and run shell commands.
Bring your own API key for Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Together AI, Ollama, or any of the eleven supported providers, or start with the free OpenCode Zen tier enabled by default. You pay your AI provider directly with no token markup, and your conversation history, tokens, and usage stay under your control.
Useful for WordPress theme tweaks, plugin debugging, refactoring, custom PHP work, or generating new features through natural-language prompts. The full list of supported providers and a setup walkthrough lives on the AI Coding Hosting page.
- Built into cPanel, no extra install
- 11 supported providers (Claude, GPT, Gemini, etc.)
- Free OpenCode Zen tier enabled by default
- Bring your own API key, no token markup
- Agentic: reads, writes, debugs, runs commands

WordPress hosting that flies, out of the box.
WordPress is the most popular CMS on Ultra shared hosting, so we tune for it from day one. Every plan ships with one-click WordPress install via Softaculous, WP Toolkit for staging and cloning, and AccelerateWP (CloudLinux's full-stack WordPress optimization). Redis object cache is pre-installed and ready to enable from any WP-friendly caching plugin.
Need a WordPress-specific environment with managed updates, automated staging, and Toolkit Premium features? See our WordPress Optimized Hosting tier. For WP performance tuning on existing sites, the WordPress Performance guide walks through every optimization we recommend.
- One-click WordPress install (Softaculous)
- WP Toolkit for staging, clone, secure, update
- AccelerateWP optimization layer
- Redis object cache pre-installed
- Automatic WP core updates available
- Free WP migration from any host
We move your site for you, free, on a realistic timeline.
If you're already hosted somewhere, our technicians will migrate your site to Ultra free of charge. The process is straightforward: after signup, open a support ticket with your current host's cPanel login (or FTP/database credentials if it's not cPanel), and our team handles the file copy, database export/import, mail accounts, and configuration tweaks.
Timing varies by site size and complexity. A small WordPress brochure site can typically be staged the same business day. A multi-gigabyte site with thousands of media files, large databases, or multiple addon domains takes longer. Once we have the new copy ready and tested under a temporary URL, the cutover step requires you to update your DNS at the registrar (or hand off registrar access), and that's usually where the schedule depends most on customer responsiveness. Our team coordinates each step so the site goes live with no data loss.
We handle WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, OpenCart, static HTML sites, custom PHP applications, and most cPanel-to-cPanel transfers. For the step-by-step migration walkthrough see our KB article, or just open a ticket and we'll take it from there.
- Free for all shared, VPS, and dedicated plans
- WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento supported
- Staged on a temporary URL, tested before cutover
- Coordinated DNS cutover to minimize downtime
- Email accounts and DNS records included
- Timing depends on site size + registrar access
A 23-year track record, in one section.
Shared web hosting built for speed and reliability.
Ultra Web Hosting has operated its own server infrastructure since 2002. Our shared hosting plans run on CloudLinux with LiteSpeed, SSD storage, and Redis object caching, behind a CloudFlare CDN integration that's included free with every plan. Sites load in milliseconds, not seconds.
What you get on every plan
Every plan ships with free SSL, free CDN integration, free migration, and a 12-minute support response. We don't gate basics behind premium tiers. We don't oversell servers. We don't reseller-resell. We own the hardware, our staff sits on-site, and we've been doing this since before "the cloud" was a marketing term.
Pricing transparency
Our renewal prices match our introductory prices, period. The plan you signed up for at $3.95/mo renews at $3.95/mo, not at a hidden higher rate the way most of the discount-hosting industry operates. There are no setup fees on any shared plan. The 30% promotional discount applies to the first term and is honored at signup, not at renewal.
The team behind the hardware
The on-call hardware team works in the same building as the servers. The support team is based on-shore with hosting backgrounds, not a third-party call center. When you open a ticket, an Ultra employee answers it, and our 12-minute average first-response time is measured across all tickets during business hours. We're also a green hosting provider, with renewable energy offsetting the datacenter's full power draw.
23 years of word-of-mouth.
A small sample from our 312 Shopper Approved reviews. Read all customer reviews.
"I've been using Ultra for almost 18 years now. These guys are the most professional of all the webhosts I've worked with, providing patient and thorough customer service quickly while charging the lowest rates I've encountered."
"Before Ultra, my website load times were horrible. Users complained of 30+ second page loads. After my move, my website loads in 2 to 3 seconds and all my users are happy. Customer service is top notch."
"The responses to my requests were so prompt that I almost felt as if the support team and I were in the same room. I have not often been so impressed. David and Kevin have it together. They understand what great service is about."

What customers ask before choosing a hosting plan.
The questions our sales team gets every week. If yours isn't here, drop us a line and we'll add it.
How much does shared web hosting cost?
Ultra shared hosting plans start at $3.95/month for the Ultra 1x Hosting single-site plan when billed annually. Ultra Unlimited is $6.95/month for unlimited sites, and Ultra Unlimited Pro is $9.95/month for higher-demanding sites with 3x Xeon CPU performance. There are no setup fees on shared plans, and renewal pricing matches the introductory rate.
How many websites can I host on one plan?
Ultra 1x supports a single website. Ultra Unlimited and Ultra Unlimited Pro both support unlimited websites on one hosting account, each with its own domain, email accounts, and databases. There is no artificial site limit on the unlimited tiers.
Is WordPress supported on shared hosting?
Yes. Every plan includes one-click WordPress installation via Softaculous, plus AccelerateWP, WP Toolkit for staging and cloning, and Redis object caching pre-tuned for WordPress. For the WordPress-specific tier with managed updates, see WordPress Optimized Hosting.
Do you include an AI coding assistant?
Yes. Every plan includes Softaculous Code with AI, an agentic AI coding assistant built into cPanel. It can read and write files, edit code with targeted changes, debug, refactor, plan multi-step changes, and run shell commands. Bring your own API key for Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Together AI, Ollama (or any of 11 supported providers), or use the free OpenCode Zen tier enabled by default. See AI Coding Hosting for the full provider list.
Do you include a free SSL certificate?
Yes, every plan includes a free SSL certificate that auto-installs and auto-renews via Let's Encrypt. SSL is included on unlimited domains for the Unlimited and Pro plans.
Can I migrate my existing site to Ultra for free?
Yes. Free site migration is included with every plan, and our technicians handle the file copy, database, mail accounts, and configuration. Timing depends on site size and the DNS cutover step at your registrar: a small WordPress brochure site can be staged the same business day, while a multi-gigabyte site with large databases takes longer. We stage the new copy on a temporary URL first, test it, then coordinate the DNS cutover with you to minimize downtime. Open a support ticket after signup with your current host's login details and we'll take it from there.
What is your uptime guarantee?
We guarantee 99.9% uptime on all shared hosting plans. Our servers are housed in our own datacenter with redundant power, dual Cisco network feeds, hardware RAID, and on-site staff 24/7.
Can I upgrade my plan later as my site grows?
Yes. Upgrades from Ultra 1x to Ultra Unlimited or Pro happen in your client area with no downtime. When you outgrow shared entirely, our support team can migrate you to VPS or dedicated hosting and prorate the unused portion of your shared plan.
What is your refund policy?
All shared hosting plans come with a 45-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund through the client area within 45 days of signup for a full refund. Domain registration fees are non-refundable since they're paid to the registry on your behalf. See refund policy for full terms.
Where are your servers located?
Our servers are housed in our own datacenter with on-site staff 24/7. Free CloudFlare CDN integration caches your static assets to 300+ edge locations worldwide, so your visitors get fast response times regardless of where they are.
Do I get a free domain name?
Yes. Annual Ultra shared hosting plans include a free .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, or .co domain for the first year. Premium TLDs (.io, .ai, .tech etc.) are available at their standard registration price.
How fast is Ultra shared hosting?
Our shared hosting infrastructure (CloudLinux + LiteSpeed + SSD + Redis + LSCache + AccelerateWP) consistently benchmarks 4-8x faster than standard cPanel-on-Apache shared hosting from typical low-cost competitors. We have optimized over 10,000 sites since 2002.
Is my data backed up automatically?
Yes. All shared plans include automated daily backups with 30 days of restore points via JetBackup. Restore individual files, databases, or email accounts in one click from cPanel.
Shared vs VPS vs dedicated - which do I need?
Shared is the right starting point for most small business sites, blogs, brochure sites, and small stores. VPS makes sense when you need root access, custom software, headless apps, or guaranteed dedicated CPU/RAM. Dedicated is for heavy e-commerce, compliance requirements, or workloads that need the whole server. If you outgrow shared, our support team will migrate you to VPS or dedicated and prorate the unused portion of your shared plan.
What if my site is hacked or compromised?
Ultra Unlimited Pro includes Imunify360 with real-time malware scanning. If a site on any plan is compromised, our support team will help restore from backup and identify the entry point. Most compromises trace back to outdated WordPress plugins or weak passwords.
What software is included with shared hosting?
Every plan includes cPanel, Softaculous (100+ one-click app installs), WP Toolkit, SSH access, Git version control, multiple PHP versions, MariaDB/MySQL, phpMyAdmin, free SSL, integrated CloudFlare CDN, email hosting with webmail and SpamAssassin, DNS management, and cron job scheduling.
Launch any major CMS or web app in two clicks.
Softaculous ships with every plan and installs the apps below plus 90+ more, all automatically configured against a fresh database with sane defaults.
