When something breaks, the fix happens in minutes, not days — and that translates directly to your WordPress site's uptime.

- On-site technicians in the same building as the racks
- RAID + UPS protection on every WordPress host
- No third-party datacenter staff between you and a fix
LiteSpeed, LSCache, and AccelerateWP, out of the box.
Every Ultra WordPress plan ships with the full LiteSpeed cache stack, CloudLinux AccelerateWP, Redis object cache, and the optional Ultra Performance Tweaks plugin preconfigured. Your site lands fast on day one, not after a week of plugin tuning.

WordPress Optimized vs Shared vs VPS.
Shared Web Hosting is the general-purpose tier if you don't need WordPress-specific tuning. WordPress Optimized adds AccelerateWP, 3x Xeon CPU, WP Toolkit, and a WordPress-tuned MariaDB. VPS Hosting is the upgrade path when you need root, custom software, or guaranteed CPU/RAM for very high-traffic WordPress sites.
| Shared Web Hosting | WordPress Optimized | VPS Hosting | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $3.95/mo | $9.95/mo | $49.95/mo |
| WordPress-tuned MariaDB + Redis | Self-configured | ||
| AccelerateWP optimization layer | Available add-on | ||
| WP Toolkit (staging + clone) | Pro tier only | ||
| 3x Xeon CPU allocation | Pro tier only | Guaranteed CPU/RAM slice | |
| WordPress sites supported | Up to unlimited (varies by tier) | Unlimited | Unlimited (hardware-bound) |
| WooCommerce + WP Multisite | |||
| Automatic WordPress core updates | Self-managed | ||
| Free CloudFlare CDN integration | |||
| Root / sudo access | |||
| Best for | Non-WordPress workloads, multi-CMS sites, brochure sites | Most WordPress sites, agencies, WooCommerce stores, multisite | Very high-traffic WordPress, custom WP stacks, headless apps |
WordPress optimization, one click in cPanel.
AccelerateWP is CloudLinux's full-stack WordPress optimization layer, included free on Ultra WordPress Optimized Hosting. It bundles Redis object cache, LSCache page cache, WebP/AVIF image conversion, smart prefetch, critical CSS, lazy loading, and JS/CSS minification under a single one-click activation in your cPanel WordPress Toolkit.
Most sites see 3 to 5 times faster TTFB and Lighthouse Performance scores in the 90+ range without manually configuring a single plugin. AccelerateWP knows when to bypass cache for admin pages, WooCommerce cart, logged-in user content, and form submissions — so the optimization never breaks dynamic functionality.
- Redis object cache (transients, sessions, query results)
- LSCache page cache pre-tuned for WordPress
- WebP / AVIF auto-conversion + lazy loading
- Critical CSS + JS/CSS minification
- WooCommerce-aware cache rules
- One-click activation in cPanel WP Toolkit
Our WordPress optimization plugin, available on every site.
Ultra Performance Tweaks is a plugin we make available on every Ultra WordPress site. Activate it from the WordPress dashboard whenever you're ready. No separate purchase, no add-on fee. Twelve toggleable optimizations sit under Settings, Ultra Performance once it's enabled, each one defaulted to the right choice for typical WordPress workloads.
The plugin handles the WordPress speed-and-security defaults that everyone should turn on but almost nobody does: heartbeat throttling (slows the dashboard polling from every 15 seconds to every 60 to free up CPU), query-string stripping on CSS/JS assets so CloudFlare and LSCache can cache them properly, emoji + embed script removal for faster page loads, XML-RPC disabling to stop the most common WordPress attack vector, pingback and self-ping suppression, WordPress version hiding, and the removal of legacy RSD/WLW/shortlink head tags that haven't been useful in a decade.
It also ships with login-attempt brute-force protection (five failed logins from an IP triggers a 15-minute lockout, with a recent-lockouts log and per-IP unlock button in the settings page, and the plugin politely defers if Wordfence, Sucuri, iThemes Security, AIO Security, WP Cerber, LoginPress, Jetpack Protect, or Limit Login Attempts is already running), comment spam protection (honeypot field + a 3-second speed trap + a 2-link limit + auto-closing comments on posts older than 90 days), and an admin-bar Purge All Caches button that clears every cache layer at once: WordPress object cache, transients, OPcache, LiteSpeed / AccelerateWP, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Autoptimize, Elementor / Divi / Beaver / Oxygen / Brizy / GeneratePress builder caches, ea-nginx, and CloudFlare CDN (via your API token, if configured).
The settings page also includes a server environment dashboard that shows your PHP version + handler, MariaDB version, OPcache stats, object-cache drop-in detection, ea-nginx + CloudFlare detection, WP-Cron + WP_DEBUG state, and key wp-config.php + .htaccess hardening flags. Everything you need to verify your WordPress install is configured for production without opening cPanel or SSH.
- Available on every Ultra WordPress site
- 12 togglable optimizations, sensible defaults
- Heartbeat throttling, query-string stripping, emoji/embed removal
- XML-RPC disable, pingback + self-ping suppression, WP version hidden
- Login brute-force protection (auto-defers to other security plugins)
- Comment spam: honeypot + speed trap + auto-close stale posts
- 1-click admin-bar Purge All Caches (21 cache layers covered)
- Server environment dashboard built in
Defense in depth for WordPress.
Security for WordPress isn't an upsell. The plan includes free Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal, always-on DDoS protection at the network edge, ModSecurity with OWASP Core Rule Set, SpamAssassin + ImunifyAV on inbound mail, HardenedPHP back-porting critical security fixes to legacy PHP versions, and daily JetBackup with 30-day restore points for one-click rollback if a WordPress install ever goes sideways.
CloudLinux CageFS isolates your WordPress account from your shared neighbors, so a compromised site on the same server can't reach your files. If a site is compromised, our support team will help restore from backup and identify the entry point. Imunify360 (real-time WordPress malware scanning + hardened WAF) is available as an add-on for sites that need server-grade WP threat detection.
- Free Let's Encrypt SSL with auto-renewal
- Always-on DDoS protection at the edge
- ModSecurity with OWASP Core Rule Set
- CloudLinux CageFS account isolation
- Daily JetBackup, 30-day restore points
- HardenedPHP back-ported security patches
Manage every WordPress site from one screen.
WP Toolkit is included with the plan and centralizes every WordPress operation: install, clone, stage, secure, update, scan for vulnerabilities, change PHP version, toggle debug mode, manage plugins and themes in bulk across all your installs. One screen, all your sites, no SSH'ing in to wp-config.php.
The staging feature is genuinely first-class — spin up a copy of any production site under a temporary URL, test plugin or theme updates safely, then push the changes back to production with one click. Database deltas are diffed and applied cleanly. Especially valuable for WooCommerce stores where a bad plugin update can take the checkout offline.
- One-click WordPress install
- Staging + clone + push-to-production
- Bulk plugin/theme update across sites
- Per-site PHP version + debug mode
- Vulnerability scan + 1-click patch
- Multisite network management
WooCommerce-ready out of the box.
WooCommerce is the most common WordPress workload we host, so we tune for it. Redis object cache is pre-installed (essential for cart session performance), MariaDB is tuned for the product, cart, and order table query patterns, LiteSpeed + LSCache understand WooCommerce's dynamic page conventions (cart bypass, checkout bypass, product page caching), and CloudFlare CDN integration caches your product images globally.
The plan's 3x Xeon CPU allocation handles holiday traffic spikes without the 502 timeouts you see on undersized "managed WooCommerce" hosting. The 50 GB storage handles substantial product image libraries, and the unlimited bandwidth means no overage surprises during a Black Friday push.
- Redis object cache (cart/session performance)
- MariaDB tuned for product/order tables
- WooCommerce-aware LSCache rules
- CloudFlare CDN for product images
- 3x Xeon CPU allocation for holiday spikes
- PCI-DSS friendly server-side TLS config
We move your WordPress site for you, free.
If your WordPress site is already hosted somewhere, our technicians will migrate it 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, email accounts, DNS records, and post-migration optimization (cache warming, AccelerateWP activation, PHP version selection).
Timing varies by site size and complexity. A small WordPress brochure site can typically be staged the same business day. A multi-gigabyte WooCommerce store with thousands of products and order history 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). Our team coordinates each step so the site goes live with no data loss.
- Free for all WordPress, VPS, and dedicated plans
- WP Toolkit + All-in-One Migration tooling
- WooCommerce stores + multisite networks supported
- Staged on temporary URL, tested before cutover
- Coordinated DNS cutover to minimize downtime
- Post-migration cache + PHP version optimization
An AI assistant for WordPress, built into cPanel.
Every Ultra WordPress plan includes Softaculous Code with AI, an agentic AI coding assistant built directly into cPanel. Point it at your WordPress install and it can read and write theme files, debug plugin conflicts, write custom hooks, refactor child themes, plan multi-step migrations, and run WP-CLI commands — all without you opening a separate IDE.
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 stays under your control.
Especially useful for WordPress theme customization, plugin debugging, WooCommerce hook customization, refactoring custom post types, and generating new WordPress features through natural-language prompts. The full provider list and a WordPress-specific 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
- WP-CLI integration for command execution
- Theme + plugin + hook customization
Hosting WordPress since 2003.
WordPress hosting built for speed and reliability.
Ultra Web Hosting has been online since 2002 and started offering WordPress hosting in 2003, the year WordPress 0.7 first shipped. That's 22+ years of dedicated WordPress hosting experience. Our WordPress Optimized plan runs on CloudLinux with LiteSpeed, SSD storage, and Redis object caching, behind a CloudFlare CDN integration that's included free. WordPress sites load in milliseconds, not seconds.
What you get on the WordPress Optimized plan
The plan ships with WP Toolkit, AccelerateWP, free SSL, free CDN integration, free WP migration, automatic WordPress core updates, and a 12-minute support response. We don't gate WordPress basics behind a premium "managed WordPress" tier. We don't oversell servers. The hardware is ours, 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 WordPress plan you signed up for at $9.95/mo renews at $9.95/mo on the same 3-year term, not at a hidden higher rate the way most of the discount-hosting industry operates. There are no setup fees. The 30% promotional discount applies to the first term and is honored at signup, not at renewal.
The team behind the WordPress stack
Our support team is WordPress-fluent — staffed by people who actually run WordPress sites in their day-to-day, not a third-party call center reading scripts. When you open a ticket about a plugin conflict, white-screen crash, WooCommerce checkout 502, or hacked site recovery, an Ultra employee with WordPress hands-on experience answers it. 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.
22+ years of WordPress word-of-mouth.

"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 WordPress load times were horrible. Users complained of 30+ second page loads. After my move, my site 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 WordPress customers ask before choosing a plan.
The questions our sales team gets every week. If yours isn't here, drop us a line.
How much does WordPress hosting cost?
Ultra WordPress Optimized Hosting is $9.95/month on a 3-year term, with renewal at $12.95/month. No setup fees. Unlimited WordPress sites, 3x Xeon CPU, 50 GB SSD, AccelerateWP, WP Toolkit, free CloudFlare CDN. If you don't need WordPress-specific tuning, our Shared Web Hosting plans start at $3.95/mo.
Do you offer managed WordPress hosting?
Ultra WordPress Optimized Hosting includes most managed-WP features: AccelerateWP, WP Toolkit for staging and cloning, automatic WordPress core updates, integrated CloudFlare CDN, daily JetBackup, and 24/7 WordPress-experienced support. For sites that need a guaranteed CPU/RAM slice or root access, our VPS plans are the next step up.
Is WooCommerce supported?
Yes. Redis object cache is pre-installed (essential for cart performance), MariaDB is tuned for WooCommerce's product/cart/order tables, LSCache understands WooCommerce dynamic pages, and CloudFlare CDN caches your product images. The 3x Xeon CPU allocation handles holiday traffic spikes without 502 timeouts.
Can I migrate my existing WordPress site for free?
Yes. Free WordPress migration is included. Our technicians handle file copy, database, mail accounts, WordPress configuration, and post-migration optimization. Timing depends on site size and registrar coordination, not on the number of plugins or pages.
What is AccelerateWP?
AccelerateWP is CloudLinux's full-stack WordPress optimization layer, included free. It bundles Redis object cache, LSCache page cache, WebP/AVIF image conversion, smart prefetch, critical CSS, lazy loading, and minification under a single one-click activation in cPanel. Most sites see 3 to 5x faster TTFB and Lighthouse scores in the 90+ range.
What WordPress plugins are included?
The AccelerateWP integration plugin ships pre-installed on every Ultra WordPress site (exposes Redis/LSCache/image-conversion controls in your dashboard). Our Ultra Performance Tweaks plugin is also available, with 12 togglable WordPress optimizations, login brute-force protection, comment spam protection, and a 1-click admin-bar cache purge across every cache layer. Beyond those, your install is clean. WP Toolkit and Softaculous let you one-click install Yoast, WooCommerce, Elementor, ManageWP, or anything else from the WordPress.org repo.
What does the Ultra Performance Tweaks plugin do?
Ultra Performance Tweaks is our own WordPress plugin, available on every Ultra WordPress site. It bundles 12 togglable optimizations under Settings, Ultra Performance: heartbeat throttling, query-string stripping, emoji/embed removal, XML-RPC disable, pingback suppression, WP version hiding, login brute-force protection (auto-defers if Wordfence/Sucuri/iThemes is also installed), comment spam protection (honeypot + speed trap + 2-link limit + auto-close stale posts), and a 1-click admin-bar Purge All Caches button that clears WordPress object cache, transients, OPcache, LiteSpeed/AccelerateWP, WP Rocket, W3TC, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Autoptimize, Elementor/Divi/Beaver/Oxygen builder caches, ea-nginx, and CloudFlare CDN in one click. The settings page also shows a server environment dashboard with PHP/MariaDB/OPcache stats.
What PHP versions are supported?
PHP 7.4 through 8.3 per-domain via cPanel's PHP Selector. WordPress 6.4+ supports PHP 8.2 and 8.3 fully and we default new installs to 8.2 for best performance. CloudLinux HardenedPHP back-ports critical security fixes to legacy PHP 7.x if you need compatibility with an older WordPress install.
Is WordPress staging included?
Yes. WP Toolkit provides one-click WordPress staging, clone, and rollback. Spin up a staging copy under a temporary URL, test plugin/theme updates safely, then push changes back to production with one click.
Do you do automatic WordPress updates?
Yes. WordPress core security releases auto-install by default. Optional automatic plugin and theme updates can be enabled per-site through WP Toolkit. Our security team also monitors WordPress, plugin, and theme vulnerability disclosures and patches server-wide before public exploits land.
What caching is used for WordPress?
Multi-layer: LiteSpeed LSCache at the edge (pre-tuned for WordPress), AccelerateWP page cache, Redis object cache for transients and sessions, MariaDB query cache, OPcache for PHP bytecode, and CloudFlare CDN for static assets. Most WordPress page requests are served from cache without touching PHP or MySQL.
Can I host multiple WordPress sites on one plan?
Yes. Unlimited WordPress sites on a single account, each with its own domain, database, and email accounts. WordPress multisite (network) installs are also supported. The 50 GB storage and 150,000 inode limit accommodate substantial multi-site setups.
Does the plan include email hosting?
Yes. Unlimited email accounts, with webmail (Roundcube), IMAP/POP3, SpamAssassin filtering, ImunifyAV scanning, and DKIM/SPF auto-configuration via cPanel.
Is CloudFlare CDN included?
Yes. Free CloudFlare CDN integration via cPanel's one-click activation. CloudFlare caches your WordPress static assets at 300+ edge locations worldwide, adds always-on DDoS protection, bot mitigation, and Brotli compression.
How fast is Ultra's WordPress hosting?
Our stack (CloudLinux + LiteSpeed + AccelerateWP + Redis + LSCache + CloudFlare) consistently delivers TTFB under 200ms and Lighthouse Performance scores above 90 on AccelerateWP-enabled sites. Independent benchmarks routinely measure 4-8x faster page loads than standard cPanel-on-Apache WordPress hosting from typical low-cost competitors.
Is the AI Coding Assistant included?
Yes. Softaculous Code with AI is included. It's an agentic AI coding assistant built directly into cPanel that can edit theme files, debug plugin conflicts, write custom hooks, refactor child themes, and run WP-CLI commands. Bring your own API key for Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any of 11 supported providers.
What is your refund policy?
Ultra WordPress hosting includes a 45-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund through the client area within 45 days of signup for a full refund on hosting. Domain registration fees are non-refundable since they're paid to the registry on your behalf.
Where are your servers located?
Our WordPress hosting servers are housed in our own datacenter with on-site staff 24/7. Hardware is Ultra-owned, not leased from a hyperscaler. Free CloudFlare CDN integration caches your static assets to 300+ edge locations worldwide so WordPress visitors get fast response times regardless of where they are.
When did Ultra start hosting WordPress?
Ultra Web Hosting has been in business since 2002. WordPress launched in May 2003 (forked from b2/cafelog), and we began offering WordPress hosting that same year. So we have 22+ years of dedicated WordPress hosting experience on top of 23+ years of general hosting experience.
WordPress, WooCommerce, BuddyPress, and 100+ more.
Softaculous ships with every plan. WordPress installs in two clicks with the right database credentials, sane defaults, and AccelerateWP auto-enabled. Same goes for WooCommerce, multisite, BuddyPress, bbPress, and 100+ other apps.
