Ultra is a certified partner with Weebly and includes their drag-and-drop site builder with every hosting plan. Weebly makes it easy to build a professional looking website right from your web browser with photos, galleries, slide shows, contact forms and more. All Weebly sites are fully responsive and mobile-friendly, which is critical since the majority of web traffic now comes from phones and tablets. With Weebly and Ultra Web Hosting, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a designer to get a great looking website. You can build one yourself in less than an hour.
More information on our Weebly site builder, including templates and a Weebly specific plan, may be found here.
Softaculous Auto-Installer
All of Ultra's shared hosting plans include Softaculous, the leading one-click application installer. Softaculous lets you install over 400 popular web applications including WordPress, Joomla, Magento, WooCommerce, phpBB, Drupal and many more with a single click. No manual file uploads, no database configuration, no guesswork. Softaculous also handles updates and backups, and will notify you when an installed application has a new version available. Keeping your scripts up to date is one of the most important things you can do for website security, and Softaculous makes it painless.
CloudLinux
Stability and performance. As a CloudLinux certified partner we run CloudLinux on all of our shared and reseller servers. What this means is a lightweight, fast environment with improved stability, density and security isolating accounts from others on the server. Each hosting account runs inside its own CageFS container with dedicated resource limits (LVE), so no single account can affect overall server performance. This also protects your files from being accessed by compromised accounts on the same server. With nginx reverse proxy, OPcache and Redis object caching integrated alongside CloudLinux, websites load fast. With HardenedPHP, PHP versions are patched against known vulnerabilities before official fixes are even released, providing additional security to your website.
Cloudflare CDN
As an optimized hosting partner, Ultra Web Hosting provides easy one-click integration with Cloudflare at no extra cost. Cloudflare is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches your website across data centers worldwide, so visitors load your pages from the server closest to them. This speeds up page load times, reduces the load on your hosting server, and improves your site's availability. Cloudflare also provides built-in DDoS protection, bot mitigation, and a web application firewall that blocks common threats before they ever reach your website. Setting it up takes just a few clicks from your cPanel dashboard.
Marketing Tools
With every new hosting account Ultra provides advertising credits for Google and Bing to help you get started with paid search. We also include SEO tools and resources to help your website rank better in search engines organically. Getting your website noticed takes effort, but having the right tools from day one makes a big difference. Whether you are running a local business that needs to show up in Google Maps or an online store trying to drive traffic, the marketing package included with your hosting gives you a head start.
Free Website Migration
With any hosting order of one year or greater, Ultra will transfer your existing website to our platform for free. We can also transfer most domain registrations so you can manage everything through one interface. To get started, just submit a support ticket after placing your order and include your previous hosting provider's login details. Our migration team will transfer your files, databases and email accounts, then configure everything to run optimally on our servers. Of course, you are also welcome to transfer your content yourself through FTP or the cPanel file manager.
Powerful Servers
Ultra's rack servers feature Intel Xeon processors, 64GB+ of RAM, dual redundant power feeds and SSD storage arrays, all connected to a high-speed backbone powered by Cisco networking hardware. Unlike most hosting providers who resell infrastructure from third-party data centers, Ultra owns and operates all of its servers in-house with staff on-site at the datacenter. If a server ever has a hardware issue, our team can swap components immediately without waiting in a third-party support queue. That direct access to hardware is something most hosts simply cannot offer.
On-site Support
Ultra runs a stable environment with very little to no downtime. Our office is on-site at our data center, which means faster response times when website or server issues come up. We have been hosting websites since 2002 and our team has the knowledge and hands-on experience to quickly resolve almost any hosting issue. With tens of thousands of clients over the years, we have dealt with just about everything. We are webmasters ourselves, and hosting is what we do. Ultra has grown alongside the web itself, from the early days of Perl CGI scripts through to modern PHP frameworks, Node.js, and responsive design. With hundreds of client testimonials and numerous industry awards, there is no reason not to give Ultra a try.
Shared Web Hosting Made Easy and Affordable Shared Hosting Plans Starting at $3.95 a Month
Ultra gives you everything you need to get a website online quickly and keep it running smoothly. Every shared hosting plan includes a free SSL certificate, the cPanel control panel, one-click WordPress installation through Softaculous, and a drag-and-drop Weebly site builder. Our servers are built in-house with Intel Xeon processors, SSD storage, multi-terabyte drive arrays, dual power supplies and 64GB+ of RAM. Need a specific PHP version? You can switch between PHP versions right from your control panel and customize modules to match your application. We also include Redis object caching, OPcache, and one-click Cloudflare CDN integration at no extra cost so your pages load fast for visitors around the world.
What Is Shared Web Hosting? A Powerful Starting Point for Any Website
Shared web hosting is a type of web hosting service where multiple websites are stored on a single physical server and share its resources like CPU, memory and disk space. It is the most popular and affordable way to host a website, and it works great for personal sites, blogs, small business websites, portfolios and online stores that are just getting started.
The word "shared" sometimes scares people off, but it shouldn't. At Ultra, every shared hosting account runs inside its own CloudLinux CageFS container. That means your website is isolated from everyone else on the server. If another account gets a traffic spike or runs a bad script, it does not affect your site's performance or security. You get your own allocated CPU and RAM resources, your own file system, and your own PHP environment. It is shared hardware with dedicated-style isolation.
Most websites simply do not need a full dedicated server or VPS. If you are running a WordPress blog, a business website, or even a busy WooCommerce store, shared hosting gives you everything you need at a price that makes sense. And when you do outgrow shared hosting, upgrading to a VPS or dedicated server with Ultra is straightforward.
What's Included With Every Shared Hosting Plan No Hidden Fees, No Surprises
Free SSL Certificate
Every hosting account comes with a free SSL certificate that is automatically installed on your domain. Your visitors will see the padlock icon and https:// in their browser, and search engines like Google give preference to SSL-secured websites in their rankings.
SSD Storage and Redis Caching
All hosting plans run on fast solid state drives for quick file access and database queries. Combined with Redis object caching, OPcache for PHP, and optional Cloudflare CDN integration, your website loads quickly for visitors no matter where they are located.
CloudLinux Account Isolation
As a CloudLinux certified partner, Ultra runs CloudLinux on every shared and reseller server. Each account is sandboxed inside CageFS with its own resource limits, so no single website can bring down the server or access another account's files. HardenedPHP patches known vulnerabilities before official fixes are even released.
cPanel Control Panel
Manage your website, email accounts, databases, file manager, DNS records, SSL certificates and PHP settings all from one place. cPanel is the industry standard hosting control panel used by millions of websites. If you have used hosting before, you already know your way around it.
One-Click WordPress and 400+ Apps
Install WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento, phpBB and hundreds of other popular web applications in a single click through Softaculous. It handles installation, updates and backups so you can focus on building your site instead of managing server software.
Unlimited Email Accounts
Create as many email addresses as you need on your domain. Set up forwarding, autoresponders, mailing lists and spam filtering right from cPanel. Your email runs on the same reliable infrastructure as your website with full IMAP, POP3 and webmail access.
Free Website Migration
Switching from another host? With any annual hosting order, Ultra will migrate your website for free. Just submit a support ticket with your previous host's details and our migration team will transfer your files, databases and email accounts to get you up and running on our platform.
Developer Friendly
Choose from multiple PHP versions and customize your php.ini settings directly in cPanel. We support IonCube Loader, MariaDB databases, SSH access, Git, Perl, Python, cron jobs and .htaccess customization. Whether you are building a simple WordPress site or a custom PHP application, you have the tools you need.
Why Choose Ultra Over Other Hosting Providers? We Own Our Servers. We Answer Our Phones. We Have Since 2002.
A lot of hosting companies are just reselling servers from Amazon, Google Cloud, or some other third-party data center. Ultra is different. We own and operate our own hardware in our own datacenter in the Seattle, Washington area, and our support staff works on-site. When a hard drive fails or a server needs attention, we do not open a ticket with a third party and wait. We walk over and fix it. That kind of direct access to hardware means faster response times and fewer headaches for you.
We have been doing this since 2002. That is over two decades of hosting experience, and we have seen just about every kind of website issue you can imagine. Our support team are real people based in the US who actually understand hosting and are available 24/7/365 by live chat and ticket. We are not going to hand you off to a chatbot or read from a script.
We also stand behind our pricing. Ultra offers a price guarantee so you will never see a surprise rate hike at renewal, plus a 45-day money-back guarantee that gives you more time than most hosts to make sure we are the right fit. And we are a certified green hosting provider, because running a responsible business matters to us.
Our Technology Stack What Powers Your Hosting Account Behind the Scenes
Under the hood, Ultra shared hosting runs on a carefully tuned stack designed for speed, stability and security. Our web servers use Apache 2.4 with an nginx reverse proxy to serve static content quickly while handling dynamic PHP requests efficiently. Every server runs CloudLinux with CageFS and LVE resource containers, giving each account its own isolated environment with guaranteed CPU, memory and I/O resources.
For databases, we run MariaDB with optimized configurations for shared hosting workloads. PHP processing is handled by LSAPI (LiteSpeed Server API) which is significantly faster than older methods like suPHP or standard CGI. Imunify360 provides real-time malware scanning and intrusion detection across the entire server fleet, and ModSecurity with the OWASP Core Rule Set protects against common web application attacks.
All of this runs on Dell rack servers with Xeon processors, 64GB+ RAM, SSD storage arrays, dual redundant power feeds, and a backbone powered by Cisco networking hardware. It is enterprise-grade infrastructure at shared hosting prices.

Before I was with Ultra Web Hosting, my website and mySQL load times were horrible. Users complained of 30+ seconds of loading. After my move, my website loads up after 2 – 3 seconds, and all my users are happy. Customer service is also top notch, and I can’t beat the price. I highly recommend having your web site here.

I contacted Ultra Web Hosting for customer service issues and my representative, David, went above and beyond to fix the issues I was having!

I am a Ultra Webhosting customer since many years now. Luckily you don't need customer support very often, but if you do have a problem the support you get is great. It took just 28 minutes from the moment I got the mail with the support ticket number till the mail explaining me everything was working again!
