How do you compare value across hosts? The easiest way is to take their starter plan - a single site offering - and divide their total number of pageviews (the constraint) by the price (the cost) of each. This is how you get PageViews Per Dollar (PVPD).

Automatic (and Free!) SSL Certificates

Every single plan and every single site we host runs on SSL without you having to do anything. Google wants your sites to be secure. We know it. So why make you work for it? Here you don't even have to make a request. It's there already! We assign an automatic SSL certificate to every site.

Customize the WordPress Dashboard Admin

Not every user needs the full WordPress Dashboard enchilada. Perfect for clients, you can simplify the dashboard for other users for ease of use or customize and hide things from them to avoid mistakes.

Know If Your Site Goes Down with Free Uptime Monitoring

With Sync Pro’s Uptime Monitoring, you’ll get email updates if one of your sites goes down for any reason. You'll get peace of mind knowing your site is being monitored so you don’t have to.

Hosting FAQs

How do I migrate an existing WordPress website to iThemes hosting?
Migrating your site to iThemes hosting from another host only takes a few steps using our BackupBuddy plugin. For step-by-step instructions, check out this article on migrating to iThemes hosting.
I need to host more than 2 sites. Do you have additional plan options?
If you have questions about additional site plans, please contact our sales team.
Can I use a domain name I've already purchased?
Yes! The process includes updating the DNS records for your domain name. Here's more information on updating your domain name for your iThemes hosting account. We recommend using Cloudflare for this, so here are step-by-step instructions for setting your DNS records with Cloudflare. We've also collected links to DNS management for some of the most common domain name registrars.
Do I get email with my iThemes hosting plan?
At iThemes we are great at a lot of things. We develop awesome plugins and we've even started bringing those great plugins together to provide top of the line hosting services. With that said, we know it's important to recognize when others can do something better. To that end, we've decided to leave email services up to the professionals. So while we don't provide email hosting for your sites, there are a lot of great options out there for you to explore. Here's more on our recommended email providers.
Can iThemes hosting be used for WordPress staging environments?
Yes, iThemes hosting can be used for staging and development sites using the WordPress staging feature of our BackupBuddy plugin. You'll also need to buy one of the 2-site hosting plans. Here is more information on how to set up BackupBuddy deployment.
Is iThemes hosting included with a Toolkit membership?
Just like BackupBuddy Stash and Sync, iThemes hosting is a service-oriented product with additional annual costs not included with our Toolkit bundle. However, Toolkit members get a great discount not offered to anyone else on the iThemes hosting Business plan. Contact sales today if you haven't gotten your coupon.
What happens after I buy an iThemes hosting plan?
After you make your purchase, you'll receive an email with instructions for accessing your hosting plan, so be sure to use an email address for your purchase that you can access. If you don't receive an email within a few minutes of your purchase, contact our sales team.
Where do I access my iThemes hosting account?
There are two distinct areas that you will have access to with your iThemes Hosting plan. You will be given access to the iThemes Member Panel (for billing and subscription-related info) and the iThemes Sync dashboard (for iThemes hosting setup, file access and management). For both of these, you will use the same username and password combination you used to purchase your iThemes hosting plan.
Where do I get support?
Have questions? Need help? Our support team is ready to help from the iThemes Help Desk.
Hosting is the physical computer where your website resides. It’s the servers that deliver your files to your site visitors. Basically, you can’t have a website without a host. In order to use WordPress, you’ll need a Linux hosting account, which is available with most of the popular web hosting companies. For more information, check out our free ebook on How to Find Quality WordPress Hosting.

We have partnerships with three great WordPress hosting companies who offer superb hosting and are committed to our mutual customers: Liquid Web, Siteground and ClickHOST.
