Cloud86 WordPress hosting

Cloud86 WordPress plans: Start, Medium and Power

Start is the entry tier, designed for smaller setups and supporting up to two websites. It includes SSD storage, email accounts and databases. Choose it for a personal site or a small business website that does not need room for multiple installations.

Medium raises the allowances and supports up to five websites, making it a more practical fit for a small portfolio or several business sites. Power increases capacity again, supporting up to ten websites and offering the largest storage, email and database allowances in the range. It is the tier to consider when you manage more sites or need additional storage. Cloud86 lists all three plans as suitable for WooCommerce and advertises unlimited traffic, subject to its shared-hosting fair-use policy.

What stands out in Cloud86’s WordPress hosting

These are managed WordPress plans, not unmanaged shared hosting. Cloud86 manages the servers and says the environment is configured for WordPress. The Plesk control panel includes WordPress Toolkit for installation, site management, staging, cloning and update automation. You can use the tool to automate core, theme and plugin updates; Cloud86 does not say that every update is applied automatically by default.

Cloud86 lists LiteSpeed Web Server, LiteSpeed Cache, Redis caching and QUIC.cloud CDN. Automatic backups and restore tools are included, with backups retained for seven days. Cloud86’s product page describes backups every 12 hours, while its help-centre guidance describes daily backups, so the published schedule is inconsistent.

Other listed safeguards include free SSL, weekly malware scans, a web application firewall, anti-bot protection and two-factor authentication for Cloud86 accounts and Plesk. Cloud86 advertises free migration and premium WordPress support for issues such as slow pages, plugin conflicts, caching and recovery. It also advertises 24/7 chat, but its help centre identifies the always-available chat as an AI assistant; round-the-clock human chat support is not confirmed. The hosting is in Cloud86’s Netherlands data centres, with no other location confirmed for these plans.

Cloud86 WordPress prices, terms and renewals

The cheapest plan currently starts at $8.92. Cloud86 offers monthly, annual and multi-year billing. Longer initial terms are promoted with a lower introductory rate, but that rate applies only to the first term; plans renew at the standard monthly rate afterward. Cloud86 says its monthly option can be cancelled at any time, and advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check the applicable cancellation process and guarantee conditions before ordering.

How Cloud86 compares with other WordPress hosts
