FAQ

Web hosting questions

What's included with every hosting plan?

The essentials that other hosts charge extra for are standard here, on every tier including the entry plan. That means a free auto-renewing SSL certificate, daily automatic backups you can restore yourself, free managed migration from your old host, professional email accounts at your own domain, and the latest cPanel control panel with the Softaculous one-click installer for WordPress and 240+ other apps. Underneath, every site sits on pure NVMe SSD storage with LiteSpeed caching, modern PHP, HTTP/2 and network-level DDoS protection. Higher tiers add more storage, room for up to 100 websites and more generous CPU and memory, but nothing on the list above is ever paywalled behind an upgrade. There are no setup fees and no compulsory add-ons — and every plan renews at the same price you signed up at, so what you pay today is what you pay next year too.

How does the free domain work?

Every hosting plan includes one free domain registration for your first year. When you order any hosting package, add a new .com, .net, .org, .xyz or .info domain in the same order and its first-year registration fee is removed at checkout automatically — no code needed. A few honest details: the offer is one domain per hosting package, it applies only when the domain is ordered together with hosting (a domain bought on its own is charged normally), and after the first year the domain renews at our standard rate, which is always shown on our domain pricing page before you buy. If you already own a domain elsewhere you can simply point it at your hosting instead, or transfer it in — the free registration applies to new names. Since plans are billed annually, every hosting order qualifies — and the hosting plan itself renews at the same price you signed up at, so from year two your only extra cost is the domain's normal renewal.

Can I upgrade my plan later?

Yes, at any time, and the process is designed to be painless. Upgrades take effect instantly from inside your client area — you pick the new plan, pay only the pro-rated difference for the time left on your term, and your account keeps running throughout. There's no downtime, no need to rebuild or re-migrate your site, and no re-pointing of your domain: your files, databases, email and settings stay exactly where they are while the underlying resources increase. That means you can start on the Launch plan while your project is small and move up to Pro or Elite the moment you outgrow it, rather than over-buying capacity on day one. If your needs shrink, you can move back down at renewal just as easily. Upgrading early costs nothing extra overall, since you only ever pay for the resources you're actually on.

Is this good for WordPress?

Very — it's one of the most common things our customers run, and the stack is tuned for it. Pure NVMe SSD storage combined with LiteSpeed server-level caching makes WordPress noticeably faster than it is on ordinary shared hosting, which helps both your visitors and your Core Web Vitals scores. The Softaculous one-click installer gets a fresh, secure WordPress site running in under a minute, and the WordPress Toolkit helps you manage updates, staging and cloning without touching the command line. Free SSL means your site loads over HTTPS from the start, daily backups protect you before a risky plugin update, and modern PHP versions keep it fast and compatible. If you're moving an existing WordPress site, our free migration brings it across for you. For stores, WooCommerce runs happily on the same platform with room to grow.

Do I get email addresses with my domain?

Yes — professional email at your own domain is included with every hosting plan, at no extra cost. You can create mailboxes like you@yourdomain.com straight from cPanel, along with forwarders and autoresponders, and read your mail through webmail in any browser or connect it to Outlook, Apple Mail and your phone over IMAP. Because it uses IMAP, a message read on one device shows as read everywhere, so your inbox stays in sync. Sensible spam filtering is built in, and your domain's SPF and DKIM authentication records are set up by default so your mail is more likely to reach the inbox rather than the junk folder. The number of mailboxes you can create is generous on shared plans, so most small businesses can give every team member and role address — sales@, support@, hello@ — its own inbox without paying per user.

Get Web Hosting

The Full Picture

Picking a web host is really a bet on how a company behaves after your card is charged — whether renewal prices stay honest, whether support answers at 2am, and whether a bad plugin update can take your whole site down. This page goes deeper into those questions so you can make the call with real numbers, not marketing gloss.

Hosting Cheap plans start at $2.42/mo and are built around NVMe SSD storage with LiteSpeed, a cPanel-style panel with 1-click installers, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Below we cover the operational details — how billing, migrations and support actually work day to day — that most comparison pages skip.

Deep Dives

The details behind the promises

How renewal pricing actually works

Introductory hosting deals are common; the surprise renewal invoice is what erodes trust. Every plan here renews at the same price you sign up at — the pricing card says so before you pay, so the number on your year-two invoice is the number you already agreed to.

Pricing displays in your local currency automatically through geo-currency detection, but billing and invoices are settled in USD by Bohzo Ltd, the UK-registered company behind Hosting Cheap. That consistency matters if you're budgeting hosting costs across multiple sites or a client portfolio.

What happens during a migration

Free managed migration covers more than copying files: our team moves databases, email accounts, DNS records and cron jobs from your previous host, then checks the site loads correctly before pointing your domain over — so visitors don't see a broken page mid-transfer.

Most single-site migrations complete within a business day once you share access credentials. Larger stores or multi-domain accounts may take longer, and our team will flag that timeline up front rather than let a migration stall silently.

Support you can actually reach

24/7 human support means a real person reviews your ticket or chat message at any hour, not a bot that loops you through a script. That matters most for hosting, where an outage at 3am doesn't wait for business hours to get resolved.

Because support engineers work on the same NVMe infrastructure every day, they can look at server-level logs directly instead of asking you to reproduce a problem — which shortens the time between reporting an issue and getting a real answer.

Backups, restores and disaster recovery

Daily backups are stored separately from your live hosting account, so a compromised site or a failed server component doesn't also wipe out the copy you'd need to recover. Restores are self-serve, meaning you don't have to wait on a support ticket to roll back a bad change.

A backup strategy is only useful if you've tested a restore before you need one. New accounts are encouraged to trigger a practice restore in the first week, while the stakes are low, so the process is familiar if an emergency ever hits.

Fast website loading speed performance test

A stack picked to avoid the usual shared-hosting slowdowns

Most cheap hosting gets slow the moment real traffic or a heavy plugin arrives, because storage and caching were never the priority. NVMe SSD storage paired with LiteSpeed server caching removes that ceiling at the infrastructure level, before you touch a single setting.

Combined with modern PHP versions and HTTP/2, pages render fast enough that Core Web Vitals stay healthy without a stack of extra caching plugins fighting each other.

  • NVMe SSD storage on every plan
  • LiteSpeed caching built into the stack
  • 1-click installers for WordPress and more
  • Daily backups stored apart from live files

More FAQ

More questions, answered

Will my renewal price ever increase without warning?

No — every plan renews at the same price you sign up at, so the price you pay in year two is the price you already agreed to. There's no separate introductory-versus-renewal figure hidden in the fine print; the only later addition is the normal renewal of a bundled free domain, published on the domain pricing page.

How long does a free migration actually take?

Most single-site migrations complete within a business day once access credentials are shared. Larger stores or multi-domain accounts can take longer, and our team will let you know a realistic timeline before starting rather than leaving you guessing.

Can I restore a backup myself, or do I need to open a ticket?

Daily backups can be restored directly by you at any time, without waiting on support. Backups are stored separately from your live hosting files, so a bad update or compromised site doesn't also affect your recovery copy.

What currency am I actually billed in?

Pricing is displayed in your local currency automatically through geo-currency detection, but billing is settled in USD by Bohzo Ltd, the UK-registered company behind Hosting Cheap. This keeps invoicing consistent even though the display currency adapts to you.

Is support actually available at 3am, or just during business hours?

Support is staffed 24/7 by real engineers on chat and tickets, not an automated bot loop. Because the team works directly on the same NVMe infrastructure, they can check server-level logs immediately rather than asking you to reproduce the issue first.

What if the hosting isn't the right fit after I sign up?

Every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, giving you a full month to test real traffic, migrate your content and try the control panel before committing long-term.
