# Best WordPress hosting

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/stacks/wordpress/

PHP content management system that requires a database and persistent filesystem for uploads and plugins.

4 providers on this site publish their own WordPress documentation. Ordered by how they document it — a dedicated guide first, a generic path second. There is no score: the ordering is the evidence.

## Where you can deploy it

| Provider | Documented | Deployment | Entry paid plan |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Fly.io | Dedicated guide | Docker | Not documented |
| Kinsta | Dedicated guide | — | $35/month for the entry single-site plan (first month $0, then $35/month); $30/month if paid annually. |
| Render | Dedicated guide | Git · Docker | Not documented |
| WP Engine | Dedicated guide | Git | Starting at $28.00/month for the Managed Hosting Platform, quoted in USD; $336.00 if billed annually. On 14 September 2026 the same URL also served a euro-priced variant at €25.60/month, to roughly one request in eight; thirty consecutive samples on 15 September returned only the dollar-priced body, so that behaviour is recorded as observed and not as current. |
