To compare the best web hosts, we hosted the same WordPress website on each one and tested performance, customer service, and value for money. Check out the results here.
WPX Hosting was founded in 2013 by Terry Kyle who has very extensive experience in web hosting. The service has a presence in the U.S., U.K., and Australia, and the website is available in English.
Features and Ease of Use
WPX offers an impressive amount of resources in its shared hosting plans
WPX Hosting services always include:
- Unlimited website migrations
- Unlimited free SSL certificates
- Manual backups and 28-day automatic backups
- 99.95% uptime guarantee
- High-speed custom CDN
- 30-day money-back guarantee
There are three plans in the web hosting packages. The starter plan offers 15GB storage space, 200GB bandwidth, and can host up to five websites. These are good entry-level specifications, especially the multi-website hosting, and considerable disk space and bandwidth which can accommodate a high level of traffic.
These specs can be further upgraded up to 60GB storage space, infinite bandwidth, and hosting for up to 35 websites. This plan is great but would be even better if it came with unlimited storage space.
All plans have DDoS protection, both manual and automatic backups, and malware scanning and removal to ensure that your data and online protection is taken care of. Both beginners and expert webmasters are bound to enjoy the custom-built user admin panel which is fast, easy, and tutorial-driven. Additionally, the one-click WordPress installer further ensures that you have an easy time installing WordPress on your blog or website.
Pricing and Support
I found WPX live chat support both quick and helpful.
WPX Hosting offers web hosting packages that exceed the average hosting standards in terms of price. While they provide generous storage space and the ability to host multiple websites, the packages are still considered expensive. It would have been better if the package included unlimited disk space and a free domain name, as this would have justified the pricing more effectively.
On the upside, however, the hosting package includes free unlimited SSL certificates and also has a 30-day money-back guarantee. This way you can take the hosting for a test drive before making any serious commitments. Furthermore, it’s also great that free unlimited website migration services are provided and can be done within 24 hours. Even if you aren’t new to the tech world, this gives you ample time to focus more on your online project rather than on the technical aspects of website transfer.
With WPX Hosting’s web hosting plans, you can choose between monthly and yearly billing cycles with the yearly cycle offering discounted prices. These can be paid via PayPal and credit cards only.
For self-support, consider using the very detailed and broad knowledge base.
Alternatively, this vendor offers 24/7 fast response support. I went ahead and tested if this claim was true by using the live chat to ask my questions and indeed, they were super responsive. In my case, it took only a second for an agent to join the chat room. Apart from live chats, customer support is also handled through tickets.
