What You Get

WordPress hosting

Your site runs on WordPress-optimized hosting, not a generic shared account.

Astra Pro and Elementor

The theme and page builder are included, so you are not buying licenses separately.

Automatic backups

Backups run automatically, so a bad update or a mistake is recoverable.

SSL

HTTPS is included on your site.

Caching

Server-level caching helps pages load quickly.

Month-to-month

$49 per month with no long-term commitment.

What Is Not Included
