Update, October 24, 2026: hosting.com has reversed this increase. Since October 20, 2026, its plan pricing feed shows the Small plan for WordPress back at $3.49 a month on a 36-month term ($125.62 up front), $4.49 a month on a 12-month term ($53.87), and $9.99 a month on monthly billing and at renewal. The Web Hosting Price Index shows the current prices. The article below describes the October 15 change as it was published.
hosting.com has raised the price of its entry managed WordPress plan, the Small plan for WordPress. The intro price on a 36-month term went from $3.49 to $10.48 a month ($377.24 paid up front, up from $125.62), and the list price it renews at went from $9.99 to $30.00 a month. The plan pricing feed that hosting.com’s WordPress page loads shows the new prices with an update date of October 15, 2026.
The plan itself reads the same: 1 website, 20 GB NVMe storage, 100 GB bandwidth and 30,000 visitors, powered by Rocket.net. The 12-month term no longer carries a discount: it is $360.00 a year ($30.00 a month), where it was $4.49 a month before. Because the intro and renewal prices both roughly tripled, the renewal jump stays close to 2.9x.
Who this affects
Anyone buying the Small plan for WordPress from today, and anyone who priced it in the last few weeks and has not bought yet. hosting.com’s shared Starter plan did not change: it is still $1.99 a month on a 48-month term and renews at $13.99.
What to do now
- Compare the full term cost, not the monthly figure: $377.24 for 36 months is now in the range of other managed WordPress plans in our Web Hosting Price Index.
- If you already host with hosting.com, check the renewal amount on your next invoice before it bills.
