Pressable vs Raidboxes (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Pressable if

• Fits if you host lots of client WordPress sites under one account
• Works for developers who manage hosting through an API or an AI tool

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want email included, as it's a paid add-on
• Skip it if you want to try before you pay, as there's no free trial, only a 30-day refund
• Pricey if traffic climbs, at $1.20 per 1,000 visits and $1 per GB over the plan
• Skip it if you host anything other than WordPress
• Pricey if you need dedicated capacity, as Premium starts at $350 a month through sales

Pick Raidboxes if

• Fits if you want managed WordPress and can work in euros
• Works for agencies with a few sites

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you run several sites, as each plan covers one WordPress install
• Watch out: prices exclude 19% VAT, and domains and email are paid add-ons
• Tight if you need late support, as chat runs 8:00 to 22:00
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as it has only a trial

Pressable

• Visits and storage beyond the plan are billed at $1.20 per 1,000 visits and $1 per GB.
• Email at your domain is a paid add-on (Professional Email), not part of the hosting plan.
• It hosts WordPress only, and the Premium plans start at $350 a month through sales.
• New plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee; there is no free trial.

Raidboxes

• Prices are in euros and exclude 19% VAT.
• Each plan covers one WordPress installation; the site lists bulk pricing for more.
• Domains and email are add-ons, and support chat runs 8:00 to 22:00 rather than around the clock.
• The Mini plan has 5 GB of SSD storage and a 128 MB PHP memory limit.

Pressable

Staging and sandbox sites

Dedicated PHP workers

Each site gets 5 dedicated PHP workers with 512 MB of memory each, plus burst capacity, edge caching and a global CDN.

API and MCP server
