Best for managed WordPress hosting sized by monthly visitors
BigScoots is managed WordPress hosting with plans sized by monthly visitors, free migrations and staging and backups included. It starts at $29.17 for one site, and growth in traffic moves you to a dearer plan.
Who BigScoots is for
- Fits if you run a WordPress site and want the host to handle migrations and upkeep
- Works for sites with steady traffic that fits a visitor tier
Who BigScoots is not for
- Pricey if you run one small site, at $29.17 a month for 1 site
- Tight if your traffic grows, because plans are capped by monthly visitors
- Skip it if you want to try first, as there is no free plan or trial listed
- Watch out: Essential 75 uses a CDN, and Boost starts at Essential 125
- Watch out: monthly billing is higher on every plan, with annual shown as two months free

Keep BigScoots, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace BigScoots you would be making servers kept running, patched and backed up for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 94 of the 122 other web hosts grade higher. It costs $350.04 a year.
What you could not
- Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
What this rests on. BigScoots’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is BigScoots?

- Shared hosting, VPS and dedicated servers have their own pricing, not covered by these plans.
