Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

1.6

GPA, above 1 of the 54 other web hosts we grade

Pressidium sells managed WordPress hosting in four families: entry plans for 1 to 8 sites, agency plans for up to 40 sites, premium single-site plans and enterprise setups. Every plan lists a global edge platform with caching, load balancing and a firewall, free migrations, staging sites and 24/7 support from DevOps engineers. Plans are sized by sites, storage and monthly visits.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Pressidium, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Migrations are included, but you still run a WordPress site and its plugins.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for managed WordPress hosting with 24/7 engineers

    There's no free plan or trial, entry plans are sized by visits, and extra sites and extra CDN traffic are billed on top.

  2. 2

    Paid plans start at $25 a month

    As its pricing page puts it: $25 per month (Starter, 1 WordPress site, billed monthly).

  4. 4

    Pressidium EDGE

    The platform lists global edge caching, load balancing and a managed web application firewall, with an HTTP/3 enterprise CDN the page says is backed by Akamai.

  5. 5

    Free migrations

    Each entry plan includes free migrations equal to its site count, from 1 on Starter to 8 on Advanced.

  6. 6

    Backups and staging

    Automated backups keep 30 days of history, and on-demand backups and a staging environment are listed on the entry plans.

  7. 7

    A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 54

    That is against the other web hosts we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  8. 8

    Keep it

    To replace Pressidium 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.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Pressidium 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: 46 of the 54 other web hosts grade higher. It costs $300 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. Pressidium’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.
