Full Refund, if other WordPress Hostings provide this in this price
Fastest WordPress hosting in this cheapest price range, providing the most affordable WordPress Hosting with the best features that boost SEO and never have to worry about security, backups, updates, migration and staging like technical things.
Tired of paying extra for fast hosting? Here is how you get it cheapest.
We are the fastest managed WordPress hosting in this budget, and the reason we are the fastest and the cheapest at the same time is that we chose to build our own infrastructure. Unlike other hosting systems, we do not pay for third-party software — no cPanel, no Softaculous, no bought-in object cache, no rented CDN. We built our own managed panel, we built our own ultra-fast CDN network, and every feature we ship is built on a completely open-source stack.

Built for one service, and we gave our all to make it better
After using WordPress for more than 12 years for creating multi-purpose websites — event sites, micro-niche sites and tool sites, through to larger media sites and WooCommerce stores — we know what it takes for a blogger or a content creator.
- One-click WordPress install
- Direct wp-admin login
- Automatic core, plugin & theme updates
- One-click site cloning
- One-click staging
- Migrate from your own backup
- PHP version per site
- Access WordPress with Temp URL
- Malware scanning & cleanup
Everything you need for a fast WordPress website
Automatic TLS. Staging. Cloning a site onto another domain. Building your site before you point the domain at it. And more.
Control panel
Our own panel, built around what a WordPress site actually needs rather than what a generic server needs. One-click install, a direct login to your dashboard, plugin and theme updates, logs, file manager, databases and phpMyAdmin, PHP version switching, mailboxes, backups and object caching — all of it a click away.
Ultra-fast CDN
Not resold from anyone. We built our own edge network, so there is no per-gigabyte bill on what it serves and nobody else decides what we may do with it. Every visitor is answered from the edge nearest them, and after a purge we re-warm the cache so no one pays for the first load. 12 cities mapped, 1 live so far, and we are building toward forty.
Staging
For when you need to change, test or rebuild a live site without your visitors seeing any of it. Staging makes a copy of the site on a URL of its own where you can edit, break and try things — then push it over the live site the moment it is right, or throw it away and nothing happened.
Clone
Copy a site onto another domain, files and database together. It is what agencies reach for when the next build uses the same theme, plugins, content or settings: cloning takes a moment, and setting WordPress up again from scratch takes an afternoon.
Multi-layer caching
Four layers, so a request is answered as early as it can be. The database keeps its own buffer pool, OPcache holds the compiled PHP so it is never compiled twice, Redis holds the object cache, and a full-page cache in the server itself returns finished HTML without starting PHP at all.
Temporary URL
For when your domain is not pointed at us yet. You get a working address for the site straight away, so you can build it now and move the domain when you are ready — turn it on when you need it and it switches itself off again.
All Hosting? Not Us. Just WordPress Hosting.
— the reason HostCrafter exists
Built by people who know WordPress inside out
We have more than 12 years of WordPress experience in building every kind of website like microniche, tool sites, news, blog, WooCommerce and high traffic websites, we know what it takes for SEO, ranking and high traffic websites. After doing lots of research we created the most affordable stack for a WordPress hosting.
True website isolation
Every website is dedicated to its own user, own database and its own PHP worker and allocated CPU and RAM, so one compromised site can not affect other website, also busy traffic sites can not take another websites resources. We have isolated each account to its own resources and space that can not affect another website or account, and also keeping proper ceiling so sudden traffic or spikes websites do not bother other websites at all.
Managed cron
Cron is important in WordPress, needed mostly for publishing scheduled posts, plugin tasks, WooCommerce order and status updates and auto backups. But WordPress cron does not run on a clock like server cron — it only checks whether a task is due when someone visits the website, so low traffic sites can delay for cron and it takes resources. So we have disabled wp-cron and run a managed cron every 5 min, whether you get a visitor or not.
Blocks unnatural traffic
Attackers use scanning tools to scan a website for its exploitable endpoints and sensitive information, it also hammer the website and can make a site slow if not prevented. Our security feature protect your websites from this kind of attacks, so unnatural traffic and attacks can not make your website slow.
You talk to us, not AI
We do not use AI in live chat rather our WordPress specialist team handle your query. We try to solve your all query on live chat while you are with us, from any WordPress related question to migrate a website we do all the things on live chat, just type your query and let us handle it.
PHP version switchable per website
We provide PHP version 8.1 to latest 8.5 which you can switch for all websites or for any particular websites. Also enable disable some additionally given PHP extensions like imagick, soap, ioncube that you can switch. Multiple websites, each on a different PHP version.
We move your website. You stay online while we do it.
Two ways in, both free, and neither one takes your site offline. The only thing you are choosing is who does the work.

We move your site here
Inside 24 hoursBased on the login details or backup files you gave us, we move your website from your old host to HostCrafter — and in this entire process your website stays entirely online and live.

You
Check it, then change the DNS
When you sayAfter the migration is completed we will let you know. Before changing the DNS we suggest you check your migrated website using the temp URL, and if everything works then change the DNS. There are three ways to connect your domain: your existing DNS service like Cloudflare, our nameservers, or the CNAME given in the control panel — which is how you use our CDN while staying on Cloudflare.
We take care of your website. Tell us if your site is broken or has malware in it and we will fix it as part of the migration process — we handle themes, plugins and all kinds of technical WordPress things.
No ticket, no queue

You
Take a backup, or use an existing one
Where you are nowTake a backup of your site using any of the plugins — UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator, BackWPup — or just a zip of the files and an SQL export.
-
You
Open Quick Migration from the control panel
1–2 minutesFrom the control panel click Quick Migration, select or add the domain you want to migrate, then select the type of backup you are holding. Upload the backup file — .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .gz, .sql, .sql.gz, .wpress and .daf are all accepted — and click Migrate. It usually takes 1–2 minutes, and longer for larger sites.
-
You
Change the DNS
When you sayOnce the migration is done, before changing the DNS we suggest you check the website using the temp URL. If everything works, you have one last job: change the DNS. For Cloudflare or your existing DNS provider use the IP or the CNAME we give you, or you can use our nameservers instead.
If it stops halfway, tell us in live chat and we will help you complete it.
There is a person here, and they know WordPress
Not a call centre reading a script. Whoever answers you can also log into the server your site is on. English or Hindi.
Live chat 10:00 AM – 12:00 midnight IST
Ask a questionQuestions people ask before they move
If yours is not here, ask on live chat. You will get a person.
Do you have any hidden fees?
No, we don't. The price you see is exactly what you pay. Zero setup fees, no hidden charges, and we do not charge extra when you renew. What you see is what you get.
How fast is the migration, and will my site go down?
Most sites are moved inside 24 hours, and a simple blog is often a few hours. Your current site stays online the whole time — we build the copy here first and you only change the DNS at the end, once you have looked at it and you are happy.
Is this cPanel?
No. We built our own panel for WordPress specifically. You get a file manager, phpMyAdmin, email accounts, SSL controls, staging, backups, PHP version switching and a one-click login into your WP dashboard. What you do not get is a control panel built for a different decade with two hundred icons you will never press.
Can I upgrade or downgrade later?
Yes. Moving up a plan takes effect on the same account — your sites stay where they are and the limits change. Moving down works the same way, as long as what you are using fits inside the smaller plan.
What is your backup policy?
Every website is backed up nightly and kept for 14 or 30 days depending on the plan. You can also take a backup yourself before you do something risky, and restore any of them from the panel without asking us.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. Seven days, no questions. If you are not happy with the plan you are on, tell us inside seven days and we refund the payment.
Can I host something that is not WordPress?
The platform is built for WordPress and tuned for it, and that is what we support. If you need a general-purpose host that will run anything you upload, we are honestly not the right choice — and we would rather say so here than after you have paid.
What is included in support?
Anything hosting-related: server problems, WordPress installs, domain and DNS setup, SSL, email, databases, and cleaning up malware if it ever gets in. Live chat is open 10:00 AM to midnight IST, and tickets are answered within an hour.
Move it across and see for yourself
We do the migration, you keep the old host running until you are happy, and you have seven days to change your mind after that.
