No paywalled essentials. Sandbox or Elite, you get the full developer toolkit.
Only pay for what you keep.
Every site bills at its tier's daily rate. We total it across all your sites and charge your card once a month. No surprises, no annual prepay.
- Mix tiers freely: a $5 brochure next to a $25 store, each billed for what it is.
- Change tiers any day: billing prorates from that day, up or down.
- Cut a site's cost anytime by parking it as a $2 sandbox, or delete it to stop billing entirely.
Three live sites, one parked cheap. Park to $2 or delete to change the bill. Pausing alone keeps a site on its tier and still bills.
Running ~10 client sites? A typical mix (5 × Starter + 3 × Plus + 2 × Turbo) runs about $102/mo. Park or delete any of them any day to change it.

Is InstaWP managed WordPress hosting?
Yes. Every production site runs on fully managed WordPress hosting: a managed web-application firewall with bot and DDoS protection, a global edge CDN, automatic off-site backups with one-click restore, uptime monitoring, automated plugin and theme updates, and free zero-downtime migration in. The difference from traditional managed hosts is the pricing model: plans are $5–$45/mo per site, billed daily, with no annual contract and no minimums, instead of a fixed monthly bundle of sites.
How does billing actually work?
Per site, per day. Each site bills at its tier's daily rate. We total it across all your sites and charge your card once a month. Change a tier any day and it prorates from that day. No minimums, setup fees, or cancellation fees.
Can I pause a site to stop paying?
Pausing takes a site offline while keeping its data intact, but a paused site stays on its tier and is still billed. To cut a site's cost, downgrade it to the $2 sandbox tier; to stop billing entirely, delete it.
What's the difference between Sandbox and Production?
Sandbox ($2/mo) is for dev work, staging, and client builds: same WordPress, same SSH and WP-CLI. Production ($5–$45/mo) adds Premium CDN, automated backups, Advanced Shield, and more resources. Convert any sandbox to production in one click, no migration.
What happens when I convert a sandbox to production?
It’s an in-place plan change: same site, same URL, your data and SSH keys intact, no migration. Billing switches from $2/mo to your chosen tier’s daily rate from that day, prorated. Until you convert, a sandbox stays $2/mo for as long as you keep it.
Do I need a credit card to start?
Creating an account is free. A card is required to spin up a site, and adding one unlocks $25 in credits to put toward your sites.
Is there a free trial or money-back guarantee?
There is no time-limited trial, because you do not need one. Adding a card unlocks $25 in credits to put toward real sites, and every production plan is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. Sites bill by the day with no contract, so you can also run one for a few days and stop.
What support do I get, and is uptime monitored?
Real humans on every plan, not bot tiers or slow ticket queues, and they know WordPress, hosting and migrations hands-on. Uptime and SSL monitoring is built in with InstaWP site management: multi-region checks with response-time history, plus email and Slack alerts.
Are there annual contracts or minimums?
No. Every site is billed daily and you can cancel any site any day. If you'd prefer to commit annually for a discount, talk to us: we offer up to 10% off for paid-upfront years on Plus and above.
Is migration really free?
Yes, migrating into InstaWP is free and zero-downtime, across 20+ hosts. The only migration we charge for is moving a site off the platform later.
Worth it, in their words.
