How We Rank
We include hosts whose WordPress plans use cPanel, take each host's lowest-priced plan, and rank by 5-year cost including renewals.
Prices come from each host's own pricing page and are in USD, before tax. They change often, so confirm the current price before you buy. Rankings are calculated from these numbers alone. We may earn a commission from some links; see ouraffiliate disclosure.
FAQ
Do all WordPress hosts use cPanel?
No. Many hosts, including Hostinger, SiteGround, and most managed WordPress hosts, use their own dashboards instead.
