Introducing… Unlimited!

50+ WordPress sites on one managed server for $15/mo

Before I begin, I want to take you back to the dawn of shared web hosting – specifically, the birth of the revolutionary and wonderful cPanel and WHM.

And I have a confession to make: without cPanel (and, specifically, Fantastico) I genuinely don’t think I’d be here writing this now. The ability it gave people to play with open source tech on a $7/mo slice of a server was… spectacular.

I used WHM to build the first Edublogs Campus back in 2007 (now CampusPress) and I’m still slightly amazed that it existed.

And for a long time, platforms like that (and their derivatives) have been the basis for pretty much every successful shared – and therefore very low-cost – WordPress hosting service since then.

Until today. Because we’ve made a better mousetrap 🙂

Introducing: WPMU DEV Unlimited

A new way to run a lot of WordPress sites on a premium managed hosting platform – without paying “managed hosting pricing” per site.

Here’s how it works:

• Over the last 6 years, we’ve built the most feature-rich, efficient and elegant managed WordPress hosting platform you could imagine.
• It sits on top of high-performance Virtual Machines (VMs) powered by 3GHz+ Intel Xeon processors and next-gen NVMe SSD storage, so you can get the full premium managed WP experience for a fraction of the cost – and the ability to easily scale up as your needs grow.
• And now we’ve adapted that platform so you can split a VM into as many WordPress sites as you want, while still retaining the full WPMU DEV hosting stack.

We’re calling it Unlimited.

The entry plan: Alpha Mμ (yes, we’ve brought back the MU 🎉)

For $15/mo you get a high performance machine with:

• 1GB dedicated RAM
• 1 vCPU powered by high-frequency 3GHz+ Intel Xeon processors
• 32GB NVMe SSD storage

Alongside our system storage requirements, that’s typically enough for 50+ cached portfolio/brochure sites (traffic dependent), each running in a fully managed WordPress environment with all the tools and tricks you want.

Or: 1 decent WooCommerce site and, I dunno, 20 portfolio sites on the side 😀

Hey – it’s up to you.

The important thing is this: it’s there for you to do with as you please. Make of it what you will.

Why this isn’t “standard shared hosting”

If you’re thinking: “Hang on… 50+ sites for $15/mo sounds like old-school shared hosting”… I get it.

But Unlimited isn’t a bargain-basement cPanel box with noisy neighbors, mystery limits, and “best effort” performance. It is powered by the same platform behind WPMU DEV Hosting, offering the same powerful features and optimized to host unlimited WordPress sites on private, dedicated resources – which means you’re getting managed WordPress hosting, not “shared hosting with a WordPress installer.”

Simply put, you have full control over what sites are hosting.

Performance + stability (the stuff that keeps sites fast)

You get the platform-level performance stack (not something you’re duct-taping together with plugins), including things like caching, a tuned server environment, and the kind of infrastructure decisions that stop one site dragging everything else down.

Plus (as we may have already mentioned, but it deserves saying again!) your sites are running on state of the art high-performance hardware, including 3GHz+ Intel Xeon processors and next-gen NVMe SSD storage.

Security that’s on by default

This is a big one. Standard shared hosting tends to put the burden on you: install security plugins, configure them correctly, keep them updated, hope nothing breaks.

Unlimited flips that: security is part of the platform – the same approach we use across our managed hosting.

Backups you can trust (and restores that don’t ruin your day)

Automatic backups, offsite storage, simple restores – the kind of safety net you want before you need it.

Workflow tools for people who manage lots of sites

Staging, cloning, templates, Multisite support, WooCommerce readiness, and dev-friendly tools – the stuff agencies and freelancers actually rely on.

Everything managed in The Hub

This is the “unfair advantage” when you’re running lots of sites: updates, monitoring, reporting, alerts, and site management – from one place.

That’s the point of Unlimited: you’re not trading quality for price. You’re getting the full managed platform, but with the flexibility to host multiple sites on a single server plan.

And when a site grows… just spin it off

Now here’s where it gets fun.

If one of your sites needs more resources, just spin it off to a new Dedicated server. Easy. Use our migration tools or let our support team handle the move for you.

No messy migrations, no rebuilding environments, no “please support, can you move my site to a different node.”

Unlimited is your “many sites” plan. Dedicated is your “this one is taking off” plan. Use both as needed.

No long contracts. No renewal shocks.

Plus – unlike pretty much every other provider – you don’t need to pay for 48 months up front.

We go month by month.

You won’t get hit by a renewal that’s suddenly 4x the price once you’re locked in. And if you cancel a server halfway through the month… we’ll pro-rata refund you.

Try it. If you don’t like it, you get your money back.

Don’t believe us? Try it out – and if you don’t love it, we’ll refund you. No questions asked 🙂

One catch…

Unlimited is only available to WPMU DEV Premium members.

So if you’re already a Premium member – congrats, this is for you. And if not, why not give us a try (and remember: if you don’t love it, we’ll refund you, no questions asked).

Welcome to the next generation of WordPress hosting.

We think you’re going to love it.
