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.<\/p>\n
And I have a confession to make: without cPanel (and, specifically, Fantastico) I genuinely don\u2019t think I\u2019d 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\u2026 spectacular.<\/p>\n
I used WHM to build the first Edublogs Campus back in 2007 (now CampusPress) and I\u2019m still slightly amazed that it existed.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Until today. Because we\u2019ve made a better mousetrap \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
A new way to run a lot of WordPress sites on a premium managed hosting platform – without paying \u201cmanaged hosting pricing\u201d per site.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n
We\u2019re calling it Unlimited<\/strong><\/u>.<\/p>\n For $15\/mo you get a high performance machine with:<\/p>\n Alongside our system storage requirements, that\u2019s typically enough for 50+ cached portfolio\/brochure sites<\/strong> (traffic dependent), each running in a fully managed WordPress environment with all the tools and tricks you want.<\/p>\n Or: 1 decent WooCommerce site<\/strong> and, I dunno, 20 portfolio sites on the side<\/strong> \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n Hey – it\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n The important thing is this: it\u2019s there for you to do with as you please<\/strong>. Make of it what you will.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re thinking: \u201cHang on\u2026 50+ sites for $15\/mo sounds like old-school shared hosting\u201d\u2026 I get it.<\/p>\n But Unlimited isn\u2019t a bargain-basement cPanel box with noisy neighbors, mystery limits, and \u201cbest effort\u201d performance. It is powered by the same platform behind WPMU DEV Hosting<\/strong>, offering the same powerful features and optimized to host unlimited WordPress sites on private, dedicated resources – which means you\u2019re getting managed WordPress hosting<\/strong>, not \u201cshared hosting with a WordPress installer.\u201d<\/p>\n Simply put, you have full control over what sites are hosting.<\/p>\n You get the platform-level performance stack (not something you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Unlimited flips that: security is part of the platform – the same approach we use across our managed hosting.<\/p>\n Automatic backups, offsite storage, simple restores – the kind of safety net you want before you need it.<\/p>\n Staging, cloning, templates, Multisite support, WooCommerce readiness, and dev-friendly tools – the stuff agencies and freelancers actually rely on.<\/p>\n This is the \u201cunfair advantage\u201d when you\u2019re running lots of sites: updates, monitoring, reporting, alerts, and site management – from one place.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the point of Unlimited:<\/strong> you\u2019re not trading quality for price. You\u2019re getting the full managed platform<\/strong>, but with the flexibility to host multiple sites on a single server plan.<\/p>\n Now here\u2019s where it gets fun.<\/p>\n If one of your sites needs more resources, just spin it off to a new Dedicated server<\/strong>. Easy. Use our migration tools or let our support team handle the move for you.<\/p>\n No messy migrations, no rebuilding environments, no \u201cplease support, can you move my site to a different node.\u201d<\/p>\n Unlimited is your \u201cmany sites\u201d plan. Dedicated is your \u201cthis one is taking off\u201d plan. Use both as needed.<\/p>\n Plus – unlike pretty much every other provider – you don\u2019t need to pay for 48 months up front.<\/p>\n We go month by month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You won\u2019t get hit by a renewal that\u2019s suddenly 4x the price once you\u2019re locked in. And if you cancel a server halfway through the month\u2026 we\u2019ll pro-rata refund you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t believe us? Try it out – and if you don\u2019t love it, we\u2019ll refund you. No questions asked \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Unlimited is only available to WPMU DEV Premium members<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re already a Premium member – congrats, this is for you. And if not, why not give us a try (and remember: if you don\u2019t love it, we\u2019ll refund you, no questions asked).<\/p>\n Welcome to the next generation of WordPress hosting.<\/p>\n We think you\u2019re going to love it.<\/p>\n WPMU DEV Premium Members can get started here<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe entry plan: Alpha M\u03bc (yes, we\u2019ve brought back the MU \ud83c\udf89)<\/h3>\n

Why this isn\u2019t \u201cstandard shared hosting\u201d<\/h2>\n
Performance + stability (the stuff that keeps sites fast)<\/h3>\n
Security that\u2019s on by default<\/h3>\n
Backups you can trust (and restores that don\u2019t ruin your day)<\/h3>\n
Workflow tools for people who manage lots of sites<\/h3>\n
Everything managed in The Hub<\/h3>\n
And when a site grows\u2026 just spin it off<\/h2>\n
No long contracts. No renewal shocks.<\/h3>\n
Try it. If you don\u2019t like it, you get your money back.<\/h3>\n
One catch\u2026<\/h3>\n
