Prices are taken from the providers' pricing pages on the check date, per month, without prepayment discounts; rubles and euros are converted to US dollars at the official rate (Central Bank of Russia and ECB respectively). Our price is the step from the list above, with the server in the Netherlands. Resources don't match one to one: where another provider gives more of a resource, the row says so. Providers change their prices; the current price is on their site, linked in each row.

Why these resources

Minimums come from the apps' official requirements; our estimates are marked.

01Personal blog1 vCPU · 1 GB · 10 GB
WordPress, PHP-FPM with 2–3 workers and MariaDB fit into 1 GB; Ghost officially requires a server with at least 1 GB of memory. WordPress doesn't state memory or disk in its requirements.
- WordPress requirements
- Ghost on Ubuntu
02Company website1 vCPU · 2 GB · 20 GB · estimate
Spare memory for caching and form plugins, a media library of up to 10 GB.
03WooCommerce store2 vCPU · 3 GB · 30 GB · estimate
WooCommerce asks for a WordPress memory limit of at least 256 MB, and it applies to every PHP process. 4–6 PHP workers plus MariaDB come to about 3 GB.
- WooCommerce: server requirements
04Store with Redis cache2 vCPU · 4 GB · 60 GB · estimate
Redis object cache takes 256–512 MB, the MariaDB buffer about 1 GB. Disk is for a catalog with photos.
05Media site or portal4 vCPU · 8 GB · 100 GB · estimate
Our estimate for a busy media site or portal: more PHP workers and a database buffer for hot pages.
06Agency multisite6 vCPU · 12 GB · 200 GB · estimate
Memory grows with the number of PHP-FPM pools, one per site. Our estimate.

WordPress & CMS FAQ

No answer here? Message @ExpressHost_SupportBot.

Is 1 GB enough for WordPress?

For a blog, yes: WordPress, PHP-FPM with 2–3 workers and MariaDB fit into the “Personal blog” plan (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB NVMe, $2.85 a month). Ghost officially requires at least 1 GB of memory. A store needs more.

What resources does WooCommerce need?

WooCommerce asks for a WordPress memory limit of at least 256 MB, and it applies to every PHP process. For a small store we plan 2 vCPU, 3 GB RAM, 30 GB NVMe ($5.16 a month); with Redis cache and a large catalog, 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe ($8.35).

Can I move to a bigger plan?

Yes, with the “Plan” button in the server panel in the bot. To move the server to another location, use “Network → Migration”: the price is recalculated for the remaining rental period, the fee is $0.60.

How do I install WordPress?

Tick WordPress at the “Add-ons” step when ordering, and it is installed together with the server. The install command and ports are on the WordPress page of the script library.

Which location should I choose?

The one closest to your visitors. You can check the latency to all 4 data centers in Looking Glass and Speedtest before ordering, and move later via “Network → Migration”.
