Elementor, a popular website builder, is launching a new service – Elementor Hosting. This is a comprehensive hosting solution designed for WordPress users, offering managed hosting with a pre-installed Elementor plugin. In this article, we will take a closer look at this service, compare the available packages, and see how it stacks up against the competition.
What, exactly, is elementor hosting?
Elementor Hosting is a managed hosting service dedicated to WordPress, which combines all the essential tools needed for building and managing a website. Within a single plan, users receive hosting, the Elementor Pro page builder, the Hello theme, and top-level technical support. So you can’t compare Hosting Elementor to typical sitebuilders like WIX or JetSite. Here the user is still dealing with hosting and full-fledged WordPress.
Therefore, the service can certainly be compared to other managed hosting services. Its biggest competitors at this moment are Kinsta, WPEngine, IONOS and DreamHost. The rapid conquest of the market is certainly helped by where Elementor comes from. As a plugin itself, it has won the hearts of WordPress users by allowing them to create good-looking sites without having to know the ins and outs of programming. So if a potential user sees that for a small price he gets hosting, WordPress and a premium plugin of his favorite page builder it is normal that he will go in that direction.
How are services billed?
What strikes you first is how the service is billed. The first parameter is the limitation of the number of sites a user can run under hosting. The second is the monthly limit of unique users visiting the site, after which the account owner must upgrade to a higher package.
Other parameters are already spilt typically for shared hosting. We have at our disposal from 5 GB to 40 GB of disk space on SSDs – unfortunately, they did not indicate whether these are super-fast drives with NVMe memory. We also have a transfer limit ranging from 10 GB to 1 TB.
It is worth noting that the Elementor PRO plug-in is only included in Basic and higher packages.
