Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about WordPress hosting with OpenHosst

WordPress.com is a hosted platform with strict limitations on plugins, themes, and customization. They also inject ads and take a cut of your revenue. Self-hosted WordPress (what we offer) gives you complete freedom—install any plugin, use any theme, and keep 100% of your earnings. You own your site completely.

Not at all! We handle all the technical setup—server configuration, WordPress installation, SSL certificates, backups, and updates. You just log in to your WordPress dashboard and start building your site like you would on WordPress.com, but with unlimited freedom.

Yes! We offer a 7-day free trial on all plans. Try WordPress hosting completely free for 7 days. After the trial, you'll be charged starting at just $1/month. Cancel anytime during the trial period if you're not satisfied—no questions asked.

Absolutely! You have full control over your WordPress installation. Install any plugin from the WordPress repository, premium plugins, custom themes, page builders like Elementor or Divi, WooCommerce for e-commerce—anything you want. No restrictions whatsoever.

Yes! You can connect any domain you own (from GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) or register a new one. We'll help you configure the DNS settings. If you don't have a domain yet, we can also provide a free subdomain (like yoursite.openhosst.com) to get started.

We provide 24/7 human support via Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, and email. Our team includes WordPress experts who can help with technical issues, plugin recommendations, performance optimization, and more. No AI chatbots—you always talk to real people.
