WordPress Hosting plans run on the same underlying infrastructure as our Shared Hosting plans and have identical resource parameters — the difference is that WordPress comes preinstalled and ready to use.

Prevents runaway scripts from hogging processing time. RAM **Memory (RAM) Limit**The maximum RAM an account may allocate. Ensures fair memory distribution across all accounts on the server. I/O **I/O Rate**The cap on disk read/write operations per second. Controls storage access intensity and prevents disk bottlenecks. EP **Entry Processes**Simultaneous processes an account can spawn — e.g., PHP workers and SSH sessions — at any one moment. INO **Inodes**Total count of files and directories an account can create. Guards against inode exhaustion on the server. BW **Bandwidth**Aggregate data an account can transfer per month, covering all website traffic and file transfers. You can monitor your live resource consumption at any time via **cPanel > Metrics > Resource Usage**. --- ## Key Technologies We Offer **WordPress Preinstalled** Every WordPress Hosting plan ships with the latest version of WordPress preinstalled and ready to use — no installer to run, no setup steps to follow.
