The signup price is the renewal price
Hosting.com's intro tier renews at roughly 2.5x the sticker. Our price never changes. What you sign up at is what you keep paying.

Looking at Hosting.com? Faster servers, lower price, no upsell maze.
Hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting / InMotion brands) leans on big intro discounts and a long menu of add-ons. WP Tango keeps it simple: one fast platform, everything included, the signup price is the renewal price.

Why teams switch
The reasons people leave Hosting.com for us.
Most of it comes down to honest pricing, real speed, and not having to pay extra for the basics.
Hourly backups, no add-on
Hosting.com runs daily backups. We snapshot every hour and keep them for 14 days, on every plan, restorable in one click.
No paid add-ons for the basics
WAF, malware scan, auto clean-up, staging, SSH and WP-CLI all come standard on every WP Tango plan. With Hosting.com, several of these are extra line items.
Faster server response
Top-tier AMD Ryzen 9950X CPUs with LiteSpeed and Redis pre-tuned, low-density servers. Hosting.com's 2025 full-year average TTFB was 470 ms across 19 US Pingdom locations (hostingstep.com). Our own TTFB on wptango.com sits around 124 ms.
Engineers do the migration for you
Both hosts migrate for free, but ours is a dedicated engineer who tests on staging and coordinates the DNS cut with you, not a self-serve plugin you babysit.
Honest, all-in pricing
No teaser rate, no menu of upsells at checkout. One price, everything in the box, same on day 1 and on day 1,000.
Managed WordPress hosting
Plans. Everything included.
Same fast hardware, same US engineers, same all-in-one platform. Pick the size that fits, the renewal price is the signup price.
