Introducing Hostoa: hosting that gets out of your way

Hostoa is website hosting and domains for people who would rather run their business than their server. Here is what we built, who it is for and how it works.

Most hosting makes you work for it. Confusing tiers, a control panel that looks like an airplane cockpit, and an upsell at every step. You came to put a website online, not to learn server administration.

Hostoa is our answer: website hosting and domains that stay out of your way. You pick a plan, type your domain, and your website is set up for you in minutes.

Who it is for

Hostoa is built for site owners: a small business with a WordPress site, a blogger, someone running a WooCommerce shop, a freelancer with a handful of client sites. If you would rather spend your time on your work than on your server, this is for you.

What you can host

  • WordPress, managed for you, with WordPress installed and ready when your site is created
  • WooCommerce stores on the same WordPress plans
  • PHP websites and static sites on our general web hosting plans
  • Client sites, if you build websites for others, with our reseller plans

Every family comes in three sizes: Starter, Plus and Pro. Start small and move up when your site grows.

How it works

  1. Choose a plan and enter the domain your site is for. You can also leave the domain for later.
  2. We set it up. Your website is created for you, with WordPress installed if you chose a WordPress plan.
  3. Open your control panel with one click from your dashboard. There is no password to remember: you sign in with a link we email you.

Domains in the same place

Register a new domain or transfer one you already own, and manage everything from the same dashboard as your hosting. No second account, no second invoice.

Extras that come with your plan

Your plan includes free extras from our partners: an AI website builder, uptime monitoring with a public status page, and a discount on your first project with our sister web agency. We explain each of them in Everything that comes with your plan.

Fair by design

We would rather be boring about billing than clever. If a payment fails, your site stays online while we retry. If it is still unpaid after a few days, we pause it and keep your data. You get several warnings by email before anything is ever deleted. Your first purchase also has a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Suspended is not deleted. That is a rule we built into the platform, not a promise on a web page.

Try it

New customers can start with a free first month: add a card, and if you cancel before the month ends you pay nothing. Current offers and plans are on the pricing page.

What comes next

This blog will carry practical guides for site owners, product news, and what we learn along the way. If you build websites for clients, keep an eye out for our WooCommerce plugin that sells hosting and domains from your own store.
