EasyWP is a low-cost managed WordPress hosting provider, available to buy through both NameCheap and Spaceship. CVC Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in NameCheap, including Spaceship, in September 2025. The plan starts at approximately $4.07/month and renews at ~$5.74/month.
We tested EasyWP through 2022-23 for nearly two years, were disappointed with the performance and feature set, and stopped monitoring. We resumed monitoring on October 1, 2025, and this review is built on that data.
Note: This review is based on our testing of EasyWP’s Starter plan. The performance figures are measured data; the recommendations reflect our editorial assessment of those results. Unless stated otherwise, everything here applies to the Starter plan while other EasyWP plans may produce different benchmark results.
Our Verdict
EasyWP scored an overall Performance score of 7.4 out of 10. The host recorded a TTFB of 476ms and an uptime of 99.98%. Load handling averaged 110ms with a 0% error rate. The global TTFB of 534ms is slow for a host that ships with a CDN. The WPBench hardware score is 6.7.
Pros:
- Strong speed and uptime
- Support is available 24/7 and helps you instantly with anything related to their platform.
Cons:
- Load Handling is average on starter plan, sites with existing traffic should look at top-tier plan though we haven’t tested them or look at our alternative recommendations.
- Global TTFB is average. Not recommended for sites with global visitors. Better alternatives available.
- WPBench is average. Good for most sites, but resource-hungry sites should look at top-tier plans.
- No Automatic backups. This is one of the biggest red marks of EasyWP. If the site goes down for any issue, website owner has no way to restore the site, unless the owner took manual backup earlier. If no backup has been taken, the site is gone forever, with no way to recover. In this scenario, how can EasyWP be a “Managed WordPress Hosting” if the website owner takes care of backups on their own?

TTFB Response Time
EasyWP recorded a TTFB of 476ms, which is strong. We tracked this from October 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026, with a low of 382ms and a high of 616ms.
Uptime
EasyWP recorded an uptime of 99.9863% across 6 outages totalling 48 minutes of downtime. Uptime has always been a strength of EasyWP, including during our earlier testing period of 2022-23.
Load Handling
EasyWP recorded an average load handling score of 110ms.
We use Loader.io to send 0 to 100 concurrent users to our test site hosted in EasyWP for 60 seconds. The average response time is calculated, and lower the response time indicates the host is faster in handling the traffic load.
EasyWP’s 110ms average came with a 0% error rate, with no 400 or 500 responses during the run. However, the score is not sufficient for production-ready business websites where the load should be handled at the lowest response time as possible. HostArmada handled the same test at 32ms and Hostinger Business at 31ms, both with a 0% error rate.
Please note our load testing is based on the starter plan. The top tier plans of EasyWP might handle the load faster, but we don’t have data to prove it. We do have the data to show Hostinger Business handles the same load far faster at a similar price point.
Server Hardware Test
WPBench tests the raw non-cached server resources like CPU, RAM, and disk I/O of a host. EasyWP scored 6.7 reflecting an average to low hardware allocation. The median WPBench score across the hosts we benchmark is 6.6, and EasyWP sits marginally above it.
The Starter plan comes with a RAM of 512 MB, which is the lowest among all providers we tested so far. It’s important to understand that WPBench measures the raw server capability alone independent of web server software quality.
Global TTFB
EasyWP recorded a Global TTFB of 534ms.
This is a poor result given we tested EasyWP with the CDN turned on. The score is excellent across most of the American locations, but still at some part of the regions like South Carolina, Iowa, Dallas, the score is already above 200 ms, which is quite higher than most of the other hosts, which provides much better TTFB even without the CDN.
The Europe region has a TTFB of range of 400 to 500 ms across most of the locations. Again, the score is quite slower. In Asia Pacific, the performance is too poor with the range starting from around 600 ms and going up to 1.1 second.
When TTFB itself at 1100ms, the full load time of the page will further increase. Hence, we don’t recommend using EasyWP for global visitors.

EasyWP vs Hostinger Business
Hostinger Business is the clear winner in almost all metrics. Hostinger Business comes with better features such as 100 sites support, free email, daily backups, and edge CDN. Both hosts recorded the same 99.98% uptime over the window.
EasyWP vs NameCheap Shared
Even though both EasyWP and NameCheap belong to the same parent company, NameCheap shared hosting outperforms EasyWP. NameCheap offers comparatively more affordable pricing with $1.98 vs $4.07, and more sites with 3+ vs 1, NameCheap includes email and automatic backups unlike EasyWP. Under load, EasyWP is the faster of the two at 110ms against NameCheap’s 150ms, both with a 0% error rate.
EasyWP vs SiteGround
As we compare EasyWP with SiteGround, SiteGround, too, struggles with a poor TTFB of 632 ms and a global TTFB of 1,200ms. SiteGround’s load test came in at 170 ms, slower than EasyWP’s 110 ms. Besides, SiteGround comes with email and daily backups while EasyWP offers neither. However, the renewal is way higher in SiteGround than EasyWP with $17.99 vs $5.74. So, it’s a mixed comparison.
EasyWP vs WP Engine
WP Engine belongs to the premium category.The host costs 5.6x more than EasyWP with $23 per month vs $4.07 per month. WP Engine delivers elite tier performance with a TTFB of 367 ms, a load handling of 27 ms, and a global TTFB of 169 ms. The host beats EasyWP in all performance metrics. Besides, WP Engine offers daily auto backups, and enterprise features. Mission critical sites will benefit a lot and WP Engine truly justifies its Premium pricing.
Who Should Use EasyWP
EasyWP should work fine for Personal blogs with a US based audience and low traffic since a TTFB of 476 ms and 99.98% uptime is adequate for small blogs and business websites.
The load handling is decent, enough for small sites.
Existing NameCheap domain customers looking for a one click integration can benefit from using EasyWP. EasyWP’s dashboard seamlessly connects the domain to the host.
Who Shouldn’t Use EasyWP
If you are running a moderate to high traffic site, EasyWP might not handle the traffic quickly enough, based on our test data.
Global visitors from Europe and Asia-Pacific will see slower page loads.
Users looking for automatic backups should avoid EasyWP since the host offers manual only backups. If you forget to backup your site manually, you can lose your entire site if it ever fails since there is no restore point.
Methodology
We purchased the EasyWP Starter plan with our own funds which cost us $48.88 per year. We used tools such as Pingdom for TTFB and Uptime, GTmetrix for performance, Loader.io for load testing, WPBenchmark for measuring the server hardware performance, and SpeedVitals for cached global TTFB across 40 locations. We test 34 hosts every 60 seconds, 24/7, which works out to 1,440 checks per provider per day.
We monitored EasyWP from October 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026 — 243 days, or 349,920 individual checks.
