EasyWP Review 2026 – Decent Not the Best!
EasyWP is a low cost managed WordPress hosting provider now avialable to purchase with both NameCheap and Spaceship, which all together comes under Private Equity Owned, CVC Capital Partners. The plan starts at approximately $4.07/month and renews at ~$5.74/month.
We tested EasyWP back in 2022-23 for nearly two years and disapointed with their product performance/features and stopped monitoring further. In July 2025, we started testing them back for a year and now we are live with our updated EasyWP review on Hostingstep.com
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 score of 7.4 out of 10 and secured a rank of 16 out of 34 providers we tested. The host recorded a TTFB of 476ms and an uptime of 99.98%. However, the Load handling is slower at 110ms. The global TTFB score of 534ms is average, despite the service comes with CDN. The WPBenchmark hardware score is 6.7, which again lands in average tier.
Pros:
- Stong 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 avialable.
- WPBenchmarks is average. Good for most sites but for resouce-hungry sites looks for 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?
Performance Overview
EasyWP Performance scores based on the data collected from October 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026.
| Metric | Result | Score | Weight | Tier Ref |
| TTFB (US) | 476ms | 7 / 10 | 15% | 450–500ms = 7 |
| Uptime | 99.98% | 9 / 10 | 15% | 100% = 10 |
| Load Test | 110ms | 7 / 10 | 15% | 56.80% errors |
| Global TTFB | 534ms | 5 / 10 | 10% | 550–650ms = 6 |

TTFB Response Time
EasyWP recorded a TTFB of 476ms, which is strong. We have tracked this score from October 1, 2025 to May 31, 2025. Whatever host lands in 450-500ms pool is considered as “Strong” in our methodology.
Uptime
EasyWP recorded an uptime of 99.98% which is strong. Uptime has always been a strength of EasyWP even 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 scores of 110ms indicate the load is good at handling all the load with no 400 or 500 errors. However, the score is not sufficient for production-ready business websites where the load should be handled at the lowest response time as possible. We have shared hosting companies like Hostinger, Bluehost, and many more new companies like HostArmada, which handles the same load for less than 40ms.
Please note our load testing is based on the starter plan, while the top tier plans of EasyWP might handle the load much faster, but we don’t have data to prove it.However, we have the data to say the Hostinger companies handle the load much faster, and the plans are priced very much similar to EasyWP.
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 of 34 hosts is 6.5, and EasyWP is slightly above the median score, which is good but not the best.
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 an below avearge Global TTFB score of 545ms.
This is quite a poor performance from EasyWP, despite we have tested the host with CDN is 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 dont recommend using EasyWP for global visitors.

EasyWP vs NameCheap Shared

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. Most importantly, NameCheap passed the Load Test with a response time of 159 ms while EasyWP got 110ms.
EasyWP vs SiteGround
As we compare EasyWP with SiteGround, SiteGround, too, struggles with a poor TTFB of 632 ms and a poor global TTFB of 833 ms, ranking below the average tier. However, unlike EasyWP, SiteGround passed the load test with 170 ms. Besides, SiteGround comes with email, daily backups and edge CDN while EasyWP offers none of these. 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 handing 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 in moderate to high traffic site, EasyWP might not handle the traffic faster, based on our test data.
Global visitors from Europe and Asia-pacific will see a slow loading pages.
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.
