WPX Hosting Review 2025: Our Last 12 Months Data

WPX Hosting Pricing

WPX plans start at $20.83/month, providing customers with three plans based on the number of websites, storage, and bandwidth. 

• Business: $20.83/month, 5 Websites, 15 GB Storage, and 200 GB Bandwidth.
• Professional: $41.58/month, 15 Websites, 30 GB Storage, and 400 GB Bandwidth.
• Elite: $83.25/month, 35 Websites, 60 GB Storage, and Unlimited Bandwidth.

WPX did a commendable job by offering five sites of hosting in their starter plan, which should be their major selling point, as competitors like WP Engine and Kinsta used to offer only one website on their starter plans.

WPX pricing is value for money. There is nothing to complain about regarding pricing and features offered.

3. Load Handling

In load testing, WPX recorded an average response time of 41ms to handle 100 concurrent visitors. The response time is impressive, with all the requests passing without timeout or network errors.

4. Global TTFB

The WPX site is tested for global TTFB from 40 locations. It recorded an average TTFB of 621 ms, which is quite average. This is probably due to their XDN having a high TTFB for first-time visitors.

WPX Features

1. Control Panel

WPX offers a simple-to-use control panel with direct options for the most important features like creating staging sites, managing backups, etc.

My only concern is that the control panel is slow most of the time. Most of the WPX competitors are miles ahead and have a great control panel.

For some examples, it will take more than five clicks to create a staging site, while the same can be done at 1-2 clicks in any other managed WordPress host. On top of these clicks, there will be a loading loop delay happening on every page for at least 20-30 seconds. Overall, it was an ok kind of experience with the WPX control panel.

2. Security

WPX Security is highly reliable, with many security features like enterprise-level DDoS and malware protection. While doing our load test, we sent 0 to 500 visitors to the site. After some time, WPX sent an email indicating there might be a DDoS attack and sent its procedural emails with Dos and Don’ts. I was happy with this proactive approach.

3. Backups and Restores

WPX has an easy backup system with automated daily backups on all plans, and every backup is stored for 28 days before deletion. Users can restore any backup copy within 28 days, which is straightforward.

4. Data Center Locations

WPX offers to host your site from three data centers located in the USA(Chicago), the UK (London), and Australia (Sydney).

5. WPX CDN

WPX has a built-in CDN named XDN, which is free for all plans. However, the CDN has a bandwidth limit based on different plans. 

The CDN has 41 global edge locations. The company offers edge caching so the page can load faster than a site with a traditional CDN setup (static caching). As discussed earlier, their CDN is not good for first-time visitors and can increase load time. This is evident from the Pingdom TTFB graph and global TTFB tests.

As of October 2024, they have added two new XDN locations in Delhi and Bangalore, speeding up the site for South Asian visitors.

6. Staging

Staging is handy for designing changes before deploying them to the live site. WPX provides a staging feature on all plans. However, there is a strange limitation that I have never found with other hosting services.

The overall site size should not be larger than 4 – 5 GB; then, the staging site can’t be great, and it may fail. If you are an agency or managing a big site, you need to make sure you comply with this rule, or else there is no possibility for you to use the WPX staging site feature.

Email Accounts

While many hosting services offer email hosting as an additional paid feature, WPX lets you create email accounts for free on all plans and for as many sites as your plan supports.

You can configure your email accounts with any of the local email clients, or use them through webmail.

7. WPX Hosting Support

WPX has a reliable support system in place and a good track record so far. The support team has dedicated and competent executives to help customers with their technical queries and issues through 24/7 live chats and tickets. The company averages a 30-second support response, which means you will get connected to an agent instantly.

Conclusion

Is WPX Worth it? Yes. WPX hosting comes at an affordable price for a Managed WordPress hosting service. It has excellent performance, good customer support, and proactive security. They lack a good control panel, and their TTFB is not faster for first-time visitors.

Apart from this kind of issue, WPX is really worth its price. If you are on a budget and compromise on its downsides, WPX will be a value for money for you.
