Start on Starter and the first month costs nothing. No card up front, free migration from your current host, and nothing to cancel if you decide it is not for you.
The free month is on Starter, for new accounts. Nothing is charged during it and no card is needed to begin. Pro and Enterprise are shown at their normal price — move up whenever you outgrow Starter.
A demo install on an empty database tells you nothing you did not already know. The month exists so you can put your real site on it, under your real traffic, and judge the host on evidence rather than on a benchmark page written by the host.
Migration is free and we do it, so the month is not spent rebuilding anything. Your plugins, your theme, your database — moved as they are, on a staging URL until you are happy to switch DNS.
Response times, uptime and error rates for your pages, not a sample site. A month covers a full billing cycle, a deploy or two and at least one busy day, which is when hosting differences actually show.
No card, no invoice, no sales call. You are in the dashboard in under a minute.
Start a fresh WordPress install in a couple of clicks, or hand us the old host's details and we move it for you.
Nothing is throttled or held back during the trial. Same infrastructure, same backups, same support queue.
Add a card to continue, or leave. Nothing bills unless you choose to stay.
A trial worth running is one where the thing you are trying is the thing you would buy. Same servers, same backups, same support queue — the only difference is that the first month is not billed.
Long enough to cover a billing cycle, a deploy or two, and one genuinely busy day.
Same infrastructure and same uptime commitment as a paid plan. Nothing is held back.
We move plugins, theme and database onto a staging URL until you switch DNS.

The total adds up only the rows with a price against them — the others cost time rather than money. Figures are typical list prices for comparable third-party services, not a claim about any particular host, and your own costs will differ.

The free month runs on Starter. Upgrading ends it early and billing starts from the day you move, so there is no reason to upgrade before you actually need the headroom.
Migrate a real site, watch it under real traffic, and decide with evidence instead of a benchmark page.
