Hustly is once again, the only host that allows multiple websites in the starter package. Hustly also includes a dedicated hosting panel (Plesk). A popular panel like Plesk has multiple long term benefits because of compatibility with cPanel and other commonly used hosting stacks.

Multi-website hosting is our strength. Hustly’s intermediate plan (‘Expert’), has far more features and is more affordable than the most premium multi-website plans offered by traditional hosts.
Hustly is the only major host that allows launching of websites in multiple locations from the same hosting account. Other hosts with unlimited website plans, only allow you to launch all your websites in the same location.
As pointed out earlier, Hustly stands out from traditional hosts for having modern features such as high CPU and RAM allocation, Nginx servers, caching, dedicated CDN and a staging environment. Hustly is also the only host to allow multiple websites in its starting package.
Unlike large companies, Hustly provides high quality personalized, WordPress focused technical support (real support by humans, no robots or chat-bots).

Our goal at Hustly is to provide modern WordPress hosting at affordable prices, and the table here highlights our strength. Hustly matches and often exceeds most modern with features hosts, who are sometimes more than 10 times as expensive.
Multi-website hosting is our strength. Hustly is the only host that allows launching of websites in multiple locations from the same hosting account. Other hosts with unlimited website plans, only allow you to launch all your websites in the same location.
Hustly also includes a dedicated hosting panel (Plesk). A popular panel like Plesk has multiple long term benefits because of compatibility with cPanel and other commonly used hosting stacks.
Why are Hustly packages so good?
At Hustly, our goal is to provide a premium WordPress hosting service that is still affordable for small online businesses and bootstrapped entrepreneurs.
We focus on technical innovation and listening to our customers, to create the most value for money plans. An obvious example of our technical innovation, is our unique ability to allow our customers to host websites in multiple locations from the same hosting account. We are able to offer these features, as we are a newer company and were able to learn from the shortcomings of our competition, as well as build on the latest cloud technologies.
In addition to our technical innovation, we focus on the quality of our WordPress services. Our approach here is similar to that of other modern hosts. In contrast, most traditional hosts tend to bundle a bunch of unrelated low quality services to make their packages look attractive. However, you will read numerous complaints about the quality of their WordPress hosting service itself.
For instance unlike basic hosts, both, Hustly and the premium hosts, offer limited or no email hosting in their plans. This is because offering a high quality email service suite is expensive to build. Even the large well resourced basic hosting companies usually offer a low quality email service. The vast majority of users prefer to use sophisticated email providers, with modern business features, such as Gmail, Outlook or iCloud. However, we are still working on an update this year, that will significantly expand our email offerings.
Unlike Modern hosts, we focus on serving smaller customers. Our customers are not large venture capital funded startups. Most of our customers are solo business owners or web developers, who have limited development resources. As a result we don’t have to invest in development of expensive features that help multiple large teams to work together. The popular modern or Managed WordPress hosts tend to have multi-million dollar businesses as clients. Consequently, some of their features such as custom team collaboration dashboards, might be overkill for small businesses which do not have dedicated website development teams. An example of the above is how the Hustly hosting setup includes an advanced Plesk hosting panel. Many premium managed hosts often do NOT offer a hosting panel, or offer a custom proprietary panel. We think this is so because managing individual access of employees to the panel can be problematic to manage for a large corporation. However, for a small business or solo entrepreneur, having easy access to an advanced hosting panel is critical. They often cannot afford to hire a full time CTO to login to the server. Similarly, at Hustly, we do not offer phone support. All our support is via email only. If you are a large corporation requiring access to a dedicated sales team via phone, Hustly is perhaps not the best choice.
An underrated advantage of Hustly over other hosts is that we allow you to manage and connect unlimited domain names and websites. In addition, our starter package allows you to manage and launch up to 3 WordPress websites from the panel. Almost all other hosts only allow you to host ONE website and domain name in their starting plan.
We are a small and lean business, and have very conservative marketing budgets. We strive to innovate technically and learn from our customers, and provide the most value for money hosting plans for our users.
