WordPress: web hosting from free to business-grade

WordPress currently offers theseWebhosting packages:

• Free: The free entry-level plan fulfills the basic purposes, however, it does not include your own domain, you only get a WordPress.com subdomain and the storage space is limited to 3 GB.
• Personal: For 4 euros per month, your own domain is included and WordPress.com ads are removed, you have 6 GB of storage space. The support is also much better than in the Free plan.
• Premium: For 8 euros per month you have access to unlimited premium themes, plus complex design customizations are possible and the storage space is 13 GB. In addition, WordAds is integrated, so you can earn money with the website.
• Business: At 25 euros per month, this tariff is aimed at small businesses and other commercial purposes. All the features of the Premium package are included, but the storage space is significantly larger at 200 GB. In addition, you can use SEO tools and integrate Google Analytics, have access to VideoPress support and the WordPress.com branding is omitted.
• E-Commerce: If you have your own online store, the E-Commerce package is the right choice. For 45 euros per month you get additional live support from experts, as well as special e-commerce features, such as the integration of shipping companies.

The official overview can be found here. The great strength of WordPress web hosting is that the packages are fully focused on the CMS WordPress, so that the integration and use of all features is almost automatic by hand. This is not necessarily the case if you want to do a WordPress installation with an independent web host - there is more manual work required, especially in the beginning. In return, the price-performance ratio is better in terms of web hosting performance data.The decision thus depends on how much the individual user comfort is worth and how great the willingness to do their own work.
