WordPress Hosting
Most WordPress sites are slow because the server they are on is hosting 400 others. Bitfoo runs WordPress on LiteSpeed with native LSCache, NVMe SSD storage, and isolated CloudLinux resources - so your site's performance is not subject to what your neighbours are doing.
Why LiteSpeed matters for WordPress
Apache handles WordPress adequately. LiteSpeed handles it significantly better - and the difference is not marginal. LiteSpeed's native cache module (LSCache) integrates directly with WordPress at the server level, not as an intermediary plugin workaround. Pages are served from cache before PHP is invoked at all.
LiteSpeed + LSCache
Native server-level WordPress caching. Install the free LiteSpeed Cache plugin and your pages are cached before PHP runs - faster than any reverse proxy or plugin-only cache setup.
CloudLinux LVE resource isolation
Each hosting account runs within its own resource container. A traffic spike on a neighbouring account does not borrow from yours. Your WordPress site gets the CPU and RAM your plan allocates, consistently.
AMD Ryzen 9 processors + DDR5 RAM
WordPress is PHP-heavy. Single-core CPU speed determines how fast individual PHP requests process - and Ryzen 9 (Zen 5) delivers high single-core performance where it matters for page generation and database queries.
NVMe SSD storage
WordPress makes frequent small reads from the database and filesystem. NVMe SSD handles these significantly faster than SATA SSD - up to 5x faster sequential reads, with much lower latency on random reads.
One-click WordPress install via Softaculous
Your WordPress installation is live within minutes. Softaculous handles the database setup, file extraction, and initial configuration - no manual installation required.
PHP 8.x with easy version switching
Run the PHP version your plugins require. Switch between versions from DirectAdmin without touching a config file.
Daily backups with one-click restore via JetBackup
Local and offsite copies, taken daily. If something goes wrong - a bad plugin update, an accidental deletion - restore from any recent backup with a single click from your control panel.
Free SSL on every plan
Let's Encrypt SSL included. The padlock is active from day one, and renewal is automatic.
Plans
All three plans run on the same LiteSpeed + NVMe infrastructure. The difference is storage, site count, and RAM allocation.
| Starter One WordPress site, straightforward setup | Business Multiple WordPress sites, or a busier single site Most popular | Pro Agencies managing client sites, or high-traffic WordPress | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storage | 10GB NVMe SSD | 50GB NVMe SSD | 150GB NVMe SSD |
| RAM | 512MB | 1GB | 2GB |
| Bandwidth | Unmetered | Unmetered | Unmetered |
| WordPress sites | 1 | 10 | Unlimited |
| Backups | Daily | Daily | Daily |
| SSH Access | - | Yes | Yes |
| Price | [price] | [price] | [price] |
| Let's go. | Let's go. | Let's go. |
These are renewal prices. What you pay today is what you pay next year.
CPU resources are allocated via CloudLinux LVE - your WordPress site's resources are isolated from other accounts on the same server.

Common questions
Is WordPress pre-installed, or do I install it myself?
WordPress is not pre-installed - you install it through Softaculous, which is included on every plan. The process takes about two minutes: choose WordPress from the Softaculous library, fill in your site name and admin credentials, and it handles the rest. Your site is live immediately after.
Can I run WooCommerce on Bitfoo shared hosting?
Yes. WooCommerce is fully supported. For smaller shops - under a few hundred products with moderate traffic - the Business plan handles it well. For higher-traffic stores or heavily customised WooCommerce setups, the Pro plan's additional RAM and storage give you more headroom. Running a WooCommerce store specifically? See the WooCommerce hosting page for the store-focused version of this guidance. Very large or high-transaction stores may be better served by a VPS - see the VPS hosting page for dedicated-resource options.
How does LiteSpeed Cache work with WordPress?
LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache) is a server-level cache built into LiteSpeed - it is not a plugin that caches at the PHP layer, it operates below PHP entirely. When a visitor requests a cached page, LiteSpeed serves it directly without invoking PHP or querying the database. The LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin manages cache rules, purging, and optimisation settings. It also handles image optimisation, CSS/JS minification, and lazy loading. Install the plugin, configure your cache rules once, and it runs automatically.
Can I manage multiple WordPress sites from one account?
Yes. The Business plan supports up to 10 sites and the Pro plan supports unlimited sites - all managed from one DirectAdmin account. For agencies managing client sites, DirectAdmin supports reseller-style multi-account setups with separate logins per client if needed.
Which plan is right for my WordPress site?
Starter suits a single site with moderate traffic - a blog, portfolio, or small business site without heavy e-commerce. Business suits anyone running multiple WordPress sites, a busier single site, or a WooCommerce store with regular traffic. Pro suits agencies managing many client sites, or any site that regularly approaches the limits of a Business plan. If you are unsure, start on Business - you can upgrade to Pro at any time from the client portal.
What PHP version does Bitfoo use for WordPress?
PHP 8.x is the default. You can switch between PHP versions from DirectAdmin - no config file editing required. WordPress 6.x is compatible with PHP 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2. If a specific plugin requires an older PHP version, you can run it per-domain.
Can I migrate my existing WordPress site to Bitfoo?
Yes. The cleanest migration method is to export your WordPress database and files, create a fresh WordPress install on Bitfoo via Softaculous, import your database, upload your files, and update your wp-config.php with the new database credentials before switching DNS. If you run into anything during migration, open a support ticket and someone who understands what is actually happening will help.
