HonestHosting is a managed WordPress and WooCommerce host run from the Pacific Northwest. It was founded in 2022, and the owner, Kyle Mott, is named in a customer review on the homepage. Sites run on the company's own control panel with daily backups kept for 30 days, a web application firewall, malware defense, free TLS certificates, CDN integration, and the company says CPU and memory are guaranteed to each customer rather than pooled. Billing is usage-based through Stripe: customers pay for what they consumed in the previous month. The pricing page lists a Basic plan at $10 US dollars a month and Premium at $65, with storage charged at $0.45 dollars per gigabyte across web, database and backup data, email accounts at $20 each and a standard CDN add-on at $5. A reseller platform is also offered. The terms say refunds are at the company's discretion and make no uptime commitment, and the site does not name its datacentre providers.
