Replaces Hostgator WordPress
European alternatives to Hostgator WordPress
WordPress hosting with EU infrastructure
Browse the category: WordPress hosting providers · Virtual private server (VPS) hosters
Hostgator is a web hosting company in the United States, and managed WordPress hosting is one of its main products. Its plans bundle the install, automatic updates, caching, backups and support, usually with a domain and mailboxes in the same package, and they are priced for people running one site or a handful of small ones without a technical team behind them.
For a European audience, the practical questions are where visitor data is processed, which law the hosting contract falls under, and who answers the phone during a European working day. A European alternative to Hostgator WordPress settles all three. Raidboxes and Hostpress build their entire product around managed WordPress, Combell WordPress and Strato WordPress come from established European hosting companies, and IONOS WordPress Hosting offers plans that scale up as a site grows.

Questions
Can I run several sites on one plan?
Multi-site plans are common but the counting differs per host. Raidboxes and Hostpress publish how many installations each plan includes, which matters if you manage sites for clients.
What does managed WordPress actually include?
Typically the install, core updates, caching, backups and support for the platform itself. Compare what Combell WordPress, Strato WordPress and OVHcloud WordPress cover, since plugin updates and security handling are not treated the same way everywhere.
How do I move my site over?
Copy the files and the database to the new host, test on a temporary address, then repoint DNS. Most managed hosts here will carry out the migration for you if you ask before signing up.
