EasyWP offers different hosting plans tailored to your needs:

  • Free Plan (1 Month Trial)
    This is great for testing the waters and getting familiar with EasyWP’s platform without any initial cost. It gives you a full month to experiment before committing.

    If you’re certain about building and launching your website, the yearly starter plan is highly recommended. It offers better value, enhanced performance, and additional features compared to the free trial.

Choose the plan that best fits your needs and budget.

Next, enter the required personal and payment information to finalize your purchase or start your free trial. Once done, EasyWP will automatically set up your WordPress website.

Having a custom domain gives your site a professional look and makes it easier for visitors to remember your web address.

Once inside WordPress, it’s crucial to install an SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and protect your visitors’ data.
