cPanel included
The popular cPanel web hosting control panel is optional. If you deselect it you can save $10/mo, but I would really suggest not to, unless you know what you are doing.
Data center & support
The HostGator servers are located in Houston, Texas, USA. Live tech support available 24/7.
Expensive domain names
If you need a new domain name I would suggest using one of the top registrars and save about 50% off the cost compared to what this web hosting company charges. HostGator is charging $14.95 per year for whois privacy for your domain name, which in contrast, is totally free with some of the best domain registrars.
Conclusion
Due to really high prices after your initial billing cycle is over this plan get a substantially lower score than what it would get otherwise. Also, the high prices for domains and whois privacy and the lack of SSD storage are other reasons this plan gets a pretty low score.

The VPS plans by Namecheap is no exception when it comes to their offerings of cheap and high-value services. However, they charge a pretty high price for upgrading the VPS plans to be managed.
Level of management
There are three levels of management you can choose for this VPS. User-responsible, Basic, and Complete.
All three of these include free customer support advice and initial VPS setup.
The price we listed here includes Complete server management.
You can save $25/mo if you go with User-responsible and $10/mo if you go with Basic. You would instead have to pay for work relating to core software changes, fixing server failures and restoring the server if it fails.
Free domain
The free domain is not .com but a .website domain, and it is only free for the first year. After that, the standard Namecheap rates apply.
cPanel and Softaculous
cPanel is required when selecting the Basic or Complete server management plan.
Softaculous is optional extra and costs $1.5/mo.
Off-site backups
With Complete management, you’ll get 50 GB of off-site backups storage.

Pageviews and website limit
You can host a maximum of 20 WordPress sites with this plan. You can also maximum get 400.000 pageviews per month to your websites before you would need to upgrade. These are pretty high limits compared with similar hosts.
Annual billing - Monthly avg price
As with all of our listed web hosting plans on WHCompare.com, you need to pay for a year to get the listed price. This includes 2 months for free! You can get the 2 free months every year of your hosting, as long as you select yearly billing. The price should stay the same after your initial year.
Free website migrations
You can move to Pressable really easy with their free managed website migration offer. It is available for up to 5 websites, but they notified me that they soon will offer more website migrations once their plugin to do so for them are finished.
Expert WordPress support
Pressable offers WordPress training material and free expert web hosting and WordPress support when needed. 24/7 ticket support is included while live chat support costs extra.
Other included features
You'll get a premium CDN by StackPath included with your hosting for ensuring fast load times globally. That CDN is worth around $10 per month. You'll also get the Premium version of the popular Jetpack plugin which is worth $9/mo. This plugin includes 100+ WordPress themes, image and video CDN, malware scan and removal, lazy loading of images, daily backups for your site kept for 30 days, website stats and Analytics integration.
You'll also get daily offsite backups stored on the secure Amazon S3 included with every Pressable hosting plan.
If you need to upgrade you can do so and they will migrate up to 5 of your sites for free to the more powerful server and your billing will protate.
Adult WordPress hosting allowed
This is one of the few WordPress web hosting plans that actually allow adult sexual content to be hosted with them. You will need to ask their support though as each such site with will have to be approved individually.
Data center location
Texas, USA.
Conclusion
This is definitely one of the aboslute highest value and best WordPress web hosting plans.
