WordPress.com's side is its Business plan, read from wordpress.com/pricing on 13 November 2026, at its price when paid monthly (read 13 November 2026). A cross means the plan page does not list it, not that WordPress.com never offers it. In part means the page lists a version of it without what our row promises, in that page's own terms, and it is not counted in the score. Server figures are each page's own. Storage and visits are that page's own figures, read 13 November 2026. Ours are unlimited for normal website use, with no caps, no metering and no overage charges. Prices in USD.

The whole bill

Matching this plan on WordPress.com is about $174 a month.

The plan price is not the whole bill. Add what it takes to get the same work done and one site costs more there than the $89 it costs here.

With TopSyde, nothing to add$89

A line is added only where the Business plan page does not list it. The care plan is added on every host, because no entry plan lists updates with a backup and a rollback, or malware removal that closes the way in. Each line is the cheapest published way to buy it. Free versions of several of these plugins exist. Not counted are the premium plugin licences worth $1,000+ a year, AI edits, the accessibility check, the AI visibility score and the focus group. This is the list price of matching the plan, not a promised saving. How every figure was read

From the people we look after

Less worry. In their words.

5.0 out of 5 on Google

“TopSyde have been amazing! We were having quite a few problems with our website, and their team helped us get everything sorted out quickly. Their communication has been excellent from the very beginning. Originally, I only contacted them to fix a few issues, but I was so happy with their service that I've since moved our website hosting and ongoing support over to them as well. What really stands out is how responsive and helpful they are. They're happy to answer any questions I have, no matter how small, and I don't think I've ever had to wait more than a day for a response. If something is urgent, they're also easy to get hold of and quick to help. This has given me real peace of mind, especially compared to my previous hosting provider and developer, where I would sometimes wait days just to get a reply. It's great knowing there's a reliable team looking after our website. I couldn't be happier with the service and would highly recommend TopSyde!”

Before you switch

Leaving WordPress.com, answered.

TopSyde is $89 a month per site, and WordPress.com Business is $40 a month when paid monthly. The difference is what the price covers. Ours is the hosting plus the work, from updates, daily backups and malware removal to speed tuned by hand, eight built-in tools, premium plugin licences and a developer hour every month. Matching that on WordPress.com Business means buying the rest at list price (care plan, cookie consent, database cleanup, developer hour), which brings one site to about $174 a month. You can run your own site here for 30 days before you pay anything.

There are no storage, bandwidth or visitor caps on any plan, no metering and no overage charges, so there is no number to show you. The only condition is normal website use. A website with pages, images, a blog and a store is normal use, however busy it gets. A site used as a file locker or a video host is not. If a site ever grows unusually we talk to you first. Nothing is throttled or billed without that conversation.

Yes, two ways. To look around first, open the demo portal at portal.topsyde.com/demo. It is the full portal filled with sample sites, and it needs no signup. To try it on your own site, start the 30-day free trial on a monthly plan, with as many sites as you like. We take a card up front and charge nothing until day 30. We move your site for free, you check the copy on a temporary address before anything goes live, and your old host keeps its copy until you cancel it. Cancel before day 30 and you pay nothing. Malware cleanup is included during the trial. Your developer hour and the included focus group start with your first payment.

Nothing. We move the website only and never touch your email. Your mailbox stays with whoever runs it today, whether that is Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or your registrar, and we only change the records that point your website at us. The records that route your email are left exactly as they are. The one case to plan for is email that comes bundled with the host you are leaving. We check for that before anything moves and tell you, and if it applies we help you set up a standalone mailbox before the old host is cancelled, so there is never a gap. Email your site itself sends, like contact form notifications and order receipts, is routed through our delivery service and tested after the move.

Yes. Your domain stays where it is and stays yours. We only change the record that points your website at us. Give us access to where the domain is managed, or we send you the one record to change and you make it yourself.

Yes, free on every plan, for any WordPress site on any host. We copy the files and database, set up SSL and check whether your email is bundled with your old host before anything moves. You click through the copy on a temporary address while your live site keeps serving visitors, and when you say it looks right we point your domain at us with no downtime. The hands-on part is typically under two hours. Then we run a speed pass, switch on uptime checks, daily backups and daily malware scans, and hand you the portal. Your old host keeps its copy until you cancel it, so going back is one DNS change. Every step is at topsyde.com/migration.

30 days, no charge

Stop wondering. Run your site here and see.

If it is not faster and better looked after than it is on WordPress.com, cancel and it cost you nothing.
