Pressable

What Pressable does

Pressable runs managed WordPress hosting on Automattic's WP Cloud. Signature plans are sized by WordPress installs, monthly visits and storage, from one install up to 100. Each install comes with the same number of staging and sandbox sites, and each site gets 5 dedicated PHP workers.

What you pay

Signature 1 costs USD 25 a month, or USD 250 a year shown as USD 20.83 a month. The yearly price is ten months of the monthly price (25 × 10 = 250), labelled "2 Months Free". Signature 3 is USD 60 a month or USD 600 a year, Signature 5 USD 155 or USD 1,550 and Signature 8 USD 675 or USD 6,750. Taxes are not stated. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies.

Limits that change the choice

Signature 1 includes 1 install, up to 30K visits and 20 GB; Signature 3 includes 5 installs, 75K visits and 35 GB; Signature 5 includes 20 installs, 400K visits and 80 GB. A visit is counted once per visitor per UTC day. Above the plan, visits cost USD 1.20 per 1,000 and storage USD 1.00 per GB, charged automatically. Pre-bought extra visits cost USD 8 per 10,000. Monthly plans are measured from billing date to billing date, annual plans by calendar month.

Backups and restores

Pressable backs up the filesystem daily at 00:00 UTC and the database hourly, but only when something has changed. Restores are self-service from the Backups & Restores tab, and a backup from one site can be restored onto another. Site migrations are unlimited, and support is 24/7 with an average first response of about 4 minutes.

What the documentation leaves open

The article does not say how long the automatic daily and hourly backups are kept. Monthly prices for Signature 2, 4, 6 and 7 are not shown in the monthly view.

When to compare alternatives

Kinsta also sells per-install plans month to month and publishes overage rates, with visits at USD 0.50 per 1,000 on visit-based plans. Flywheel charges USD 1 per 1,000 extra visitors and lists every Starter, Freelance and Agency limit on one page. WordPress.com does not charge for traffic: its hosting page says the cost does not rise with traffic.

Before you buy

Add up the monthly visits across all your sites, since visits and storage are measured per plan, and check them against the tier. Work out what an overage month would cost at USD 1.20 per 1,000 visits before choosing a smaller tier. Test a restore during the money-back period.
