Frequently Asked Questions


Are both WordPress Hosting and Managed Cloud Hosting cloud-based?

Yes. The important difference is not “cloud vs. not cloud.” The difference is the type of website you have and how you want to manage it. WordPress Hosting is cloud-based hosting focused on WordPress websites, while managed Cloud Hosting is cloud-based hosting with more general-purpose flexibility.
Email Options

What About Email?

Cloud Hosting includes email through cPanel. Your mailboxes share the plan’s storage with website files and databases, so include email usage when choosing between Launch and Grow.

For businesses that rely on email every day, OX App Suite and Google Workspace provide separate professional email services with their own mailbox allowances and tools. Choose the service and productivity features that suit your workflow.

Basic Website Email - "Webmail"

Domain-based email, such as info@yourdomain.com, managed through cPanel with webmail and compatible email apps. Included with Cloud Hosting and counted toward your account’s shared storage. Check the selected WordPress plan for its email limits.

Professional Email

Best when you want a cleaner webmail experience, calendar, contacts, spam protection, and better day-to-day email tools. OX App Suite and Google Workspace plans include webmail, mobile access, shared calendars, contacts, tasks, and IMAP access.

Productivity Email

Best when your team also wants cloud storage and web-based documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other communication tools. OX App Suite + Productivity includes a larger mailbox, cloud file storage, and online document tools. Google Workspace includes all these and more.
