Black Friday WordPress Hosting Deals: 10 Providers Checked

Black Friday WordPress hosting deals are only starting to appear: of the 10 managed WordPress hosts and server panels I checked on 3 November 2026, only WPX had published official 2026 Black Friday terms, and those are free months for existing customers who renew (2 November to 14 December). Kinsta has a Black Friday waitlist page (“It’s coming.”) with no discount yet, and Kinsta, WP Engine, Pressable, Rocket.net, SiteGround, Liquid Web, FlyWP and ServerAvatar showed no 2026 Black Friday price. What you can buy today: Kinsta’s first month free, Cloudways’ official “40% off for 4 months” promo for new customers, and SiteGround’s $3.99 intro price (prepaid for 12 months), which renews at $17.99 a month.

Below: each host’s status, today’s best official price and what it renews at, when these hosts ran Black Friday sales before, and the refund rules that can catch you out on a deal.

Editor’s Choice: Kinsta

If you want managed WordPress hosting and can wait for Black Friday, Kinsta is my pick, and it’s the one I tested myself. Its 2026 deal isn’t published yet, but it already offers a free first month on select plans. Kinsta is an affiliate partner, so I earn a commission if you buy through my link; that didn’t decide the pick.

Black Friday WordPress Hosting Deals at a Glance

Kinsta’s Black Friday page on 3 November showed this. The countdown runs to 9 November 2026 (08:00 UTC, from the page’s code); Kinsta doesn’t say what happens then, but the page invites you to “be the first to know when our Black Friday offer goes live”:

Each Host, in Short

Kinsta

Plans start at $35 a month or $350 a year (“two months free compared to paying monthly”), with the first month free on Single 20GB, Single 35k, WP 2 and Launch for new customers. Promotional fees renew “at the standard Fee”. The money-back guarantee is 30 days, “only available to first-time customers”, and on free-month plans it “applies from the renewal date”. Overages aren’t refundable. See my Kinsta review.

WPX

WPX’s 2026 Black Friday terms say: “Black Friday Deals are ONLY available between November 2, 2026 and December 14, 2026”, for “customers who renew”: 3 free months on a 1-year plan, up to 24 on a 5-year plan, and “the free months … are the LAST months of the billing cycle”. In 2025 WPX ran a separate new-client offer from 24 November, which hasn’t appeared for 2026 yet. Its site-wide code SAVE79 takes 79% off the first month on monthly plans. Refunds: 30 days, but “Hosting Renewals are not eligible for a refund” and “During promotional campaigns, refund terms may be modified”. I used WPX for about six months; see my WPX review.

Cloudways

No Black Friday page (it redirects to a 404); the site promotes a free Black Friday traffic webinar on 10 November instead. Its official promo page offers “40% Off for 4 Months”: “This offer is only valid for new customers” and is “availed by signing up with the promo code” from that page, with no end date shown. Cloudways also offers a free trial without a credit card; I couldn’t load its refund policy (Not verified). My Cloudways button opens Cloudways’ signup with the code TREAT26 in the link; on 29 October Cloudways’ promo page tied that code to the 40% off, and on 3 November the page showed the same offer without displaying a code. See my Cloudways review.

WP Engine

Nothing announced (its Black Friday address is a 404). Essential starts at $28 a month billed annually ($336 today) or $35 monthly, for 1 site and 25,000 visits; WP Engine says first-year pricing is for new customers and “Product renewal pricing subject to change”. In 2024 it gave four months free on annual plans (25 November to 2 December). Its annual 1-site price carries a $420 base price in the page data, but the real renewal price is Not verified. I couldn’t find its current money-back policy. See my WP Engine review. My WP Engine button opens WP Engine’s affiliate “special offer” page, which on 3 November listed plans from $30 a month (Startup) rather than the $28 Essential price on its main plans page; I haven’t checked what its coupon gives at checkout, so compare both before you buy.

Pressable, Rocket.net and SiteGround

• Pressable: no Black Friday page; Signature 1 is $25 a month or $250 a year. A separate official “switch and save” page offers 10% off the first 6 months. Refunds within 30 days, but not for free-trial users. See my Pressable review and Pressable’s site.
• Rocket.net: its Black Friday page shows the same “$1 First Month” as its normal pricing page ($30 a month after, or $25 billed annually), and Rocket.net says it never raises prices on renewal. 30-day money-back guarantee. See my Rocket.net review.
• SiteGround: no Black Friday page; StartUp is $3.99 a month “Prepaid for 12 months” and “Renews at $17.99 /mo.” 30-day refund (its exclusions: Not verified). See my SiteGround review.

Liquid Web, FlyWP and ServerAvatar

• Liquid Web: managed WordPress is now sold as “Liquid Web by Nexcess”. Pro WordPress is $19 a month or $17.10 billed annually; its terms say that “Except as otherwise provided herein”, “all Fees are non-refundable”, and I found no money-back guarantee. See my Liquid Web review.
• FlyWP: a managed server from $8 a month, or $5 per server a month on your own server. Its 14-day refund “does not apply to products purchased at a discounted price or during promotional campaigns”, renewal payments aren’t refundable, and on managed servers only the remaining wallet balance is refunded. See my FlyWP review and FlyWP’s site.
• ServerAvatar: Newbie is $10 for the first month, then $12; you bring your own server. It’s a server-management panel rather than a host, with 7-day refunds on management plans, including discounted ones. See my ServerAvatar review and ServerAvatar’s site.

When Managed WordPress Hosts Ran Black Friday Before

Kinsta’s 2025 sale started on 17 November, 11 days before Black Friday, and WP Engine’s 2024 sale on the Monday of Black Friday week (25 November); both ran through Cyber Monday. Both were for new customers and tied to the first term or annual prepay.

The Refund Rules That Matter on a Deal

A discounted plan you can’t refund is a bigger risk than a full-price one. These are the hosts’ own rules:

• 30 days: Kinsta (first-time customers, from the end of the free month), Pressable (not free-trial users), Rocket.net, SiteGround and WPX (not renewals; on monthly plans only the first payment).
• 14 days: FlyWP, but not on discounted or promotional purchases or renewals.
• 7 days: ServerAvatar, on management plans, including discounted ones.
• No guarantee found: Liquid Web (“all Fees are non-refundable”); WP Engine’s current policy is Not verified (its 2024 Black Friday post said 60 days), and so is Cloudways’.

Should You Wait for Black Friday?

• Need hosting now? Kinsta’s free first month or Cloudways’ 40% off for 4 months are live today; a Black Friday deal may not apply to an account you’ve already opened.
• Can wait a week or two? Kinsta’s countdown ends on 9 November; for the others, check again from about 17 November, when Kinsta’s 2025 sale started.
• Already a WPX customer? Its 2026 deal runs until 14 December (orders paid by 15 December). It’s a prepaid renewal: the new term is added after your current one, the free months come at the end, downgrades aren’t allowed, and WPX’s refund policy says renewals aren’t refundable.
• Comparing hosts? My best managed WordPress hosting guide compares seven; for shared hosting see my Black Friday web hosting deals, and for a managed VPS see my ScalaHosting Black Friday guide. My hosting renewal prices guide explains why the first-term price isn’t the whole story.

The checklist in text: check Kinsta’s page from 9 November and the other hosts’ pages from mid-November; read the renewal price; check whether the deal is for new or existing customers; check the refund rule for discounted purchases; watch visit and storage limits and overage fees; and use codes only from the host’s own site.
