No HostIdea monitoring window is open for these hosts yet. Uptime and response are published third-party measurements, one per host by a fixed rule (longest stated independent window, and its response figure or the most recent one); methods differ, so read them as a guide. Each review lists every source with its method.
Running several small sites on one plan is the cheapest way to host them, as long as the plan allows it and the resources are shared sensibly. This list ranks the nine hosts on the cheapest plan that allows more than one site, with the site limit, the storage and the renewal price, from pricing pages read on 13 October 2026.
“Unlimited websites” is a billing term, not a capacity promise: the account still has one CPU and RAM allocation. The hosts that state that allocation (Flashcloud, Hosting.com) let you judge how many sites it will carry; the rest leave you to find out.

Grow allows unlimited sites with 4 cores, 4 GB of RAM, 50 GB and daily backups for $3.79 a month on a 12-month term, $11.99 after, and the plan's free domain stays free for as long as it runs.

Every host on this list is reviewed from its published terms, cited independent measurements and our own checks, with the source and date next to each figure. The order comes from the overall score plus an editorial judgement on fit for this use case, stated in each entry. Weights:
As many as the account's RAM and CPU allow. A plan with 4 GB can carry a dozen low-traffic WordPress sites comfortably; a plan with 1 GB and a 25-site limit will struggle long before 25.
Is one plan for many sites a risk?
Yes: one compromised site can affect the others, and one busy site slows the rest. Keep client sites or a store on their own plan.
Do multi-site plans include more than one free domain?
No host here states more than one. Flashcloud's single free domain stays free while the plan is active, for eligible extensions; the others include one free domain for the first year, if any, and the extra sites need domains you pay for.
