StellarSites is a managed WordPress hosting service from StellarWP for business owners, creators, nonprofits, educators, event organizers and online stores. It combines WordPress hosting with SSL, SSH/SFTP, PHP, Apache and MariaDB, while retaining access to WordPress customization. Site creation can start with an AI site wizard or Kadence starter templates, and site management is handled through the Solid Central dashboard.

The published plans are organized around site-building, storage and product-specific use cases. Foundation Essential includes Kadence Express, SolidWP Suite and 15GB of storage. Foundation Plus adds Kadence Plus and 60GB of storage, while Foundation Ultimate includes Kadence Ultimate and 100GB of storage. Fundraising Essential includes GiveWP Basic and all payment gateways. Optional plans also cover WooCommerce, LearnDash and The Events Calendar, giving organizations a way to align hosting with their site type and core WordPress products.

Its strongest fit is for teams that want managed WordPress operations alongside design, security and backup tools in one service. Daily automatic backups provide restore and download options, while automatic WordPress and plugin updates include visual comparison. Vulnerability scanning and patching cover WordPress, plugins and themes, and Cloudflare supplies CDN and edge security. Cloudflare, WooCommerce, GiveWP, LearnDash and The Events Calendar are the listed integrations. Organizations needing a focused WordPress environment with these tools should consider StellarSites; teams seeking a platform beyond web-based WordPress hosting or preferring support beyond ticket-based service may want a different option.
