VideoPress review
A WordPress-centered video host with ad-free playback, 1TB storage, and privacy controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
VideoPress is a cloud video-hosting service for WordPress websites. Bloggers, publishers, creators, filmmakers, educators, and organizations can upload, manage, embed, and stream videos through the WordPress editor and media library. It also supports self-hosted WordPress through Jetpack or the dedicated VideoPress plugin. The service combines ad-free playback with adaptive bitrate streaming, privacy controls, captions, chapters, playlists, analytics, and CDN delivery across devices.
The published plan is straightforward: VideoPress costs $10 per month and includes 1TB of storage, an ad-free and customizable player, WordPress editor integration, and unlimited users. The paid plan also includes download and sharing controls, private videos with playback restrictions for logged-in members, and video traffic and engagement analytics. There is no free plan, so it fits teams and site owners looking for a defined paid hosting option rather than a free starting tier. Its storage allowance and feature set make the monthly price relevant for sites publishing more than occasional clips.
WordPress is the central ecosystem fit. Integrations include WordPress, Jetpack, Jetpack Stats, Google Analytics, and Sensei, while cloud and self-hosted deployment options support different WordPress setups. The product is a focused choice for ad-free video on WordPress, with customization, access controls, and playback features that extend beyond basic embedding. Choose VideoPress if your site already runs on WordPress and you want hosting, delivery, and video management within that workflow. Consider another platform if you need a free plan, broader non-WordPress publishing support, or built-in monetization.
