Crystal clear pricing

Ask us anything. We know church sites. ChurchHost is a division of SundayPixels, LLC where we've helped more than 15,000 churches over the last decade.
Create a copy of your site to test changes before pushing them live. You get a temporary URL like yourchurch.temp.church to work in private while your live site remains unaffected. It's helpful when redesigning your site or working on a significant new part.
Our staging is WordPress-compatible with WP CLI updating URLs, even in serialized data.
Staging sites do not count towards your site limit. They do count towards your storage limit. Your church can try our hosting 100% for free for two weeks. You will verify your identity by adding a payment method. You will not be charged for 14 days or if you cancel within the trial period. Like the service? Your subscription will automatically begin after the trial. We process "no questions asked" refund requests made within 30 days of payment. Your church doesn't need to provide a reason. We want you to be happy whether it is with us or another host.

1 Containerized Site
-
10 GB Solid State Storage
A ChurchThemes.com survey found the average church site uses about 8 GB of storage, so this is a good plan to start with. Be aware that a staging site, if used, will also use your storage.
You can store about 4 - 5 years of weekly audio sermons on this plan. This assumes other parts of your site (ie. WordPress, database, images) consume 3 GB and that your audio files average 30 MB. Videos should be hosted on YouTube, Vimeo or similar.
Solids state drives are faster and more reliable. -
High Performance
This plan, which allocates 1 vCPU / 2 GB memory, can handle about 300 daily visitors, but we do not set a limit. You may experience slowdown with more visitors and can upgrade to Premium at any time.
We license LiteSpeed Enterprise, provide Redis object cache and Opcache for the ultimate performance. LSCache for WordPress capable of extreme optimization. QUIC and HTTP/3 are enabled for more performant and secure connections. -

1 Containerized Site
-
20 GB Solid State Storage
This plan doubles storage space. 20 GB is more than enough for nearly every church. It also allows for extra room to store a temporary staging site. If you are one of the few churches needing more, look at our Extra plans.
You can store about 10 - 12 years of weekly audio sermons on this plan. This assumes other parts of your site (ie. WordPress, database, images) consume 3 GB and that your audio files average 30 MB. Videos should be hosted on YouTube, Vimeo or similar.
Solids state drives are faster and more reliable. -
Highest Performance
This plan allocates double the resources as Starter with 2 vCPU / 4 GB memory. This can handle about 1,000 daily visitors, without slowdown. This is more than sufficient for nearly every church site.

Email Hosting
Create @yourchurch.com email accounts that can be accessed via webmail
or your favorite app.
The webmail URL is mail.yourdomain.com.
Email forwarders that send email to another address can also be created.
You get 10 email accounts and 10 email forwarders with the Premium plan. -
On-demand Backups
All plans include automatic daily backups.
Premium adds the ability to create on-demand backups before
making changes to your site.
-
SSH Access + WP-CLI
SSH provides a secure and encrypted method to interact with your
site's containerized environment via a
command-line interface.
This is a developer-level tool.
WP-CLI is the command-line tool for WordPress that allows advanced users to manage their website without using a web browser. WP-CLI is especially useful for developers who want to automate and speed up workflows with remote site management via SSH. -
Alias Domains
You may point additional domains (ie. yourchurch.org) to your
primary domain (ie. yourchurch.com) so that both domains
show the same website (with WordPress this will automatically
redirect the alias domain to your primary domain).
- All Premium Features
-
More Sites / Storage
Upgrade to an Extra plan when you need more sites and/or more storage for your site. Each site gets its own containerized environment with all the Premium features. 2 vCPU / 4 GB memory is allocated per site so you get the fastest performance. Total storage is available for use by all sites. For example, on the 40 GB plan, you could use 30 GB for one site and 10 GB a second.
-
Extra Email
Create @yourchurch.com email accounts that can be accessed via webmail
or your favorite app.
The webmail URL is mail.yourdomain.com.
Email forwarders that send email to another address can also be created.
You get 10 email accounts and 10 email forwarders per site on Extra plans. For example, the Extra 5 plan includes 50 email accounts and 50 email forwarders that can be used with any of your domains. -
Site Cloning
Easily copy a site for use on a different domain or staging URL.
Helpful when you're creating a similar site and don't want to start from
scratch.
$19.99/mo per extra Premium site (first is $29.99). Unlike "Unlimited" hosts,
each has its own resources, so no slowdown.
With ChurchHost, each site added to your Extra plan is just like
ordering a Premium plan
with an allocation of 2 vCPU / 4 GB memory for that one site alone,
but $10/mo cheaper.
Resilient global infrastructure
Our network's datacenters are carefully chosen. They have electrical and cooling redundancy and are flood and fire resilient. Your church website is on a rack in the same datacenter that financial institutions use. We make backups, more backups and backups of backups. 10 gigabit ports allow for quick backup restoration. Choose a location nearest to your church for reduced latency.
