They sell a managed box. We put an engineer on the site.
WP Engine Startup and Kinsta Single 20GB are managed WordPress hosts. They give you a server, a cache layer, and a ticket if something breaks.
JuJu puts an AI site engineer on every site. Julia — the public site AI, not a person — diagnoses and fixes WordPress when you ask. Every morning we review health, security, and backups. We flag what needs attention. When we can, you get a one-click fix. Ask it; it should handle almost all of this. A human is still available at support@jujuhosting.com.
That is the product difference. Not a plugin-update add-on. Not a token meter.
Then the rest of the invoice
At $19.95/mo or $199/yr ($16.58/mo annually) the plan already includes:
- Domain registration and yearly renewal
- 10 mailboxes at your domain
- One WordPress site
- Free white-glove migration — typical 1–2 business days. The old site stays live until DNS cutover.
If you have time left on the old host, we add that time to your JuJu plan — up to 12 months, at our price. We don't write a check.
Leftover-time credit + domain + 10 mailboxes + the price is the price. That's the wedge. Details on Migrate.
The numbers we will actually cite
We do not invent competitor prices. As of 15 August 2026, the figures already on the homepage and the vs pages are:
- WP Engine Startup: starting at $30* first-year. Asterisk, years 2–3, and sources on vs WP Engine.
- Kinsta Single 20GB: $35/mo · $350/yr. Full table on vs Kinsta.
JuJu is $19.95/mo or $199/yr. The price is the price. 60-day money-back on hosting. Cancel anytime. Provisioned domains are not refunded.
Honest limits
10 GB NVMe. 256 MB PHP. One site, ten mailboxes. Built for brochure and small-business WordPress — not a huge Woo catalog, not a high-concurrency LMS, not white-label, not a contractual SLA (we target 99.9%). 160+ sites hosted. Operated by James Taylor is IT, LP — Amarillo, Texas.
One or two sites: the regular plan. Five or more: Agency.
If you're ready to move
Start at Migrate. Same checkout — flagged as a move. Compare the boxes first if you want: vs WP Engine and vs Kinsta.
We're not the cheapest host. We're the one that just works.
