Pick the shelf that fits
Every family comes in four tiers, so you can start small and move up without ever changing platform. Same network, same control panel, same backups, just a different amount of room.

Edge CDN · included, always
Your site is hosted in Dallas.
Your site is hosted in Dallas.
Your visitors never have to know.
Content is cached at edge locations across the world, so a request from Singapore is answered near Singapore, not eight thousand miles away. It's on by default, on every plan, with SSL included.
Edge locations serving your visitors
Dallas, Texas (hosting region)
United Kingdom (coming soon)
Distance is the slowest part of the internet
No amount of server tuning beats physics. Putting a cached copy of your site near your visitor is the single biggest speed win available, which is why we don't sell it as an upgrade.
- Automatic static caching for images, CSS, JS and fonts, with smart invalidation when you publish.
- Full-page caching available for WordPress and other dynamic sites, so even HTML is served from the edge.
- Brotli & Gzip compression and modern image delivery, applied without you configuring anything.
- Free SSL everywhere, issued and renewed automatically, terminated at the edge.

Rack1 Burst
Traffic spikes shouldn't cost you a fright
Rack1 Burst is our AI-assisted resource allocation. It watches request rates and resource pressure in real time, and when your site gets busy it allocates more compute to your account in seconds, automatically, with no additional charge.
- No throttling at the ceiling. Your site doesn't slow to a crawl the moment it gets popular.
- No surprise invoice. Burst covers compute. Your bandwidth allowance is the number printed on your plan and doesn't change.
- No action required. There's no button to press and no ticket to raise. It's already watching.
- On every plan we sell. Including the $2.99 one.

allocated capacity
Steady state, baseline capacity
Blue is incoming demand. The dashed outline is the capacity allocated to your account. Watch what happens when demand climbs.
The platform
Managed properly, so you don't have to be
There's no server for you to log into, patch, tune or reboot. That's not a limitation It's the whole product.
Fully managed, end to end
Operating systems, web servers, PHP versions, mail routing, security patching, monitoring and hardware failures are all ours to worry about. There is no server for you to log into, update or reboot, because there is no server for you to break.
Offsite backups, taken daily
Every account is backed up automatically to storage that lives away from the systems serving your site. Restore a file, a database or an entire site yourself from the control panel, with no support ticket and no waiting.
Edge CDN on every single plan
Not an add-on and not a premium tier. Every plan we sell is delivered through our global edge network, so a visitor in Sydney gets the same snappy site as a visitor in San Antonio.
Rack1 Burst auto-scaling
AI-assisted resource allocation watches your traffic patterns and adds compute the moment demand climbs. No throttling, no suspension email, and no surprise charge for the compute you burst into.
Redundancy at every layer
Redundant power, redundant networking, redundant storage and clustered services. Components are expected to fail; the platform is designed so your site doesn't notice when they do.
One control panel for everything
Domains, DNS, SSL, email, databases, file management, backups and one-click app installs live together in a single interface that doesn't need a manual.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly
Do I need to know anything about servers?
No, and that's the point. Rack1 is a fully managed platform. We handle the operating system, the web server, PHP versions, security patching, monitoring and hardware. You upload your site (or install WordPress in a click) and get on with your day.
Is the CDN really included on every plan?
Yes. Every plan, including the cheapest one, is served through our global edge network with free SSL. We don't charge extra to make your site fast, which would be a strange thing to sell separately.
What does “Rack1 Burst” actually do?
Burst is our AI-assisted resource allocation. It watches request rates, queue depth and resource pressure across the platform and allocates additional compute to your account when traffic spikes, automatically, in seconds, at no extra cost. It applies to processing capacity, not to your monthly bandwidth allowance, which stays exactly as published on your plan.
What happens if I go over my bandwidth allowance?
On our Static, Basic Shared, Accelerated and WordPress Optimized plans we will do our best to absorb a spike. A good month should not come with an invoice attached. If the excess becomes substantial or keeps happening we will get in touch, and additional bandwidth may be charged at a rate not exceeding $0.10 per GB; usually the better answer is a larger plan and we will tell you that. There is no other bandwidth charge and no hidden multiplier.
Is the price I sign up at really the price I keep?
Yes, for five years. Our Static, Basic Shared, Accelerated and WordPress Optimized plans carry a five-year price guarantee: the monthly price you start on cannot go up during that time, and existing customers are never charged more than someone signing up today for the same plan. There is no introductory rate that jumps at renewal. It excludes domain registrations, which registries price themselves, and Managed Cloud when it launches, which tracks hardware costs. The full wording is in our Terms of Service.
Can I move my existing site to Rack1?
Yes. Most sites move across without any downtime. Get in touch before you cancel anywhere else and we'll walk you through the DNS, email and database steps in plain English.
Ready when you are.
Pick a plan, point your domain, and let the platform take care of the rest. Not sure which one? Tell us about your site and we'll point you at the right shelf.
