Name.com: WordPress Hosting renamed to Managed WordPress
What happened
Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of Name.com's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: "WordPress Hosting" renamed to "Managed WordPress" in the hosting section and comparison table; features, URL, and pricing unchanged. In detail: "WordPress Hosting" plan/product renamed to "Managed WordPress" in the hosting section heading and the hosting-comparison table column header; features, URL (/wordpress-hosting), and price placeholder unchanged. Pulse files it as a packaging change (plan renamed) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Sep 14, 2026) lists One Page Website at $0.42, Managed WordPress at $6, Cloud Hosting 25GB Droplet at $6, Web Hosting Personal at $6 and Web Hosting Premium at $8.
It lands 67 days after Name.com's previous change, "Name.com rebrands WordPress Hosting as Managed WordPress across plans" (Apr 27, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Name.com launches 81% off flash sale replacing 50% Workspace promo" (Apr 24, 2026). Name.com has been tracked since 2026-03-01.
In the same window Hostgator, Google, Dreamhost and Hover also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
