With Cloudflare free CDN, SSD storage, scalable resources from Google Cloud, Elementor’s layers of security and monitoring, allow you to be rest assured that your website is safe and top performing, so you can focus on creating.

Elementor is a Managed WordPress Hosting powered by Google Cloud Platform. This means you get protection for your website data, applications, and infrastructure. Additionally, it protects customers from fraudulent activity, spam, and abuse with the same infrastructure and security services that Google uses.
We use specially tailored Kubernetes-based services to support your website’s changing needs, being able to spin up new servers to support high loads automatically. This allows us to scale your Elementor Hosted website applications up and down to fit changing needs.

Your website is fully hosted on Elementor servers in Belgium. We do all the heavy lifting around server maintenance so you can focus on building your website.

 

Note that CDN is built into our offering in order to give you the best possible website availability and performance. This means we provide you with a geographically distributed network of servers and data centers. CDN takes load off the origin server and if one location becomes unavailable, another location serves the content. With content distributed across many locations worldwide, applications can handle higher traffic volumes. Additionally, this distribution helps users reach your website faster loading content in less time. Website owners should be aware that different countries may have different regulations regarding information security requirements and the location of servers. If there are any questions regarding this topic, please reach out to us.

You can transfer your website at any time to any hosting provider, without restrictions. There are 3 main methods to export your website:

  1. You can use Elementor’s Import/Export feature
  2. Use WordPress’s built-in export functionality and import it to your new host.
  3. You can also export and download the latest backup to your local computer and import it on your new hosting.

As Elementor hosting plans include the Elementor Website Builder Pro Plugin, please note that you would need to purchase one of the Elementor Pro plugin plans so that all of your Elementor Pro features will work properly on your site with your new hosting provider.

You can easily connect your custom domain to your Elementor hosted website through the My Elementor dashboard. For a detailed explanation, check out our article about Adding Your Custom Domain.

We monitor for malicious behavior of websites and will stop websites if we suspect they have been hacked. That being said, we do encourage you to take additional steps to guarantee your website’s security.

Similar to security, there are multiple types of optimizations. You do not need to install any plugin that helps optimization through caching. However, if you have large media files, for example, you might want to install plugins that improve image loading.

There is no need for additional backup plugins. We provide daily backups, and you can manually back up at any time.

We are still focused on making Elementor the best editor possible, while improving web creators’ experience of working with WordPress and Elementor. Our aim is to enable users to be creative, without having to worry about hosting as part of their “must haves” when building a website.

These capabilities are being developed in parallel with our continuous work on the core plugin product. This includes performance improvements, new features, updated infrastructure, and overall building the future of the Editor. Elementor’s Hosting is part of that future, as it offers a streamlined way to enjoy creating and publishing your website.

If your Elementor Hosting subscription expires and you choose not to renew after our reminders, the following actions will take place:

  • Your website will be suspended with no editing capabilities and with limited access to your site.
  • You will have 70 days from the expiration date to renew your subscription. You can renew your subscription directly from the my.elementor.com dashboard. Once you renew, your website will be fully restored.
  • At 70 days after the expiration date, if you have not renewed your subscription your website and data will be deleted.

We always recommend keeping the auto-renew setting on to prevent this from happening so you can enjoy continuous, uninterrupted service.

Billing

Elementor’s free version offers limitless design possibilities. Elementor Pro, however, empowers you with more professional tools that speed up your workflow, and allow you to get more conversions and sales. See all free and pro features here.

You can use Stripe, PayPal or any credit card to pay for Elementor Pro.

Sure can! Elementor Pro was built specifically to help your web design business get more clients. You can start with our Expert plan, letting you use Elementor Pro on up to 25 sites, and grow with plans dedicated to larger design teams like our Studio (100 sites) and Agency (1000 sites).

An expired subscription will not affect your website’s online status. However, it does mean that you won’t have access to valuable features and benefits. If you do not renew your subscription, you will lose access to the following:

  • Pro widgets and features will be locked

  • You won’t get new releases or security updates 

  • Access to Pro website kits and templates will be closed or limited  

  • Premium support will be discontinued

  • Early adopter discounts will not be renewed

  • “Legacy Expert” subscriptions purchased before March 9th 2021 will be canceled indefinitely

Your existing projects will remain intact, but to keep your websites in working form for the long run, it is highly recommended to renew your subscription on time.

Sure, you can upgrade any time and get a license for a whole year with premium support & unlimited access to the template library. You just need to cover the difference.

Elementor Pro is an extension of Elementor. After you upgrade to Pro, you can continue just where you left off, without any interruptions. In fact, you’ll be able to leverage your existing pages using the Pro features.

Since our launch, we became known for our frequent feature releases, and plan to keep working hard to deliver new and promising features & templates nearly every week.

In case you want to transfer your Elementor Pro license from one domain to another:
  1. Head over to your account , under ‘Websites’, locate the website you want to Deactivate.
  2. Then, click on the 3 dots menu on that website, and click “View related subscription”.
  3. From there, choose the website you want to disconnect and click “Disconnect Website”
In order to reactivate your Elementor Pro license on another domain see this article.
Keep in mind there is a limit on the number of unique domains that can be used under a subscription.

We don’t offer a demo version of Elementor Pro for trial. However, we have a refund policy which lets you cancel your purchase and gets a refund during the first 30 days. So you can try it for a month and then decide if you want to keep it or not.
