Many Albanian business websites run on WordPress, and many of them sit on cheap shared hosting abroad: slow from Tirana, support only in English, backups nobody has tested, and a renewal invoice that doubles in year two. When something breaks, the owner does not know whom to call.
AppAlbania Host is managed WordPress hosting run by our team in Tirana. You pick a plan, pay by card, and your hosting panel is created right away with WordPress installed. If your site already lives somewhere else, we move it for free.

What “managed” means here
Every plan includes the things a business site needs without a developer on call:
- Free SSL: an HTTPS certificate for every domain, renewed automatically.
- Fast pages: server-level caching on an NGINX or OpenLiteSpeed stack, with FastCGI page caching, WooCommerce exclusions and Redis object cache available from the panel.
- WordPress, ready to go: your first site is installed after payment, on the domain you choose.
- The PHP version you need: switch between PHP 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 from the panel.
- One-click sign-in: go from your account straight into the hosting panel and WP Admin.
- Local support: the AppAlbania team helps with your domain, email and site, in Albanian or English.
Security tools in the panel
The hosting panel lets you turn on a 7G/8G firewall and bot protection, disable XML-RPC, password-protect a site and run security scans. You also get a browser file manager and SFTP access, SMTP setup so WordPress emails arrive reliably, and logs for troubleshooting.
Backups you control
Backups go to your own storage, such as Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2 or Wasabi, which means the copies of your site are in an account you own, not only on the same server as the site.
Free migration from your current host
Switching should not mean rebuilding. We move your WordPress site, including files, themes, plugins, the WordPress or WooCommerce database and SSL, at no cost:
- Send us the request on WhatsApp or with the support form: your site address and current host.
- We copy your site. We contact you to get access safely and move the site to your new hosting.
- Check it and switch DNS. We show you the site ready, then you point your domain to us. Your old site stays live until then.
Free migration applies to WordPress sites hosted on an active plan, and we also help with DNS and your domain.
Prefer to do it yourself? Our free migration plugin
Migration by AppAlbania is the free, open-source WordPress backup and migration plugin we built and share openly. It packs the whole site (database, media, plugins and themes) into one .xhin file and restores it on any server, including your new hosting with us.
- No size limits: built for very large sites, working in small, resumable steps
- Links and paths are fixed automatically on the new site
- Compressed and verified, with optional AES-256 encryption
- Tested on nginx, Apache and OpenLiteSpeed, with PHP 7.4 to 8.5
- Server-to-server links: paste a migration link on the new site and it pulls the backup directly
The process: install the plugin on the old site and click Create backup; install it on your new site with us (WP Admin is one click from the hosting panel); upload the file or paste the migration link and click Restore; check the site, then point your domain to us using the DNS records shown in your account. Details and download are on the Migration by AppAlbania page and in the step-by-step guide.
Billing without surprises
- You pay by debit or credit card through Stripe, charged automatically every month, with the invoice emailed to you and available as a PDF in My account.
- You can change plan at any time; the difference is prorated for the days left.
- You can cancel from My account. Your sites stay online until the end of the paid period and you are not charged again. Payments already made are not refunded.
- If a payment fails, Stripe retries it and you can update your card. If the invoice stays unpaid, sites are paused until it is paid; nothing is deleted.
Add systems to your site
Hosting is the base. On top of it you can add an AI chatbot trained on your website, automatic customer messages with the WhatsApp System or the SMS Gateway, all billed from the same AppAlbania account. If you need a new website rather than a new home for an old one, see our work or contact us.

Yes. Plan changes are prorated. If you cancel, your sites stay online until the end of the paid period.
