Are you searching for a reliable shared hosting solution that works seamlessly with WordPress (and Breakdance, of course) while being affordable, user-friendly, regularly updated, and backed by excellent support?
Back in 2005, I needed reliable Hong Kong-based web hosting that could serve both Chinese and global audiences. That's when ICDSoft was recommended to me.
Now in 2025, I still maintain that original account along with many others for my websites and clients' sites. That's two decades of proven performance and satisfaction.
With 20 years of experience working with various hosting providers—from SiteGround to Bluehost and OVH—I've learned one universal truth: they all fall short compared to ICDSoft.
Most shared hosting plans are generally affordable, making price a minor concern. However, unlike SiteGround which offers a discounted rate for the first year that rises significantly upon renewal, renewing your account with ICDSOFT is even more budget-friendly.
Their unique discount policy rewards loyal customers - the more active accounts you maintain with them, the greater savings you'll enjoy on both new purchases and renewals.
While many providers offer similar services at comparable prices, ICDSOFT stands out with truly exceptional support, it's simply unmatched.
Need help at 2 AM on a Sunday? No problem. Their team responds within 5-10 minutes with actual human solutions, not automated replies. Distance and time zones are never barriers.
I once struggled with a problematic script, not only did they diagnose the issue, but they went above and beyond by fixing the PHP code themselves. That's the kind of dedication you won't find elsewhere.
The trustpilot reviews should give you a good indication. Most messages praise the support for being fast, professional, and knowledgeable.
Shared hosting plans often receive criticism for poor performance, but this isn't always the case. While server quality plays a significant role, website performance also depends on how your site is built. With modern page builders like Breakdance and proper optimization practices, you can achieve excellent results on shared hosting.
The independent WordPress Hosting Performance Benchmarks compared numerous hosting providers, and ICDSoft consistently ranked among the top performers.
ICDSoft had the fastest wp-login, Page and Login speed on the Load Storm test. It also had the third fastest p95.
WordPress Hosting Performance BenchmarksIn a real-world scenario, it performs very well. Personally, I don't use optimization plugins. A free caching plugin like Cache Enabler is more than sufficient.
Throughout the year, they have introduced several impressive features for WordPress users, including a WordPress Manager and WordPress MultiManager.
The WordPress Manager offers users an intuitive interface to manage multiple aspects of their WordPress installations, including updates, backups, security, staging, and various technical configurations, all from a centralized dashboard.
And yes, I am already running PHP 8.4 on my website 😜
The WordPress MultiManager is a free web management tool that allows users to monitor and manage multiple WordPress websites from a single centralized interface, enabling easy updates of core, themes, and plugins, user management, and quick dashboard access.
The ICDSoft Reseller Program is a flexible hosting business solution allowing partners to purchase and resell hosting accounts, domain names, and SSL certificates at deeply discounted prices.
Partners can benefit from volume discounts up to 90%, access a free white-label solution, and receive automated billing tools, enabling web agencies and entrepreneurs to create their own hosting business with minimal investment and comprehensive support.
One account comes with a single primary domain, but don't worry, you can still park multiple domain names or create unlimited subdomains, just like my setup:

Accessibility from China was the key reason I chose their services back in 2005.
They have servers in Hong Kong (also in Europe and USA), making it highly convenient for ensuring quick access to your website in Asia.
Shared hosting servers can get blocked in China. When this happened to me multiple times, I contacted ICDSOFT, and they promptly moved my account to another server at no additional cost.
While my experience is primarily with their shared hosting services, they also provide other solutions including Managed VPS, Node.js hosting, and more.
