Faaaster (ex. Themecloud) Startup Deals & Discounts

Faaaster runs a partnership program for early-stage companies and open-source projects that want managed WordPress hosting without the usual first-year cost. The program is application-based: founders describe their company, their project, and what they are building, and the team reviews each request individually rather than handing out a blanket public discount. Approved startups receive a meaningful price reduction on hosting plans, with the typical value landing in the few-hundred-dollar range over the course of a year.

The fit here is narrow but real. Because every site runs in its own isolated container on Google Cloud, the platform suits a startup whose marketing site, blog, or content-heavy WordPress property needs to stay fast and resilient as traffic grows, without the team hiring a DevOps person to babysit it. Open-source maintainers who host documentation or community sites on WordPress are an equally natural fit. If your product does not run on WordPress at all, the program will not be relevant, so it rewards companies that already live in that ecosystem and want managed infrastructure they can hand off and forget.

• Startup marketing sites and blogs - founders who need a fast, resilient WordPress presence that scales with traffic without hiring DevOps.
• Agencies managing many client sites - staging, cloning, blueprints, and scoped permissions make it practical to run dozens of WordPress sites from one dashboard.
• Freelance WordPress developers - build on staging, sync to production in one click, and hand clients a managed, secured site.
• E-commerce on WooCommerce - per-site isolation and Redis-backed caching help dynamic, cart-heavy stores stay responsive.
• Open-source documentation and community sites - maintainers who host WordPress docs or community hubs and want managed infrastructure they can forget about.

Faaaster offers around five managed WordPress plans, priced from roughly eight euros per month (excluding tax) at the entry level and scaling up by resources such as memory, storage, and the number of sites supported.

• Entry tier - a single small site or a personal project, with the full managed feature set included.
• Growth tiers - more memory, storage, and capacity for higher-traffic sites or several sites under one account, suited to agencies and growing stores.
• Higher tiers - additional resources and headroom for content-heavy or busy WordPress properties.

All plans include the core platform: per-site containers on Google Cloud, caching and CDN, daily backups, security, and staging environments. There is no commitment, plan changes are free and immediate, and a 30-day trial is available without a credit card. Because pricing is in euros and exact tier specifications are not fully published, confirm the current resources and totals for your region before subscribing.
