WPX Professional vs BigScoots: $2,400 for 15 Sites or $350/Year for One?

Quick verdict

Choose **WPX Professional** when 6–15 WordPress sites are a real requirement, you can justify a five-year prepayment and you want one managed account with business email, CDN, malware removal and a large shared resource pool.

Choose **BigScoots Essential 75** when one revenue-critical site matters more than site count and you value shorter commitment, downloadable off-server backups and hands-on WordPress operations.

Cash commitment: $2,399.60 versus $350

WPX Professional's current $39.99 monthly equivalent requires **$2,399.60 prepaid for five years**. The regular monthly reference is $59.99.

BigScoots Essential 75 is **$350 prepaid yearly** or $35 month-to-month.

WPX therefore asks for **$2,049.60 more cash up front** than one BigScoots annual payment. Annualized, WPX's five-year payment equals about **$479.92 per year**, only $129.92 above BigScoots' current annual price—but the commitment is five times longer.

Site count: one versus up to fifteen

WPX Professional supports **up to 15 websites** with 40GB storage and 400GB bandwidth.

BigScoots Essential 75 includes **one site** with 10GB storage and 150GB bandwidth.

BigScoots allows site add-ons at **$9.95/month or $119.40/year per extra site**, and extra storage at **$5 per 5GB monthly or $60 per 5GB yearly**. Added sites remain within the service traffic limits and growth can require an upgrade.

One extra BigScoots site therefore brings today's annual cash to **$469.40 before storage upgrades**, almost the same as WPX Professional's $479.92 annualized five-year cost—but with radically different site capacity and commitment.

Published resources: shared pool versus site-specific service envelope

WPX Professional publishes **15GB RAM, 2 CPU cores and 45 PHP workers** for the account. WPX also labels visitor counting as unlimited, but CPU and other account resources remain finite.

BigScoots Essential 75 uses a different service model: one site, 75K visits, 10GB storage and 150GB bandwidth, backed by a WordPress-focused WPO environment with proactive monitoring and hands-on resource/problem management.

BigScoots also markets no overages or throttling, but its published plan boundaries and terms still need to be treated as operational planning limits.

These are different resource semantics, not benchmark results.

Backup and recovery workflow

WPX includes automatic daily backups with **28-day retention** across WordPress plans.

BigScoots WPO backups are off-server, retained up to **30 days**, and support restore, download and up to five manual backups.

The two-day retention difference is trivial. The meaningful distinction is export and recovery workflow. BigScoots explicitly supports downloading WPO backups; WPX buyers should verify their preferred export/recovery method.

Keep an independent off-platform copy for any revenue-critical site because provider terms never eliminate your own data responsibility.

Management depth and who owns the work

WPX includes CDN, malware scanning/removal, security, migration and 24/7 support, but its managed-hosting documentation says customers still own content, SEO, advertising, passwords and third-party code issues.

BigScoots positions WPO as higher-touch site-specific management and says its team helps with plugin conflicts, database issues, stuck PHP processes, security and resource problems.

For one mission-critical site, that deeper application-level help can replace real staff or contractor time. For a portfolio of 10–15 routine sites, WPX Professional's larger account capacity may be more valuable.

Migration and evaluation risk

WPX says approved migrations are normally transferred within **24 hours**, with one migration form per website, and its current cart advertises a **30-day money-back guarantee**.

BigScoots includes managed migrations and currently offers a **45-day money-back guarantee**.

A 15-site move to WPX requires careful migration scheduling because each site is a separate request. A one-site move to BigScoots is operationally simpler.

Checkout checklist

For **WPX**, confirm Professional, the **$2,399.60 five-year prepayment** if choosing the $39.99 equivalent, $59.99 regular reference, 15-site limit, 40GB storage, 400GB bandwidth, 15GB RAM, 2 CPU, 45 PHP workers, migration plan and 28-day backups.

For **BigScoots**, confirm Essential 75, $350 annual versus $35 monthly, one-site/75K/10GB/150GB limits, backup download/retention workflow, migration scope and whether any $119.40/year site add-on or $60/year per 5GB storage add-on will be needed.

Who should buy which?

**Buy WPX Professional** when a real multi-site portfolio needs one managed account and the five-year commitment is acceptable.

**Buy BigScoots Essential 75** when one important WordPress site deserves deeper hands-on management and lower commitment.

**Bottom line:** WPX Professional buys portfolio scale; BigScoots Essential 75 buys concentrated one-site care.
