Business Model & Revenue

Anchor Hosting runs on a subscription model. Customers pay a flat monthly or annual fee for fully managed WordPress hosting and support.

Despite having no team, no affiliates, and no seasonal discounts, Austin has grown the business to generate over $20,000 in monthly recurring revenue.
