Accessibility on Hosting.com
Hosting.com hosts everything from WordPress sites to custom applications. Whatever you run, accessibility is decided by the code, templates and content you publish, not the hosting plan underneath.
That makes a regular scan useful whatever your stack: it tests the finished page your visitors actually receive.
Common Accessibility Issues on Hosting.com Sites
Missing text alternatives
Images, icons and image links published without alt text or accessible names.
Color contrast
Text and buttons with too little contrast against their background, often from theme or brand colors.
Form accessibility
Fields without visible labels, and errors that are shown only in color or never announced.
Keyboard access
Menus, dialogs and custom widgets that cannot be reached or closed with a keyboard.
Page structure
Missing page language, skipped heading levels and missing landmarks that make pages hard to navigate with a screen reader.
How AccessBell Scans Your Hosting.com Site
- Enter any public page. Paste the address of a page on your Hosting.com site into the scanner above. There is nothing to install on your hosting account: no plugin, no code snippet and no login.
- We load it in a real browser. AccessBell opens the page in headless Chrome and runs its scripts, so it tests what your visitors actually see, including content added by your theme, builder or plugins.
- We run the WCAG rules. The open-source axe-core engine checks the page against the standard you choose, and every result is mapped to the WCAG success criteria it affects.
- You see what is wrong in seconds. The free scan lists every issue it finds, ranked by severity, with the WCAG criteria each one fails. Start a free trial to get the failing code and the fix for each one. Our methodology explains exactly what runs and what still needs a person.

How to Fix What the Scan Finds

- Add scans to your release routine, so new issues are caught before they reach visitors.
- Run a free scan above on your homepage and a few key pages, fix issues starting with critical and serious, then rescan to confirm.
- For ongoing protection, AccessBell Pro monitors up to 500 URLs per domain every day and alerts you when a theme, app or plugin update introduces a new issue.
