The best web hosting providers.

Ultrafast PHP, sane caching defaults, and support engineers who solve real WordPress problems on first contact. The mid-tier managed WordPress sweet spot that's hard to beat — and the host we recommend for anyone running a real WordPress site without managed-enterprise budgets.

WordPress.org's official recommendation for a reason. One-click installs, a guided onboarding flow, and 24/7 support that doesn't assume you've shipped servers before. Performance isn't elite, but for someone launching their first site, the friendly dashboard and hand-holding setup outweigh the response-time gap.

The fastest managed WordPress host we've ever benchmarked. Premium price, premium hardware, and support engineers who genuinely understand PHP-FPM internals. If you're running a high-traffic WordPress site that generates real revenue, this is the host worth the upcharge.

Managed VPS without the surprise invoices. Spin up DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, or Google Cloud servers behind a sane control panel — perfect for agencies running 20+ client sites who want the performance of a VPS without the sysadmin burden.

The original managed WordPress host, built for scale. Stable, expensive, and the only host we tested with a real production-grade CLI for managing dozens of sites at once. If you're running mission-critical WordPress at agency or enterprise scale, this is the safe pick.

Surprisingly fast for a budget shared host — the Turbo tier delivers what it advertises. Worth a look if Hostinger doesn't fit your stack or you want a host that takes developer workflows seriously: shell access, choice of PHP version, and Git pre-installed on every plan.

A solid starter host with WordPress.org's other endorsement. Free domain, free SSL, no cPanel — and a response time that drags on certain regions. For a personal blog or a content site that doesn't need elite performance, the lifetime free domain alone makes it worth a look.

Underrated for mid-size online stores and high-traffic content sites. WooCommerce-optimized plans, dedicated IPs included on higher tiers, and the longest money-back guarantee in the industry. The 90-day refund window alone signals that they're confident in what they ship.

VPS hosting with SPanel — a free cPanel alternative that they built themselves. The smart play for sites outgrowing shared hosting that want managed VPS performance without locking into per-account cPanel license fees. Real-time malware scanning is the cherry on top.

Carbon-negative hosting that doesn't compromise on performance. For every kilowatt-hour of energy used, GreenGeeks buys 3× that amount in renewable energy credits — making them genuinely net-positive, not just net-zero. Solid SSD storage and a Cloudflare-powered CDN keep page loads snappy.

The world's biggest domain registrar, and the hosting is competent if not standout. GoDaddy's real win is bundling — if you're buying a domain anyway, their first-year combo pricing on hosting saves 40–60% versus pricing them separately. The dashboard isn't winning awards, but everything works.
