Reviews
Bluebird Hosting
I’m always a little dubious when I see a host offering managed WordPress hosting at rock-bottom prices, but when I put Bluebird Hosting to the test, I was pretty impressed. Yes, there were a couple of teething problems at first (although nothing to do with the actual hosting), and the amount of storage you get on the Starter WordPress plan is downright ludicrous, but for...
HostUpon
HostUpon’s performance is good, and I was impressed with most of its features. However, I’m not a fan of having to pay extra for features that should be included by default, like SSL and backups. If you’re looking for a hosting service that can provide great performance, I’d recommend you check out Hostinger’s cheap plans, which already include everything you need.
WooCommerce
WooCommerce is an excellent WordPress plugin for creating an online store, but it’s not the most beginner-friendly. Read our review to find out if it’s right for you.
LetsHost
When I started testing LetsHost, my hopes weren’t particularly high. I’m not going to pretend it’s got a lot of standout features, and it doesn’t have the best performance.
eUKhost
eUKhost claims to be the “No. 1 independent solutions experts” – but is that claim true (and what does it even mean)? My thorough testing of all eUKhost’s web hosting features uncovered the power of its WordPress toolkit.
Clover Sites
Clover Sites has a great set of features for building church websites. The intuitive editor is designed with beginners in mind, but there are also more advanced tools if you want more creative control. The selection of responsive templates is not nearly as wide as Wix offers, but they’re all really well designed.
SKGOLD Hosting
SKGOLD Hosting makes some big promises and advertises really low prices, so I wanted to see if it could live up to its claims. While its performance was very good for a budget host, other aspects of its service were less impressive.
Web Hosting Canada
When a host claims to be “blazing fast”, I can’t help but be sceptical, so I had to put Web Hosting Canada (WHC) to the test. As I expected, there are definitely faster Canadian hosts and I encountered a couple of other issues – but there are a few things about WHC that I like.
Hibu
A website builder that builds a website for you? Won’t that be horribly expensive? With Hibu Smart Sites, the answer is “no.” Hibu is an affordable route to a professionally designed website that you can add to and edit yourself later. The build team incorporates a type of code called schema into your site, helping you to climb up search engine rankings. Yes, it’s more...
Eco Web Hosting
It was nice to read that Eco Web Hosting takes various measures to reduce its carbon footprint, but I was surprised to find that it actually has a lot more to offer. There’s plenty to like about its hosting packages, but I did find that its performance didn’t quite meet the company’s claims. In addition, some of its plans are on the pricey side.
Heart Internet
If you serve an audience in the north of England, Heart Internet may seem like a great choice due to its Leeds-based data centre – but is it really? While it offers a generous amount of SSD storage on reliable cloud-based servers, there are some essential features missing from its hosting plans, requiring expensive upgrades. This is why Heart Internet isn’t one of my top...
LinuxCloudVPS.com
LinuxCloudVPS.com is a long-standing U.S. host with its own data center. Its plans come with a solid uptime SLA, excellent customer service, and SSD storage. The only downsides are a short money-back guarantee period and a few unnecessary add-ons.
Sibername
Sibername has a lot of value-added features that make it seem like a really great choice, especially considering its low prices. But some of those features sound too good to be true, so I put it to the test, wondering if there was a catch. Unfortunately, I did discover a few downsides.
CanSpace Solutions
After months of testing CanSpace, I’m still not convinced that it’s as great as it makes itself out to be. There are some definite positives and it has all the features I look for, but some aspects of its performance were a bit of a letdown.
tsoHost
As a host that advertises cloud hosting even with its economy packages, you’d expect tsoHost to deliver on performance – after all, its website promises that “you can count on Mach speeds”. I never take web hosting claims at face value, however, and my thorough testing of tsoHost reveals some good points, but some (very) bad points too.

SiteGround vs DigitalOcean: Close Match, but Only One Winner [2026]
