A2 Hosting

Unlike some older hosting providers whose glory days are long past, A2 Hosting still performs better than a lot of the newer, flashier providers out there. You can trust your site will offer your visitors a fast, reliable browsing experience on every visit. The only downside was a lack of service from the customer service and support teams.

Nexcess

Nexcess has been fully acquired by Liquid Web! For the latest information, check out our Liquid Web review. Liquid Web’s managed hosting (formerly Nexcess) is ideal for SMBs and e-commerce sites. With specialized servers for WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, and more, it's an affordable alternative to other managed services, even if it's still pricier than standard shared...

Vietnix

Vietnix has gained acclaim for offering hosting plans with lower-than-usual rates that still pack on the features. However, as a Vietnamese web host with local data centers only, it's best suited for websites targeting visitors in the region. That said, its support is very helpful and on par with international hosts.

InMotion Hosting

I tested out InMotion Hosting’s shared hosting service. My key takeaways? Expect satisfactory performance, pricing, and features. Definitely make sure to add InMotion Hosting to your list if you’re a developer, agency, or reseller due to its unlimited features. However, be prepared to pay extra for backups and there’s no compensation if you experience downtime on the basic...

MochaHost

Mochahost is a pretty good budget host, and while it does have its flaws, so do its competitors. On the whole, you can’t complain about its VPS and shared hosting packages, which offer abundant resources at a fair price. However, some of the best perks are only available on the most expensive plans. Before you make any final decisions, you should check out Hostinger's cheap...

Nimbus Hosting

Founded in 2011, Nimbus Hosting focuses on providing hosting primarily for resellers. It has a solid uptime service level agreement, lots of positive customer reviews, and excellent customer service statistics. Plus, its hosting is powered by 100% renewable energy. However, there are a few reasons why it just missed being included on our list of the top ten hosts.

4.5

Namecheap

While Namecheap’s fame comes from its competitively priced domain registration, it also offers less-known but worthwhile hosting services. After extensive testing, I found Namecheap to be beginner-friendly, reliable, and surprisingly fast. However, its features aren’t as robust as some other competitors, especially for managed WordPress plans. My advice is to ensure...

Vercaa Hosting

“Managed cloud hosting at a reasonable price” is how I’d sum up Vercaa Hosting. Beginner-friendly tools, 1-click installations, excellent support, and big discounts for long-term plans are attractive features. However, there are performance issues, particularly with slow loading speeds outside of Europe. I'd recommend this host if your target audience is in France and western...

4.5

DreamHost

DreamHost is certainly a dream to set up. It ranked high for usability and customer support in my tests and it’s an affordable choice thanks to generous first-term discounts. But despite being a good budget host, DreamHost may not be your top option if you’re seeking advanced features and reliable global performance.

4.4

Fasthosts

Fasthosts offers a diverse range of hosting plans and services, including affordable WordPress hosting. While our previous tests revealed some problems with reliability, it seems the host has improved its offering since then. Keep reading to find out how this host ranks now in .

4.4

Bluehost

Bluehost gets a lot of good publicity, and it seems it’s warranted. The host scored above average for ease of use and support. But in our tests, we noted it falls short in performance and also lacks many features that are standard with our top hosts. Overall, it’s a mixed bag, but it might still be the host for you.

4.3

HostStage

In its own words, HostStage is a full-service host made for digital/internet marketers. Its unique SEO and marketing tools, global data centers, 24/7 chat support, and range of hosting plans and VPS configurations certainly appeal to this demographic. And its pricing isn’t too shabby, either. That said, I do find its marketing of “yet-to-be-released” features a bit...

4.2

Serverspace

Serverspace cuts out the red tape and gives you off-contract hosting with both flexible and fixed plans. Hourly billing, “anytime” cancellation, and instant resource scaling are some other appealing features. However, Serverspace’s enterprise-grade hosting can be quite pricey, unlike similar plans from IONOS – so it may be best for hobbyists rather than businesses.

4.2

Name.com

Name.com isn’t just an accredited domain registrar but a hosting provider as well. Its plans are user-friendly, affordable, and feature-rich. However, you’ll notice some gaps, including a lack of powerful first-party hosting and robust security features. While it’s certainly functional if you only need basic shared hosting, enterprise-level sites won’t be well-accommodated...

4.2

ZZZ.com.ua

ZZZ.com.ua is a Ukraine-based host that earns attention for its low-cost hosting plans. In fact, shared hosting packages are so cheap that ZZZ.com.ua is practically giving them away. If that weren't enough, it also offers a free plan – though this is misleading. Additionally, plans lack security and support. Overall, if you're looking for an exceptional value-to-price ratio,...

10 Best WordPress Multisite Hosting Providers in 2026

If you’re setting up a network of blog sites, WordPress Multisite can make management much easier – but only if you choose the right host. While many web hosts support Multisite configurations, not all of them deliver the performance you need to keep your network running smoothly. For the best results, a specialized WordPress hosting plan is your best bet. In the very...
