ZenBusiness
ZenBusiness packs everything you need in one LLC formation service – including filing, accounting, web design, and compliance tools and subscriptions. Applying online is easy – you can either choose a plan or select only the features you want. ZenBusiness’ services are competitively priced, but most of them – including the plan that includes LLC formation – are...
IONOS
IONOS offers pricing and stellar performance that’s hard to beat. IONOS’ range of hosting types and plans makes it ideal for almost everyone – e-commerce stores, creative agencies, corporations, and solopreneurs. However, IONOS isn’t perfect. Despite the steady uptime and useful hosting features, we found some issues with its customer support service.
LegalZoom
LegalZoom can help you form your LLC for free, but unlike many other providers, it offers a lot more than that. You can, for example, customize your package and add on exactly the additional legal and accounting services you need to optimize your spend. That said, you may be waiting a long time for a turnaround – unless you pay a hefty expedited processing fee.
Kamatera
Steady server performance makes Kamatera stand out against other VPS and cloud hosting providers. With its decent pricing plans and 30-day free trial, it's a great platform if you don't mind tinkering with your own servers. But if you're new to cloud and VPS hosting and there's no system administrator available, it might be a bit more of a challenge
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’ unique premium shared hosting plans are ideal for SMBs and e-commerce sites. Servers are configured specifically for WordPress, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce (Magento), and more. Overall, Nexcess makes website creation and management ridiculously easy and affordable. However, you will pay more than standard shared hosting rates for Nexcess’ scalable performance and...
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.
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...
BetterLegal
Despite ranking pricier than many other popular US company formation services, BetterLegal is still a worthy contender. The features bundled into BetterLegal’s LLC formation package are a step up. It combines the best of both worlds: professional legal and accounting support with the convenience of online LLC formation services. However, sole traders and corporations may fail...
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...
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.
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 .

10+ Best VPS Hosting Services Tested and Compared in 2025
A virtual private server (VPS) can offer things you could only dream about with shared hosting: high-end performance, more robust security, and greater control over configuration – all at a lower price than a dedicated server. Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to work. In reality, many hosts offer subpar hosting at premium VPS prices. That’s why the Website Planet team...
Best Completely FREE Cloud Hosting Services [2025]
Many hosting providers claim to offer free cloud hosting, but there’s always a trade-off, isn’t there? First off, you’re unlikely to find forever-free cloud hosting. Secondly, if you do, you’re probably going to have to submit to resource limits barely suitable for a small site or performance that isn’t up to par. So, what’s the next best thing? Free trials. Yes, many of...
8 Best GoDaddy Alternatives for Hosting & Domains 2025
Once a top choice for hosting and domain registration, GoDaddy has fallen short in several areas. Its “award-winning” 24/7 support is no longer a standout and any of its customers can tell you that live chat takes decades to respond. In my attempts to contact support, I experienced exactly that. High renewal rates, costly add-ons, and inferior plans make it even less...
10 Most Secure Web Hosting Services To Trust in 2025
Website security is something every site owner wants, but it’s often vaguely defined. If you’re running an online store, institutional site, or membership portal, you need hosting that offers real protection – not just buzzwords. That means features like firewalls, DDoS protection, SSLs, malware scanning, backups, and 24/7 monitoring. Many hosts advertise themselves as “the...

10 Best Namecheap Alternatives for Domains + Hosting [2025]
Namecheap is an attractive domain registration and hosting option, mostly due to its low introductory pricing. Once you’ve signed up, though, you may find its limited features and average performance underwhelming – especially when compared to other budget hosts. And then there’s the fact that Namecheap isn’t as affordable as you’d think since many non-negotiable security...

10 Best LLC Formation Services in Florida [2025]: Paid & FREE
As you may know, Florida is one of the most popular states to incorporate in thanks to its lack of state income tax, growing population, and top 5 GDP.

While many companies offer basic...
10 Best Web Hosts for Canada Tested in 2025 (+ 4 To Avoid)
As far as web hosting goes, Canadians have it pretty good. Local providers have some of the most competitive offers I’ve seen. Canadians can also take advantage of US-based hosts and infrastructure. Even so, you have to be careful because not all hosts (local or international) deliver on their promise. Some lure you in with low base prices but don’t provide free SSL,...

To guarantee your anonymity, you’ll need to buy a hosting service and a domain using crypto.

10 Best FREE VPS Hosting Trials (That Actually Work) in 2025
After weeks of extensive research looking for the best free VPS hosting, I’ve come to the conclusion that almost all free services are either a scam or simply not good. Instead, free VPS trials allow you to try out high-performance plans risk-free. But even then, some hosts like to make cancellation a real headache or severely limit your capabilities until you take out your...
10 Best DigitalOcean Alternatives: Our Expert Picks in 2025
DigitalOcean isn’t the most user-friendly host out there – and if you’re struggling, the free support tier is very limited. There’s no live chat, phone, or ticketing system, only email support. This isn’t just bad for beginners, but it can also slow down the workflow of seasoned developers. On top of that, DigitalOcean’s pricing can run high, which means if you want responsive...
10 Best Unlimited Bandwidth VPS Hosts in 2025
Not many VPS hosting providers offer unlimited bandwidth, and many of the ones that claim to offer “unlimited” or “unmetered” bandwidth throttle speeds or have fair use policies in place. That can be a serious drawback for high-resource sites like streaming platforms or e-commerce stores. This makes finding a decent VPS host with unlimited bandwidth like finding a needle in a...
