Managing Editor
Emily is the Managing Editor at Website Planet.

Since joining the team in 2019, Emily has worked with writers and editors to publish articles on everything from website builders and freelance websites to email marketing software and logo design services.

With a degree in English Language and Linguistics under her belt, Emily started her career in print journalism before making the move to content marketing where she has written, edited, content managed and consulted on countless brands and clients. As a freelancer, she has worked with a fair few digital marketing tools, so it was only ever a matter of time before she decided to share her many thoughts about them at Website Planet.

Her favourite project to date is producing and managing the digital platform at the UN’s Climate Conference COP26. But, watching the Website Planet team and platform grow over the years has to be up there too.

When she’s not weighing up the strengths and weaknesses of the best email marketing software, she spends most of her time thinking, taking photos of, and talking endlessly about her (almost Insta-famous) cats Loki and Odin.

Hostinger

I wasn’t prepared for Hostinger to impress me this much. Strong performance and a global server network make it some of the best shared hosting I’ve come across, and its beginner-friendly hPanel and useful AI tools make set-up effortless for beginners. The only trade-offs? Support could be better, and you’ll need to commit to a longer plan for the best prices.

Shopify

Shopify is simply fantastic for any retail-oriented business and loaded with features. The cheapest plan is more than enough to get your online business started. That said, some other e-commerce platforms make it easier to customize your site, at the same price points. It’ll come down to individual features, and which of those you think are better for your business.

IONOS Website Builder

MyWebsite Now from IONOS is a dead-simple site builder with very low prices. If you want to get a website up and running very quickly, it could be just right. It also has a nifty e-commerce feature in case you’re starting an online store. Just be aware that the English version is not available in all countries. If you’re in the right region, it’s worth a glance!

Liquid Web

Liquid web charges premium prices for a premium service. If you’re looking for an entry-level service, this wouldn’t be my first choice, but if you’re willing to invest more for a more powerful host, then I do believe its hosting plans are worth the price. Liquid Web guarantees stability and performance in a way that shared hosting services simply can’t.

Elementor

Elementor gives you an unmatched level of design freedom for building your WordPress website. Thanks to its feature variety and powerful interface, there’s no limit to the kinds of websites you can create. However, the best features are reserved for the Pro plans, which don’t always justify their price.

STRATO Website Builder

STRATO offers an easy-to-use business-aimed website builder, a smooth user experience, and integrations with the rest of STRATO’s services. It’s still a little scant on features for more ambitious sites, and only available in a handful of regions. If you want to create a professional website quickly, though, STRATO could be just right for you.

Webnode

Webnode has some great features that you won't find elsewhere, including robust support for SEO and multilingual websites. That said, it also has some annoying limitations, and its editor is not the easiest to use. If you don't mind the learning curve, it might be the right choice for you.

Jimdo

At this point in time, Jimdo’s alright. If you’re just starting out, you’ll appreciate its fairly reasonable prices and a simple, user-friendly editor. That said, it’s still missing a few important features (like blogging), and it may not be the best choice if you have more complex site building needs.

10 Best Hostinger Alternatives for Better Speed & Support (2026)

While Hostinger is a strong choice for beginners and small websites, it isn’t the best choice for everyone.

7 Best HostGator Alternatives That Offer More Value in 2026

Once upon a time, HostGator was one of the best hosting providers on the net. But these days, you get slow loading speeds, basic security, and support that often leaves you waiting.

7 Best Free Web Hosting for Students on a Budget in 2026

Most hosting services for students either lack user-friendly design or have frustratingly poor performance. This can be a significant hurdle when you need to focus on your studies and don’t have the time (or money) to deal with hosting issues. Plus, hosting can get expensive fast and even more so if you choose a host with a lot of add-on or hidden costs. I tried to find the...

Hostinger vs DreamHost: Which Offers Better Value in 2026?

Hostinger and DreamHost are among the most well-known names in web hosting. This popularity doesn’t come purely from being extremely marketing-conscious companies (though, to be fair, also that), but mainly because they’re often considered two of the best budget options on the market. However, when you consider everything you need from a hosting provider, such as...

10 Best DigitalOcean Alternatives: Our Expert Picks in 2026

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 can be a major roadblock for experienced developers and beginners alike. DigitalOcean isn’t cheap either, so being forced to pay extra for quality support is all the more...
