Reviews
Hostinger
When I first heard about Hostinger’s very affordable hosting plans, I suspected this might be yet another web hosting provider that cuts corners just to lure you in with a low price. But when I launched a test website on Hostinger’s servers, I was pleasantly surprised by the results.
SiteGround
My review of SiteGround's shared hosting services turned up more than a few pleasant surprises, including how user-friendly it is to work with. A veteran host, SiteGround has kept up with the times and still has a lot to offer if you’re running a personal blog or an online business.
HostArmada
HostArmada is relatively new to the hosting game, but in a short amount of time it has managed to catch up and surpass some of its bigger competitors. Come for the cute sci-fi-themed plan names, and stay for the excellent loading speeds, inclusive customer experience, and great value.
Northwest Registered Agent
The most impressive things about Northwest Registered Agent are its same-day filing process and its “local” offices in each state. Another is that your order is customizable, as the company only offers one plan with basic services – you choose the add-ons. The only things keeping it from being truly great are pricey upsells and hard-to-reach support, but otherwise, it’s a...
Bizee (Incfile)
ALERT! Incfile has rebranded to Bizee! Bizee (formerly Incfile) has a lot to offer nearly any small business or non-profit startup, with plenty of useful features in fairly-priced plans and no hidden fees. You not only receive the foundational LLC formation service, but you can opt for additional services to help you run your business. File your taxes, create annual...
GreenGeeks
At first glance, I thought GreenGeeks might be hiding average service behind claims of being the most environmentally friendly web host. Upon a closer look, I found genuinely promising features and plans – as well as a few drawbacks. GreenGeeks' affordable, green web hosting may be right for you, but I’ve outlined some considerations below.
ClickPress
When looking for managed WordPress hosting, a smaller and lesser-known host like ClickPress can easily get overlooked in favor of bigger hosting brands. Well, as our testing shows, that would be a big mistake. This host is well worth giving serious consideration. It may be a little host but it’s capable of serving up some big results.
MyCompanyWorks
My research has led me to conclude that MyCompanyWorks is a reputable and helpful LLC formation service, offering feature-filled but somewhat pricey plans. It is possibly best suited to well-financed beginners. Whether MyCompanyWorks is right for you will greatly depend on what you want and how much you are willing to pay for it.
MyHostingPartner
While I appreciate that MyHostingPartner offers unlimited resources at budget-friendly prices, the limited customer support let me down. If you’re looking for a European host, I wouldn’t recommend MyHostingPartner for beginners who need a lot of help, but experienced site owners might find its affordable, reliable hosting a good fit.
HostPapa
HostPapa delivers decent performance and relatively affordable plans, more so if you happen to catch one of its regular promotion periods. However, it doesn’t offer anything groundbreaking when compared to other hosts. If you want an affordable host with better performance as well as plenty of extra features, give Hostinger a try.
LegalShield
LegalShield is a compelling option for solo or married-couple LLC owners who want legal services or advice on an ongoing basis. Partnership or multi-member LLC owners will have to look elsewhere, though, and some may find the sign-up process a little lacking.
HappyByte
Greece-based hosting provider HappyByte may have the resources and wallet-friendly prices to keep you a happy customer for a long time. The number of resources available for its shared hosting plans are also a pleasant surprise. However, HappyByte’s lack of data centers and Greek-only website may be a deciding factor for your hosting needs.
123 Reg
From advertising "free" features that are only available if you pay annually to non-supportive support and a pretty frustrating onboarding experience, my time with 123 Reg was worthy of a "fail" video on YouTube. If you’re seriously looking for an affordable web host with a good European reach and better service, I suggest you try Hostinger instead.
MyCorporation
My research determined that while MyCorporation offers some nice features and services, those simply can't make up for the shortcomings in pricing, transparency, or support. I'd recommend any prospective LLC owner looking for a budget-friendly LLC formation service to check out ZenBusiness instead.
GoDaddy Hosting
After testing GoDaddy, I can say one thing: avoid the basic shared hosting. It’s simply not worth the price tag (Hostinger offers better performance and lower costs on long-term plans). That said, GoDaddy’s WordPress hosting is a good option, but I’ll warn you now – to get all the best features, it will cost you!

There are plenty of so-called cheap web hosting providers out there, but most end up costing you in one way or another.

Hostinger vs DreamHost: Our Expert Recommendation in 2025

10 Cheapest Email Hosting Services (Safe + Reliable) in 2025
Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook are great email providers with free accounts, but they don’t scream “professional.” You need a dedicated email server to provide you with the credibility, scalability, reliability, and security you need for your business.
