Common questions
How do you review web hosts?
We look at real-world speed, uptime, ease of use, support quality and the true price after the introductory discount ends.
Do you use affiliate links?
Yes. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you. It never changes our verdicts.
Which hosting type should a beginner choose?
For most new blogs and small business sites, a good shared or managed WordPress plan is plenty. You can move to VPS or cloud hosting later as traffic grows.
