    No KINSTA (kinsta.com)!? Really!? They are, like, THE BEST of all of those on the list!

    1. Ryan Sullivan Avatar

      Dusan this is a first iteration. There are so many choices and we had to start somewhere. We’re going to keep updating this article every few months. Kinsta is definitely on our radar!

      1. Ahmad Awais Avatar

        Ryan, nice review — couple really great choices here.

        But yes, you gotta include Kinsta in there. I stand behind that hosting company. The support offered by Kinsta is just amazing, it’s probably the best in the WP Community. I’ve seen a massive (~200%) speed and hence traffic/SERP improvement just by moving to Kinsta.

        Let me know if you’d like to chat about Kinsta. And no, I have no affiliation with them. I am just a happy supporter of their platform. I don’t work for Kinsta.

        Peace! ✌️

        1. Ryan Sullivan Avatar

          Really appreciate the insight Ahmad! We keep hearing lots of good things 🙂

    You can’t be serious! It is correct that there are many hosting choices out there, but Kinsta has been there a long time enough to prove that they are at least as good as FlyWheel (if not better) and way better than WPengine. But maybe you just want to give the other children in the class a head start before Kinsta raises the bar 😉

    1. Ryan Sullivan Avatar

      All in due time, Torben 🙂 Kinsta is definitely on our radar and we’ll likely be adding them in a future update!

  3. Dan Avatar

    I really can’t take this seriously until you add Kinsta. It’s such an obvious inclusion that my first thought was that other affiliate programs must pay more, or someone at your company has personal beef with Kinsta, or one of the other companies that go head to head with Kinsta (Flywheel, WP Engine) is paying you to not include them. All of these sound unlikely but not including Kinsta is like reviewing fast food chains and missing out McDonalds and then saying “well there’s lots of fast food chains”. Sure but come on…

    1. Ryan Sullivan Avatar

      Hey Dan, appreciate the feedback! I don’t know that I agree with the Kinsta/McDonalds analogy. Kinsta is still relatively new in the space compared to a lot of these providers. But we will include them in a future update! None of your other suspicions are accurate.

    I really appreciate that you didn’t just review the dirt-cheapest shared options. Thank you! On the other hand it’s a little chaotic trying to make sense of the apples-to-oranges approach. Plus, I guess, you didn’t choose Kinsta. Which I’m sure is also a fine product even though I’ve never heard three people independently and exclusively endorse it before.

    On the other hand at one point you said “We didn’t really evaluate specific features of each host this time around, but in that regard, WP Engine really stands apart from its competitors.” I can’t say I’m very excited by WPEngine’s interface and I’ve been noticing a decline in performance from them over the last year or so vs. clients on other hosting platforms.

    1. Ryan Sullivan Avatar

      Great thoughts and thanks for sharing your experience with WP Engine too, David. The nice thing about this article is that it’s going to be a living/breathing thing which we’ll update often. We’ve got lots of great plans for it in the future! When hosts improve or fall behind, we’ll make sure that’s clear here 🙂

    Inmotion is one of worst hosting when it comes to support. I used their service twice and left twice in tears. “Often” their hosting goes down for hours and they don’t even bother to respond and its their culture.

    1. Ryan Sullivan Avatar

      Interesting. Really appreciate the feedback Muhammad!

  8. Luke Cavanagh Avatar

    No mention of Liquid Web.

    1. Ryan Sullivan Avatar

      They’re on our radar, Luke 😉

  9. Richa Agrwal Avatar

    Great article. As someone have just starting out in the world of blogging, I need all the tips I can get. I am so grateful for some simple, easy to implement advice.

  10. Tolga Bağcı Avatar

    Thanks for the detailed article.

    I’ll probably choose to work with inmotion hosting.

  11. Bellan Avatar

    Thank you for the thorough article, Ryan! It’s true that every customer has specific requirements and needs. That’s why one host may be perfect for one client, while another host may be good for another person. There are people, who look for quality services at an affordable price, while others prefer to give more money but to get fully managed hosting solutions. As an owner of a relatively average-sized business, I am currently using a WordPress shared hosting plan by BGOcloud. This solution turned out to be perfect for me, as it not only includes plenty of great features, but the price of the plan is very attractive as well.

    Siteground has been my number one go to hosting for the last 2 years. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed a website go down, great tools for optimizing page speed, a Free SSL and support that helps me fix my issues typically under 15 minutes.

    I couldn’t recommend them more but… I’m going to have to check out a few new ones mentioned here because of your reviews. Customer Service is usually the deciding factor for me since I’m usually working on server type tasks in off-peak hours to not disturb client sites. We’ll see how things go with Flywheel and iThemes.

    Hi Ryan,

    Good to see inmotion in this list, I am using Inmotion hosting from a long time and In terms of customer support it’s really good for bloggers or a business owner.

    But their renewal price is a little bit high in comparison with other’s, They also offer free advertising credit for Yahoo and Bing. I would recommend it to 9/10.

  14. Ayesha Ranginwala Avatar

    A great article that provides an insight on the best hosting provider companies with good customer support.

  15. Web Development Company Avatar

    This article is a great resource for comparing hosting companies and hosting plans. Thanks for putting all of this information together into one place. I personally use A2 web hosting and WP-Engine and am extremely satisfied with both services. They have great features and the costs are more than reasonable for such reliable web hosting services.

    I really appreciate that you didn’t just review the dirt-cheapest shared options. Thank you

  17. SK dalai Avatar

    Nice article sir… By this article I like the go daddy hosting plan which is in 10$ so I want to buy this.. Thank you so much for sharing this informative article….

  18. Vanessa Fuhrmann Avatar

    Crazy how there’s no mention of Hostinger in the list. They have many great options for hosting WP and the uptime does not disappoint. I can’t say I like their design, as it’s a bit clustered and tacky, but that’s a small price to pay to get an overall amazing service when compared to the many other options. Check it out.

    Wonderful, Thanks for sharing such a great article.

  22. Amos Struck Avatar

    Hi Ryan.. Loved your post. SiteGround and GreenGeeks are excellent choices. Haven’t heard great things about BlueHost recently

  23. Nirali Jain Avatar

    I think Siteground is the best hosting I have ever used. Thank you for mention Siteground.

  24. Lorenzo Gutierrez Avatar

    Nice list. I just recently switched to siteground it is soo much faster than my previous host.

  25. Dorve UX Avatar

    Hi Ryan, this is a very useful post, but I agree with the other comments about Kinsta. Anyway, thanks for sharing! 🙂

    Hey Ryan,

    Nice review. We are in the process of moving our WordPress website to a new host. This post helped to make our decision quickly.

    Thanks for this post. I am using greengeeks hosting & i am happy with their speed.

  30. Heeren Tanna Avatar

    i thought Flywheel was only good for local environment . didint knew they offer hosting as well.

    was actually looking for how to use AWS for wordpress hosting but found it to be expensive + they have lot of different pricing which is not easy to understand unless you are a developer.
