Choose hosting for the site you actually want to build.
Our starting order puts a straightforward small-site plan first, managed WordPress second, and scalable cloud hosting third. Compare renewal costs, backup schedules and management responsibilities before committing. This is an editorial shortlist from published specifications, not an uptime or speed benchmark.
A managed entry plan for a small site, with WordPress and a site builder in the same service. The published plan lists three websites, 20 GB SSD storage and weekly backups.
SiteGround positions StartUp for personal projects and small sites. Its published hosting page includes daily backups, website transfer and round-the-clock support.
A managed cloud hosting platform that lets you choose a cloud provider and server specifications. It provides expert support and configurable scaling; the exact resources and bill depend on your selected service.
Annual or multi-year hosting promotions can hide a much higher renewal bill. Compare the total upfront payment and the renewal price over the same term. Check whether email, a domain and backups remain included after the first year.
