The first thing we do when reviewing a hosting provider is to set up a “dummy” test website on their servers and track its performance over time. On this page, we wanted to go over the details of how each test website is set up. Theme All of our test sites use the Twenty Seventeen […]

First-contract prices (per month): While the Pro and Pro Plus plans can be bought for one, 12, 24, and 36 months, the Starter Plan is only available for 12 and 24. In the case of the Pro Plan, the cost of the 36-month term is not discounted relative to the 24-month term, so there’s no […]
Verio shared hosting plans & pricing Verio offers both Linux and Windows hosting. My focus will be on their Linux hosting since it’s by far the more popular choice. First-term prices (per month): There is no 3-year term available for the Verio Basic, and no monthly term for the Verio Enhanced for new customers – […]
Plans and Pricing Powweb offers just one shared hosting plan, which they currently sell at the following prices (per month): If you decide to renew your plan, you can also purchase a monthly plan at $14.95 / mo. I found this odd – I expected the monthly plan to be available on initial purchases instead […]
Review summary: Their first-term is cheap, but you can get much higher quality hosting from other providers at a similar price point. A2, InterServer, and DreamHost come to mind. Bluehost’s renewals are unjustifiably expensive. Their add-ons, such as dedicated IP addresses, premium backup service, and security plans are very expensive compared to competitors’. They offer […]
Review summary: InMotion’s shared hosting is quite expensive – if you’re on a tight budget, check out our cheap web hosting page for alternatives. Their servers are relatively stable, but the test website that we hosted with them couldn’t handle more than 25 concurrent visitors without experiencing performance issues. This is not good; many competing […]
Review summary: AccuWeb has competitive first contract and renewal prices. However, the quality of their service feels lackluster. Our test website’s load speed wasn’t as stable as we expected. Their user interface doesn’t help beginners easily get their footing, and the quality of live chat support is subpar. Overall, AccuWeb failed to wow us with […]
Review summary: If you’re looking to host a single new website, think no more and sign-up for a Hostinger Starter plan straight away. It’s the best value on the market, period. However, remember that even a new website can outgrow the Starter plan’s data transfer limits in a year or two, sometimes faster. When that […]
Review summary: DreamHost‘s Starter plan is a fantastic solution for hosting a single website – as long as you don’t mind the lack of free email. Their Unlimited plan offers great value, too. It provides one of the most budget-friendly ways to host multiple websites. However, keep in mind that DreamHost is not ideal for […]
Review summary: A2 Hosting is one of our top cheap web hosting service providers of all time. The company has a transparent pricing structure and highly competitive first-term and renewal prices. Their robust servers, both in terms of website load speeds and the ability to handle sudden traffic spikes, make A2 suitable for all types […]
