Best WordPress Hosting

Hostinger offer shared WordPress web hosting from only £2.59 per month. This hosting company offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee; they publicly publish their uptime and downtime records across all of their servers.

This for me was a real step in the right direction, giving their customers the reassurance they might need. Their premium plan is only a couple of quid and offers unlimited website hosting, unlimited bandwidth, and weekly backups along with a free domain name.

Hostinger is becoming very popular. They offer all the features that you’d expect to find with a top-rated web host, like 1-click installations, a free domain, and free SSL certificates on all plans.

When I signed up and created a test website, I was pleasantly surprised by the speed and performance. Their control panel was incredibly easy to use and the large icons, simple dashboard, and user-friendly tools were a refreshing change.

If you’re looking for extremely affordable web hosting that suits small websites, blogs, or even online stores, Hostinger is my number 1 recommended choice. If you encounter any issues, their customer service is out of this world, and there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Pros:

• Excellent server response times
• Great customer support
• Free domain and SSL certificate

Cons:

• Pricing is based on a 48-month term

Key Features:

• 1-click WordPress installation, and that’s it.
• AI tools are here to help you generate website content and even the whole website.
• Automatic Website Migration tool is ready to move as many WordPress websites as you want to Hostinger.
• WordPress Automatic updates enhance your website’s security and performance by making sure it has the latest core software, themes, and plugins.
• WordPress Vulnerabilities Scanner keeps potential attacks or breaches away.
• LiteSpeed WordPress Acceleration caches your website’s content, boosting the speed and performance by 2-5 times.
• Object Cache for WordPress makes sure that not only your website’s content, but also databases are cached – and that’s even more speed.
• In-house Content Delivery Network (CDN) is another booster: it makes copies of your website’s content across many different servers, so the traffic is distributed throughout the whole network, and your website loads faster for end-users.
• WordPress Staging Tool is your playground for testing and making changes to your website without affecting it.
• Use an On-Demand Backup tool when enabling changes to your website, and rest assured that a stable and working copy is lurking behind, just in case.
• WordPress Multisite is essential for creating and managing multiple websites from a single WordPress installation.
• Have a WordPress-based online store of your dreams with WooCommerce: sell products and services, manage inventory, process payments, facilitate online transactions, and more.
• WordPress Command Line (WP-CLI) tool helps you manage WordPress manually.

Starting from £2.99 per month, customers can host 1 website with 10GB of storage space. This is recommended for a maximum of around 10,000 site visitors per month.

If you can look past the price, you’ll see why SiteGround is a firm choice for WordPress hosting. Every plan comes with a free and easy WordPress installation. Once you’ve installed WordPress, you can use the WP starter site wizard to get your site up and running straight away.

What sets SiteGround apart in my eyes is the fact that all of their updates are automatically managed. There’s nothing I’d enjoy less than working on my site and making sure my web host’s back end was updated and running the same version as my WordPress site.

To top it all off, SiteGround’s customer service is astounding. Phone calls are answered within seconds meaning no waiting around. Their support is available 24/7 and their live chat service is incredible. Their staff is knowledgeable and helpful, ticking all the boxes for me.

Pros:

• Packed full of free features
• Incredible customer service
• Best response times from a UK server

Cons:

• Slightly expensive

Another favourite cheap hosting of mine is BlueHost. Their official WordPress hosting tag has built them a solid reputation over the years. If you’re after a WordPress specialist web host that costs less than a cup of coffee, BlueHost is a wise choice to consider.

When you sign up with BlueHost, you’ll get a free domain, free SSL certificate, 1-click installs, and 24/7 support. If for some reason you don’t like them (although I’m not sure why you wouldn’t), they offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

One of my favourite things about BlueHost is the amount of choice you get. They really are tailored to almost anyone, whether you’re after a blog or eCommerce site, their WordPress hosting can help you to achieve your goals.

All of their plans include website backups, resource protection, and scalability. They’re the kind of web host that you could stick with for years to come, upgrading your plan as and when you feel it’s necessary.

Features like anti-spam protection and Cloudflare CDN will enhance your website even more. There’s a whole bunch of features that can be taken advantage of in order to successfully market your website and take your SEO to another level.

Pros:

• Plenty of choices
• 24/7 support
• Lots of advanced features
• Suited to a wide range of users

Cons:

• Not the cheapest

GoDaddy is somewhat of an all-round web solution. They offer web hosting, cheap WordPress hosting, domains, easy and simple website builder, and more. They claim to be the world’s number 1 host with a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Their web hosting plans start from £3.99 per month, allowing you to host 1 website, 100GB storage, unmetered bandwidth, and a free domain if you register for a 1-year contract.

GoDaddy’s web hosting plans aren’t anything to turn your nose up at. They offer a wide range of options at a reasonable price. eCommerce customers are looking at paying a mere £5.99 to get a hosting plan that would be very suitable. It’s hard to complain at that price when you look at what’s included.

All of GoDaddy’s web hosting plans include 1-click installs that cover WordPress installations. You can also upgrade your plan at any time with the click of a button, adding more RAM, CPU, and more. GoDaddy’s web hosting is certainly very easy to use and seems to be catered to a large market.

I’d recommend GoDaddy if you’re looking to keep all your website needs in one place. Whilst their hosting isn’t the cheapest, it will certainly do the job (and more). You’ll get a free domain, SSL certificate, and access to their control panel and 24/7 customer support.

Pros:

• Ideal for eCommerce
• 24/7 support
• Easy to use control panel

Cons:

• The basic plan is expensive
