A2 Hosting

A2 Hosting is last, but not least on our list. A good alternative to InMotion Hosting, they offer very fast, high performance web hosting services suitable for websites of all sizes. We highly recommend A2 Hosting as it is one of our personal favorites and is a great choice for web developers, small & medium size businesses, & eCommerce sites.

A2 Hosting is especially popular among web developers due to their quick support & implementation of the latest versions of popular development software and for having customizable, unmanaged plans.

Bluehost

Bluehost is a hosting company based in Utah which is owned by web giant Endurance International Group (EIG). It offers basic shared hosting from $2.99 monthly (on a three-year contract), with WordPress plans starting at $20 per month (although that’s also a discounted introductory rate).

For the money, you get automated setup for WordPress, not to mention other popular apps via a Mojo Marketplace-powered system. There’s also a cPanel-based area to allow expert users to tweak things.

SiteGround

Siteground offers their website hosting services worldwide since 2014 and they are headquartered in Bulgaria.

In the web development community, SiteGround is known as the cheap/shared hosting provider that comes with unlimited bandwidth and includes SSL (Let’s Encrypt) and CDN (CloudFlare).

You can pay monthly $3.95/mo (this includes an additional $14.95 setup fee) or yearly and they transfer your website for free (just ask their live chat).

iPage

iPage is a very popular web host known for its low cost (introductory pricing only) and feature-rich shared web hosting plan. iPage is often awarded highly on independent review websites as they are well suited for webmasters on a tight budget looking for a quick, cheap, and convenient place to host a website. They have had some bad rep in the past with poor customer support and uptime, but recent data center & hardware improvements have actually boosted performance and customers should now see solid speeds and reliability.
