Best WordPress Hosting (2024)

f Bluehost

Best All-Around | Starts at $2.95/mo

Bluehost is officially recommended by WordPress.org, and they do a great job of balancing ease-of-use with value for money.

Their plans are priced competitively, their dashboard is beginner-friendly and intuitive,  they have 24/7 chat support available if you ever need any help, and if you’re more technical-inclined they also provide cPanel access. They also provide fast loading times and very consistent uptime. (While they don’t provide an “uptime-guarantee” like most other options, they still deliver similar-to-better uptime results than the competitors.) They’re a great WordPress hosting option, especially if you’re just getting started.

f Siteground

Best for Bargain Site Upkeep | Starts at $3.99/mo

Siteground is another WordPress-recommend hosting company. They are very good about offering free optimizations for your WordPress site which will help make it fast and reliable.

Siteground has managed WordPress hosting at all plan levels, which makes them another good option if you’re a beginner. They provide automatic updates to your site along with automatic, daily backups (which can be a life-saver if your site ever crashes or gets hacked). They will also take care of your site migration for free if you’re in the process of moving a site from a different host over to them. Siteground is a good option if some of those additional services are important to you while still looking for a relatively less-expensive option.

f Kinsta

Best for Managed WordPress | Starts at $30/mo

Kinsta specifically provides managed WordPress hosting, which means that they specialize in optimizing their hosting for WordPress site performance. They’re the most expensive host on our list, but they provide feature-rich services.

f HostGator

Best for Uptime | Starts at $2.75/mo

HostGator promises 99.9% uptime each month, and if they ever fall short of that then they will credit your account for the cost of the month. So with HostGator, you can be very confident that your site will stay up. (“Uptime” is the time that a website is available to users in a given period.)

HostGator is also good because they give you unlimited storage and bandwidth, so you won’t run out of space. If reliability is your top concern then HostGator is a great option for you.

f WP Engine

Best for Businesses | Starts at $25/mo

WP Engine only do WordPress hosting, which means they have spent a lot of time working on ways to make WordPress upkeep as simple for you as possible. While they are one of the more expensive options on our list, if you’re looking for a low-hassle option for a larger organization then WP Engine is a great option for you.

Some of the services they provide to all levels of hosting plans include a CDN (which is a “content-delivery network,” it speeds up your site’s loading times), automatic daily backups, automatic site updates, a staging environment so you can test changes to your site before making them public, customized user roles, threat blocking and security, and a solid customer support staff

(Head’s up! Right now you can get 3 months free on annual plans at WP-Engine if you use this button.)

f Hostinger

Best for a Budget | Starts at $1.39/mo

If you’re on a budget, Hostinger is a great option for you. The services they provide are really solid, with very good loading times, helpful 24/7 chat support, and an easy 1-click WordPress install. Although they don’t have quite as good uptime as some of the other options their prices are pretty much as low as you can find. They also will give you a domain free for a year with their $1.99/mo plan, along with SSL and one free site migration for all plan levels.

f Flywheel

Best for Collaboration | Starts at $13/mo

Flywheel is specifically a managed WordPress host, so they focus entirely on optimizing WordPress sites. They have a very visually pleasing and easy-to-use interface and they provide demo sites and one-click staging sites so you can test out new content before going live with it. They also make collaborating with others on your website very easy, so if you have several people that will all be working on your site then Flywheel is a good choice for you.

Flywheel’s plans don’t start with very much storage or bandwidth, so you’ll probably outgrow the starter plan pretty quickly and want to upgrade to one of their higher-tiered plans. However, for every plan tier, they provide an impressive list of services, including automatic daily backups and site updates, free malware cleanup if you ever get hacked, a CDN and SSL, and free site migration.

f InMotion Hosting

Best for Plan Options | Starts at $2.49/mo

InMotion Hosting is a standout when it comes to its support staff. They undergo extensive training, which means that when you need help they are more than prepared to assist. InMotion also has a higher variety of plan types, so if you want a VPS or dedicated server instead of a Managed WordPress or shared plan, then InMotion is a good choice for you.

You can have 2 websites with the basic starter plan (most hosts only let you build 1 with starter plans), and they also provide a free SSL. Their WordPress plans all come with advanced caching (which will speed your website up).

f DreamHost

Best for Storage | Starts at $2.59/mo

Dreamhost is another recommendation that comes straight from WordPress.org. They’ve been around for a long time and have proven themselves to be a reliable and affordable hosting option. The great thing about DreamHost is that they provide unlimited storage and bandwidth, so if you have a lot of content like high-resolution images or video or a huge inventory of products for your online store then DreamHost will be a good choice for you. They do have live chat support but only during their business hours. They will provide all plans with a free SSL, and they also have a 97-day money-back guarantee.
