Every Review, Comparison & Guide We've Published

WooCommerce vs Shopify: free software plus $25 to $350 hosting vs plans from $29/mo. Payment fees, variants and who each suits.

WordPress.com vs WordPress.org: hosted plans from $9/mo or free software on your own host. Plan prices, control and who each fits.

Server location adds travel time to every uncached request, roughly 1 millisecond per 100 km per round trip, and a new secure connection needs about three round trips. Google treats server location as a weak signal for which country a site targets, so the decision is mostly about speed. This guide shows the latency math by distance, what a CDN fixes and what it leaves to the origin, how hosts handle data center choice, and how to pick the right region from your own analytics.

PHP workers cap how many uncached WordPress requests run at once. See Kinsta's thread counts per plan and how many workers a blog or store needs.

Cheap VPS hosting under $10/month in 2026 buys 1 vCPU, 1-4GB RAM, NVMe storage, and 1-4TB bandwidth, all unmanaged. We compare entry VPS plans from Hostinger, DigitalOcean, Vultr, and IONOS with intro vs renewal pricing as of June 2026, spell out the managed-vs-unmanaged line that defines the price, and show exactly who should buy a budget VPS and who should skip it. Includes a provider-by-provider spec table with an editorial verdict per plan, the RAM floor for running WordPress, the NVMe and bandwidth units that actually matter, and how to read the renewal trap before you lock into a long upfront term. The short version: the price tag is not the cost, and the right answer depends entirely on whether you want to be your own system administrator. Faceless, data-forward, buyer-first, no advertorial.

Hosting with a free domain is free for one year only. See hosting renewals, .com renewal prices and the 60-day transfer lock compared.

Sponsored feature. Hostinger funded this testing and supplied product access. HostingDive retained full control over testing methodology, findings, and conclusions.

Buyers ask how much RAM the ... Read more

Every host advertises 24/7 support, but the phrase describes when a chat window is staffed rather than what anyone will fix. This article maps the responsibility boundary across shared, managed WordPress, and unmanaged VPS tiers, showing which problems move between tiers and which never move at any price. It explains the tier structure behind the chat window and why first-line availability is near-universal while overnight engineering escalation is not. It covers support channels and where contractual response times actually live, then breaks down what an uptime SLA credit is worth in practice, why it is calculated against your hosting fee rather than lost revenue, and the claim window most buyers miss.

Most migration downtime traces to two DNS sequencing mistakes: pointing nameservers before the site is ready, and leaving a 24-hour TTL in place through the cutover. This guide separates nameservers from records, explains why TTL decides your rollback window rather than your propagation speed, lists the records that break email when they are forgotten, and gives an eight-step cutover sequence.

A 30-day money-back guarantee is not a free trial. It typically covers the hosting fee only, excludes the free domain and add-ons, runs from the order date rather than go-live, and does not apply to renewals. This guide covers the four recurring exclusions, why the usable evaluation window is shorter than it looks, how to test support deliberately before you need it, and the five things to do before the deadline passes.

Most hosting plans now list a free CDN, and Cloudflare's own Free plan includes one at $0 per month, so the feature line alone says little. This guide explains what a CDN caches by default, why the HTML page usually is not, where full-page edge caching breaks on WooCommerce and membership sites, and which buyers should weight CDN setup heavily in a hosting decision.

Staging is the hosting feature most often assumed present and most often absent: standard on managed WordPress, common on higher shared tiers, routinely missing from the entry-level plan being advertised. What it does, where the push-to-live step destroys data, and the four questions that decide whether an included staging feature is usable.

Leaving a host is four migrations treated as one: files and database, email, DNS, and the domain registration. Email is the one that loses mail, and the domain carries a 60-day ICANN transfer lock that can add two months to an otherwise-ready switch. The sequence that works, and the cancellation traps at the end of it.

Shared hosting accounts are rarely suspended for bandwidth. They are suspended for exceeding the inode cap, exhausting concurrent entry processes, or violating the acceptable use policy, and the first two are published in the terms of service rather than on the plan page. That gap matters, because a site can hit both while using a fraction of its advertised storage and transfer. This guide explains what an inode actually counts, why entry-process exhaustion produces 508 errors that uptime monitors do not see, which site types hit which ceiling first, how to check both numbers in cPanel before a warning email arrives, and why the fix is usually VPS rather than a larger shared plan.

Professional malware cleanup runs $150-$500 one-time or $200-$500/year bundled, and the free malware removal advertised on budget shared hosting covers a narrower set of cases than buyers assume. This guide breaks down what each hosting tier actually does after a detection, why suspension is the likeliest outcome on shared plans, the four contract details that decide what an incident costs, and which tier is worth buying by site type. Pricing as of August 2026.

WordPress.org recommends PHP 7.4 or greater, MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.5, and HTTPS. Those are the floor for the software to run, not the specification for a site that stays up. This guide separates the published requirements from what a plugin-loaded site actually needs, covering PHP version as a security decision on the php.net support schedule, the memory cap that overrides anything you write in wp-config, the max_input_vars default that fails silently on WooCommerce, and why a persistent object cache is the one setting that speeds up logged-in traffic. Includes an eight-row spec table and what to ask a host before buying.

Storage and bandwidth are the specifications hosting plans are marketed on and neither is what makes a small business site fall over. PHP worker allocation is, and it is almost never advertised. This article gives four numbers to measure before opening any comparison page, maps the four hosting tiers to the constraint that actually binds each one, and explains why a store can test fast and still fail during a promotion. Includes what to verify in writing before buying and why renewal pricing rather than intro pricing is the real comparison. It also covers the four hosting tiers mapped to the constraint that actually binds each one, why intro pricing rather than renewal pricing is the wrong comparison basis, and six items worth getting in writing before purchase, including migration limits, backup location, and the actual remedy behind an uptime guarantee.

No shared hosting plan gives you truly unlimited bandwidth. Unlimited and unmetered mean the host does not bill you per gigabyte of transfer, not that capacity is infinite. The real ceilings are CPU quotas, entry-process limits, and inode (file-count) caps enforced under a fair-use clause, and those are what decide whether your unlimited bandwidth hosting plan stays responsive at traffic. This guide maps each marketed-as-unlimited resource to the mechanism that actually caps it, with typical shared-plan ranges as of July 2026, buy-versus-skip profiles by site type and traffic, and the fine-print clauses – fair use, inodes, and intro-versus-renewal pricing – that sit below the marketing. Compare the caps, not the label.

Cloudways vs Kinsta comes down to billing model, not speed. Cloudways DigitalOcean starts at $11/month month-to-month with no visit cap; Kinsta Starter is $35/month and caps at 25,000 visits. Here is which managed WordPress host fits your budget and site count, with June 2026 pricing.

Do you need to pay for an SSL certificate? For most sites, no. A data-forward look at free SSL via Let's Encrypt, which hosts include it, and when a paid certificate is actually worth it as of July 2026.

A 99.9% uptime guarantee allows nearly nine hours of downtime a year and pays only a token service credit if the host misses it. Here is what the percentages actually mean, what the guarantee really covers, and how to verify real uptime before you buy.

Reviewed 2026-07-12; pricing verified at source. At a glance, InMotion's migration support and large entry allocation justify its renewal cost for a small portfolio.
