Recommended Website Hosting Providers

I recommend avoiding hosting providers with slow server speed, poor performance, poor reliability, poor security, and poor customer support. The shortlist includes Bluehost, HostGator, and GoDaddy. Read the long list.

I use SiteGround for many reasons. Their servers are fast, secure, and reliable. I've been with them for more than 3 years, so I'm very familiar with their system and tools. Because of that, my website maintenance skills are honed and I work quickly.

SiteGround's logo
  • Best customer support, server uptime, security, and webpage load speed
  • Generous 30-day (no questions asked) money-back guarantee
  • Free daily backups and restorations on all plans
  • Free WordPress security plugin that works on all WordPress websites, not only SiteGround-hosted

If you want to host your site with them, you can save money on their hosting plans by using this special discount.


SG Site Scanner (one of their many great tools)

The SG Site Scanner is a malware detection and early warning system that enables you to perform on-demand scans of your website and performs comprehensive daily scans to detect domain blacklisting and malware. The malware database is constantly updated, enabling the SG Site Scanner to detect even the latest threats.

Price: Starting at $18 yearly

Other great (and free) SG WordPress tools: SG Optimizer plugin, SG Security plugin


Other Good WordPress Website Hosting Providers:

Note: SiteGround and these hosts below are great for WordPress websites. I do not know much about their ability to handle other types of websites. You will have to search online or consult with me to help you search.
