Best web hosting services in 2024

Billing itself as the world’s leading eco-friendly web hosting provider, GreenGeeks focuses on offering fast and secure hosting while positively impacting the environment. Since 2008, it claims to have returned three times the amount of power it’s consumed to the power grid as renewable energy.
Lorem ipsum
GreenGeeks boasts robust hosting plans that include a lot of functionality even at the lowest tier, including unlimited bandwidth, a free SSL certificate, a free domain for the first year and a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you have dedicated staff to help manage your website, you also get multiuser access on all plans.
Lorem ipsum
While the $11.95 per month Lite plan only supports one website with GreenGeeks’ “standard” level of performance, the Pro ($16.95 per month) and Premium ($26.95 per month) plans support unlimited websites with “better” and “best” performance, respectively. GreenGeeks also includes some nice-to-have extras to protect your site — like free nightly backups and AI-powered DDoS protection — as well as access to over 150 one-click install apps to customize your site’s functionality. (A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack goes after websites and servers by disrupting network services.)
Lorem ipsum
While GreenGeeks isn’t one of the cheapest providers on our list, it’s one of the best web hosting options out there. The good news is that you get what you pay for, with even GreenGeeks’ Lite plan offering substantial features and little to no gaps when it comes to your core hosting needs.

Namecheap lives up to its name; it’s the cheapest provider on our list and our pick for the best web hosting provider for budget-conscious businesses. Its base Stellar plan starts at $4.48 per month with the option to reduce the cost even further by selecting a one- or two-year subscription, making Namecheap simply unbeatable when it comes to cost.
Lorem ipsum
That value does come at a cost of its own, however, with some less-than-stellar features on the base tier, including limited storage (20GB) and site backups only twice a week. You’ll still enjoy unmetered bandwidth and 24/7 support, which can be incredibly helpful for business owners who work odd hours or appreciate access to live guidance.
Lorem ipsum
Stepping up to the Stellar Plus or Stellar Business plans alleviates some of those concerns (and still represents a good value compared to competitors). At $6.48 per month, Stellar Plus nets you unlimited websites (versus three on the base plan), unmetered SSD storage and auto-backup capabilities (especially important for frequent site updates).

As one of the highest-rated web hosting providers on our list, it’s surprising that DreamHost is also one of the cheapest. At $7.99 per month for its Shared Starter plan, DreamHost limits you to a single WordPress website while still providing unmetered site traffic as well as a 97-day money-back guarantee.
Lorem ipsum
Where DreamHost really makes an effort to market its services is WordPress. With automatic WordPress installation, automated WordPress migration and a drag-and-drop site creation wizard, it offers everything you need to hit the ground running (or keep up the pace) with your business’s WordPress site.
Lorem ipsum
The Shared Unlimited plan ($13.99 per month) comes with some notable upgrades: support for multiple websites, unlimited storage (up from 50GB) and no extra cost for email accounts from your domain, just to name a few.
Lorem ipsum
As far as drawbacks are concerned, DreamHost doesn’t offer much in the way of niche or advanced features. This is likely by design due to its simplified, two-tiered plan structure, but it’s something to be aware of if you crave back-end customization or more advanced security options.

Wix is the third most expensive option on our list. While it generally offers extensive features to match, those features don’t come with the lowest-tier Light plan, where you’re limited to a scant 2GB site storage, a maximum of two collaborators and no extras like e-commerce support, service selling or industry-specific support.
Lorem ipsum
It’s clear that the Light plan is a basic taste of what Wix has to offer. The next step up in Wix’s pricing structure is the Core plan at $29 per month, which boosts storage to 50GB while adding much-needed e-commerce support and a basic marketing suite that includes the ability to chat with customers on your site — a huge boon to business owners looking to connect with customers and keep them happy.
Lorem ipsum
A drawback to Wix’s extensive offerings is that they can become confusing if you’re not sure what you’re looking for. With four plans ranging from $17 per month to $159 per month and a whole host of extras that not all businesses need, it’s important to determine what you want out of a web hosting provider before selecting one. Ultimately, you can get away with a cheaper alternative if you don’t need, say, support for managing a fitness business or selling tickets to events.

Hostinger comes in at the middle of the pricing road compared to other providers on our list, and that assessment also matches its feature set. With its base Premium plan, you’ll get the basics and a few additional features in the security and support department but not things like AI-assisted marketing tools or e-commerce support. For those, you’ll have to step up to Hostinger’s “most popular” Business plan, which also adds increased performance, a free CDN (content delivery network, which caches content on distributed servers so websites can pull from the closest server to a user, increasing website speed), increased storage and daily backups (especially important for businesses who update their site frequently).
Lorem ipsum
The base plan supports a whopping 100 websites and includes 100GB of site storage — both of which are on the high end for base paid tiers. You’ll also enjoy the fairly typical service and support you can expect from a premium web host in the form of a 30-day money-back guarantee, 99.9% uptime guarantee and 24/7 live chat support.
Lorem ipsum
Ultimately, the high point of Hostinger’s offering is its AI website creation tools. If you opt for the Business plan, you’ll enjoy a host of AI-assisted features like copywriting help, heatmaps to track customer engagement and SEO tools to grow your search engine footprint. Hostinger is particularly well-primed to serve business owners who need to build websites — and more than one, at that — easily and fast.

GoDaddy is one of the biggest names in the game and offers one of the largest feature sets (and number of available plans). Starting at $9.99 per month for the Web Hosting Economy plan, GoDaddy isn’t the cheapest on our list — but it isn’t trying to be.
Lorem ipsum
You’ll get everything you’d expect from a web host — and we mean everything. With a free domain for one year, 30-day money-back guarantee, a free trial of its business email add-on, free WordPress migration, automatic daily backups, unmetered bandwidth and the benefit of global data centers, you’d be hard-pressed to find something GoDaddy doesn’t offer. It’s worth noting, however, that its base plan only supports one website with 25GB of storage.
Lorem ipsum
For businesses that don’t quite know what they want out of a host and have a little more budget to play with, GoDaddy almost surely offers a plan that fits your needs. At the end of the day, GoDaddy is a trusted name that’s been in the web hosting game for decades. Because of this pedigree, you’ll get the options, support and features that you’d expect from a premium web host at a fairly average cost.

Kinsta is one of the more unique providers on our list. It doesn’t offer traditional hosting options, instead choosing to make a name for itself by specializing in application, database and managed WordPress hosting. In 2016, it changed course by consolidating its entire infrastructure from multiple providers to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) on Google’s Premium Tier network.
Lorem ipsum
Essentially, this allows Kinsta to offer performance that’s a cut above its shared hosting competitors. Having everything housed within GCP on the Premium Tier gives Kinsta customers access to the fastest data services, server-level caching for increased efficiency and dedicated resources when they’d normally be shared.
Lorem ipsum
Kinsta offers seven total managed WordPress plans which — since the plans are all various versions of the WordPress experience — proves to be a flexible and granular way to lay out its offerings. The Starter plan supports one website for $35 per month, which is a higher price point than others on our list, but keep in mind that these are dedicated resources and a managed hosting experience with enterprise-level resources. Plan features and the number of websites increase incrementally from there.
Lorem ipsum
The main drawback to Kinsta is that it’s very specific. If you’re not using WordPress or you don’t have a special project like a web-based app or database to manage, it simply won’t work for you.

InMotion is a well-established hosting provider. While it doesn’t offer anything mind-blowing in the way of specialization, InMotion does offer what you’d expect from a well-rounded, all-in-one hosting platform, including basics like unlimited bandwidth, support for multiple sites and up to 10 email addresses even on the base plan.
Lorem ipsum
This also includes extra security features you won’t get from competitors’ low-tier offerings, including hack, malware and DDoS protection, as well as automatic backups. The catch is that you will have to pay for it. InMotion’s starting price is the second-highest on our list if you want to pay month to month (which is only allowed for the highest-tier plan); prices decrease significantly if you’re willing to commit to a one- to three-year subscription.
Lorem ipsum
Ultimately, the specificity around terms and restricting a monthly price to the highest tier are InMotion’s main drawbacks; otherwise, you have a solid hosting provider with great features and around-the-clock customer support from humans.

Interserver is an incredibly affordable one-size-fits-all option. It has a surprising number of features for only offering one plan at such a cheap price, including unlimited, well, most everything: storage, data transfer, file transfer protocol (FTP) accounts and email accounts.
Lorem ipsum
It also supports mobile operating systems across the board for email (calling out even Blackberry and Windows Mobile). On top of that, you’ll get weekly backups, access to over 450 cloud apps to finetune your site’s performance and services like Interserver’s InterShield Security, Inter-Proxy Caching and Inter-Insurance. These proprietary features help block web attacks, improve site speed and clean up hacked or exploited customer accounts, respectively.
Lorem ipsum
One downside to Interserver is that it doesn’t come with a free domain name, which does slightly tarnish the value of its low base pricing.

With a starting price on the lower end of the list, many valuable freebies and a relatively simple plan layout, AccuWeb is a great alternative choice for budget-conscious businesses or those who value simplicity (and haven’t already chosen Namecheap or Interserver for those reasons). Its real claim to fame, as far as our list is concerned, is free stuff — with the biggest one being free daily site backups. This isn’t common among other providers, especially at lower tiers, and it can be a real selling point if you frequently tinker with your site.
Lorem ipsum
Aside from that, AccuWeb places a premium on freebies in general, and we think a lot of business owners do as well: free templates, free managed support, free SSL certificate, email, daily backups and site migration — you name it.
Lorem ipsum
The downside to this is that some of the more premium aspects fall by the wayside. There’s no unlimited storage or bandwidth, which is a definite cause for concern for media-rich or highly trafficked sites, and it doesn’t provide a free domain unless you opt for the highest tier.
