Web Hosting is the most essential part of any website.
Whatever technologies you are using to develop your website,
Ex. WordPress, Magento, Joomla, Angular, React, etc.
you will need a Consistent, Top Notch, Web Hosting Service which will serve your website worldwide.
Without a Good Web Host, a lot of problem will crop up, both from the Technical and Support point of view
which will make your life as a website owner or manager very frustrating.
In this Article, we will be going over 6 Reliable Web Hosting Providers
that I’ve personally used or have a great reputation because of their excellent services.
Before moving forward,
know that every service will have some customers that have had a bad experience with them for one reason or another
that does not mean that the service itself is bad.
Sometimes bad reviews are given in spite or in bad faith just to destroy a company’s reputation.
While sometimes customers are asking for solutions,
that are not the job of the web hosting providers or are just technically not possible.
I’ve tried to take all these into account before making this article.
So everything in this article is my subjective opinion,
your experience may vary based on your technical skills and understanding of your purchases.
Also, If you don’t know the difference between Web Hosting, Shared WordPress Hosting and Managed WordPress Hosting
take a look at this article on Reliable Managed WordPress Hosting Providers (Not Uploaded) where i’ve explained it clearly.
So, without further ado, let’s get started!
Liquid Web
Liquid Web is one of the companies, who you know means business, not only because
They have an excellent team that makes you feel extremely welcomed when you talk to them
or because this team is highly knowledgeable in what they do
or because they Own their Data Centers located in US and EU with 25,000+ Servers powering 30,000+ Customers
but also because even before you make your hosting purchases,
they make guarantees in their SLA (Service Level Agreement) that will have actual monetary consequences for them, like
- Initial Customer Support Response Time Guarantees
59 Minutes – Help Desk Initial Response Time Guarantee
59 Seconds – Phone Answer Time Guarantee
59 Seconds – Live Chat Initial Response Time Guarantee
or Liquid Web will credit customers 10x the amount of time from the missed mark. - 100% Network Uptime Guarantee
Excluding Hardware & Software Maintenance Time, Legal Actions, Malicious Attacks and cPanel Issues
or Liquid Web will credit customers 10x the downtime. - 100% Power Uptime Guarantee
which assures that power to customer’s rack will be online 100% of the time
or Liquid Web will credit customers 10x the down time amount. - 30 Minute Hardware Guarantee
which assures that Faulty dedicated server hardware will be replaced within 30 minutes of identifying the problem
or Liquid Web will credit you 10x the amount of time from the missed mark.
This clearly shows just how confident they are of their service and how dedicated they are to their customers.
Not only that but as they are a Managed Hosting Provider,
you as the customer don’t need to proactively worry about server administration,
including hardware management, network management, security patches, updates or service monitoring and restoration.
All of these things are taken care of by Liquid Web so you can focus on what is important
Your Blog, Website, or Business that actually generates revenue for you.
Now, when it comes to pricing Liquid Web can be considered somewhat costly
but the service received in return is worth far more
because it gives you confidence in your Website and peace of mind
that everything will be working as expected even if you look away for a second.

Hostinger
Hostinger is a brand that has taken over the market with it’s Highly Cost Effective yet Excellent Web Hosting Services.
I’m currently using Hostinger for bitesizedtech.com
and even when using it’s cheapest plan (Single WordPress), I could not be a happier customer.
Of course when using the cheapest plan, there is going to be some caveats, like it being a Shared Hosting Plan
and having Slower Initial Server Response Times (~ 650 milliseconds) when a user requests a page from the server
but making a light weight and blazing fast website with good overall configuration for Caching and Cloudflare,
allowed me to not take a really huge hit from the Slow Initial Server Response Times issue.
So much so that, the Average Core Web Vital Scores for bitesizedtech.com has been
- Desktop – 100/100
- Mobile – 99/100
This also does not mean that Hostinger always has Slow Initial Server Times,
Hostinger Provides a wide variety of plans in various categories like
- Web Hosting
- Cloud Hosting
- WordPress Hosting
- VPS Hosting
- CyberPanel Hosting
- Minecraft Hosting
with much powerful hardware and specifications which will thoroughly mitigate these issues.
I’ve also had a very productive time with their customer support when i wanted to change the location of my server.
The customer service personnel asked some insightful questions regarding the reason for this move
and immediately understood my reasoning when i said that i did not want be under the purview of the DMCA
which i would if the server location was within US.
He immediately processed the request after that
and asked me to not make any changes to the website until all the files have been moved to a different server,
which took less than a couple of hours.
All in all, Hostinger just like Liquid Web and Nexcess is an excellent Web Hosting Service with a great customer support team.
Recommended For : Low – High Traffic Blogs, ECommerce Stores and Business Websites.
Server Locations :
North America : US
South America : Brazil
Europe : Netherlands, Lithuania, UK
Asia : Singapore, India
Support : Live Chat

Namecheap
Namecheap as it’s name suggest is another Cost Effective Web Host that has over the years made a name for it’s services.
It started out as a Domain Registrar but slowly got into the Web Hosting side as it grew.
Namecheap provides both Shared and Dedicated Web Hosting Services
which makes it a relatively good choice for both low and high traffic websites
They also provide Managed WordPress Hosting but it is done through a different branding – EasyWP
If you don’t know the difference between Web Hosting, Shared WordPress Hosting and Managed WordPress Hosting
take a look at this article on Reliable Managed WordPress Hosting Providers (Not Uploaded) where i’ve explained it clearly.
Just like all the other Web Hosting Providers in the article,
Namecheap has a good reputation which it has built over the years.
