I'm launching a new WordPress website with a custom theme, and I'm trying to find a hosting provider that offers a good mix of reliability, speed, and great support without costing too much. Any recommendations?

For those looking for something more on the complex side, Hetzner's VPS is great for running multiple containers and has lots of customization options. If you want something simpler, check out Render for static sites or APIs.
I really encourage learning about VPS hosting. With Digital Ocean or Hetzner, you can set up things like a self-hosted application that can save you money in the long run. It’s worth the initial learning curve!
I’ve had good experiences with Hostinger for some of my sites. Even their shared business plan handles the Divi builder like a champ. SiteGround is also a solid choice if you need something reliable!
If you’re familiar with setting up a VPS, I’d recommend Digital Ocean. Their infrastructure is solid and works great for WordPress with a LiteSpeed server image. I’ve successfully managed multiple WordPress sites on it without any downtime!
I’ve had my ups and downs with hosting but would suggest avoiding anything from the Endurance International Group. Hostinger is a great budget-friendly option with excellent documentation and an easy-to-use UI. Remember, the best host really depends on your specific needs!
Totally agree about staying clear from those brands. It's all about finding one that fits your current and future needs.
I've used Digital Ocean for a couple of projects myself, and it's really smooth for WordPress. Definitely worth checking out!
