What’s the Best Hosting for My New WordPress Site?

For something more complex, I often use Hetzner's VPS. It allows you to run multiple containers and customize various features like nginx. For simpler setups, Render is great for static sites or APIs. Both offer good performance depending on your needs.

I highly recommend taking the time to learn about VPS hosting, like Digital Ocean or Hetzner. You can save a lot in the long run by managing it yourself. Trust me, once you do, you'll appreciate both the control and cost savings.

If you're okay with handling a VPS, Digital Ocean is a solid choice. They offer a WordPress LiteSpeed server image which has worked great for my sites without any downtime. It's worth considering if you're comfortable setting it up.

I've had great experiences with Hostinger. Their shared business plan runs Divi builder smoothly, and their support is pretty reliable. SiteGround is another good option if you're looking for solid performance.

It's important to consider your email requirements too. If you want a host that also provides email, cPanel hosts are generally convenient and budget-friendly. But if email isn’t crucial, options like Digital Ocean or Cloudways become more appealing, especially for WordPress projects.
