# Which web hosting do I need?

Six short questions, no email required. We'll recommend a top pick, a runner-up, and a budget alternative — with the reasoning and current verified pricing visible.

## What the answers look like

Three worked examples, run through the same scoring the quiz uses. Each shows the top pick and the runner-up with the reasoning; the quiz itself also names a cheaper alternative and shows verified pricing for all three.

Example

A WordPress site for a small business, around 1,000 to 10,000 visits a month, $5 to $20, email needed, managed

Top pick

Hostinger: https://digitalhosting.com/providers/hostinger

Runner-up

Cloudways: https://digitalhosting.com/providers/cloudways

- WordPress runs best on a stack tuned for it — caching, PHP versions, and backups out of the box.
- Because you're newer to hosting, we removed self-managed VPS options that expect command-line work.
- You asked for the technical work handled for you, so we removed self-managed VPS options.

Example

An app or SaaS, developer comfortable on the command line, $5 to $20, no email, self-managed

Top pick

DigitalOcean: https://digitalhosting.com/providers/digitalocean

Runner-up

Vultr: https://digitalhosting.com/providers/vultr

- Running an app or SaaS means you'll want a real VPS or managed cloud, not shared hosting.
- You're comfortable on the command line, so raw VPS options scored higher than shared hosts.
- You want full control, so we pushed unmanaged VPS to the top.

Example

Business email on a domain and nothing else, under $5 a month

Top pick

MXroute: https://digitalhosting.com/providers/mxroute

Runner-up

Faivelo: https://digitalhosting.com/providers/faivelo

- You only need email, so we ignored web hosting entirely and looked at independent mail providers.
- On a sub-$5/month budget, premium managed hosts are out — we focused on the lowest-cost reliable picks.
