How to read this table
- From is the cheapest advertised monthly rate. For Hostinger, IONOS, Bluehost and GoDaddy this depends on paying for two to four years in advance, and renewal is typically two to three times higher.
- UK data centre means you can have your site served from the UK — sometimes only if you select it at signup, as with Namecheap, Hostinger and SiteGround.
- Email matters more than people expect: most premium managed WordPress hosts (Kinsta, WP Engine, Flywheel, Rocket.net) include no mailboxes at all, so budget separately for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
- Uptime figures are the provider's own commitment. A "99.9% guarantee" permits nearly nine hours of downtime a year and usually refunds only that month's fee.
- Rating is our editorial judgement based on infrastructure, pricing honesty, support reputation and exit options. It is not a paid placement — see how we rate.
