Where I like to show you how to build websites, how to get online, and how to build a brand.

Today, I am so excited for this post.
I have put in weeks of preparation to show you the best place to buy any kind of web hosting, Top 7 Best WordPress Web Hosting Companies Of 2019, With Honest Review, How To Buy Cheap Web Hosting In 2019  whether it's for a WordPress site, or a completely custom site, or something else, here are seven very popular web hosts, I'm gonna break them down and let you know where you should spend your money and where you should host your website. Stay tuned if you wanna know all

about online marketing, social media, and building and online presence, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and click the bell. Without further do, let's get right into the topic.

BLUEHOST

I'm gonna start with Bluehost because they are such a popular web host. Chances are if you Google where to buy web hosting or best web host, Bluehost was likely at the top of a lot of lists. One thing right off the bat that bothers me about Bluehost is that you have to buy yearly for the first sign-up. It's really weird. When you sign up, you have to buy a block of one year of hosting, but then after that, you can renew monthly. That's like going up to a girl and asking her to marry you at first sight. Maybe I just wanna try monthly before I commit to paying for a year of hosting. Bluehost has it all backwards.They're like, we need that one year commitment and then you can switch to monthly. What?

Okay. I went ahead and signed up

for a year of hosting for $60.

One thing to keep in mind when you sign up for Bluehost is some of the upsells are pre-checked. They are really working overtime to sell you stuff you don't necessarily need or stuff that may be helpful, but you don't have to pay for it. 

Pay attention on that sign-up screen to what you're paying for and if you don't want the CodeGuard for backups or site lock or whatever it is they try to sell you, go ahead and uncheck that box. The setup process for WordPress was super elegant. They let you pick from tons of free WordPress themes right there when the site is being set up and they pre-install plugins you should have like a caching plugin to speed up your site and an anti-spam plugin.

These are plugins that Bluehost just puts on there by default, which I actually think is kind of cool. Maybe you're not really
into tinkering with plugins, you just wanna install WordPress and you want it to work well, Bluehost is gonna make sure that you have a smooth and solid experience. The website in the hosting felt really fast thanks to that caching plugin I just mentioned and I really love that Bluehost makes it super easy to get support.

 There's no hiding things behind dark patterns or any of that. You just click help, you do a live chat, and they are right there to help you. I did have a pretty positive experience with Bluehost. They do try a little too hard to upsell. They're kind of constantly throwing stuff in your face so if that bothers you, maybe pick somewhere else, but if you're looking for the most flexible web host with lots of different add-ons and options available for purchase that you can add to your website and your hosting experience like G Suite for email hosting, backups, all that kind of stuff, I think you're going to love Bluehost and I can definitely recommend them for the most flexible hosting and the most options.

SITEGROUND

Next, let's talk about SiteGround and boy, do I have things to say about SiteGround. Unlike Bluehost, they offer you a monthly option right from the start, which is awesome, thank you SiteGround,

except they charge you a $14.95 ding fee as a setup fee if you choose monthly. Why?Why are these guys trying to make it so hard to just try a month of hosting?Everything was just downhill from here.
I went ahead and signed up for the hosting and it was not easy to setup WordPress. I had to dig around in some scary convolutedretro looking menus and the entire SiteGround panel is just dated, very cluttered, and extremely hard to find what you're looking for.
It took a solid , maybe 40 minutes for my site to be set up, but there was no indicator of that.
Wow, thanks for the communication guys. It would be nice to know that there's about a 30 to 40 minute window for the automated setup, so do keep that in mind if you choose SiteGround. 

However, I would strongly advise
against choosing SiteGround for two reasons. Number one, I really dislike their panel, which I already talked about,it's cluttered and it's hard to use, but number two,they make getting support so ridiculously hard,and I cannot get behind that. Look, if you're trusting a company to host your website and to hold the files so when someone types your domain name, your website comes up, you need a company you can rely on and you need a company you can reach out to if you're having any trouble or if your site is down or anything like that. In the amount of time it takes to get SiteGround's attention is unacceptable. They use what's called a dart pattern. A dart pattern is where you manipulate an interfacein such a way that it makes no sense to get to where they don't want you to get, so they don't want you to contact them. They try and deflect you by looking at their knowledge-based articles and all this stuff and as you can see in this screen recording, to contact them, you literally have to press this tiny, absurd, little link that you probably would miss if you're not really paying attention to contact them. That's not something I can support so I would recommend staying away from SiteGround and choosing someone else.

NameCheap

Let's talk about Namecheap. Namecheap has always been a company I've loved for both web hosting and domains. I have all of my personal domains with Namecheap and I have recommended them in the past to my web clients. It is really easy to set up and their new easy WP hosting is so extremely intuitive and it is the fastest I have ever seena WordPress site get set
up and up and running and on the internet. As you can see here,Namecheap's easy WP hosting is completely targeted at being fast, easy, and simple with nothing else,no gimmicks, and it's very reasonable, costing only $3.88 a
month or $30.88 a year.

It was really hard to find downsides to Namecheap's hosting. It's incredibly fast and smooth and the experience is just so simple, I think this is gonna be appealing for those of you who don't wanna tinker with a bunch of panels or settings. However, the issue I had with Namecheap's easy WP hosting is that they don't offer daily backups even as an upsell. Every other host on this list offers daily backups either included in the cost or for an upsell, a paid upsell, which I think is reasonable.

It's not uncommon for a host to ask you for extra money to back up your site daily automatically, but Namecheap just has
nothing, nothing at all. They don't include automated daily backupsand they don't let you pay for automated daily backups. The best you can do with easy WP is create a manual backup, which is free, but you
have to remember to do that and the whole point of automated backups is to make sure that if your site crashes or gets hacked or anything happens, your backup is there and you didn't even have to think about it. You just restore the backup and you're good to go. You can use an external backup service like Code Guard to backup your Namecheap easy WP hosting, but that costs around $5
a month or $60 a year, so when you figure that in, you're paying about $9.88 per
month for Namecheap's hosting, which is a little bit expensive. It's not completely unreasonable and it is not the most expensive option on this list, but you are gonna have to keep that in mindwhen you're buying hosting if you want those daily backups.

HostGator

Let's talk about HostGator. This is another one of those very large hosting companies that you might recognize right away. They've been out there for years and they have a huge presence online. My experience with HostGator was very interesting. They do the little things
that drive me nuts, like the prices they put on their website are for 36 months of hosting. They'll be like, only $5 a month, but it's actually like $15 a month if you pay month-to-month and it's $5 a month if you pay for three years at once. However, that's kind of a pretty common practice and I will say that they thankfully let you pay month-to-month with no issues, no setup fees, no forcing a year of hosting on you. If you wanna buy a month of hosting from HostGator, you can buy a month of

hosting from HostGator. 

Overall, the panel was a simple andrelatively nice experience. My trouble with HostGator is that they actually don't offer enough upsells for my preference, or the types of upsells I'm looking for. I know you're like, Christian, what are you talking about? No one likes to be upsold. I know, but hear me out. HostGator's WordPress hosting plan includes a one gigabyte CodeGuard account. CodeGuard is an external backup service and HostGator has worked with them to offer daily backups up
to one gigabyte of files. I'm like, what happens if my WordPress site exceeds a gigabyte of files 'cause if you upload a lot of images and stuff to your blog, that's not uncommon for it to be bigger than a gig of files and the HostGator account
itself is bigger than a gig so you could exceed that perfectly fine. I chatted in their live chat. I'm like, how can I upgrade my CodeGuard if I require more than
a gig of backup per day? They're like, you actually can't. 

I'm sorry, HostGator, did
you just miss an opportunity to upsell me and have me pay you more money? I'm pretty sure that's exactly what just happened.

HostGator's support is also extremely slow. They do make it easy to get to, so I'll give them credit for that. There's no dark patterns like with SiteGround, but you're gonna be waiting a while. It is painfully slow. For the support, price, and no ability to increase the backup storage, I would

not recommend HostGator. I personally would stay away from them. 

iPage

Next, we're gonna talk about iPage. Once again, this is
another popular web host that you may have heard about and I'm not exactly sure why they're so popular. My experience was kind of similar to SiteGround with iPage, but maybe not as bad. They have a lot of upsells, they have a cluttered and confusing panel,and then they make it hard to buy things you wanna buyafter the fact.For example, when you go to sign-up with iPage,they're like, buy backups, buy this, buy that. Maybe you're not ready for that yet so you may uncheck the things, buy just the hosting, and if you decide you wanna add daily backups to your site later, I could not find it anywhere in the panel. I dug through every single menu and it ends up, you have to go to the main iPage website, not through your hosting panel, and buy backups through there. Overall, the panel was just extremely confusing, it was kind of hard to set up WordPress, it took a couple extra steps to get things up and running, and I think there are plenty and better options out there. 

I guess I don't have a huge problem with iPage, I don't have an issue with their support or this or that, but I didn't have a great experience there and I personally would stay away from iPage.

Hostinger

Let's talk about Hostinger. This is a web host that I expected to hatebased on their website, but I actually ended up loving them. Here's what I dislike about Hostinger. They're one of those websites that when you go to their site, they try to pressure
you to buy immediately. As soon as you go to their site, they have this countdown,
starting from 21 hours, and they act like they're having this super mega sale 

and if you don't buy within 21 hours, you're gonna miss out on the deals, but here's the thing, that's just their price. That's always their price. Any time you go to their site, that 21 hour countdown starts and it just resets every time you visit the site. Based on that alone, I had a bad taste in my mouth going into it and trying Hostinger. I was very cautious. I'm like, if they're doing this, what other sorts of annoying tactics are they doing to try and pressure me, but what I found was completely different from what I expected. Hostinger had the most

impressive setup screen I've seen on any web host. They made it super easy
to install WordPress and get going right away, they weren't too pushy about upselling meon the initial signup screen, and they even give you a temporary URL to start editing your site right away without having to point your domain there yet. If you don't know what I'm saying, when you buy a domain name, you have to point it to the web host and this can take up to  hours before your domain points there. Hostinger solved this issue by giving you a temporary URL that you can use to modify your site and start building it until your domain name is pointing to them, and I
think that's really efficient, it's very considerate of your time,and I'm a huge fan of what Hostinger is doing. In addition, they offer lots of quality add-ons like daily backups for 95 cents a month, or G Suite for email hosting, or Nord VPN, and all of these are easy to add at any time, it's right there in the panel. You just go and you add it to your account and it's very simple. The hosting with Hostinger was also speedy fast and I was just overall blown awaywith the service I received from Hostinger. Their 24/7 support is no joke. It's right there in the
bottom-right corner.You just click it and you chat away and someone replies
usually within a minute. I was very impressed. I was so impressed with Hostinger, that I'm recommending them
as the best overall option,the balance between value, support, and features.If you're looking for the most well-rounded experience, Hostinger is gonna be for you.

DreamHost

To wrap things up, let's look at our last company, and that is DreamHost. DreamHost offers the best month-to-month options,in my opinion, if you're kind of looking for thatwell-rounded experience and you don't wanna break the bank and you're not able to pay yearly. DreamHost has plans from $4.95 per month,no catches, no setup fees, no big gotchas, just $4.95 a month, you can get started right away, and they make it simple to sign-up for that. Like many of the other hosts on this list,there are some upsells that are pre-checked during the checkout, which I don't love, but it is so common that I'm not gonna get onto DreamHost too much for that. The panel was a little bit confusing, but the graphics are inviting and DreamHost does offer
lots of upsells for you. One thing I love about DreamHost is they do daily backups automatically and they do it for free. You don't have to pay anything else,it doesn't matter how big your website is, none of that. If you're catching what I'm saying,this is a great value for $4.95 a month. 

There are some hoops to jump through to get to their support. It's not ridiculously complex like SiteGround and I wouldn't necessarily call it extreme dart patterns, but they do try to deflect you just a little bit.

Personal Opinion 

However, when you're able to get to their support, they are relatively helpful, they're friendly, and I don't think you're gonna have any issues there. I would recommend DreamHost if you're looking for a month-to-month option and the best value and

not breaking the bank. In conclusion, if you're looking for the hosting with the most options and tinkering available, Bluehost is gonna be for you.They have a very robust panel with plenty of upsells and add-ons thatyou can purchase and set up and it's gonna be kind of a lot of fun if you like to tinker around with different features and services with web hosting. If you're just looking for a simple and easy set it and forget it web host for your WordPress website, Namecheap is gonna be for you. There's hardly any options to mess with, but that's the beauty of it if you don't wanna worry about things. Just keep in mind that extra added cost for Code Guard if you want your website backed up daily. If you're looking for the best most well-rounded web hos tand the best overall balance of value,features, and add-ons,then you definitely should go with Hostinger. Finally, if you're like I really don't have a lot of money, I just wanna pay the minimum
amount possible monthlyand that's it, I can't afford to pay yearly,I don't wanna have to pay for upsellsor extra things for daily backups or any of that, then DreamHost is gonna be the way to go for you.
