Our verdict

A2 Hosting
Choose A2 Hosting if: you want the fastest possible shared stack via Turbo plans and strong developer workflows (SSH, Git, staging on higher tiers). Turbo plans near the top of our shared-hosting speed tests. On the trade-off side, no free domain. Buy or transfer separately.

InMotion Hosting
Choose InMotion if: US phone support, NVMe storage on entry plans, and a 90-day money-back guarantee matter more than squeezing the last 100ms from TTFB. NVMe plans, noticeably faster for WordPress with heavy databases. On the trade-off side, not the first pick for global audiences. EU and Asia can be slower.
