Our verdict

Our pick
InMotion Hosting
Choose InMotion Hosting if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.1 vs 8.8) and faster median TTFB in our probes (324 ms vs 362 ms). 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.
