Notre verdict

DigitalOcean
Choose DigitalOcean if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (275 ms vs 356 ms). Test servers in minutes with Ubuntu and Docker. On the trade-off side, self-managed security and updates unless you pay for more.

Notre choix
Namecheap
Choose Namecheap if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($1.98/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.3 vs 9.0). Clear renewal pricing, easy to track across a large domain portfolio. On the trade-off side, not the fastest host. Plan caching and a CDN for speed-critical sites.
