Notre verdict

DigitalOcean
Choose DigitalOcean if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($4.00/mo). 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
Nexcess
Choose Nexcess if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.2 vs 9.0) and faster median TTFB in our probes (248 ms vs 275 ms). Staging and backups, faster recovery than generic shared hosting. On the trade-off side, high monthly cost, not for simple low-traffic blogs.
