Notre verdict

Hover
Choose Hover if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($5.99/mo). Domain and email forwarding without a large hosting bundle. On the trade-off side, not for heavy WooCommerce hosting.

Notre choix
Nexcess
Choose Nexcess if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.2 vs 8.6) and faster median TTFB in our probes (248 ms vs 355 ms). Staging and backups, faster recovery than generic shared hosting. On the trade-off side, high monthly cost, not for simple low-traffic blogs.
