Nossa escolha
Bluehost
Choose Bluehost if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($2.95/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.6 vs 8.6). WordPress.org recommended, a familiar name for first-time buyers. On the trade-off side, slower loading than LiteSpeed hosts at a similar price with default settings.

Hover
Choose Hover if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (355 ms vs 412 ms). Domain and email forwarding without a large hosting bundle. On the trade-off side, not for heavy WooCommerce hosting.
