Nosso veredito

Hover
Choose Hover if you prioritise Hover's plan limits and "Top Pick" positioning for your stack. Domain and email forwarding without a large hosting bundle. On the trade-off side, not for heavy WooCommerce hosting.

Nossa escolha
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 8.6). 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.
