Наш выбор
A2 Hosting
Choose A2 Hosting if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($2.99/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.5 vs 9.2). Turbo plans near the top of our shared-hosting speed tests. On the trade-off side, no free domain. Buy or transfer separately.

Cloudways
Choose Cloudways if you prioritise Cloudways's plan limits and "Cloud Flex" positioning for your stack. Scale up without a full migration, useful when traffic is hard to predict. On the trade-off side, more expensive than a raw VPS. Know the trade before committing.
