What hosting do you guys recommend for speed and support? i don't mind paying a little bit extra but it needs to be fast and have good support..

These are the ones i've used :

wp engine - best support ever, but also the most expensive host i have ever used. Used them for 2 years no problems other then the insane prices.

rocket.net - was pretty fast but they kicked me out of their hosting for unknown reasons so no go..i can't recommend them to blackhat users.

a2 hosting - didnt' really use them that long but they seem solid in terms of performance. Support kind of sucks though.

green geeks - i saw it got recommend here and this is what i am currently using. Support is average but i feel the speed really isnt' up to par..
 
from my research, mechanicweb is the fastest - https://www.webwhim.co.uk/how-to-select-the-best-wordpress-hosting-providers-for-uk-business/ (they have done several tests with them and all found out that mechanicweb is fastest)
EDIT: also makes sense since they use ryzen 9 5950x/5900x (5+ghz) for most of their servers, NVMe ssd and high speed ram. From my experience their customer support is HELLA fast and actually answers your questions really well
 
A2 hosting is worst among the four you mentioned. It was good earlier but now the service has completely deteriorated.
 
Attractive deals are available from hostingsource.com and rockhoster.com. Worth trying.
 
Are you going to be doing shady shit?

If not, just go with hostinger vps or any other big name hosting company (avoid godaddy)
 
Yeah i am doing shady stuff. I went with a offshore host lol
 
If you’re looking for really good service & support, signup with Rockhoster.com hosting service.
 
Fastcow (not the Fatcow) looks good, managed wordpress, for easy peace of mind for the user. But I not have any experience with them or can say how many visitors their plans can handle; 50k/month, 100k/month, less ?

Managed wordpress by Bluehost looks like they have improved their services , and here too I not have any experience with them, their offer looks good they promise to handle a lot of monthly visitors, but namecheap makes such offers too and it not works on their hosting and EasyWP plans. Bluehost has a customize panel like ionos, much better than cpanel, because cpanel eats up 40-50% of your shared server ressources. (cpu and ram) it should be much faster with an customize panel.

But I see that Bluehost has really strict content policy clos eto godaddy not rude as godaddyfokkers but close, whereas Fastcow content policy sounds fair and liberal.

Ionos europe is not so bad, but on managed wordpress, you can't enable cloudflare or any other cdn, I don't know if taht is usual on managed wordpress webhosting providers? What makes me confuse with IONOS hositng plans is their server ressources, their highest plan has 20GB RAM and 1GB CPU- ??? Looks weird. A normal good server setup is something like:
2GB RAM+ 2 CPU, or 4GB Ram +4GB CPU, or 4GB RAM + 2GB CPU.

IONOS europe have specific cdn Hoswitng plans, they cost more and need an extra fee for setup of $10. I don't know if they have better server ressources.

Last, Hostgnome last year I tested one of their plans are really fast, but you can't scale up, what will happen if oyu have 50k or 100k monthly visitors? Then you must upgrade to their unmanaged vps. It's better when a webhositng provider can offer bigger hosting plans with good server ressources , like cloud Hosting to handle that type of traffic.

Happy Monday !

A good hosting provider can make a huge difference, especially if you need stability. I’ve had a positive experience with hostpro.com—their automatic daily backups are a lifesaver, and their support is knowledgeable and available around the clock. Might be a solid option if you’re still comparing services.
 
if speed and support are your non-negotiables and you’re not running sketchy scripts, Cloudways or Kinsta might hit that sweet spot without the sticker shock of WP Engine
 
Fastcow their offer sounds good, rocket.net, speedypage, hostgnome (but could have better plans for scaling up) , ionos (UK) vps (have an easy to use KVM virtualize panel)

The GOFOKKERDADDYS! Yeah ! (no, that was a joke people) :eek: o_O ;) not use them!
 
Accounts from tietokettu.net can be quite right for meeting all your needs.
Just check out their plans.
 
if you’re cool with a bit of a budget, try Cloudways or Scala, they’re fast and support's solid.

If speed and support are your priorities, and you're okay with paying a bit more, here are a few solid options based on real-world use:
  • Cloudways – great performance (especially with their Vultr HF or DigitalOcean Premium plans), and decent support. You get full control without the price tag of WP Engine.
  • A2 Hosting – decent speed with Turbo plans, but yeah, support can be hit or miss.
  • RareCloud – if you’re open to a VPS, they offer fast NVMe servers with a focus on performance and solid support. You can customize your setup and run WooCommerce easily if you know a bit of sysadmin or use a control panel like CyberPanel or Hestia.
Also make sure you:
  • Use LiteSpeed + LSCache if possible (massive boost for WordPress/WooCommerce)
  • Set up Redis or Memcached for object caching
  • Optimize your DB (plugins like "Index WP MySQL For Speed" help a lot)
If WP Engine was your gold standard but too pricey, Cloudways or RareCloud are probably the closest in speed, without breaking the bank.

With Litespeed you can't use a CDN or Clkoudflare, you must use the CDN of Litespeed which has a complicated setup and it's not free.
