- Baruch YochaiProduct Manager · WrittenYou can use this hosting they have a great documentationThien NguyenFull-Stack Developer · WrittenI'm using Digital Ocean and must say that it's really good hosting I've ever triedDigital Ocean is a great pick for WordPress sites and more due to their insanely fast droplet creator. Simply pick that you're creating a WP site and bam - it's done. Besides from that, you can also setup droplets in any way, so you have full control over the file base and such.

I have been using DigitalOcean since they first launched, I love it so much I made a product https://snapshooter.io to help you back up your Droplets and Volumes.
Its a super simple and cheap way to get a server and can scale to what ever you need. There are great tools out there that integrate straight in, due to there great API.
Highly recommended product!

They couldn't make it any easier for how difficult I thought it would be to launch my first site www.skillsyncer.com.
- jerod mooreCo-Founder goKittr & Coffee hunter · WrittenWPEngine is about the gold standard here, and they have a very good migration plugin in the wordpress store. "Tight budget" doesnt really define a dollar amount. If you can afford them, use them. If you are talking under 20/mo, I used hawkhost before when I didnt have the time to move accounts around. They are about the only one I can think of in the "cheap, but good customer service" category. Im not sure if they still migrate accounts, if you are on cpanel, then prolly.
- Fletcher RichmanCoFounder, BubbleIQ (Zendesk<-->Slack) · WrittenFlywheel is a great no hassle WP host. Nice middle ground between the super cheap and WP Engine.
- I'm using siteground now and their customer service is incredible. It's chat based with no wait time. I'm a beginner and have chatted with them for hours and they don't mind. They will also proactively take steps to optimize your site, walk you through exactly what changes they made, recommend products and explain why....I could go on and on. Definitely recommend

- Ross RojekCTO, GoLocalApps.com, Apptoolkit.io · WrittenUse this for a number of sites. You can pick your actual host (I use digital ocean), and spin up (or down) a new server any time. Cloudways makes it easy to manage digital ocean without needing to know command line. Online support is great launching a new site is dead simple.

Well, cloudways provides managed cloud hosting. And cloudhosting is mostly used for scaling websites. So, those who have bigger sites e.g. getting 10,000+ visitors per day, they should go for it.
- Marcus VlahovicCo-founder & CEO, Sustainabody · WrittenHosting w/ cpanel & softaculous (unlimited bandwidth, emails, etc), easy to install Wordpress on it and get up and running. $5 / mo, +$1 / mo for a dedicated IP. Use code "1cent" to pay $0.01 for your first month! Also, they have VPN's and dedicated servers at remarkably low prices.
- Abidemi SanusiAbidemi Sanusi, writer, founder · WrittenI've been using them for a few years now. Great customer service and documentation.
- Anthony FreemanWordPress Developer · EditedSimple, cheap and lots of features. It's around $5 per site for the base plan which is very affordable to me. They also don't have any restriction on the plans besides visitors and bill at the end of the month.Michael PetersonAvid WordPress supporter · EditedOur development agency have saved so much money and time moving a portion of our thousands of client WP sites to these guys for testing over the last month. Main feature we cared about was that they provide unlimited storage + bandwidth + ram + cpu! Only charge is for unique visitors, so if we host a clients site and it's popular it gets charged more, if its barely visited we don't get charged much. This removes the need we had to constantly scale up and down the sites for our clients so they have been an absolute huge money and time saver! Can't recommend enough.
