Nuestro veredicto

Nuestra elección
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 9.0). 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.

DigitalOcean
Choose DigitalOcean if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (275 ms vs 412 ms). Test servers in minutes with Ubuntu and Docker. On the trade-off side, self-managed security and updates unless you pay for more.
