Nuestro veredicto

HostGator
Choose HostGator if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($3.75/mo) and stronger rated support in our rubric. Familiar brand for buyers who know it from ads. On the trade-off side, slower loading than LiteSpeed rivals with default caching.

Nuestra elección
Vultr
Choose Vultr if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (8.9 vs 8.4) and faster median TTFB in our probes (278 ms vs 445 ms). Many locations, host services close to users for low-latency apps. On the trade-off side, lock down server images yourself. Stock images not enough for strict rules.
