Notre verdict

DigitalOcean
Choose DigitalOcean if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($4.00/mo). Test servers in minutes with Ubuntu and Docker. On the trade-off side, self-managed security and updates unless you pay for more.

Notre choix
Liquid Web
Choose Liquid Web if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.5 vs 9.0) and faster median TTFB in our probes (255 ms vs 275 ms). Fast, committed support for live store outages. On the trade-off side, high price, not for tight budgets.
