Notre verdict

HostGator
Choose HostGator if you prioritise HostGator's plan limits and "Most Popular" positioning for your stack. Familiar brand for buyers who know it from ads. On the trade-off side, slower loading than LiteSpeed rivals with default caching.

Notre choix
Namecheap
Choose Namecheap if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($1.98/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.3 vs 8.4). Clear renewal pricing, easy to track across a large domain portfolio. On the trade-off side, not the fastest host. Plan caching and a CDN for speed-critical sites.
