Наш вердикт

Наш выбор
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 9.2). 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.

Cloudways
Choose Cloudways if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (292 ms vs 412 ms) and better headline speed scores for your workload. Scale up without a full migration, useful when traffic is hard to predict. On the trade-off side, more expensive than a raw VPS. Know the trade before committing.

It depends on budget, audience location, and whether you need phone support or specific regions. Our overall scores are 9.6 vs 9.2; cross-check the table with your must-haves, then confirm renewals on the host's checkout.
Do you run live tests on both providers?+
Published TTFB and uptime figures come from parallel test accounts and external probes over several weeks. Storage and site limits reflect published grids checked in April 2026.
