Which Is The Best WordPress Hosting?
Consider the following when choosing the best WordPress hosting:
- Enough storage
- Enough monthly bandwidth
- Great speed and performance
- Low price
- High uptime
- Upgrade anytime
After a few days of research and based on these requirements, the best option on the market at the moment is DigitalOcean. The smallest package ticks all the boxes:
- 25GB storage
- 1000 GB transfer / month
- High performance with SSD Disk
- $5 / month ($10 / month on Cloudways)
- High uptime (99.99%)
- Upgrade and downgrade is possible with a few clicks
Let's see how to set up your perfect WordPress Hosting

The easier (and more expensive) way is Sign Up on Cloudways and select DigitalOcean $10/month plan on the Pricing subpage. They will do the rest.
