How does the Find My Host quiz choose a host?+
Each host gets a fit score for your type of site, expected traffic and budget. We add a small bonus for faster average TTFB and a penalty when a host's starting price is above your budget, then show the highest scores. Affiliate commissions are not part of the score.
Which hosting is best for a brand-new website?+
For most new blogs and business sites, an affordable LiteSpeed host is the best value: it is fast out of the box and costs a few dollars a month. Move to managed cloud hosting once traffic or a store makes the extra speed worth paying for.
Do I need cloud hosting from the start?+
Usually not. Shared LiteSpeed hosting comfortably handles tens of thousands of monthly visits. Cloud hosting makes sense for busy WooCommerce stores, web apps, agencies hosting many sites, or sites above roughly 50,000 visits a month.
Can I change hosts later?+
Yes. Most hosts migrate your site for free, so you can start small and move up as you grow. Run our speed test after launch to check whether your host is keeping up.
