Best WordPress Hosting Compared - Real Results Revealed (Shocking!)

[@izakniemann5734]

We are at A2 Hosting and we were not even aware of all this fabulous data. Great video - thanks!

[@drjimbarnes]

As usual, Jack, thorough, objective, clear. You’re the most scientific and honest website analyst out there. Great work! I’ll use your affiliate link to sign up to A2. As for introductory bargains, 3 years is fine. Then I’ll find the next best deal. More power to you, Jack😊

[@JackCao]

Thanks Dr. James! You have the same mindset as me, three years then to the next best thing. Pretty sure there will be renewal packages 😊

[@izz9433]

This quality channel should go up! A channel worth millions of views!

[@JackCao]

Thank you! Appreciate the support! 😊

[@Nima-Norouzi]

Hi and thanks for sharing this information, I just have a question. What if our traffic is outside of the USA? I'm using CloudFlare CDN, do you think still it's important where is the physical server? My audience are mostly in Asia and Europe. Thanks

[@MarkWariner]

Good review. I have been with A2 for about 9 years now. Love em!

[@bromakingmoney9505]

The wordpress king on testing and providing value :)

[@JackCao]

Thank you! 😊

[@TheNettforce]

Another great review Jack. I just took the plunge on A2 with your link. This has been a great set of videos comparing options.

[@ericj810]

Well because of this video it looks like I will go with A2 hosting. I been on the fence but mind is made up now. Thanks Jack!

[@skillzset1066]

Phenomenal video Jack! You have established yourself as the leader in this industry and your videos are always empirical, unbiased and transparent! Just one thing that you might want to consider. I think you should remove these 3-4 sec transitions in between each section of your videos where a short melody plays and you showcase the title of the next video section. In my humble opinion, they are extremely annoying and repetitive and make it difficult to watch your videos. They are absolutely unnecessary and make your videos less personable and more like a TV commercial. And on top of all that melody becomes extremely annoying after we hear it once or twice. But you have it 7-10 times per video... Please, consider removing those transitions. Thank you! Just some humble feedback!

[@JackCao]

Thank you so much for sharing that! I take these things seriously, so consider that section divider gone. I'll probably replace it with a one second title animation instead without any background sound. 😊

[@skillzset1066]

@@JackCao Thanks for being receptive to feedback Jack! You're the best! I mainly add 5-6 of your videos to my watch later list and then listen to them like a podcast one after another, while I'm running errands. I think a lot of other people are doing that as well. So yeah, just a simple 1-sec transition without any sound will actually make your videos less like a TV commercial and more like a personable, over-the-shoulder type of video that everybody loves and appreciates the most! In my opinion, you are the best content creator in this niche and I will always watch all of your videos! Keep up the excellent work!

A normal vidéo for Jack, 400% superior to what we usually get on KZbin. We are so use get reviewer pushing their sponsors that im always amazed on time spent to reach this quality of information. Jack, seriously i learn so much from you... Again thank you!

[@JackCao]

Thank you so much for your kind words Eric! 😊

[@riezan]

This is such a comprehensive comparison. Can I ask your opinion on hosting a simple business web on the Google cloud platform? and will you consider hosting your business web on GCP and why? Thanks, man!.

[@securityranger773]

Thanks for all the hard work Jack!

[@sisheng1998]

Great video! I would like to ask about A2 Hosting, from their website there the triennial plan is $6.99/month or $251.64 / 3 years. But the renewal cost becomes $719.64 / 3 years, which is almost 3 times than the original 3 years pricing. Will this consider cheap for the renewal cost?

[@JackCao]

My view is we can always use the service for 3 years and when renewal comes, there will always be renewal deals. If they don't, we can always find another. Who knows 3 years down the road there may be another better host that comes along? So, I wouldn't worry about the renewal.

[@heyheyhey7757]

Where are you!?! the content is superb!

[@donteo3105]

Great sharing Jack! Hope you will be doing video on Lifetime Hosting Services too👍

[@ABC-Auto-Shipping-Nationwide]

Thank you very much for this great video. I am wondering about the shared hosting, Do you recommend two separate hosting plans for a WordPress site and a CRM/software site built on PHP, Or can both be under one hosting plan?

[@acmonjl]

How can I show the custom fields that I add when editing an order/subscription? I want them to appear on the "my subscription" page.

[@GigaBuzzStore]

Thumbs up..! Great summary mamy thanks Jack!

[@JackCao]

Thanks Marek! Time to switch host and we can talk about speed on your site 😊 Chat more on Zoom.

[@GigaBuzzStore]

@@JackCao Will do Jack no later then tomorrow.

[@stevechong65]

Hey Jack! Thank you so much for the review! Exactly what I need! Very comprehensive and informative! Deeply appreciate it!

[@saibot9555]

Adding timestamps will be extremely helpful, I want to know about hostinger service quality in Asia

[@JackCao]

The server tested are situated in the US. In future I may test servers from other locations. Hostinger is not mentioned in this video because I've only picked out the top 5 fastest to determine the best.

[@paulhildmann8392]

Another great video. Thanks! 👍

[@lumberpilot]

I have had Dreamhost for a few years but they increased my monthly bill for some reason. Now they are taking over $28/month! They made no prior warning it was going to more than double. Also, the back end doesn't look like any other hosting c-panel I have seen. Finally, it says free SSL but I have yet to see it applied to my site. I got Let's Encrypt and still my site says Not Secure. Support takes a day or two to respond. I came here because I am ready for another host.

[@Web-developer22]

Which host do you use now?

[@viveksehgal6382]

Hey Jack thanks for including Mechanic Web in the comparison. Can you pls share which shared hosting plan and which caching plugin you used for testing Mechanic Web.

[@JackCao]

I've used the "Value" plan, and the caching plugin used was LiteSpeed Cache. Same settings with the rest.

[@victoitor]

On your previous videos, I thought you tested on different plans. On this last video, did you choose the same plans you tested for speed before? Does this also mean you won't be making the CyberPanel setup video?

[@JackCao]

If you guys want I can make a video on Ultahost and Cyberpanel. The results are based on the same plans. 😊

[@JoeGator23]

@@JackCao Include In-Motion Hosting while you're at it, please.

[@victoitor]

@@JackCao I would indeed like that video. It's nice if someone has seen your videos and would like to choose the best vps solution instead of shared hosting. It would be nice to see how to set it up and what CyberPanel has to offer and how to set up both WordPress and security features which you mention can be done on vps.

[@victoitor]

@@JackCao Btw, I asked about the same plans because in the VPS video, I thought you displayed UltaHost with 2GB and for $4.50. I even tried to ask, but my comment wouldn't show.

[@JackCao]

@@victoitor Oh! Just for that UltaHost I chose a different plan in this video. The reason was because the Business plan provides 50GB NVME while the lowest plan provides only 30GB. It's weird that KZbin won't show your comment. I definitely do see it on my notification, and wanted to reply. But, as I clicked through, the comment is gone.

[@oceanwired]

BUT if you have an e-commerce website with 30K pages the speeds are different as you will need a VPS or better server.

[@bloggerpilot]

About the speed of the shared hosting. Maybe you had luck and the server wasn't crowded already? The biggest problem with shared hosting is overselling, right?

[@JackCao]

It happen that a2 hosting has a lot of websites hosted, but they still perform well. I don't think luck is involved in this as all are tested on equal grounds, same settings, same elements everything. Plus, it is not based on one data but an average of hundreds of data points.

[@bloggerpilot]

@@JackCao Great testing and video series btw. Thank you.

[@JackCao]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jtmcfarland3512]

I gotta agree with the OP. Seems the lowest performing ones used to be faster, then their marketing departments outperformed their server size. Quite often the less known companies have faster speed because they haven’t been saturated yet. That said, I may be willing to sacrifice a slight amount of [local] speed for devUI, support, and # of nodes.

[@StangDigital]

Hey Jack what is the difference between A2's Wordpress & Shared Web Hosting plans?.

[@mereramkrishna]

nothing

[@BallupKori]

Can you compare hostinger shared plans with their cloud plans and see if it it's worth it?

[@nitinnarvekar8936]

Can you pls make video on how to migrate step by step

[@jtmcfarland3512]

I would have liked to see some other metrics weighed into the decision. Particularly global nodes. These tests were based on your results from the manual and virtual locations. If someone wants to reach a global audience, the results aren’t necessarily valid/complete. The other major metric is backend UI (kind of subjective if scored, but important to consider). Thanks!

[@chucksmith6946]

For A2, site migration is only for ONE site ;)

[@siddhanthsukhdeve9405]

Will there be a video dedicated to A2 hosting personally like talking about all features they provide.

[@Steven-cp7lt]

thanks, godaddy is missing :) rest super clear and nice comparison!

[@aijokker]

Is a2 still best hosting in 2023? Shoud i go for it for 2-3 wordpress websites?

[@Nathan-mx8zx]

Jack i have a question because the more i look at plans of providers the more confused i get. if you run a woocomerce is a2 still good and what is the diffirence between a managed wordpress plan vs shared wordpres plan ?

[@JackCao]

The site I tested on all web hosts are on WooCommerce, so yes, a2 works with WooCommerce. Managed WordPress is more expensive, and it is running on a control panel called Plesk. Honestly, there is no difference 😂 If you select the "Turbo Boost" Plan, you enjoy the benefits of the 20X Faster site. It is just a matter of different Control Panels. So, I recommend just getting the shared hosting with the minimum of the "Turbo Boost" plan. jackcao.com/a2hosting

[@valerie4975]

AWESOME review!!!

[@mecrayavcin]

Hi JAck Could you please share test wordpress site's all in migration backup? I have a lemp nginx server so i want to test it in my cloud. I will share url with you when i finished :) so you can test too

[@Because_Reasons]

How are Kinsta and Cloudways not part of this test?

[@hamedtorkamany5582]

Beacause this is money refer

[@Anup_x]

I think he should include kinsta, but not cloudways. Because it hosting management service not provider.

[@mountainman4135]

[@CoachJayCFitness]

Why upcloud isn’t in the list?

[@jeansienkin]

Hey Jack, your channel has really great content and insights, thank you so much for that! The only areas that I think you could improve are the lighting (your key light is a bit harsh and should be softened, you could also add a rim light), the framing (the camera could be placed a bit lower to prevent vertical distortion) and the background (maybe it is too close from your back, maybe have something else instead of the huge shelf?). Apart from that, everything's fantastic: sound, content, energy...

[@Nathan-mx8zx]

does someone have experience with host armada ?

[@arjunkudva8817]

Super 👍🏻

[@JackCao]

Thank you! 😊

[@vigilantezack]

So your tests put SiteGround at the bottom, but hrank, which you reference, has them at the top. What gives?

[@WikiReever]

Siteground is one of the best

[@marty.l]

It would be good if you did an update of this video for 2024.

Jack, Ultahost has awful support. I had a site that wouldn't let me log in. I asked 3 or 4 times through email. They always sent me an email asking for my login information. I sent it and nothing. After 24 hours I left the account and went to another host. The new host fixed everything. I don't recommend Ultahost at all.

[@mecrayavcin]

KZbin deletes my comments :S Why

[@marioluna6203]

Mine as well? I didn't write anything strange...

[@mistergeko]

Eh, my comment which I think was super valuable and contributed to all this was filtered :(

[@idreesidrees9525]

I think you need to add the technical support to that review they will get worst ranking

[@TheBestMethod]

"I just wanted to say that it was an amazing video by this guy a2 Hosting: jack cao that made me join and he was right,. My site now gets 98 score, before it was 30 on bluehost. Thanks," Just to make sure they pay you. Thanks

[@idreesidrees9525]

Unfortunately you did not talk about thier technical support the worst technical support in humanity you will every try

[@myke8335]

I'm sure the $55 per affiliate sign-up has absolutely nothing to do with this new rating either. haha

[@JackCao]

I could have promoted any other hosting companies 😁 Super easy to sign up. So, I would rather promote the best. Cloudways has approached me for sponsorship, rejected them based on my independent results. So yes, affiliate sales is good, but conscience is king! 😉

[@kimcelinder7085]

Sure, it has nothing to do with the hours of testing he has done. He shows which is best more than he recommends anything.
