A high quality web hosting provider needs to have three things:
Fast, secure technology that has what your website needs to run well
Hosting options that give your business room to grow
Fast access to customer support that knows what they’re talking about, and a huge catalog of nuanced self-help content
InMotion and SiteGround, our two top picks, are both excellent options. We think most small businesses will be really happy with what they have to offer.
DreamHost, Bluehost, and HostGator are also very popular and generally well regarded — there are just enough little issues that keep them from being our overwhelming favorites.
We also looked at GoDaddy. We recommend avoiding hosting your small business’s websites on GoDaddy. You can absolutely do better.
