Best cheap hosting providers in 2021 February Update – [Pros & Cons]

Unlike most of the articles that you find online about best hosting providers, I’m going to show you a proper feature comparison and review rather than some general ideas. At the end of this article, you can decide which hosting provider is best for you in 2021. I’m giving my honest review on each of them using my seven years of freelancing experience.

Best Web Hosting Providers 2021 (Overview)

This is a summary of this best hosting provider review. I highly recommend you to go through each hosting provider by clicking more details before making a decision.

Note – Most web hosting providers offer $150-$250 ad credits for your future advertising campaigns on AdWords or Bing Ads (more of a marketing trick. You have to spend $25-$75 to get your coupon code). My advice is, do not make your decision just for these ad credits trick. 90% of users won’t use advertising platforms at the beginning. Also, all of the listed hosting providers provide email hosting through Cpanel.

Let’s jump into the review.

1. Bluehost Review – Best Overall Hosting

Without a doubt, Bluehost is one of the best web hosting providers in the game over 15 years. They have a large data center network in the USA and Europe. Bluehost offers many hosting options to select for their customers.

If you are a beginner, hands down Bluehost is the choice for you. Their custom cPanel is very user friendly. It’s effortless to understand for a beginner due to minimalistic design guides.

2. Namecheap Review – Most Affordable Hosting

Namecheap is the web hosting provider I’ve been using and recommending for over four years. The best thing about Namecheap is its affordable prices and unmatchable customer service. Generally, affordable web hosting providers are awful at customer service, but when it comes to Namecheap, it’s very different. 10 of 10 ratings from me to their support.

You might think, “why other articles put Namecheap at the bottom of the list or even I can’t find Namecheap in the list!”. Well, that’s another story. Namecheap provides low affiliate rates and commissions compared to other hosting providers. That’s why other people don’t put Namecheap on their lists.

Also, Namecheap offers ad credit, just like Bluehost. Google will help you to find its terms. Namecheap has a slightly customized cPanel version and an easy to control dashboard with their slick design.

If you are just starting things with a low budget, Namecheap is the option for you. Namecheap provides a combo package including Hosting plan and Domain.

3. Hostgator Review – Most Reliable Hosting

In my experience, Hostgator is the most reliable hosting provider that I found so far. They have a fantastic knowledge base to solve most of your problems. Their support is on point, but they are not responsive as Bluehost and Namecheap. If you are asking what the best method to contact them is, It’s their Toll-Free phone number.

If you are are looking for a hosting provider to host your adult content, Hostgator is the choice for you (make sure to read terms of use). NB: I didn’t mean Hostgator for adult content ???? It just allows to host adult content.

4. A2 Hosting Review – Best Features Set for Developers

What we love about A2 Hosting is, they provide lots of features out-of-the-box even for the basic plan. If you ever worked on a website before, you could have experience with website staging ↱. If hosting provides dose not provide such a feature, you have to configure everything manually. With A2 Hosting, you can counter that problem because they provide website staging. That’s not all! They provide Node.js, PostgreSQL, Python, Ruby, SSH with deep permission, and more.

So, is this host only works for developers? Of course not! A2 Host provides all tools as other hosting providers and similar interfaces. The best part is they are very open about their pricing. The main downside is, their support team is not quick as the top 3 providers of this list.

5. Hostinger Review – Good hosting provider for small businesses and individuals

Hostinger is a good web hosting provider for small businesses and individuals. I don’t want to overrate Hostinger like other reviewers that’s why I use ‘good’. They have some affordable hosting plans like $0.99 per month plan. But, if you look closer, you have to purchase 48 months hosting plan and they just provide one website and one email account for the plan.

If you are an individual who needs to create a portfolio website or if you have a small local business that you don’t want to expand anytime soon, you can get maximum value from the Hostinger.

Hostinger is a very beginner-friendly website. Most of the things are straight forward, and they have quite good customer support. But, they have outstanding community support to fix most of your problems.
