Hello Lorna,

Interesting topic, I have tried almost all the hosting you mention and they work great, but for most of them you need to have knowledge of sysadmin. Many of my customers do not have that knowledge. Siteground was a great solution for them for a while.

I have tested literally hundreds of hosting companies since I do many installations for open classifieds.

Theres some other things I always recommend to clients to check before they buy hosting:
– SSD disks
– cPanel or similar
– How many domains can host
– 24/7 support
– Uses Linux
– 1 Click Software Install
– Server locations.

Here I did a recent list of hosting that I have tried in the last 3 months, with recommended hosting and not recommended.

Hope is useful to some of you!
