"A2 Hosting have created a very powerful product, promising all the latest technologies and fast support. This is definitely one to put on your shortlist.

#3. TMDHosting
Jonathan Griffin. Editor, Hosting Expert, SEO Developer, & SEO Consultant.
"When choosing high-quality shared hosting, there are two main things you want; Firstly, a high-tech technology stack, that includes dynamic caching, such as Memcache, OpCache, and NGINX. Secondly, a good support department that answers your queries quickly, and is willing to help with basic tasks such as WordPress Installation. TMDHosting excells in both these points, as well as providing an array of extras that make web hosting a breeze. "The above ratings are calculated from 45 customers.
- Choice of Linux or Windows Hosting
- Unlimited SSD storage, and Free Domain.
- OpCache, Memcache, NGINX, and HTTP/2 for performance.

#4. Namecheap
Jonathan Griffin. Editor, Hosting Expert, SEO Developer, & SEO Consultant.
"Namecheap's shared hosting is incredibly good on price, but somewhat lacking in performance-related features. Their Stellar Business plan used to be quite good, but with the RAM-based caching reliant on old PHP versions, we think this is long due an upgrade on the technical side. Overall, while we love Namecheap as a Registrar, we can't get excited about their shared hosting. "The above ratings are calculated from 53 customers.
- cPanel with Softaculous for easy hosting management and software installation.
- Up to 50 FREE Positive SSL certificates for the first year.
- Twice-weekly backups as standard, with daily + weekly backups on their Stellar Business plan.
- 24 / 7 Technical Support via Live Chat and Ticket.
