Hi Josias! What a great list! As a web developer who is managing a lot of clients at a time, I had to choose the best hosting that offered the choice of having unlimited websites on one platform. I tried out Cloudways 3 day free trial and was mindblown with the user-friendliness of the platform. It’s been 8 months and I am super satisfied with Cloudways performance, my website’s speed, and the flexibility I get to scale the serve according to my needs. When it comes to hosting, I always look for a pay as you go model and Cloudways luckily has the same.

One of my close friends suggested to me about the DomainRacer. Because he had been using it for 3 years and was completely satisfied with it. So I went for the DomainRacer.

Cloudflare just announced their new service named pages for Jamstack apps. Their free plan definitely will beat all of the plans listed above.😀
