Which Hosting Route Fits Your Website?

Pick the closest match to your current need. You do not need to buy more technical hosting than the website requires.

Business Website

For a company, service or brochure website that needs a practical hosting route, domain email and SSL.

WordPress Website

For an editable WordPress site with pages, forms, galleries, blogs and regular updates.

Online Shop

For a WordPress shop using WooCommerce, with product pages, baskets and checkout.

Business Email Only

For professional email addresses on your own domain when mailboxes are the main need.

Growing Website

For a website that needs more configurable resources without moving straight to server management.

Root Access or Dedicated CPU

For projects that genuinely need a VPS, VDS, custom server software or server-level control.

Questions answered

Compare Hosting FAQs

Clear answers before choosing a hosting route.

The Compare Hosting hub helps you narrow down the right hosting route for a website, WordPress site, online shop, business email, cloud hosting, VPS or VDS before you choose a plan.

Choose a standard web or business hosting route when you need a straightforward website, domain email and SSL without server administration. Compare WordPress hosting when you want an editable CMS website.

Choose WordPress hosting when your website will be built and managed with WordPress. Choose general web hosting when you need a broader website route, including static HTML or another website setup.

Choose WooCommerce hosting when your shop uses WordPress and WooCommerce. It is the relevant route for product pages, baskets, checkout and the plugins used by a WooCommerce store.

Choose cloud hosting when your website needs more configurable resources without moving straight to root-server management. It can be a better next step for a growing website that needs more room.

Choose VPS or VDS when you genuinely need root access, custom server software or server-level control. VPS is a flexible virtual-server route, while VDS is the dedicated-CPU route.

VPS is a flexible virtual-server route for projects that need root access and configurable resources. VDS is intended for projects where dedicated CPU resources are the main requirement.

Choose email-only hosting when professional mailboxes are your main need. Choose email and website hosting together when you also need website space, SSL, files, WordPress or databases in the same hosting route.

Yes. Start with the hosting route that fits the website today, then move to more capacity or server control when the site and its technical requirements genuinely need it.

Before changing hosting, compare the website software you use, the number of domains and mailboxes you need, resource requirements, access level, and whether a live website or email service needs to be moved.
