I do a lot of WP hosting and my recent anecdotal experience is that big-popular-named hosting service outperforms premium-tech-oriented hosting service. $15/month versus $125/month. I was shocked. Worked with premium service too, but they were not interested in delving. After 8+ years of being their customer.
Point is, for others — don’t automatically assume well reviewed premium ho$ting is what you need. It may, in fact, be a lot slower.

- browningstreet 3y agoI have sites on both Siteground and Hostinger. Happy with both. If you're new to WP or hosting or care about website vitality, pay a little extra for "access to a human" technical support. Still cheap. If you're very particular about configs it's probably better to go with roll-you-own. I'm pretty happy to stick with what's offered -- WP appliance versus customization. As always: download your backups regularly, though.. I have yet to be bitten in this regard (plenty of other instances across 20+ years of doing this kind of stuff). If this is really important to you, automate the download or go with a host that will backup to Google Drive or similar.
