Clear Leaders & A Crowded Middle

Benchmark every major hosting platform on the metrics that matter: security, speed, uptime, support, and total agency fit.

What to expect

  • Know the winners. Five hosts, AWS, WP Engine, Google, DigitalOcean, and GoDaddy, outperform the field on both Performance & Reliability and Agency Fit scores derived from nine core factors.
  • Spot hidden gaps. Ten “middle-tier” providers reveal single-factor strengths (budget speed, designer workflows, domain bundles) and the weaknesses that keep them off agency short-lists.
  • Make data-backed decisions. Security, site speed, and uptime dominate host selection; partner perks come last. Use our weighted ranking tables to defend budgets and reassure clients.
  • Save weeks of research. We distilled 118 director-level survey responses, 40+ verbatim quotes, and core factor heat maps into a 39-page report you can read in an afternoon.
