Final Verdict
Who should buy Hosting.com?
Small businesses and bloggers that need fast hosting at affordable prices should consider Hosting.com. Because hosting.com also offers managed VPS hosting, medium sized businesses and heavier traffic sites may also find them a good fit. However, this performance test focused on their WordPress hosting.
Who shouldn’t buy Hosting.com?
Heavy traffic site owners should look for higher powered managed WordPress hosting or Cloud VPS. Our load testing of 250 and 500 clients per minute respectively, showed that Hosting.com could handle those situations fine. However, when pushed to 1000 clients per minute, the server started to produce errors. Also, our WooCommerce test results were not as impressive as other hosts we’ve tested.
