How these guides are made

Official sources

Prices and limits come from each host’s own pricing and help pages, linked at the end of every guide.

Dated checks

Each guide shows when prices were checked. Hosting prices change; the checkout is always the final word.

No invented tests

We do not publish benchmarks or testimonials we did not produce. Vendor claims are labeled as such.

Editorial independence & affiliate disclosure

The Steady Stack is independent of Cloudways, DigitalOcean, and every other host mentioned. Some Cloudways links on this site are affiliate links: if you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Links to Kinsta, WP Engine, Rocket.net, SiteGround, and other providers are ordinary links with no affiliation. No company paid for placement, and we do not offer coupons or rewards for signing up. This is a document-based guide: we did not run lab benchmarks, and we do not present vendor claims as test results.
