Surprisingly, there is such a big variation between the most common hosts on the market thus this test is even more important.
We test and rank the best performing Web Host based on pure numbers. If you’re website demands lots of CPU numbers crunching,
we highly recommend BlueHost and 1&1. While you should consider HostGator if you´re website mainly contains intense database that does not require lots of CPU power.
Your personal needs decides which Web Host to choose. Our personal choice would be BlueHost since they performed best in average.

BlueHost scored in several of our tests. BlueHost is rather expensive but worth every penny since its performance impressed in all categories. If you’re looking for a reliable WebHost with high speed, go for BlueHost.

Even though we tried to approach HostGator and its playful design with critical eyes we immediatly realized that we loved it. Quick setup and installation combined with a very attractiv "trial month" explains Hostgators expansion. Impressivly quick MySQL servers combined with good average performance as long as you dont do to much number crunshing, upgrade the packages and get more CPU power if needed.
1And1 feels alot like old school where performance beats good looks. Delivering knockout MySQL punches followed by rapid series of CPU number crunching. 1And1 quickly earned several top positions in our tests. We are a bit supriced that the throughput was lower then average though. Also, UI/Admin (User interface) feels a bit old and technical. We suggest Cloudflare for free when using 1And1. 1And1 is a bit like Mr Handman, can do a greate work with just about anything.
Interserver combines greate performance with a trial month for just $0.01. An easy choice for those who are uncertain
about what a premium web host brings to the table. Both loadtime and performance is superb, a bit slow admin/cpanel though.
Trial month!: We can now offer a coupon code making it possible to test
Interserver for one entire month for only 1-cent. Just click the link/button.
iPage delivers quick support and easy to use features combined with excellent uptime. Choosing iPage would be a perfect choice for those with alot of static content that don't require too much CPU/MySQL power. The loadtime is superb in both USA and Europe. Very affordable price.
