Verpex
Pros
- + Nine server locations across four continents, including Mumbai, Singapore, and Sydney — rare at this price
- + LiteSpeed + LSCache + NVMe is the right WordPress stack for shared hosting
- + Renewal pricing and resource limits (entry processes, IOPS, I/O caps) published openly on the plan tables
- + Free migrations for any number of sites, daily backups, and free SSL included on all plans
- + 24/7 ticket, chat, and phone support on every tier
Cons
- - $0.60 headline is a first-month intro; real entry price is $6.00/mo renewal
- - 99.50% uptime guarantee on the entry plan is below what we accept for production sites
- - Small, young company (2018) with thin independent uptime and support data
- - Shared-tier resource ceilings (30 entry processes, 50 MB/s I/O) cap performance well before the hardware does
- - Marketing still claims 12 datacenter locations while the homepage lists 9
GridPane

- + One dashboard across multiple cloud providers

Cons
- - Support tickets excluded from the free tier
- - Requires server and DNS literacy — steep for beginners
