Ratings-only comparisons hide the actual trade-offs. This looks at the same three providers across four concrete criteria, side by side, so the differences are easier to weigh against what you actually need.
Why these four criteria
Performance and support are the two things you notice constantly; ease of use determines how much of your own time a host costs you day to day; scalability determines whether you'll need to migrate again in a year. Price alone rarely tells the whole story.
The honest trade-off
None of the three is strictly better — Hostinger wins on price and simplicity, Cloudways wins on headroom, and SiteGround sits in the middle with the most consistently good support. The right pick depends on which of those three you're least willing to compromise on.
