For a variety of reasons, more and more people decide to create their websites. Be it as a presentation for their existing businesses, to sell things, to write about their hobbies, as a blog, or even to make the website their business itself. There are now over 1.7 billion websites on the internet and that number is increasing literally every second. The foundation of every website is a server on which the website can be virtually located or, differently put, a server that will host the website. This is where web hosting services come into play.

These web hosting companies offer you to host your website on their servers in exchange for a monthly (or annual) fee. It is a bit like paying for rent so that your website can “live” on its servers. As the number of websites is growing steadily, the number of web hosting providers has unsurprisingly also grown by quite a lot over the last years. By how much? Well, there are hundreds of thousands of web hosting services in the world right now. Yes, you read correctly. Many of those are, however, only locally available in the country or region they operate in.

The biggest web hosting services, on the other hand, tend to offer their services to website owners from all around the globe. Each of these companies possesses enough server power to be able to accommodate a large number of websites. At least they should.

Within this big sea of different web-hosting providers, it can and is quite hard to choose the right one. It is also not easy to determine which web hosting providers are the best. Prices can be an important, sometimes among the most important, factor in the choice of a web hosting plan, but cheap doesn’t mean best. There are first and foremost two objective factors by which you can measure the quality of a web hosting service: Reliability (expressed by the uptime, meaning the time a hosted website is flawlessly online and reachable) and Speed (expressed by the average load time of the hosted website).

Based on these factors, the following ranking shows you the current Top 10 Best Web Hosting Services in the world.
