🧩 How to Choose a Cloud Provider

Before selecting a provider, consider these five core factors:

  • Price vs. performance: Use our pricing table to estimate monthly costs across providers.
  • Data center locations: Choose a provider with data centers near your audience.
  • Scaling and flexibility: How fast can resources scale up or down?
  • Backup + restore speed: Faster backups help reduce downtime.

We recommend running short performance tests with your site on 2+ providers to compare real-world speeds.
