Also worth a look
Why scores differ from the homepage. Every guide uses the same six score components but weights them for the job. This one counts guide features (30%) and renewal price (20%) most; the homepage's all-round score gives renewal price the biggest share. So WebHosting UK scores 9.7 here and 8.6 overall (#1 on the homepage, where WebHosting UK is #1). See this guide's weights · Methodology
Lowest 3-year cost is not the same as the top score. Hostinger has the lowest 3-year total in this guide (£86 inc VAT, against £142 for WebHosting UK) but scores 6.6/10 here, because the guide score weighs more than the 3-year total. Check the terms on its plan before you buy: some of the lowest prices need a long term paid upfront.

Guide features: Managed WordPress, Staging, WP auto-updates, LiteSpeed/caching. Only features verified on the provider's own site count.
Any host with PHP and MySQL can run WordPress, so "WordPress hosting" is really about how much work the host takes off you. Our WordPress score gives 30% to four verified features (managed WordPress, staging, auto-updates and caching), 20% each to support and renewal price, 15% to Trustpilot and 10% to a UK data centre.
WebHosting UK scores highest at 9.7/10. SiteGround is runner-up at 6.7. Features we couldn't verify on a provider's own site count as missing, so a host may score better once it publishes them.
