I often get asked for recommendations on which hosting company to choose to host a Magento site. If you want your Magento site to run smoothly and to load fast, you will need a Magento Optimized Hosting service.
There are a lot of choices out there when looking for a hosting company which is optimized for Magento. I didn’t test them all but I did test a few and I’ve had the best experience with Nexcess Magento Hosting so I can definitely recommend them. They have plans starting at $24.95/mth and their most basic plan would fit the bill for most projects.

Regarding performance the best is to simply compare how fast your Magento site loads with different hosts – most hosts offer a free trial period which you can use to compare performance. Here is a good tool you can use (it’s free): http://tools.pingdom.com/
I hope this helps!

That’s why I’ve started compiling a list and have been testing as many as I can.
