It brings me great joy to inform you NameHero was recently rated Number ONE WordPress Web Host for 2020 by WordPress expert and popular YouTuber Darrel Wilson.
Darrel tested the most popular companies in the industry for a total of 60 days measuring speed, uptime, customer service, etc.
NameHero’s Web Hosting outranked SiteGround, A2Hosting, GreenGeeks, Hostpapa, FastComent, 1&1 Ionus, GoDaddy, Bluehost, TMDHosting, Media Temple, HostGator, iPage, and InMotion hosting!
Last year NameHero came in a near tie for the top 3 in the competition, but we’ve since worked night and day on continuing to improve our service to claim the number 1 spot!
In order to conduct the test, Darrel setup identical WordPress installs with the same theme, plugins, etc. and then used a third party monitoring service to keep check for 60 consecutive days.
Overall, NameHero had a total of 4 minutes of downtime, an average server response of .80 seconds, and an average page load speed of 1.19 seconds. It’s worth noting he did not use any special optimization plugins/tools such as caching, Cloudflare, etc.

Since starting NameHero in late 2014, I’ve been on a mission to provide a high-speed, reliable, and scalable web hosting service to individuals and small businesses that is easy and affordable, regardless the size of their website.
Coming in the number one spot amongst the top WordPress web hosts within the industry is a great honor but it’s also not a reason for us to stand still. I believe we have to continue to adapt, develop, and progress and the industry is always changing.
As we head into 2020 we’re going to continue to optimize and make more improvements to our network.
I do want to thank Darrel for his hard work putting together this competition as well as all of our Superhero team members who made this possible!
Additionally, I always tell potential customers, there is no substitute for testing yourself, so feel free to signup for a Web Hosting package and experience the NameHero difference first hand!

Congrats and well deserved. And I can back up that test data with my own experience of offering site services to clients on a variety of hosts. There’s a reason they are leaving those other hosts and coming to NameHero and instantly so much happier!
Thank you so much MaAnna!!! We very much value your business and look forward to continue serving you and your clients! 😉
Congrats!!! ?That’s awesome! I started with Bluehost (back before they were sold), moved over to InMotion for a while (before they got really bad/unreliable), and have been happily with NameHero for over a year now. Your hosting and customer support rocks! Thanks for your team’s great work and congrats on taking the #1 spot in Darrel’s review! ?
Thank you Peter!! We won’t rest on our laurels and if you ever need anything, just let me know!!
We here at The 35 Squad (a small agency in Brazil) congratulate the entire NameHero team for this recognition. We cannot fail to say that we are very satisfied with the quality of the services provided by NameHero, the efficiency and speed of its support and patience (with some matters involving invoices :). We are happy with this partnership.
