Web hosting for Philippine small businesses depends on the platform (WordPress, static, custom). The big picture: cheap shared hosting is usually false economy; managed WordPress or modern cloud platforms are worth the modest premium.
Recommended hosting
Pricing below is as of publication; vendor rates change frequently — verify current rates with each provider before relying on these figures.
Cloudflare Pages (free): Static sites, Astro, Next.js. Free tier covers most small business needs. Excellent global performance.
Hostinger: Cheap, decent WordPress hosting starting around ₱150/month. Suitable for most PH small business WordPress sites.
SiteGround: Better performance than budget hosts. Starting around ₱500/month.
Cloudways: Managed cloud WordPress hosting. Starting around $14/month (~₱800/month). Good for slightly more demanding sites.
Kinsta, WP Engine: Premium managed WordPress. Starting at $35–$40/month (~₱2,000–₱2,300/month). For high-traffic sites.
What to avoid
₱100/month shared hosting from unknown providers. Performance and uptime usually poor.
Local PH hosts (with exceptions): Most aren’t competitive on infrastructure or pricing. Cloudflare and international hosts with Singapore data centers usually perform better for PH visitors.
Budget
Hosting is separate from the website build. Plan for ₱500–₱2,500/month depending on hosting tier and traffic.
