Ranked by WhichHosting score
Scored on performance, reliability, price, features, support, ease of use, security and value. Commercial relationships never change the order.
Provider plans, prices and specs change often. Each provider carries a verification state and a last-checked date; anything not yet checked by our editors is shown as pending verification rather than as a confirmed fact. Always confirm the current offer on the provider's site.

Rankings by use case
A short, deliberately narrow ranking. It only includes providers whose official websites document infrastructure or products aimed at AI workloads and always-on AI agents — GPU instances, agent hosting or one-click AI/LLM application deployment. Providers without a documented AI offering are not listed here, even when they rank well in our general hosting rankings.

E-E-A-T
Every provider passes through the same framework of 8 weighted criteria: performance, reliability, price (including renewal pricing, not just intro offers), features, support, ease of use, security and value. Scores are recorded per criterion so you can see exactly why a provider ranks where it does — and each data point carries a verification state and a last-checked date.
