Selecting a WordPress host in 2025 extends far beyond pricing considerations. Whether you manage a corporate website, an online store, or multiple sites for an agency, the determining factors remain consistent: performance, support quality, management ease, and increasingly, environmental commitment.
The decisive elements for your choice
A meaningful comparison cannot be reduced to storage volumes alone. For most organisations, these aspects truly make the difference:
Performance: loading speed and stability during traffic spikes.
Technical support: response relevance, availability, and ability to resolve concrete issues.
WordPress features: backup systems, testing environments, update management, SSL certificates.
Environmental responsibility: energy choices and sustainable infrastructure approach.
Infomaniak: Swiss precision and environmental commitment
Infomaniak, based in Switzerland, attracts users through its methodical approach and well-designed tools. The interface remains intuitive, backup options are robust, and the host actively communicates about its ecological initiatives: optimised data centres, heat recovery, renewable electricity supply depending on offers. This solution particularly suits organisations concerned about their environmental image and seeking a reliable partner.
O2Switch: accessibility and local support
O2Switch, a French host, focuses on an easily understandable all-in-one approach. Many site owners appreciate this simplicity and generally responsive support. For an SME or association managing a standard WordPress site, this option often proves wise: less time wasted deciphering complex offers.
OVH: diverse offerings for specific needs
OVH provides an extensive catalogue ranging from shared hosting to advanced cloud solutions. This variety becomes an asset if you have particular requirements or if your technical team can identify the appropriate offer. In return, selection requires more attention: depending on the chosen formula, guidance and performance can vary considerably.
Adapting your choice according to your project
Corporate or institutional site: prioritise responsive support, automated backups, and simplified management. Infomaniak or O2Switch will meet these criteria according to your priorities.
Online store: focus on performance, backups, staging environments, and scaling capacity. OVH or certain Infomaniak offers will suit better.
Agency managing multiple sites: seek centralised management tools, clear offers, and structured support processes. OVH for technical profiles, Infomaniak or O2Switch to standardise your practices.
Your context determines the right choice
No host can claim to be universally optimal. With equivalent budgets, differences often crystallise around support quality, actual performance, and your expectations regarding responsible hosting.
