As you may recall from my posts last year, I tested eight different webhosting providers and observed many significant negative changes in this industry. Many webhosters cut resources while raising prices, or only offer phone support rather than live chat, among other shady practices.
By the way, you call Godaddy a criminal when they steal your domain on search (the next day your domain is listed as premium for $400), but wait a minute, isn't it the US government that allows companies to do this?
Some people in Europe are also engaging in this practice.
Back on topic, I see some good webhosters in the UK have very fast overall speed in Europe, the UK, and the US, often faster than us webhosting providers, same with ionos they are not bad but have their twists, but they make their monthly billing prices more clear than GD what it costs like the first 12 months $1 after that $12 as an example. However, there are some caveats: you cannot make PHP settings, only premium webhosting plans and higher can use cloudflare, and only with the www subdomain, not the root domain. Live chat is only available during working hours during the week, but that's fine.
The disadvantage of European webhosting is their GDPA contract (or something), which some charge you extra money for. The EU dictatorship in Brussels has done this; it is an extra page of GDPA, privacy, and other such nonsense...annoying.
The UK webhosting providers are the best and most liberal in Europe.
I'm from Germany, and it's a shame what they're doing to Europe; God bless the American people!
Also, UK webhosters are reliable and fast; some even offer a free first month (british pound)
IONOS does not have rude practices in Europe like Godaddy, such as charging you $150 to back up your wordpress site when it is crushed, or other strange things- no. However, their server resources in the higher webhosting plans are confusing, such as this: 1 CPU but 9GB ram....doesn't make sense, better is 2cpu and 9gb ram or 2cpu and 2gb ram...
I'm very happy with my webhosting at mddhosting; they know what they're doing and provide lightning-fast live chat support. For around $15 per month, you can get fast webhosting with two CPUs and two gigabytes of RAM.
