FastComet
cPanel shared and WordPress hosting with first-term discounts
Which one is for you
Pick FastComet if
- Fits if your visitors are in Asia or Australia and you want a data centre nearby
- Works for one site that needs staging and daily backups on cPanel
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you need more than one site or 5 mailboxes, as Starter stops there
- Pricey if you stay past the first term, when Starter goes to $9.95 a month
- Skip it if you want backups kept long on Starter, which holds 7 days
- Watch out: visits are an estimate, about 10,000 a month on Starter, backed by fixed CPU and RAM limits
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial, only a $6.99 first month
Pick Verpex if
- Fits if you want a cheap first year on a single site
- Makes sense if you resell hosting and want cPanel and WHM
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey at renewal, since Bronze, Silver and Gold cost double the first year
- Skip it if you want a free trial, as none is listed
- Tight if you have several sites, because Bronze hosts one
- Watch out: the page does not say whether the free domain is first-year only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
