The best web hosting for freelancers gives you a platform for selling yourself online, whether it's through a creative portfolio or a full digital storefront. Note that web hosting is distinct from a website builder, in that it refers to the location of your website (i.e. its URL) rather than the content of the pages.

Freelancers need a secure, stable web host, and we've compiled this list of the top choices based on our team's reviewing and testing. Once you've designed your website, likely using one of the best website builders for artists or the best website builders for small business, these are the services that will keep it online, for a small monthly or annual cost.
