1.SiteGround
SiteGround is our number one choice for its combination of speed and price. At 57 ms, it’s the fastest host in the Malaysian region (especially if you choose to locate the server in Singapore.)
Better yet, you won’t sacrifice speed across the rest of the world. Siteground gets an A rating across the rest of the world. In other words, it’s super fast in Malaysia, and it’s fast everywhere else too!
You can accelerate the worldwide speed even further by enabling the SiteGround’s free CDN function. Powered by Cloudflare, this stores your website locally on servers around the world. So no matter where your audience is, they always get served from the fastest location.
SiteGround is also affordable. At RM213 , it’s (almost) the cheapest host on the list. And it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. Not only that, but SiteGround is a global web host that powers more than 500,000 of websites. You’re in good hands. You get daily backups too so you won’t lose all your hard work. FYI, we host this website Bitcatcha.com on SiteGround’s server!

Inmotion Hosting
If you’re aiming for a global audience, this is one of the fastest hosts out there. It scores A+ across the world. Only one host on this list is faster (HostGator Cloud – which is twice as expensive).
At 199 ms in Asia, it’s not the quickest host for Malaysian audiences, but it’s still within Google’s 200 msguideline.
It comes with unlimited storage and bandwidth, so you’ll never end up paying for more resources. It also guarantees 99.9% uptime and backs up your data every day.
Their customer support is top notch too. It received an independent A+ rating for their 24/7 phone support.

It boasts a 99.5% uptime, which isn’t as high as we typically recommend, but it’s still respectable.
Exabytes comes optimised for WordPress and features a one-click install, making it easy for newcomers.

HostGator Cloud
HostGator Cloud is the single fastest web host on our list. Across the world, it scores an A+ rating and the average response time is better than all others.
However, it’s also the most expensive host on our list.
You do get a lot for your money. Super speed, unlimited storage and bandwidth, and unmatched reliability.
As the name suggests, HostGator Cloud uses cloud technology. It’s naturally more reliable because you’re sharing the load across multiple servers. It’s scalable too. If your site gets bigger, the host naturally expands to give you more.
