Customer Service/Reliability: Zippy Kid

Both services provide multiple ways to contact them in the event that you have a problem, and have a large staff of WordPress experts available. We’re giving Zippy Kid the award for this one because our experience with Page.ly was less than what we expected.

Features: ZippyKid

When it comes to features, both hosts offer automatic core updates and nightly backups. Page.ly includes a limited number of pro features, such as improved DNS, dedicated IP support and WordPress Multisite support for each of their plans. Only the DNS feature comes with the base plan, and if you want all 10 pro features, you’ll have to sign up for the enterprise pricing. ZippyKid includes additional features such as a dedicated IP, or additional site support for an additional $10/month/each. We’re giving this one to ZippyKid because of their feature that allows you to bring in additional developers when you need help.

Overall: Zippy Kid

Overall, both of these hosts provide a quality service you can count on, but it’s the additional features and value that pushes Zippy Kid to the top on this one.
