Leaders Merchant Services
Though it has a less-than-stellar track record amongst merchants, Leaders Merchant Services (LMS) has recently made a push to turn things around. For the most part, this effort has been successful. A 98% approval rate, essential but reliable features, and top-tier customer service make LMS one of the best credit card processors around, even if some past frustrations remain...
Smartsheet
If you don't mind a crude UI, Smartsheet is a powerful software that’s good for managing both small and large projects. You can use it to organize a team, create stunning reports, and optimize your schedule. However, Smartsheet can take a while to learn. And unlike most other project management software, it doesn’t have a free plan.
PaymentCloud
PaymentCloud has earned a reputation for high approval rates, helpful customer support, and features for both e-commerce and physical transactions. Your contract comes with free equipment, and reprogramming of existing hardware is also an option. Although it can be difficult to figure out exactly how much you'll pay before contacting sales, rest assured its plans are...
Clover POS Systems
Clover offers some of the most advanced and versatile POS devices on the market. Its main con has been the less-than-stellar credit card processing provided by its parent company, Fiserv. With the introduction of Paysafe’s high-quality credit card processing, however, the Clover + Paysafe combination could be one of the best available for merchants today.
Zoho Projects
Zoho Projects definitely looks good, and it offers fantastic value for its price. It’s a particularly excellent software if you are familiar with the Zoho ecosystem or you manage a small-to-medium-sized team. But while there’s much to love about Zoho, it can get complicated to use if you manage large, complex projects. Read on to see what I mean.
InterServer
InterServer’s offering is very clear: unlimited resources at low rates. While it delivers on this promise, there aren’t many standout features beyond this. Also, it only has data centers within the US, so it’s not the ideal provider for an international site. If you’re willing to look past that, though, InterServer provides excellent performance and complete flexibility at...
Webador
Webador’s strong suit is easy to use, making it an excellent choice for beginners. With an intuitive and user-friendly editor and highly affordable pricing, it’s a standout option for quickly getting a site online. However, users seeking advanced customization and more robust features may find it lacking and might need to explore other options.
ScalaHosting
ScalaHosting offers outstanding performance and feature variety, especially for its prices. You might find that its shared hosting plans don’t stand out much when compared to other providers, but its cloud and VPS hosting plans are its best-value offerings. If you’re looking for a provider that can grow along with your website(s), ScalaHosting is a very good choice.
FastComet
FastComet’s worldwide data centers make it a solid choice for reaching locations like East and South Asia. It also provides every basic feature you’d expect from a quality host (even if it doesn’t come with many extras). When you add excellent customer support and a user-friendly interface, FastComet is an excellent choice for beginners looking to reach a worldwide audience.
PaySafe POS
Though it's received mixed reviews in the past, Paysafe’s tailored transaction fees, high-risk merchant accounts, and support for international payment methods certainly make it an ideal choice for some businesses. Its POS offering might be fairly standard, but it includes everything you need to accept your customers' preferred payment methods.
IONOS Website Builder
MyWebsite Now from IONOS is a dead-simple site builder with very low prices. If you want to get a website up and running very quickly, it could be just right. It also has a nifty e-commerce feature in case you’re starting an online store. Just be aware that the English version is not available in all countries. If you’re in the right region, it’s worth a glance!
Rytr
Thanks to its classic word processing interface and variety of AI writing features, Rytr is an excellent tool for writers and content creators looking to streamline their workflow. Its selection of tones and use cases also makes it incredibly versatile. But if you’re looking to generate entire articles with just the click of a button, Rytr won’t be for you.
Kinsta
If you have great expectations for your website, Kinsta’s cloud-based managed WordPress hosting delivers incredible performance worldwide. It also gives you useful hosting tools and a user-friendly dashboard. It’s an ideal choice for far-reaching and continuously evolving websites, but its high price won’t suit everyone.
Web.com Website Builder
June 2025 Update: Web.com is now part of Network Solutions. This review is based on Web.com’s former features and pricing. A fully updated Network Solutions (formerly Web.com) review is coming soon.
TeamGantt
TeamGantt is extremely easy to use thanks to its great-looking user interface (UI). It's an attractive tool if you're an inexperienced manager or can't wait to get your project up and running. But unlike other project management software, TeamGantt doesn’t provide much beyond the basics. For small, simple projects, that’s more than enough. For larger projects, it’s a...

ScalaHosting VPS Review: Our Honest Expert Opinion [2025]
In the marketing for ScalaHosting’s VPS plans, the company promises not to overload the servers, and it promises that the hardware you pay for will be exactly what you get. It also promises that if you get the managed VPS hosting, you won’t have any technical issues to worry about. It also promises to be affordable (and it is that, at least). But is this affordable VPS...

Best Free Website Builders for Nonprofits (TESTED) in 2025
While there are many good free website builders out there, few truly meet the needs of nonprofits.

You need a website that looks great and helps spread the word about your mission without breaking the bank. In an ideal world, it would help...
Meta To Develop Technology for the US Army
Meta has partnered with defense company Anduril to develop extended reality (XR) products for the US Army.
