ChatGPT answers, unedited

For a two-person agency managing client sites, I’d put SiteGround at the top of your shortlist—especially if most of your sites are WordPress.

My pick: SiteGround

It lines up unusually well with your workflow:

• Central agency management: you can manage client sites from your SiteGround account and add collaborators without sharing your main credentials. au.siteground.com
• Easy handoff: SiteGround specifically supports moving a site to another client and transferring billing in one step. You can also hand a site to a client while retaining collaborator access for ongoing maintenance. au.siteground.com
• White-label option: GoGeek and Cloud plans support white-label Site Tools, so clients don't necessarily have to interact with SiteGround's branding. au.siteground.com
• Domain + hosting: SiteGround sells domains alongside hosting, which keeps the initial setup relatively simple.
• Migration: it has tools/support for bringing existing client sites over, and its agency program is explicitly built around site transfers and client handoffs. au.siteground.com

The important caveat: I'd favor GoGeek or Cloud rather than the cheapest plan if this is becoming part of your agency's standard workflow. The agency-oriented features—particularly customizable client roles and white labeling—are much more useful there.

Runner-up: Cloudways

Cloudways is arguably better if you're comfortable managing a slightly more technical hosting environment. It lets agencies put multiple client sites on a server, provides team permissions, staging/backups, and free expert migrations. It also supports transferring a server to a client's account, including billing. www.cloudways.com

The drawback for your specific requirement is that Cloudways isn't really the clean domain-registration + hosting under one roof solution you're asking for. You'd generally keep domain registration elsewhere.

What I'd choose

Bottom line: I'd standardize on SiteGround GoGeek/Cloud, register domains through the same account, keep clients separated with collaborator access, and hand off billing/sites when a client leaves. That gives a two-person agency a relatively clean "we manage everything until you own it" workflow. au.siteground.com

One thing I'd be careful about: don't make the agency the permanent owner of a client's domain without a documented transfer process. Even if hosting stays under your agency account, make domain ownership/registrant details and eventual transfer explicit in your client agreement.

For a two-person web agency, I’d put SiteGround at the top of the list, with GoDaddy as the alternative if domain management/reselling is the bigger priority.

1. SiteGround — best overall for an agency

siteground.com

This is probably the best fit for your workflow because it’s designed around building, managing, and handing off client sites rather than just selling hosting.

• Hosting + domain registration: You can register domains directly through SiteGround and connect them automatically to new sites. SiteGround SiteGround
• Client handoff: You can transfer a site's ownership to a client, including the site's files, databases, email accounts, SSL certificates, and—when registered with SiteGround—the domain. SiteGround
• Keep managing the site afterward: You can remain a collaborator after handing ownership to the client. SiteGround
• Two-person team: Both of you can have collaborator access without sharing the client's account credentials or exposing billing information. SiteGround
• Multiple sites: GrowBig and higher tiers are intended for managing multiple client sites from one dashboard. SiteGround
• WordPress migrations: Their Migrator can move multiple WordPress sites into the account at no additional cost. SiteGround
• White-label option: GoGeek/Cloud plans can give clients white-label access if you eventually want to sell hosting as part of your agency package. SiteGround

The important distinction: SiteGround lets you build a site under your agency's management, then actually hand ownership to the client while retaining collaborator access. That's unusually well suited to an agency model.

2. GoDaddy — best if domains are the priority

godaddy.com

GoDaddy is worth considering if you expect to manage lots of client domains.

Its delegate-access system is particularly useful: clients can give you access without giving you their password, and permissions can be separated between management and domain-transfer access. GoDaddy Help Center GoDaddy Help Center

It also supports delegated access to hosting, WordPress hosting, DNS, and other products. GoDaddy

The downside is that I find the agency/client-site handoff workflow less elegant than SiteGround's. GoDaddy's domain transfers are straightforward, but a domain transfer doesn't necessarily carry associated hosting/email products with it. GoDaddy Help Center

My recommendation

For your particular situation, I'd choose SiteGround:

Suggested agency setup: Put each client site in its own SiteGround website, register the client's domain there, add both agency members as collaborators, and when the project is finished transfer ownership to the client while retaining collaborator access. That gives you a clean separation between client ownership and your ongoing maintenance access. SiteGround SiteGround

One caveat: don't optimize purely for the cheapest introductory hosting price. For an agency, easy ownership transfers, permissions, backups, staging, migration tools, and predictable renewal pricing will save considerably more time than a few dollars per site.

For a two-person agency managing client websites, I’d put SiteGround at the top of the list.

SiteGround Agency Hosting

Why SiteGround fits your workflow

• One dashboard for many client sites. You can manage multiple sites from one account and give your teammate collaborator access without sharing your billing credentials. www.siteground.comwww.siteground.com
• Domains + hosting together. Their reseller-oriented plans include domain registration, with a free domain for the first year on qualifying plans. www.siteground.comwww.siteground.com
• Very good client handoff. You can transfer a site's ownership to a client, including its files, databases, email accounts and SSL. If the domain is registered with SiteGround, it can go along with the site transfer. www.siteground.com
• You can stay involved after handoff. SiteGround lets you remain a collaborator, which is ideal if you sell ongoing maintenance. www.siteground.com
• White-label option. GoGeek and Cloud plans provide white-label Site Tools, so clients can manage their sites without seeing SiteGround branding. www.siteground.comwww.siteground.com
• Easy migrations. Their WordPress Migrator handles moving existing WordPress sites, while qualifying agency partners can get white-glove migrations. www.siteground.com

What I'd choose

The particularly useful distinction is site ownership vs. hosting-plan ownership: SiteGround lets you hand a site to a client, but the hosting plan itself isn't transferred to another SiteGround user. www.siteground.com

One caveat: if your priority is having each client's domain and hosting cleanly owned by the client from day one, rather than moving ownership at handoff, I'd structure your accounts carefully. SiteGround's domain transfer process supports moving domains between SiteGround accounts, but standalone domain transfers require the receiving person to have a SiteGround account. www.siteground.com

Bottom line: for a small agency, SiteGround GoGeek is probably the sweet spot if you want to manage sites centrally and give clients a reasonably polished handoff experience. Their agency tooling is unusually well aligned with exactly this build → manage → handoff → maintain workflow. www.siteground.com

If you tell me roughly how many sites you manage (e.g. 10, 30, 100) and whether they're mostly WordPress, I can compare SiteGround against Cloudways, WP Engine, and GoDaddy specifically for agency economics and client transfers.

For a two-person agency managing client sites, I’d put SiteGround at the top of the list.

SiteGround Agency Hosting

Why SiteGround fits your workflow

• One dashboard for multiple client sites. You can manage sites centrally rather than maintaining a separate hosting workflow for every client. www.siteground.com
• Domains + hosting: SiteGround supports domain registration alongside its hosting, so you can keep the domain and site infrastructure together.
• Easy handoff: You can transfer a site's ownership to a client, including the site's files, databases, email accounts and SSL. If the domain is registered with SiteGround, it can be transferred as part of the process. www.siteground.com
• Collaborator access: Both members of your team can work on sites without sharing the account owner's credentials or billing information. www.siteground.com
• Client access: GoGeek and Cloud plans provide client/white-label access, useful if you want clients to have limited hosting access without exposing your agency account. www.siteground.com
• Agency/reseller features: SiteGround specifically supports white-label hosting, custom hosting packages, and transferring sites between clients/accounts. www.siteground.com
• WordPress migrations: Their free Migrator plugin makes moving existing WordPress sites relatively painless, with white-glove migration available to qualifying agency partners. www.siteground.com

What I'd choose

For your particular setup, GoGeek is probably the sweet spot if hosting is part of your agency's recurring service. You get the agency/client-access workflow without immediately jumping to a $100+/month Cloud plan. SiteGround currently describes GrowBig as suitable for managing client sites, while GoGeek/Cloud add the more extensive white-label/client capabilities. www.siteground.com

One important distinction: I'd keep domain ownership in the client's name/account whenever possible, even if you register/manage it through your agency workflow. That makes eventual offboarding much cleaner and avoids the classic "who actually owns the domain?" problem.

Runner-up: GoDaddy if domain registration is the absolute priority. Its agency program has client-management tools, commissions, and white-glove migrations, and domains can be transferred between GoDaddy accounts. www.godaddy.com But for actually building, managing, and handing off websites, I think SiteGround's agency tooling is better suited to a small web agency.

SiteGround Agency Program
GoDaddy Agency Partner Program

If you tell me roughly how many sites you manage (e.g. 10, 30, 100), whether they're mostly WordPress, and whether clients pay you for hosting, I can narrow this down to the best plan and estimate the monthly cost.

For a two-person agency managing client sites, I’d prioritize:

1. Client ownership handoff (easy transfer of domains/sites when a client leaves)
2. Multi-client management (separate accounts, permissions, billing)
3. Bundled domain registration + hosting
4. Reliable migrations/backups
5. White-label or reseller options if you bill clients monthly

My top picks:

My recommendation for your situation

Best overall setup: SiteGround or Hostinger + separate agency process

I would structure it like this:

• Create one agency account
• Register domains under client-owned accounts whenever possible (or use a reseller/agency structure)
• Host sites under your agency account only if you sell maintenance/hosting
• When a client leaves:
  • transfer the site
  • transfer domain ownership
  • remove your billing
  • hand over credentials cleanly

This avoids the common agency problem where dozens of client domains are trapped under one master account.

If you want the simplest “we manage everything” model

Pick Hostinger if your clients are mostly:

• small businesses
• brochure sites
• WordPress sites
• price-sensitive

Pick SiteGround if you want:

• fewer clients
• better support experience
• easier collaboration workflows

Pick Kinsta if your clients pay for premium managed WordPress and downtime is expensive. www.techradar.comwww.techradar.com

One alternative approach

Some agencies separate the two jobs:

• Domains: a registrar focused on domain management
• Hosting: a specialized host

That often scales better because domains are easier to transfer and clients retain ownership. Dedicated domain providers such as Namecheap emphasize straightforward transfers and domain management workflows. www.namecheap.com

For a two-person agency, I’d probably start with SiteGround if you want premium simplicity or Hostinger if you want margin and volume. cybernews.com

For a two-person agency managing client websites, I’d put SiteGround at the top of the list.

🥇 Best fit: SiteGround

It matches your workflow unusually well:

• One dashboard for multiple client sites — you can manage sites, users, resources, backups, etc. centrally. www.siteground.comworld.siteground.com
• Domain + hosting together — SiteGround offers domain registration alongside its hosting, so you don't have to maintain a separate registrar for every client. www.siteground.com
• Easy client handoff — you can transfer a site's ownership to a client, including its files, databases, email accounts, SSL, and associated domain. www.siteground.com
• You can stay involved after handoff — clients can become owners while you remain a collaborator, which is ideal for ongoing maintenance retainers. www.siteground.comworld.siteground.com
• White-label option — GoGeek and Cloud support white-label Site Tools, so clients don't necessarily have to see SiteGround branding. www.siteground.com
• Domain transfers between SiteGround accounts are built into the platform. www.siteground.com

For your size, I'd start with GrowBig if you're primarily building/managing sites yourselves. If you're actually selling hosting as part of your agency offering, GoGeek is more compelling because of the white-label/client-access features.

Runner-up: Cloudways

Cloudways is excellent if your priority is managed WordPress/cloud infrastructure rather than domain management. It offers agency-oriented team permissions, centralized site management, migrations, and the ability to transfer a server to a client's account. www.cloudways.com

The downside for your particular requirement: Cloudways isn't an all-in-one domain registrar/hosting solution. Domains and DNS are a separate part of the workflow. So you'd lose some of the convenience you're specifically asking for.

My recommendation

I'd choose SiteGround unless you have clients whose sites need substantially more infrastructure than typical WordPress/business sites.

One important operational point: when a client is the actual owner of a domain, make sure the registrant information is theirs, even if you're initially managing the domain from your agency account. SiteGround specifically notes that an internal domain transfer changes where the domain is managed but doesn't automatically make the receiving party the legal registrant. www.siteground.com

See SiteGround's agency hosting options

For a two-person web agency, I’d put SiteGround at the top of the list.

🥇 Best fit: SiteGround Agency Hosting

It matches your workflow unusually well:

• One dashboard for multiple client sites — useful when two people are managing everything.
• Collaborator accounts — give each team member access without sharing your main login or billing information. www.siteground.com
• Client handoff is built in — SiteGround specifically supports transferring a finished site to another client and transferring billing in one step. www.siteground.com
• White-label options — particularly useful if you want hosting to appear as part of your agency service.
• Domain registration + hosting — SiteGround's hosting plans include a free domain for eligible new registrations, making it possible to keep hosting and domains under the same provider. www.siteground.comwww.siteground.com
• WordPress migrations are straightforward, with a free Migrator plugin and, for qualifying agency partners, white-glove migration assistance. www.siteground.com
• Their GrowBig tier currently supports unlimited websites, while GoGeek adds more resources; the advertised introductory prices are $4.99/mo and $7.99/mo respectively, with higher renewal pricing. www.siteground.comwww.siteground.com

The big advantage for you: you can build/manage a client's site under your agency account, then when the client is ready to take ownership, hand the site and billing over without having to reconstruct the hosting setup elsewhere.

🥈 Worth considering: Cloudways Agency Hosting

Cloudways is stronger if your clients need more performance/scalability or you want cloud infrastructure rather than conventional managed hosting. It offers free migrations and lets you transfer a server to a client's account, including billing. www.cloudways.com

But there's a catch for your specific requirement: Cloudways isn't really an all-in-one domain registrar + hosting solution. You'd generally keep domain registration elsewhere and point DNS at Cloudways. support.cloudways.com

My recommendation

I'd choose SiteGround GoGeek for the two of you if most of your clients are small-business WordPress sites. If you're expecting dozens of sites, ecommerce, or unusually demanding applications, I'd revisit the Cloud tier or a more agency-oriented managed platform.

One caveat: I'd keep domain ownership in the client's name/account whenever practical, even if you manage it for them. That makes eventual offboarding much cleaner and avoids the agency becoming the bottleneck when a client wants to leave.

For a two-person agency managing client sites, I’d optimize for operational simplicity rather than the cheapest hosting. The ideal setup is:

• one dashboard for many sites
• domain registration + DNS control
• easy client ownership transfer when a client leaves
• staging/backups
• collaborator accounts (so you don’t share passwords)
• the ability to separate billing from client ownership

A few good fits:

wpemaillog.com

My recommendation for a 2-person shop

Option A — simplest all-in-one setup

• Use SiteGround for most brochure sites.
• Register domains there.
• Keep each client in their own account when possible, or use collaborator access.
• Transfer ownership at launch or when the client takes over.

This minimizes admin overhead.

Option B — more professional agency setup

• Use Cloudways or WP Engine for hosting.
• Use a dedicated registrar such as Namecheap or Porkbun for domains.
• Keep hosting, domains, and client billing clearly separated.

This is cleaner as you grow, but adds one more system.

What I would avoid

• Putting every client’s domain in your personal registrar account indefinitely.
• One shared hosting account with dozens of unrelated client sites.
• Giving clients your agency login and hoping they remember to change things later.

A practical agency workflow

1. Create the domain under the client’s legal/business email if possible.
2. Add your agency as a collaborator/admin.
3. Build and maintain the site.
4. Bill hosting/maintenance separately if you offer care plans.
5. Have a documented handoff process for domain and hosting transfers.

For a two-person agency, I’d probably choose SiteGround for simplicity or WP Engine + a separate registrar for a more premium WordPress workflow. wpemaillog.comwww.hostingadvice.com

If you tell me whether your sites are mostly WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, or custom builds, and roughly how many client sites you manage, I can narrow this down further.

For a two-person agency, I’d put SiteGround at the top of the list—especially if most of your client sites are WordPress.

My pick: SiteGround

It lines up unusually well with your workflow:

• Hosting + domain registration under one provider, so you don't have to stitch together a registrar and host.
• Agency-oriented management: manage multiple client sites from one account/dashboard.
• Easy client handoff: SiteGround explicitly supports transferring site ownership and billing in one step, while allowing you to remain a collaborator for ongoing maintenance. www.siteground.com
• Client access controls: clients can get their own limited access rather than you sharing credentials. www.siteground.comwww.hostinger.comwww.hostinger.com
• White-label/reseller capability: useful if hosting is part of your recurring agency revenue.
• Migrations: free WordPress migration tooling, with white-glove migrations available for qualifying agency partners. www.siteground.comwww.hostinger.comwww.hostinger.com

That last piece is particularly valuable for a two-person shop: build/manage → launch → transfer ownership/billing → stay on as collaborator is a much cleaner lifecycle than manually moving accounts around.

Two alternatives

Hostinger — worth considering if keeping costs low is the priority. It supports transferring both domain ownership between Hostinger accounts and WordPress site ownership to a client's account. www.hostinger.comwww.hostinger.com The catch is that its website-ownership transfer feature has plan restrictions, and it's currently unavailable on its Agency hosting plans. www.hostinger.comwww.hostinger.com

GoDaddy Pro — strongest if domains are a major part of your workflow. GoDaddy Pro lets you manage client products without sharing credentials, purchase products in client accounts, and perform site migrations from the Pro dashboard. www.godaddy.com Domains can also be transferred directly between GoDaddy accounts while retaining DNS settings. help-center-east.dc-aws.godaddy.com I'd choose it more for the domain/client-account ecosystem than for hosting quality alone.

What I'd do in your shoes

For your specific requirement, SiteGround is the one I'd trial first. Its agency program is explicitly designed for small teams, including agencies that bundle hosting into maintenance agreements, and it supports white-label hosting and client ownership transfers. www.siteground.comwww.hostinger.comwww.hostinger.com

One important operational recommendation: keep the client as the legal registrant/owner of their domain even if you manage it. That makes eventual offboarding much cleaner and avoids the domain becoming entangled with your agency account. GoDaddy itself recommends this model for agencies. www.godaddy.com

For a two-person agency, I’d prioritize client/account management and clean transfers over squeezing out the lowest hosting price.

My recommendation: hosting.com (formerly A2 Hosting)

Its agency program is particularly well aligned with your workflow: you can add clients/team members with delegated access, transfer sites between your account and a client’s account, and migrate new client sites in for free. Billing can also stay with you or be handed to the client. hosting.com

hosting.com Agency Hosting

Why I'd choose it for you:

• Easy client handoff: transfer a completed site to the client's account rather than rebuilding/migrating it.
• Delegated access: clients can get access without you sharing your master credentials.
• Free migrations: useful when taking over existing client sites.
• Centralized management: good fit when two people are maintaining a portfolio.
• Flexible billing: you can keep hosting as a recurring agency service or hand it over when a client leaves.
• Independent 2026 reviews also specifically identify hosting.com/A2 as an agency-oriented option, although its exact plan structure has changed following the rebrand. www.forbes.com

Two alternatives worth considering

20i — I'd look at this if you want a more traditional reseller/white-label hosting setup. Its reseller platform emphasizes customer management and is rated highly for ease of use; the main catch is that domains generally need to be registered through 20i. www.forbes.com

InMotion Hosting — a strong choice if migration support and conventional reseller hosting matter most. Current 2026 comparisons specifically highlight it for handling large numbers of migrations. www.forbes.com

One important distinction

If by "domain registration bundled with hosting" you mean you want to register/manage all client domains from the same agency dashboard, I'd lean toward 20i rather than hosting.com. If you mean hosting + domain in one client-friendly account with exceptionally easy site handoff, I'd choose hosting.com.

For a two-person shop, I'd also avoid putting every client's domain under a single agency-owned registrar account without a clean ownership/transfer process. Ideally, each client remains the legal owner while you retain delegated management access.

For a two-person agency managing client websites, I’d shortlist these:

🥇 SiteGround — best overall fit

This is the one I’d choose if easy client handoff is a major priority.

• Manage multiple client sites from one account.
• Add your partner as a collaborator without giving them billing access.
• Clients can get their own restricted/white-label access.
• You can transfer a site to a client in a few clicks, and SiteGround says the transfer can include the site's files, databases, email accounts and SSL. www.siteground.comwww.siteground.com
• If you registered the domain through SiteGround, the domain can be transferred along with the site. www.siteground.comwww.siteground.com
• Agency plans offer white-label hosting, custom packages and the ability to transfer billing when handing off a site. www.siteground.com
• Their WordPress migration tooling makes bringing existing client sites over relatively painless. www.siteground.com

Why it fits your agency: You can build/manage a site under your agency account, then hand the whole thing to the client without turning migration into a technical project.

🥈 Hostinger — best value

Hostinger's Agency plans are attractive if you're trying to keep hosting costs down while managing a larger number of sites.

• Agency plans support up to 200 websites, with site isolation and client/team access controls. support.hostinger.com
• Domains can be registered alongside hosting, and domains can be moved between Hostinger accounts for free. www.hostinger.com
• External-site migrations are supported, including WordPress, with migration assistance. support.hostinger.com
• However, there's an important caveat: Agency-plan site ownership transfers aren't currently available in the same easy way as SiteGround's. Hostinger's documentation says Agency-to-other-account moves may require manual migration. www.hostinger.com

Why I'd rank it second: great economics and agency features, but your particular requirement—easy client transfers—makes SiteGround considerably cleaner.

My recommendation

I'd go with SiteGround, particularly if your business model is “we build/manage the site, then the client owns it but may keep us on as a collaborator.” Its ownership-transfer workflow is unusually well aligned with that model. www.siteground.comwww.siteground.com

One thing I'd establish from day one: register every client's domain in the client's legal name/account, even if you're managing it for them. That makes eventual separation much cleaner and avoids a messy domain-ownership situation.

For a two-person agency, SiteGround would be my first choice—especially if most of your client sites are WordPress.

Why SiteGround fits your workflow

• Hosting + domains in one place: SiteGround lets you register domains directly during hosting setup, and its current hosting plans include a free domain for eligible plans/terms. www.siteground.com
• Built for agencies: You can manage multiple client sites from one account, add your second team member as a collaborator, and give clients restricted access without exposing your billing information. www.siteground.com
• Excellent handoff workflow: SiteGround specifically supports transferring a finished site from your agency to the client, including transferring billing, rather than forcing you to manually reconstruct the account. www.siteground.com
• White-label option: On GoGeek/Cloud, you can provide clients with white-label Site Tools access, which is useful if hosting is part of your agency's recurring service. www.siteground.com
• Migrations are easy: Its WordPress Migrator handles normal moves, with white-glove migration available to qualifying agency partners. www.siteground.com
• You can start small: GrowBig currently supports unlimited websites and is probably the sensible starting point for a two-person shop; move to Cloud when you need more isolation/resources/custom client packages. www.siteground.com

One alternative worth considering

Hostinger is attractive if keeping costs down is the priority. It has agency hosting, domain management, client/team access, and free domain transfers under eligible plans. www.hostinger.com

However, there's an important wrinkle: Hostinger's website ownership transfer is currently unavailable on Agency hosting plans. Moving sites between Agency accounts can require manual migration, so it's less elegant for your particular "build → manage → hand off to client" workflow. www.hostinger.com

I would therefore rank them:

I wouldn't choose Cloudways for this specific requirement: its agency tooling and client/server transfers are good, but Cloudways explicitly doesn't sell domains, so you'd still need a separate registrar. support.cloudways.com

Bottom line: use SiteGround Agency/GrowBig as the default if you want a simple system where your agency owns/manages sites initially and can cleanly hand them over later. If hosting is a significant recurring revenue stream for you, look at SiteGround's agency/white-label Cloud offering rather than treating each client as a separate hosting setup.

For a two-person agency managing client sites, I’d put 20i at the top of the list.

🥇 Best fit: 20i

20i is unusually well matched to your workflow because it combines reseller hosting + domain registration + client management + migrations rather than making you stitch those together.

• Domains and hosting under one account: their reseller platform includes full domain management—DNS, nameservers, privacy, transfers, etc.—and resellers get domain discounts. www.20i.com
• Easy client transfers: you can transfer a hosting package or domain to another 20i customer directly from the My20i dashboard. That's particularly useful when a client leaves you and needs to take ownership. docs.20i.com
• Very good migration tooling: their Migration Centre can move sites, databases and email in batches, with unlimited migrations and no migration fee. www.20i.com
• Agency-friendly management: white-label customer-facing controls, team permissions, support tickets and client/invoice management are built into the reseller platform. www.20i.com
• Automation: HostShop provides hosting automation/billing, while WHMCS is available if you prefer that ecosystem. www.20i.com

That last point is important for a two-person shop: you don't want hosting administration to become a third employee.

🥈 Strong alternative: SiteGround

SiteGround Agency Hosting is worth considering if your clients are predominantly WordPress sites and you care more about a polished managed-hosting experience than reseller-style domain/hosting administration.

Its agency platform lets you manage multiple sites, give clients controlled access, collaborate with another team member, and—especially relevant to you—transfer a site and its billing to another client in one step. www.siteground.com

The distinction I'd make:

My pick for you: 20i. If your business model is "we host and manage 10–50+ client sites and occasionally hand sites/domains back to clients," its transfer and reseller tooling is a particularly strong fit. Forbes' 2026 reseller-hosting review also puts 20i at the top for ease of use, specifically highlighting its customer-management dashboard. www.forbes.com

One thing I'd decide before migrating anything: whether you want clients to own their domains in their own 20i accounts, or whether your agency will remain the registrar and simply transfer hosting when a client leaves. That choice affects your billing, renewals, and offboarding workflow quite a bit.

For a two-person agency managing multiple client sites, I’d put 20i at the top of your list.

Why 20i fits your setup

• Hosting + domains in one system. Its reseller platform includes a domain-reseller program, with discounted registration/renewal pricing and support for hundreds of TLDs. www.20i.com
• Excellent client migration workflow. 20i's Migration Center can automatically move sites, databases, and email from cPanel/WHM, Plesk, DirectAdmin, or FTP/SFTP. Migrations are unlimited and free, which is particularly useful when you're inheriting existing client sites. www.20i.com
• Good agency/client separation. You get your own agency/reseller account, while clients can have their own customer-facing control panel. 20i also supports white-label branding and private nameservers. www.20i.comwww.20i.com
• Easy handoff if a client leaves. 20i specifically supports transferring hosting packages and domains between 20i customers through My20i. docs.20i.com
• Billing can be automated. HostShop is included free with reseller hosting, or you can use WHMCS/API if you want more sophisticated automation. www.20i.com
• Built for agencies rather than just individual sites. Their agency offering explicitly provides multi-client management and permissions so two people can divide administrative responsibilities. www.20i.comwww.20i.com

The main alternative

InMotion Hosting is worth considering if you strongly prefer the traditional cPanel + WHM ecosystem. It has white-label reseller hosting, WHMCS availability, and migration assistance, but the overall setup is more pieced together than 20i's agency-oriented platform. www.forbes.com

My pick: 20i Reseller Hosting. For two people, the combination of centralized client management, domain registration, white-labeling, automated migrations, and straightforward client handoffs is unusually well matched to your workflow.

One caveat: if your clients expect to own/control their domains directly from day one, I'd establish a clear policy for whether your agency or the client is the registrar account holder. 20i supports both transferring domains into the platform and leaving domains at their existing registrar while pointing DNS at 20i. docs.20i.com
