The best web hosting for healthcare

Healthcare hosting splits in two. If your site stores patient data you need a signed BAA and HIPAA ready infrastructure; if it is a marketing site with no patient data, a secure mainstream host is fine. We weighted HIPAA readiness, security, uptime and support, then ranked the five that fit best.
