Which hosting to choose for yourself or your business.
Let's look at this issue by analyzing the current market for hosting and servers using my ten years of experience. server settings and project migrations.
In this article I will output best hosting provider and top 3 that you should bypass.
And I will also explain why despite your choice of hosting, to you need cloudflare.
best hosting
Unambiguously best hosting this, the Russian registrar: REG.RU
During my career, I have tried more than 20 web hostsOf course, each has its pros and cons, but one big disadvantage that over 95% web hosts have in common is downsizing, we pay more for less.
Imagine what you found profitable server or top hosting at a reasonable price at 1$ / m, today it is a rarity even with limited traffic, but here hosting without limits for 1$.
It would seem that what could go wrong ..... I loaded the site, paid for 3 years in advance, so that otherwise the price would be 3$, and I forgot.
Weeks pass, and messages come to your mail, they say, you have exceeded the load on the CPU or more popular type of scam, you send a lot of emails, send us proof that this is not spam, etc., or switch to a new tariff ...
And this is just one of a dozen possible options.
But there is web hosts which are marked exceeded the load on the CPU will simply delete your site.
How REG.RU better
Prices REG.RU more than relevant, not to mention the domain names that you can buy for a penny, or receive as a gift when ordering other services. During my practice, I have found more than once profitable terms on other providers, however, Iza's pitfalls that I described above, always returned to REG
What to choose, server or hosting?
In 95% cases, I advise the server, namely the cloud one, do not regret to pay ~20$ for server setup freelancer or me :), he will serve you faithfully all your life. You will not have any limits on the number of databases, sites, etc. and what is more important you can set up automated scripts , for example parsers of goods with a mark-up, at the server level, not to mention installing any linux distributions, such as htaccess parsers and many others useful add-ons for your site.
On the registrar cloud server costs from 200 rubles.
However, if you have a Ledding Page, don't bother, get the cheapest hosting you can find.
Top 3 bad hosts
- Go daddy
- WP Engine
- Bluehost®
- WP Engine
I chose these 3 because they are the most popular now, their advertising everywhere and I want to attract people to give them up. And that's why:
This is nothing short of complete divorce for money, in addition to their cost, they work out your money for 5%, and in 95% cases, the server gives back the cache, which can only be disabled bearded programmer, however, in this case, the site will exceed the load and instead of the site you will take error 502.
Out of the box, you even have cookies will not work on the site, for authorized users only.
Specified top install plugins on your website, and other files that will cut its functionality. You cannot disable or delete them.
They just decided to break the buttons for people Ctrl + F5 and Cmd + Option + E.
But what about Bluehost, You don't need Cmd + Option + E , its panel will not open even in safari. On my reproaches about illiteracy in development they just decided to remain silent.
Why cloudflare is needed
Cloudflare is DNS hosting, and if it's easier here you can easily manage your domain name.
Thanks to cloudflare, you will forget about the DNS update interval and will be able to bind a domain to another server no expectations. Moreover, cloudflare will provide you with:
1) Cache
2) top protection against any kind of attacks
3) Dynamic site optimization
4) Free SSL certificate
5) Traffic monitoring and management, as well as a dozen other very useful functions, and most importantly is free.
I'm not just writing about cloudflare in this article, its main feature is that cloudflare gives the site from the server of a strange visitor. Thanks to what you shouldn't worry about server location... If your the server is located in Russia and, a visitor from the United States, the site will open with the IP of the United States.
