knowledgebase yet another how to choose a web host guide knowledgebase yet another how to choose a web host guide by thishosting rocks updated january 13 2019 how many guides like these are out there already nevermind that we ll try and make our guide special if you don t really want to read all of this just contact us and we ll help you pick the right hosting for you before you actually start reading this guide why follow our web hosting guide yes there are a lot of choosing guides out there but why ours what makes our guide so special this guide is not sponsored by a web hosting company if it was we would just force their criteria and their web hosting services like some do comes from years of bad experience we ve gone through a lot of hosts a lot of bad hosts actually why did we choose those bad hosts in the first place well because we followed some other bad web hosting guides that are out there that s one of the main reasons why we wanted to write this actually helpful and honest guide we actually want to help you we are not employed by anyone we are doing this with our money out of our pockets and we are doing it for fun nobody forces us to write this the world has gone to s t where are all the nice people what has happened to all of them well we are here so now let s start with the actual guide on how to choose your host choose the right type of hosting for you how many terms have you seen so far shared cloud vps managed etc if you are a beginner this can be overwhelming so we ll quickly go through all hosting types and who they are for shared web hosting good for beginners with simple sites that don t get a lot of traffic it s easy to use too as every shared hosting provider offers a control panel too reseller hosting good for web designers smaller agencies and everyone that needs to host more than one website on more than one account you are basically reselling the hosting space as the name suggests to your clients it s still the same as a shared hosting plan but more powerful and with the option of more accounts vps hosting if you have a website that gets a lot of visitors or if you have some app that has special requirements like a nodejs app vps hosting isolates you from other people on the host and you ll have full access and control over your server good for experimenting and learning linux too cloud hosting basically the same as vps hosting for a beginner they are the same anyway so just go with a vps since it s cheaper cloud hosting is more easily scalable and usually there are more billing options billing per hour per usage etc on a cloud theoretically you should not have any downtime as a cloud is fully redundant and load balanced it s usually more expensive than a vps some web hosting companies use the term cloud as a marketing term so they may sell you a vps and call it a cloud dedicated hosting our guess is you wouldn t be reading this guide if you need a dedicated server but anyway dedicated hosting is where you buy an actual computer host somewhere in a data center and you completely own it you don t share it with anybody and you get its full potential and capabilities dedicated servers are great for enterprises and major popular websites fully semi un managed hosting if it s fully managed it just means that the hosting provider will manage your server for you they ll do the maintenance work they ll monitor your server they ll help you install software they ll do all the server work if it s semi managed it means that they ll do most of the major work like kernel updates but they would not install software for you unmanaged means that they won t do anything for you you ll have to do it all by yourself beginners should go with fully managed hosting a big misconception about managed hosting providers is that they have to be expensive there are actually a lot of cheap managed hosting providers ssd or hdd go with ssd always most of the hosts today offer ssd hosting anyway so it shouldn t be a problem solid state drives are more powerful more reliable and faster than hard disk drives the only reason why you would go with hdd is if you don t need your website to be faster or if you are just experimenting hdd should be cheaper appearing first on google does not mean the host is good the first thing everyone does when looking for a host is naturally googling but the web hosting market is over saturated with big corporations that spend a lot on marketing including seo so the results you see may not be that natural so the first results you ll get are probably not right for you you should still do your research and use google but not to find an actual hosting provider use it to find reviews or other mentions of the company you ve previously found somewhere else check the real reviews of course you should always check the reviews of a hosting provider be careful of the fake sponsored reviews though how can you spot a fake review it s a top 10 list of eig hosts only it s a review sponsored by the hosting provider itself sponsored reviews are always going to be positive even if they claim they are unbiased it s a user submitted review site with thousands of fake probably submitted by a bot reviews reviewers with no proof of identity a link to a social profile a profile image link to the website they host etc it s a random testimonial on their website no hosting provider would post a negative review on their own website so just skip those it s a non reviewing review what you ask well we ve actually lol d on some of those reviews out there they claim it s a review but it s actually a bunch of neutral statements going over a hosting provider s offers basically just here s what they offer here are a bunch of screenshots here s something copied from their website and just adding a score that s not a review there are no negative sides cons is it a pros and cons list with no cons it s fake nobody s perfect not even the great web hosting companies if you don t spot a con or a negative statement the review is probably sponsored by the hosting provider it s unintentionally unhelpful two differently skilled web developers will have different impressions over a hosting provider what if a total beginner ranks a hosting provider as great but hasn t even properly tested the host someone may leave a review about the hosting provider s support but it may happen that you don t actually need support so how useful is that review to you it may be real but not really useful so where can you actually find real reviews it s difficult try looking at twitter facebook or google the reviews are usually real on social media look for reviews on forums and online communities like reddit and webhostingtalk search our website and we may have a review on the hosting provider you are looking at what kind of support do you need do you need 24 7 support do you need support over the phone how important are response times to you for a beginner a host with 24 7 support is a must even for non beginners the support team of a hosting provider always comes in handy check the scope of their support too what will they do and what won t they do is the support actually good and knowledgeable you can always do a free trial get the hosting you want and if it doesn t work for you just ask for your money back carefully read their tos privacy policy service level agreement usually there s a lot of stuff they don t want you to know every hosting provider has a different tos pp and sla so please check them carefully they are a bit lengthy so you can try contacting their sales department and ask a lot of questions yourself you can also use the search function and try and find something based on keywords like bandwidth terminated unlimited etc don t go with new not yet a year old hosting companies we always prefer legit businesses with years of experience we don t want any new fresh newbies that don t know what they are doing and may close shop any minute without prior notice everyone can become a hosting company nowadays everyone can be a reseller check the domain s whois data and check if the business is legit how many years have they been working so far if it s a new hosting provider chances are they may not be there for long however there are some legit new hosting companies they are usually by someone who has already offered something else before and now they just extend their services with web hosting there s no unlimited bandwidth storage and 100 uptime in cases where someone advertises unlimited anything or 100 uptime carefully read their tos sla there s no such thing is unlimited they will probably overcharge you or turn off your server after they notice an increase in bandwidth or storage usage more expensive hosting plans may however offer unmetered bandwidth which may be legit there is no such thing as 100 uptime nobody has 100 uptime not even google com however hosts that have a 100 uptime guarantee will usually reimburse you for every second minute hour of downtime watch out for overselling and hidden fees a fully managed dedicated server for 3 a year why yes please i ll have one oh i need to pay a 600 setup fee nevermind watch out for hidden fees usually they are setup fees but they may have a fee for any other service like their control panel or their 24 7 support watch out for overselling too do you really need that website builder do you really need that big of a hosting plan surely you can go without that let s encrypt addon and set up the ssl yourself always check your cart before proceeding to checkout check their actual month to month prices hosts usually advertise a price like starts from 0 01 mo and it is actually true the hosting plan may start at 1 cent per month but the next month s bill would be about 30 mo for a shared hosting plan always check the renewal price another trick that hosting companies do is a from 1 mo forgetting to mention that it s that low price only if you pay for a whole year or more so it s not really a monthly price but rather a 12 per year price but wait there s more based on our guide you may think that choosing a hosting provider is rocket science well it may seem that way but it s actually not we can help you pick the right host for you just leave a comment below or contact us with your requirements and needs
