The host is also called server, space, foreign called hosting, server, instance. server is the foreign trade independent station build one of the most important factors, it directly determines the stability of the site, page speed and even Google SEO rankings.

According to our experience, most of the website problems are caused by the quality of the server, and many website operations need to enter the server administration background. Google speed test sometimes prompts "Please shorten the initial server response time".

Server quality also affects SEO, poor quality servers have long response times and slow cards. The speed at which crawlers such as Google crawl the data will be affected, resulting in slow or even no update/inclusion of website content. It can also lead to failing mobile device suitability tests.

Many customers use our tutorials and plug-ins to optimize the speed of the site, Google speed score has been greatly improved. However, some of the site score is stuck there on not go, we analyzed and found that their web server response time is too long ↓. The best cure is to directly replace the server with a better quality.

Google's official about long server response timesaccount for↓.

Some bloggers will mention that using a CDN can improve the server response time, which is not a cure for the symptoms. Some resources on the webpage always need to be fetched from the server, and some operations and content fetching will also go back to the source.

Most people buy foreign trade host is to listen to others or read some articles, but most bloggers only say the advantages do not mention the shortcomings, and so readers will buy the server back only to find that it is not suitable for their own site.

Let's start.Find out what shared/web hosting and VPS hosting are.

What is shared/virtual hosting (server)?

Shared hosting (shared hosting), also known as virtual host (server), splits a standalone server into many shared servers. Many shared servers share a common ip address, CPU, memory, disk, etc. (so shared hosting generally does not list the parameters of the server configuration).Shared hosts can affect each other's websites, reducing performance, speed, security, and more.

Shared hosting is similar to a shared room, where each person has a bed and shares the living room, toilet, washing machine etc. Therefore, shared hosting is the cheapest hosting on the market, and the performance is also the worst. In order to equalize the performance and resources of each shared server, hosting merchants will set various restrictions, such as limiting CPU usage, disk read/write rate, number of websites, monthly visits, etc. Excess will prompt an upgrade package.

Shared web hosting is usually very slow, and businesses will try to maximize profits by cramming as many customer websites as possible into the same server. This can lead to insufficient resource allocation and websites grabbing resources from each other, resulting in slower website speeds, lagging, and an increased risk of cybersecurity attacks.

Pros:

1. Good service with online customer service, free website relocation and other services;
2. Free regular automatic backup function, out of the problem can be a key to restore;
3. Generally have a free enterprise mailbox, but the arrival rate of sending low general into the junk mailbox, do not recommend using;
4. Usually give away a year of free domain names, but the renewal price is much higher, the overall calculation is better than going to theNamesiloRegistration is expensive;
5. Pre-deployed server environment (LNMP, LAMP, etc.), out-of-the-box, suitable for newcomers;
6. The servers are optimized for stability, speed, etc. and are generally good, such as Siteground;

Drawbacks:

1. Sharing ip addresses, CPU, memory, etc. with other people's websites. Speed and SEO results are difficult to optimize.
2. Limit CPU performance, disk read/write rate, monthly visits, etc. Excess requires package upgrade.
3. Better service and more features, so the price is 1-3 times higher than VPS hosting with the same configuration;
4. There are many restrictions in all aspects, unlike VPS where you can toss and install various extensions and applications;
5. The routes are deep, with all sorts of schemes to get customers to upgrade their packages and more than 2 times the renewal price;
6. It is usually a yearly fee, which is financially stressful, and there are no refunds if you return the machine in the middle of the year;

Shared hosting is the main target customers are white, because TAs do not have the technology to configure the server and so do not want to spend time and energy to get. Although the shared hosting is expensive, but bought immediately can be used, there is a key recovery function with artificial customer service, perfect cut white pain points.

Profit-seeking is the nature of capital, shared hosting can not be avoided over-sale, be limited performance, etc., is not suitable for building Elementor, Woocommerce and other high performance requirements of the site, is not suitable for use to do the need for SEO optimization of the site.

The vast majority of foreign trade people do not know how to build a website will buy SiteGround or Hostinger server, reputation, publicity speed is good, the operation of the proposed automatic backup and so on. Foreign trade sites are not optimized generally not much access, so do not feel the effect of shared hosting CPU, disk limitations. Material God SAM also recommended SiteGround server.

In fact, a better choice is to buy a VPS server (Dedicated Hosting), install Pagoda Panel and WordPress, better performance and speed, lower price! Material God SAM said VPS server is difficult to configure, the vast majority of white foreign trade people can not get it right, so he did not recommend much.

We wrote aVultr server hands-on building tutorials", each step is accompanied by detailed graphic explanations, white people can also configure and optimize the VPS server + install WordPress in 30 minutes, the site effect is not worse than SiteGround, and through our invitation link to register to enjoy free technical guidance / Q&A.

What is VPS hosting?

VPS (Virtual Private Server)VPS hosting refers to dedicated hosting/server, where a merchant splits a server into a number of virtual private servers (VPS). Unlike shared hosting, each VPS host is assigned a separate IP address, separate operating system, separate space, separate memory, separate CPU, separate bandwidth, etc. The servers are completely independent of each other. The servers are completely independent of each other and are not affected by each other, and there are no limitations on CPU performance, disk read/write rates, and so on.

VPS hosting vendors usually only give a barebones machine, no management panel and environment installed, the buyer needs to build their own environment, setup, optimization and so on. Customer service is also only responsible for some basic maintenance, does not provide technical support maintenance and other services, so the vast majority of server problems encountered need to deal with their own, white persuasion.

If you don't know how to configure the server, you can go to Taobao and spend a few dollars to find someone to get it right, and install WordPress. if through our "TheVultr Purchase TutorialWhen you purchase a VPS server, we provide free guidance on configuring the server environment, optimizing settings, and so on.

Pros:

1. Independent ip, independent environment, so that the search engine faster and more friendly to crawl > indexing > inclusion, SEO better;
2. Better performance, more stability, more speed. Independent CPU, memory, disk, no limitations on read/write rates and such;
3. Great price, half the price of Cloudways, less than Kinsta 1/4 Price;
4. Have more control, scalable and can build many features/applications;
5. Hourly billing, monthly deductions, renewals at the same price, no financial pressure.

Drawbacks:

1. You need to deploy your own environment (LNMP, etc.), build your own features, optimize your server, and the white guy is discouraged from doing so;
2. There is no online customer service (so the VPS price is lower), problems can only check the documents or submit a work order to contact customer service;
3. Free enterprise email and automatic backup services are not provided and need to be installed by yourself;
4. If you don't know how to optimize or something like that, a low-configuration VPS may not run smoothly.

Managed VPS Hosting

VPS Everything is good, is the need to understand the technical do-it-yourself installation system, environment configuration parameters, etc., and is not suitable for white people. However, if the website performance and speed requirements are high, do not want to use shared hosting, do not know how to optimize the technology VPS how to do? This situation is suitable for the purchase ofManaged VPS HostingThe

Managed VPS hosting is simply a third-party company to rent a standalone VPS server, their own deployment of the environment to add features, optimize the speed and security, etc., and then leased to the outside world VPS hosting (not shared hosting), to provide a full range of 7 × 24 hours of comprehensive service support.

The benefit of hosted VPS is that it combines all the advantages of both VPS servers and shared servers, providing unparalleled speed, stability and human service. It is especially suitable for cross-border e-commerce sites as well as high-traffic sites, and is preferred by high-end users/large websites. The only drawback is that the price is double or even more expensive than a regular VPS with the same configuration.

Kinsta(math.) genus Cloudways etc. are among the first tier of quality managed VPS hosting merchants. Managed hosting is just too expensive, Kinsta to have a website that runs smoothly and fast a month(say the) leastCloudways' 2H4G option is also $54 a month. If you're a dirtbag, you'd be better off with a managed VPS hosting.We commoners just can't afford it.

LiteSpeed Hosting

LiteSpeed Servers have been getting hotter and hotter over the years (especially Hostinger), and many bloggers recommend it, so it's singled out.LiteSpeed is similar to Apache and Nginx, and is a server software name.

The LiteSpeed hosts that everyone is talking about are actually hosts with LiteSpeed software installed, basicallyshared hostingYou can also rent a VPS host and install the open source version of LiteSpeed software to become a LiteSpeed host. You can also rent a VPS host to install the open source version of the LiteSpeed software into a LiteSpeed host, but the speed is not as good as renting a genuine LiteSpeed host.

Compared with Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed takes up the least CPU, better performance, faster, better security, deep optimization of WordPress. Apache, Nginx is an open source free version, you can feel free to use it. LiteSpeed is a commercial software, you need to pay for the purchase of the price is very expensive!

LiteSpeed has a free version called OpenLiteSpeed, the features and performance are not as good as LiteSpeed. but still a little faster than Apache, Nginx. Because it is very expensive, the LiteSpeed servers sold on the market are basicallyshared hostingThe

Because shared hosting allows you to install many sites, spreading them out costs significantly less, and using LiteSpeed as a gimmick also boosts sales.

Vultr also hasOpenLiteSpeed WordPress hosting, interested click to viewVultr Purchase and Registration TutorialThe

Among the many LiteSpeed servers, the most "famous" is Hostinger. "Famous" has two meanings, one is the most well-known and well-known, and the other is the reputation and hosting is not good to be scolded out of flowers. For more details, please refer to the following Hostinger hosting introduction.

Don't go overboard with LiteSpeed servers, they are theoretically faster and can handle more concurrency, but for the vast majority ofsmall and medium-sizedFor websites it's about as fast as Nginx. And LiteSpeed requires very specialized configuration, using specialized caching plug-ins and CDNs, with many limitations.

Nginx compatibility (such as firewalls) and stability is much better, more mature, is still the mainstream server system. It is recommended to build small and medium-sized websites using Nginx, build a website group someone feedback using Nginx server to open thefastcgi_cache cacheFaster than LiteSpeed.

Updated 2024.03.03:LiteSpeed servers need to use special caching plug-ins and specific CDN, speed optimization is limited. A customer rented LiteSpeed server, no matter how to optimize the speed is not ideal, change to Linux server using our regular optimization program immediately optimized to 0.7 seconds (computer side, Google test).

Conclusion: Shared hosting price is high, poor performance, ease of use is good with manual service, suitable for small white users transitional use. Managed VPS is good in all aspects, the price is too high, the tycoon to buy it, civilian detour.LiteSpeed host compatibility is not good enough, difficult to use, small and medium-sized sites can not play its speed advantage is very chicken rib.

For the vast majority of foreign trade people, independent VPS host is currently the most appropriate choice for foreign trade station building. Cost-effective, good performance and speed, build a station preferred, recommended to register the U.S. Vultr high-performance VPS server. The following is a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the major mainstream hosts / servers to help you further understand the situation of the major hosts.

Linode(semi-recommended)

VPS hosting, old and big, used to be the server one, the advantage is that it runs super stable, many technicians use it. It is one of the most conscientious server merchants, the server has been playing stable for so many years, support for refunds within 7 days.

Linode is a very good host that is stable. It's just not as good as Vultr in terms of performance, speed and flexibility.The

Then DigitalOcean was born with low-priced high-performance servers that knocked down server prices, and Linode prices came down. Then Vultr appeared with high-frequency servers to challenge DigitalOcean, and as a result, Linode prices were knocked down again.

Now Linode 1G1H VPS hosting price is as low as $5/month, while maintaining high performance.Linode is a very good hosting, and it is also recommended by Mizuno in his personal blog.Diamo started out using Linode to build the site, and it was a good experience in all aspects of using it, nothing wrong with it.The website data will be automatically backed up before the server is deleted in arrears, and the server can be restored by backup even if it is deleted, which is super considerate.

We build stations using the customer's own server, because it does not support payment methods such as Alipay, and binding credit card can not be unbundled for many customers is very inconvenient; coupled with the connection of SMTP to send mail port 465 default closure, the need to submit a work order + set up rdns contact customer service in order to open a bit of a hassle, so now we do not take the initiative to recommend that our customers use.

On February 16, 2022, Akamai acquired Linode for $900 million, with the goal of integrating Linode's cloud servers to enhance its competitiveness. Akamai's main business is CDN, which is mainly oriented towards large enterprise customers, so hopefully this acquisition won't have a bad impact on Linode's small- and medium-sized user sites.

UPDATE: Akamai Linode has adjusted its product prices starting April 1, 2023, with all products except Nanode plans increasing in price by 201 TP3 T. Excluding these undesirable factors, Linode is still a very good server, and is worth checking out.

DigitalOcean(Not recommended)

The world's fourth largest VPS hosting business, hosting and Linode as good as the industry conscience, excellent performance, stability, support within 7 days refund. Performance and cost-effective and Linode, slightly worse than Vultr (from the well-known foreign blogger evaluation).Does not support WeChat, Alipay payment, no DDOS protection, and Linode the same not open ladder software access speed is not very good. Its affiliate marketing commissions can not be withdrawn so few domestic bloggers to publicize their machines.

In FY21, Premium HF NVME SSD hosting ($6/month) was launched to benchmark Vultr's HF NVME hosting ($6/month). Some speed bulls found that Vultr's performance and response time are better after comparison test. DOThe acquisition of Cloudways removed Linode and Vultr servers, and the low price option kept only the in-house VPS, which was cursed by many users.

DigitalOcean is a good host, just compared to the performance and speed is not as good as Vultr, choose the best choice so do not recommend DigitalOcean!The

Vultr(Recommended)

VPS server, by far the most cost-effective high-main frequency NVME hosting. One of the most favorite servers used by nationals to build websites.Multiple awards for best VPS under $10. 1G1H SSD Regular performance VPS hosting price $5/month, 1G1H NVME High performance VPS hosting $6/month. It has grown rapidly over the years and its total number of servers has exceeded Linode and DigitalOcean combined.

We recommend signing up for Vultr because of the following advantages over servers like Linode:

1. Servers use super-fast NVMe drives that are faster than SSD drivesMany times faster..;
2. There are numerous packages with various configurations and software and systems;
3. The snapshot backup feature is easy to use and very inexpensive;
4. Paypal payment is accepted;
5. Support refund (return the machine) at any time, payment through paypal only support refund within 90 days;
6. Good performance, fast, cost effective, good reputation;
7. Direct access to the continent without opening the ladder software can be speedy;
8. SSL port 465 for sending mail is not closed;
9. It's easy to upgrade your configuration with one click, and you can upgrade your hard disk space and bandwidth individually;

Vultr has also launched OpenLiteSpeed WordPress hosting, pictured below, which is faster than regular hosting.

Diamo now build foreign trade website default use Vultr, stable, high-speed, trouble-free. Numerous customers website in Vultr running well, no problems, highly recommended for everyone to use!The

The graph below shows the GTmetrix results for one of our clients' websites, which uses a Vultr 1G1H HF server+. Astra ProTopics + Elementor ProBuild. After our speed optimization the home page is fully loaded in 0.6 seconds and the first screen content is displayed in 0.4 seconds, which is very fast.

Cloudways(semi-recommended)

Many years ago Xiaodi I shopped Taiwanese bloggersWebmasterI saw this server introduced on the website, Cloudways wasn't very hot at that time. It had really good speeds, gave good commissions and had a good reputation later on more and more bloggers recommended it.

You can see many users praising it in the Facebook hosting community, and it is recommended by more than a few bloggers abroad. It has one commendable point, if you rent a long-term server at one time you can temporarily withdraw, it will return the money for the remaining time, and the renewal fee to maintain the original price. Only those who are confident enough in their hosts and services dare to make such a promise.

Cloudways doesn't have its own servers, it rents the server rooms of other companies (below) and optimizes them before renting them out to the public, which is equivalent to a second-hand landlord. Although it is a second-hand landlord, the server's performance, memory and so on are exclusive and not limited. Moreover, the original server has been optimized by them.In performance, safety, speedThere is a significant improvement in the aspect. Coupled with quality services, it is very suitable for building cross-border e-commerce independent websites.

The same Vultr server to build the site after we optimize the site speed can go to 0.7 seconds or so, if you use Cloudways server speed directly to 0.5 seconds or so, and Google speed mobile speed test score directly to 95 points or so.

The development of things has a process, just like people and baby to the prime of life and then to the twilight of the server brand is the same. SiteGround has begun to step into the twilight of the development of Cloudways also began to go downhill. The quality of the servers and their reputation is not as good as before, and they are starting to be abandoned.

Cloudways isn't without its faults.Prices are on the high sideIt's hard.Cloudways' Vultr 1H2GThe price of the server is $28/month, the same price can be rented on the Vultr website2H4Gof HF servers with double the configuration.

Cloudways Drawbacks ↓:

Cloudways add-ons (such as Cloudflare Enterprise) cost money, so the price is out of many people's budget, so few people in China can afford it. But it also gives high commissions, plus the machine is really good, so there are still a lot of bloggers recommend it.

Woocommerce and Elementor is very ate configuration, Cloudways server optimization again cattle can not basically reduce the plug-in occupation of server resources, the site will still be stuck, buy a higher configuration of the server can protect the site stable operation. If you have the money, the pursuit of smooth experience and do not want to maintain the server, Cloudways is a very good choice, at least buy 2H2G configuration ($ 32 a month).

Update 2023.11.12: Cloudways was acquired by DigitalOcean after the price increase, packages removed Linode and better performing Vultr servers (DigitalOcean competitor), and also removed 2H2G packages. It made it less competitive and was trolled by many users.

1H2G can barely run Woocommerc+Elementor website, a little more plug-ins or more visits will be stuck. Upgrading the 2H4G package costs $54 a month, which only the rich can afford.

2023.12.07 Update: A customer to build 2C new website, 2H2G, not yet built without any traffic suddenly one day can not access the background, prompting the following picture. After restarting the server to recover, after a few seconds and the same problem.

The database did not crash and was still enabled, and restarting the database alone did not restore it. After checking the monitor, I found that the CPU was fully loaded, and after eliminating it, I found that the YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter Premium plugin caused the jamming. The server optimization is no longer good enough to solve the resource consumption of the plug-in, high configuration is the king.

Buy Cloudways must buy more than 2H2G configuration, if it is an e-commerce site is best to be more than 2H4G configuration. Low configuration optimization even more powerful can not run a complex website, the basic configuration should be up to standard. If you think Cloudways is too expensive, we recommend buying it!

Update 2023.12.10: Cloudways does not support IPV6 addresses.

2023.12.11 update: the site has been prompted to link failure, refresh to restore, the new site has not been submitted to Google included. The server is busy and can't handle it, upgrade the configuration to solve the problem.

Kinsta(Not recommended)

The well-known high-end servers, publicity to do a good job (used to be a marketing company) a lot of people recommend, I met a few do not know how to build a website and have the money of the foreign trade company to use it.Kinsta is typical of the low allocation of high prices, look at the following chart $35 U.S. dollars / month package is only 10G hard disk space, the limit of 25,000 visitors a month.

Many of its add-ons require payment to use, and you have to spend extra money for good website performance. To run a small to medium sized Woocommerce site smoothly on Kinsta.You need to spend at least $100 or more per month, is simply too expensive. There are plenty of more cost effective alternatives, there is absolutely no need to use Kinsta, money is on the line when I don't say so.

Kinsta Extra Charge Program ↓:

I had a client who was dead set on renting Kinsta. had to select a few types of questions beforehand before I could link to human customer service, and the person responded so slowly that it took 6 minutes after I sent the message to receive a response! It took me 6 minutes to get a reply after I sent the message! Add a gripe: it doesn't have an online file management system, you need to use FTP software to edit files.

SiteGround (Not recommended)

SiteGround (SG for short) hosting used to be the most popularshared hosting, cost-effective, fast, stable operation, good service and full features. Articles recommending hosting on the web basically mention SiteGround, a household name.

SiteGround is ranked #1 in Facebook poll voting, uses Google Cloud Servers, and is recommended by many bloggers. It can be said that it has the best price/performance ratio, speed and balance among shared hosting in the same price range, and it's not unreasonable to win the sales crown.

SiteGroundHost Pros:

1. WordPress is fast in the backend and good in the frontend;
2. Higher parameters than other brands of shared hosting for the same configuration;
3. Distributed cloud hosting with SSD solid state drives;
4. Deeply optimized WordPress with 3 levels of caching and good speed;
5. The first rental is moderately priced (2.5 times more for renewals) and fits into a popular budget;
6. Live Chat human service support;
7. Highly secure with professional firewall and bot blocker programs, automatic backups;
8. 30 Day Money Back Guarantee;

SG has a lot of advantages and is a great shared host, but for every penny it's disadvantages are just as obvious. 19 years after the addition of new investors started to die in order to chase profits, search for " SiteGround " in the Facebook group, you may see a large number of complaints, SG has been deleting bad reviews.

Servers are heavily oversold, resulting in severe performance degradation and excessive CPU performance limitations. Before also limit the number of binding sites, in order to cut costs offline Live Chat function customer service quality decline, a look at the cPanel price increase immediately switch to Site Tools ...

Then when they saw how big things were getting they loosened the limit on the number of sites a bit and reinstated Live Chat. search Facebook for SG polls and you'll see that a lot of SG users are turning to Cloudways.ChemiCloud etc.

In the past, SG CDN used Cloudflare CDN, which has both paid and free packages. Later on, in order to make more money, SG CDN canceled the cooperation with Cloudflare, and changed to use its own SiteGround CDN (free and paid packages), but the acceleration effect and function is not as good as that of Cloudflare, which is worse and worse in order to make money.

SiteGroundHost Cons:

1. Renewal prices are about 2.5 times more expensive!Super expensive;
2. Finding people to falsely advertise, brush up on vote counts, and delete bad reviews, word-of-mouth gets worse;
3. Various restrictions after visits up and start to get stuck(To get subscribers to upgrade their packages).;
4. Limit the number of sites tied to it as well as the number of visits, and I've heard of serious CPU limitation issues;
5. There is an additional charge for changing the engine room;
6. Site Tool has too few features and average customer support.
7. It requires the use of its domain name resolution service, which is much less flexible;
8. TTFBAs well as long server response times and severe overselling getting slower and slower.

Another point we find not so good about the SG server is that there is not much room for optimization. It uses its own cache and plugins, which is great for novice users. But it's not great for tech-savvy people who can't use other caching solutions and such.

There are 4 lengths of time available with the purchase of a GrowBig package.Corresponds to 4 prices(April 10, 2022 data).

Do you see the problem? It's impossible for someone to rent on a monthly basis.$29.99 This monthly price can buy higher-end dedicated hosting with N times more configuration, the price isreference materialThe price is to set off the other packages. Renting 24 and 36 months per month is instead more expensive than renting 12 months, which is SG's way of doing things! Deliberately making people choose the 12 month length package.

Why? Because.SG renewals are many times more expensiveFor example, at the beginning of the 12-month rental GrowBig package price is $6.99/month, renewal 1 year price is $24.99/month ↓, renewal 2 years price is $19.99/month ↓.

(Above is the GrowBig package renewal price on May 20, 2023 ↑)

Some people think about changing their account after expiration to continue to buy new servers at a discounted price, but SG's wool is not that good. The new account can't bind the domain name of the previous account, and you can't use the credit card of the previous account to pay. In contrast, the Vultr 1H1G HF server is only $6 a month, paid monthly, and the renewal price remains the same. You get what you pay for.

SG background speed is good, after all, the use of Google cloud servers, but the foreground speed is not as fast as advertised, the test results are not as good as Vultr. If your business is just starting out, you can rent SG servers for temporary use, and then relocate the site to other servers when the package expires. Diamo suggests renting a better VPS server in one step directly. Register Vultr ServerThe

Note: The cross-border e-commerce standalone site built by Woocommerce has high hosting requirements, and it is not recommended to build it with SG servers because SG will limit CPU, read/write rate, etc. when the access is up. If you are rich and capricious, when I did not say.

One of our users bought a copy of ourAdvanced Advanced Speed Optimization TutorialThe 99 points were loaded in about 1 second on the computer and 51 points were recorded in 4.4 seconds on the cell phone, using the SiteGround server.

Google test tool suggests long server response time ↓:SG servers are only half as fast, not very fast.

By the way, SG'sbot-blocker (computing)There is a bug, there was an accident that the Google ads program was blocked, which caused the Google ads prompt landing page URL to be invalid. I sometimes open the ladder software to visit some foreign SG built website, will also be intercepted as a robot, turn off the ladder to visit normal. If the customer access is intercepted, the probability of turning around and leave.

2023-05-20 Update: SG is now abandoning Cloudflare CDN in order to make money and using its own CDN (free and paid versions), but the number of nodes, speed, and features are not as good as theCloudflare.Recently, I've been using several clients' SG servers (GrowBig packages) to build websites, and I've noticed that the backend as well as the frontend are slower than before, it's getting really bad. A friend purchased SG's paid CDN with full page caching, but the results are not as good as the free Cloudflare CDN.

To sum up SiteGround hosting has a lot of disadvantages, there is a ceiling limit to his speed that cannot be optimized. But at the same time it has a lot of advantages, high ease of use, and is still a good choice for beginners. The reason why I don't recommend it is because there are better choices, and Diamo recommends it!Chemicloud HostingThe

Hostinger(Not recommended)

It's been famous for a few years and is known as the cheapest LiteSpeed hosting that only accepts refunds within 30 days. The servers are powered byliteSpeed technologyWith the LiteSpeed caching plugin site speed is fast, m class!Mr. YanRecommendations it says fast to the scalp.

We actually received a lot of feedback and saw a lot of bloggers commenting on Hostinger. The general feeling is that Hostinger servers are not of good quality and often have problems. For the same price, Hostinger has less CPU and RAM, slower SATA SSD disks, and severe overselling.

We have used Hostinger server, the backend function is very little, far from cPanel. Below is a picture of a customer's website Google speed test suggests the problem, Hostinger server response time is too long.

Hostinger has been exposed for brushing up on fake sales in theTrustPilotWriting fake reviews, voting for myself in Facebook polls, being boycotted by a whole bunch of foreign bloggers writing articles, and having a less than stellar reputation.

Below is a quote from inside a post by TOM, a well-known speed blogger in the U.S. ClickView Original ArticleThe

Tom also says Hostinger faked his blog to write articles promoting his own server.

Here's a screenshot of Johnny's own blog post from a well-known overseas blogger.

A few clients have rented their own Hostinger hosting to build their websites with us.Regular package server feels a little bit stuck in the background speed. The process of building the website prompted excessive disk usage, with 97 times exceeding the peak asking us to rectify the situation.

The whole server has only a brand new half-finished website with no content and no visitors actually over-utilized? Contact customer service said it was a false alarm, in fact, it is to scare the white upgrade package.

If you rent a package of more than 20 dollars / month speed is more guaranteed, running a small traffic website is no problem. However, if the price is so high, or rent by year, it would be better to rent Vultr and other better servers, better performance and much cheaper.

Hostinger's pricing strategy is exactly like SiteGround's, with a very high price for a monthly subscription. The longer you pay, the bigger the discount, and the renewal price is about 2.1 times higher (the pits). This is one of the reasons why we don't recommend it.

In short Hostinger hosting is not quality, not cost-effective, restrictive, customer service is not good, ethics is not good, and dirty tactics are not good. Will such a company always put its heart into making good products and serving its customers? We don't think so and don't recommend using its servers.

Hostgator & BlueHost(Not recommended)

The 2 servers are owned by the same owner, so not many people would disagree with calling them the slowest servers, right? A lot of people recommend BlueHost on the internet, either because of old articles from years ago, or because they are paid to lie to newbies, and BlueHost made it to the list of recommended servers for WordPress because of their ability to pay money, not because of their strengths.

Note: cn.bluehost.com and bluehost.com are not the same company, cn.bluehost.com is hosted by nationals and is very slow.

Godaddy(DNS is slow).Namesilo Servers are not recommended either, they have no merit and are expensive.Elementor CloudIt's also not worth buying, says it uses Google servers in reality the performance is terrible and there are limitations on storage space, bandwidth, and access also sells Elementor Pro in a bundle.

The nature of the capital is to seek profit, the server penny a penny a penny. There are many hidden pits in those servers that are blown out of proportion and cost-effective, so buy a server that is balanced in all aspects.You can't go wrong with a conscientious server that is stable and puts the user first.

Contabo(Not recommended)

Contabo is a Germany-based virtual private server (VPS) and cloud hosting provider that offers several types of hosting solutions, including VPS, dedicated servers, cloud servers, and more. The advantage is that the price/performance ratio is great! VPS servers are actually sold cheaper than shared hosting.

Cost-effective, and VPS, a lot of their own station know a little bit of technology and not very knowledgeable people like to use it. Not recommended becauseprecarious1- Configuration is heavily inflated with lagging; 2- Bad network with dropouts as well as speed limitations; also no refund support.

ContabotempoLimitations:If the server uplink speed exceeds 100M/sec and the average traffic consumption consistently exceeds 100M/sec for a period of at least 10 consecutive days, the connection speed will be limited to 100M/sec.
