Quality hosting: selection criteria

Creating a website at the initial stage is usually accompanied by a number of mandatory questions, the main among which is the choice of a high-quality and reliable hosting provider. Since hosting is something akin to a web foundation on which the mobility and functioning of a future page will depend, it is worth starting its choice by studying in detail what reviews say about the most reliable paid sites that provide such services. The hosting rating is created in accordance with certain criteria.

Even a shallow review shows that the best hosting has several advantages, the main ones are as follows:

1. The presence of Uptime, which is typical of reliable servers, since their work is carried out as usual and does not threaten to fail.
2. Solid State Disk provides good loading speed.
3. 24/7 technical support.
4. Inexpensive hosting is always better than cheap hosting, because the latter, as a rule, contains some flaws in its work.
5. Unlimited and paid hosting.

This is how a sketchy overview of the main nuances that are characteristic of the work of leading hosting resources looks like. Attention is drawn to the general principles of work for most companies. Many have already been mentioned among the criteria for good hosting. Of course, this indicates a high professional level of each site from the top 10. As a rule, these companies receive relevant reviews, the review of which will only convince you of the appropriateness of your choice.

The actual features of hosting

The list of top 10 sites well demonstrates the benefits that a hosting company gives to its customers. In addition to virtual, there is the possibility of creating cloud servers. This is a different kind of paid hosting sites. A similar service can also be obtained from one of the top 10 companies. As already mentioned, cheap hosting is not a productive solution. It is worth adding that only a paid resource exhaustively implements your plans, if they are serious enough. A review of free hosting sites shows that their functioning leaves much to be desired. The choice of a quality hosting company may also be determined by the goals pursued by the site creator.

On the other hand, the hosting rating is also determined by the degree of preference on the part of customers. To determine which hosting is better, it is enough to study the list of hosters and analyze all the nuances of the services provided. Another factor that the best hosting companies have is copying customer information. Thanks to this more than prudent option on the part of the company, the client will not lose his data if his computer breaks down. Finally, an essential feature of good hosting for your future site is a number of offers such as discounts, gifts or bonuses. Reviews of such resources are positive. If at least some of the above characteristics of paid hosting sites are present, you can use the services offered to you.

As follows from the above, even a cursory review of paid hosting sites allows you to determine the resources that are most deserving of attention.

Greetings to all blog readers!

On the agenda is the question "Which hosting is best suited for the site." Despite the fact that I have repeatedly indicated which hosting I use, and even once posted an article on this topic, many of my readers still have this question. To whom I have not yet answered the mail on this topic, I am sending you a link to this article. Let's get started. I myself, at the beginning of my webmaster career, selected hosting. Those who know me know that I originally had a whole business of creating and selling various sites and services (most often film portals). Those who are not familiar - we still have time to get to know each other, soon I will add the section "about myself" again.

What is a good website hosting?

I have tried quite a few hostings. I always proceeded from several parameters:

Number of sites per account

Support work time

Based on the parameters, I chose the following options: makhost, timeweb, runs.

Makhost

By the way, I don’t even know why this picture is depicted. I found it on the Internet without any explanation.

First of all, I started using mahost because my friend had a promo code for 90 free days. What can I say - although the hosting is of high quality, but at that moment (2010) the uptime was relatively small. Stably 2 times a week there were failures. Hosting admin panel - isp panel, which is a big minus in my opinion. In terms of admin, I'm subjective. I prefer cPanel, where all the necessary elements are conveniently and colorfully located. I used the ISP panel for about 4 months and still got used to it. A bunch of menu items, all in one gray sidebar, literally everything is blurry, the first time it's very difficult to click exactly the link you need.

Differences between ISP panels and cPanel.

On the left is my favorite cPanel and on the right is ISP. You see the difference yourself. And yes, if the list in the isp panel does not seem so big to you, then I will say that this is only half the screen. There are so many more points and sub-points.

In general, compare yourself which panel you like best, and based on this it will be easier to make a choice, because. cPanel does not provide such a large number of hostings.

timeweb

My decision was to switch to timeweb. Hosting is great, I really liked it. Some of my projects are still on it. There is a convenient cPanel. Frequent promotions allow you to save a lot, or get more services for the same fee.

Failures, as elsewhere - about a couple of times every six months, which cannot but rejoice. Support is responsive. On average, it will take an hour or two to resolve your issue.

I can't say anything bad about it, except for the price. For a beginner, hosting is quite expensive. When paying monthly for a normal tariff, you will have to pay 200 rubles.

Beget

I am an ardent supporter of savings, and therefore I try not to give even 50 rubles once again, because. such amounts tend to add up to thousands very quickly and create additional monthly expenses. So when I created this blog, I decided to check hosting. I took the cheapest tariff for 90 rubles a month.

The result exceeded all expectations. I am a very demanding person, and I like to find fault with everything. But on this hosting there was nothing to complain about. Everything is just perfect! Very convenient cPanel, no problems with support. I remember there was a problem with the transfer of a project, so I solved this problem in 2 minutes! Seriously! 2 minutes passed between posting my question and getting it resolved! This is the kind of service I was bribed.

Literally the next day, I requested a change to a more expensive tariff, and transferred all my most important projects there. Since then (2012) and to this day, my blog, shop, and a couple of web services sit on this hosting. And with their total traffic of just over 20,000 people, the sites have never fallen.

Tariffs there have become a little more expensive because of the dollar, but still cheaper than on most other hostings. And with such a service, it seems to me that this is the cheapest option.

In December, the server with my projects crashed 2 times, the first time I did not attach any importance to this, because. crashes happen everywhere, and they haven't been on beget for a long time. But for the second time in a week, he made me contact support with a request to transfer me to a stable server. And what do you think? I contacted at night with a question, and when I woke up in the morning I found that all sites were transferred to another server. Now that's what I call operational work! So far there have been no more crashes.

So if you are looking for a good hosting that would be suitable for your sites - I highly recommend taking a closer look at the hosting Beget. Many more are interested in whether a server is needed or is hosting enough? Depends on projects. Most websites are suitable for hosting. If you have a large project with too much code, and the database literally smokes from requests, and the number of your visitors exceeds 50 thousand, then of course, hosting will not be enough. Get a server!

Which tariff to choose?

If you have a simple blog or website - choose the cheapest one. This is enough. For some reason, when creating an ordinary blog, many people immediately choose expensive tariffs for themselves, without using even a tenth of all the functions provided, and after a while they abandon their blogs with the words "it can't even pay for hosting." Well, who is to blame? Your blog is a very long term investment.

Good mood to you all!

The embodiment of the idea of ​​creating any site on the Internet, as a rule, begins with the choice of a hosting provider. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of making the right decision here - low-quality hosting in the future can lead to interruptions in work, a significant decrease in income and even the loss of all data.

Of course, when building a site, you don't want to pick a parking lot for your site at random, hoping that it won't let you down. It would be much better to get acquainted with the list of trusted companies that have been providing quality and cheap services for several years.

Review of the best hosting providers in Runet

timeweb

— this site hosting has been working for quite a long time (since 2006) and for a long time that it provides its services, it has caused nothing but positive emotions among customers. The resource on which you are now located is hosted by timeweb.

We are very pleased with the services of this company and plan to continue cooperation in the future. So far, in our opinion, there is no equal to this hosting in Russia.

On the one hand, the project is budgetary, but nevertheless, it has an office and the necessary certification. We often hear the phrase " quality hosting for little money”, however, only in a few cases, like this one, what is said is true.

Among the advantages of Timeweb, it is worth noting stable fast PHP performance, stable uptime and responsive technical support, with the help of which most problems are easily solved.

When installing popular CMS sites and forums, no non-standard settings, beating a tambourine and other shamanism are required. Of course, you can find some flaws in the data backup system, but this is a budget solution. So, sorry.

Timeweb rates:

Site installation on timeweb hosting:

Beget

- St. Petersburg paid hosting, serving more than seven thousand Internet resources. The servers are located in the Eltel data center. The company entered the market seven years ago, but the real boom in its popularity occurred only in 2009.

In particular, the growth in the number of customers is explained by favorable tariffs and the opportunity to test hosting capabilities for free (a test period for a period of one month - not every reliable hosting provider offers this).

Yes, it cannot be said that Beget is the best paid hosting, but its creators have done a serious job to get closer to this title.

Ease of registration and management. Sometimes, there was a feeling that I was being pushed in the right direction, everything was so simple and intuitive.

The nitpicking is caused by the speed of execution of PHP scripts, which is slightly lower than that of foreign analogues. However, the category “cheap hosting” and tariffs from 100 rubles per month remove all claims.

If you asked me - which hosting is better? Then I, perhaps, will put "Timeweb" in the first place, and "Beget" in the second. But in this article, we cannot limit ourselves to only two hosting, so let's look at other companies.

Beget price list:

Review of Beget.ru:

McHost

McHost.com - an old and reliable company that has gathered more than ten thousand regular customers over the ten years of its existence. During my short acquaintance with this company, I managed to highlight a number of main features:

• Quality service. Technical support agents are almost always online and ready to answer your questions both at two in the morning and at five in the morning. Tellingly, most of the positive reviews on the Internet are talking about TP.
• Adequate rates. Although I would advise you to pay attention to the cost of various services like “server administration” - some of them can cost you a pretty penny.
• Good performance. I had to organize a resource on this host under the control of CMS 1C-Bitrix. Let's just say that the engine is quite cumbersome, but the hosting did an excellent job.

The inability to withdraw the balance of own funds from the account, which were not spent, spoiled the overall impression of the work. More precisely, you can withdraw them, but the process is too dreary - to draw up an application, notarize it (I don’t understand why this is necessary when the request is sent from the control panel, the password for which only the user himself knows).

The cost of McHost services:

The company is familiar to the majority primarily as an officially accredited registrar of domain names in the RU/RF zones, as well as the largest platform for their purchase/sale. However, there is another service that "Reg.ru" provides - paid hosting.

An excellent alternative for those who do not want to intersect with various intermediaries who sometimes register your domains in their own name, but work directly.

The number of possible configurations is amazing - there are more than a hundred basic tariffs alone. But you can still take into account additional options, such as the number of IP addresses, DDoSa protection, and others. But, unfortunately, here the company made a serious, in my opinion, mistake.

While other paid providers are actively developing the mass market, Reg gives access to only one Lite tariff for less than 100 rubles per month. But even it is practically useless, since it does not support PHP.

Reg.ru tariffs:

The following sites also deserve mention in the list:

• HTS.ru is a dynamically developing provider that provides a wide range of services, from virtual and mail hosting to server rental.
• Nick.ru is one of the most popular domain registrars in Russia and other countries of Eastern Europe. Users note high-quality technical support, high uptime and adequate rates.
• HostLand.ru- More than seven years on the market, reasonable prices for php hosting - starting from 90 rubles per month. It is possible to check the quality of work using a test account (15 days free).

But in my opinion this is already the second grade. Once again, hosting is very important. If there are constant interruptions in the work of your site, then you will lose visitors, and, accordingly, the money that these visitors could bring you.

Conclusion

And yet, everyone wants a clear answer to the question - which hosting is better to choose? In the article I have already told about my preferences. Of course, the ideal option is when there is an opportunity to test everything with your own hands. Some features are well implemented in Timeweb, others in Beget, and so on. Everywhere has its pros and cons. You need to choose where it is more convenient and comfortable for you to work personally.

P.S. I propose to supplement the review of the best paid hosting with my options for cheap and reliable companies. Write about them in the comments.

; Now we are taking the next step in creating our website. Today we will consider a serious and complex topic: how to choose the right hosting for your site.

What is hosting?

Your site must be physically located on some server. Now I have settled on firstvds. Theoretically, this could be your own computer, but in practice this is almost impossible for an inexperienced user. My stepbrother has such a model - his own server at home - a separate room with equipment, but he is a genius in this topic and he needs it for work. For the site to function successfully, the following is required:

• The computer must be constantly turned on, protected from power surges and other adverse effects;
• Internet connection must be fast and uninterrupted;
• Requires installation and support of special software.

It is difficult for a beginner in computer affairs to fulfill these conditions. It is much easier to contact companies that provide hosting services (from English to host - to receive guests, to be the owner or manager) - placing your site on their servers. Disk space on the server is leased to the site owner for a fee. There are also free hosting services, which we will also talk about.

On the Internet, you can find a huge number of hosting companies. Eyes run wide, it is not clear how to find a suitable hosting provider - after all, at first glance, the services are similar for everyone. The question of choice is a difficult problem, especially when the choice is so great. Let's first decide on the criteria by which we will choose, and then we will conduct a short review of the traditional 11 companies.

How to choose a hosting provider: the parameters by which we evaluate the company

This question can be divided into two: what do we need from hosting itself and what do we need from a specific company. If we clearly understand what exactly we need, it becomes much easier to look for someone who will provide us with what we need, agree. So,

Hosting: types and requirements

The main thing from which we will “dance” when choosing hosting parameters is your website. What does he represent? Does it exist or is it just in the plans? You need to know the following:

• Purpose of the site: business card, blog, online store, information portal. What will be the volume of data and traffic? Will it be a small site just for your entertainment or a large commercial project demanding resources and security systems? It is clear that the requirements for hosting in these cases will be completely different.
• What is your site created or will be created on? What programming language is it written in, what CMS does it use?
• Will you have one site, or will you need to run several?
• What is your technical level? Will you be able to solve emerging problems on your own, or will you need constant support?

So, you know what kind of site you have, you can imagine in general terms what resources will be required for its successful functioning. Let's now see what types of hosting are and how it will help you solve your problems.

I wrote about the free and paid option for creating my site.

Of course, you can search online and choose free hosting for your website. Sounds tempting, right? Unfortunately, this type of hosting has one global advantage - it is free, but there are much more disadvantages that you may encounter:

• Limited resources and services - disk space, databases, programming languages;
• Third-level domain name - for a self-respecting company, this is undignified;
• Ad blocks that pop up in the most unexpected places;
• Lack of technical support, instability of work.

Is it worth the risk, especially if you are starting a large and promising project? Tariffs for paid hosting are not so high, but there are many more advantages.

However, there are times when choosing between "free or paid hosting" options is entirely possible. If you:

• just entering the world of web technologies and want to practice,
• create a simple business card website for a non-commercial project with a limited budget,
• want to change something in your project (for example, customize the scripts) and need a testing ground -

the free option might suit you just fine. After all, moving to paid hosting is available at any time.

Paid hosting

Let's move on to the various options for paid hosting.

Hosting companies offer many tariff plans, from the cheapest - about 100 rubles per month, to expensive ones, the cost of which can reach tens of thousands per month. What is the difference? Firstly, in the way of providing space on the server. Hosting can be:

1. virtual
2. Physical
3. VPS (VDS)
4. cloudy

The cheapest and most common type of hosting designed for small sites. Your site will be hosted on the company's server together with the sites of other users with whom you share all server resources. There may be hundreds or thousands of such sites. Users do not have access to server management.

Advantages:

• Low price;
• Compared to free hosting - more resources, technical support;
• It does not require deep technical knowledge - you only administer your site.

Flaws:

• With a heavy load on the server, performance drops, even if this load is created not by your site, but by “neighbors”;
• Inability to configure and change the server software;
• Disk space and bandwidth are limited because depends on the number of sites hosted on the server.

Thus, shared hosting is suitable for beginners, as well as owners of small projects that do not expect too much load. If you are planning to run a blog, a medium-sized online store, a business card site - virtual hosting will suit you.

Physical hosting

The most expensive type of hosting. Its essence lies in the fact that the site owner hosts the site on a leased dedicated server (and you can also on your own) on the territory of the host. The entire server is at the disposal of one owner.

Advantages:

• There are no restrictions in resources, bandwidth, server load. All these parameters depend only on the technical characteristics of the server;
• The ability to customize the server to suit your needs.

Disadvantages (following from the advantages):

• High price;
• The need for special knowledge to administer the server (or the presence of a specialist in the staff).

It is clear that this type of hosting is suitable for large projects: large stores, portals with many users, social networks, groups of sites. It is unlikely that you are going to launch such a project from scratch, so we will leave this option for later.

VPS hosting (or VDS - almost the same, at least for the user) is a compromise between a dedicated server and shared hosting. A “virtual server” is organized on the server for each site owner, to which he has full access. These virtual servers do not depend on each other, each has its own operating system and its own resources, intended for only one user.

Advantages:

• Compared to physical hosting - moderate price;
• Compared to shared hosting - more resources and performance;
• Ability to administer the server.

Flaws:

• As in the case of a dedicated server - the need for in-depth technical knowledge;
• The price can be high for beginners.

How to determine whether shared hosting or VPS is right for your website? If the resources and performance on shared hosting tariffs are no longer enough, and a dedicated server is too expensive and complicated, then VPS is your choice. VPS hosting is suitable for projects such as online stores, news and entertainment portals, popular blogs.

A new type of hosting for Russia is cloud hosting. Like other cloud technologies, this hosting involves the use of distributed resources, namely the resources of several servers at once. The load on the servers is distributed dynamically.

Advantages:

• Flexibility of settings: you can choose the required configuration of resources;
• Easy scalability of the project;
• There are options to pay for only those resources that have been used;
• No dependency on server load.

Flaws:

• Compared to a dedicated server, there is no possibility of full access to the server;
• Some security issues.

This hosting option is also worth considering for the owners of fairly large projects.

Resources and services for various types of sites

We will briefly consider what resources will be required from hosting, depending on the technical characteristics and type of site.

• If your site consists of several static pages written in HTML and CSS using JavaScript, then there are no special hosting requirements. Feel free to take the lowest rate.
• If your site is created in one of the popular CMS, such as WordPress or Joomla, hosting must necessarily support the PHP language and MS SQL databases. In addition, for each system there is a list of required technical conditions - read it before purchasing a hosting.
• For a WordPress site, and for Joomla, and for other systems, it is also desirable that the hosting provide a one-click CMS installation service - this is convenient for a user who does not have special knowledge and saves time. Now many hosters provide this service, in addition, there are separate tariffs “tailored” for one or another CMS.
• Which hosting to choose for an online store depends on the scale of the project. The tariff must be selected depending on the planned traffic, sales volume, number of goods. Databases must be included in the tariff. In addition, any commercial project needs to protect user data, i.e. the hoster must provide SSL certificates.

Hosting companies: parameters

After reviewing the hosting options, we can move on to the parameters by which we will choose a company.

1. First and foremost: the compliance of the tariff plan with the requirements that your site imposes, which we spoke about in sufficient detail above, as well as the ability to easily switch to another tariff plan in case of an increase in traffic, disk space, etc.
2. The question on which the convenience of administering your site depends is which hosting control panel is used in this company.
3. Backup. The question on which the safety of all your information depends. How is it done automatically or do you have to take care of it?
4. Technical support. How does it work, around the clock or at certain hours? Is it possible to call with an urgent matter, or is communication only by e-mail?
5. The reliability of the hoster, the stability of the servers, the friendliness and competence of technical support are all important parameters that characterize the company. To find out, let's turn to reviews about the work of hosting providers.

Have you already begun to think or have you firmly decided - to have a website? Well, let's move on to the review of hosting companies.

Started instagram. Showing the life of a copywriter, making fun in stories, let's be friends! GO TO INTSAGRAM

is a company that has been operating since 2006. It is located in St. Petersburg, where two of the company's own data centers are located.

Timeweb offers the following rates:

Tariffs for shared hosting are quite attractive: one site will cost you only 99 rubles per month. at an annual payment, while the company offers:

• 10 days trial period,
• on all plans - traffic is free and unlimited
• free SSL certificate
• when paying for a year - a domain as a gift
• the ability to install popular CMS "in one click"

There are tariffs for sites running CMS 1-C Bitrix:

1C-Bitrks - paid CMS; when buying this system from timeweb, the company provides a year of free hosting.

The price for VDS hosting starts from 260 rubles/month. for a configuration of 5 GB disk space, 512 MB memory and 2 2.7 GHz processors. At the same time, the user has the opportunity to increase all these parameters, as well as select the operating system of his virtual server.

Dedicated servers will cost the customer from 8900 to 19600 rubles / month.

As for the reviews about the company, they are ambiguous. There are good ones, customers are happy with everything; but there are many reviews in which users complain about the support service, about the instability of the work.

Conclusion

Tariffs are a good combination of price and conditions offered for this price. Owners of small projects will be completely satisfied with tariff plans for shared hosting. You can “assemble” a tariff plan for VDS hosting yourself, depending on the required parameters. Given the 10-day trial period, it makes sense to test this hosting.

- another company with a data center in St. Petersburg, has been operating since 2007.

Tariffs for shared hosting start from 115 rubles/month. At timeweb - from 99, but for 1 site and 1 GB, here - 2 sites and 2 GB.

All rates include the following:

As you can see, there is automatic copying, and support for databases and languages, and other "buns". In addition, the test period lasts a whole month.

But that's not all: Beget offers free hosting. Of course, on limited terms: 1 site, 1 MB of disk space - but without ads and with support for popular CMS and the ability to easily switch to a paid plan. Great offer, right? If you have a very modest website, these resources may be enough for you.

Beget also offers VIP rates. Compared to shared hosting plans, these plans:

A server rental service is also offered: from 9800 to 48000 rubles / month.

The company does not provide VDS hosting services.

• The hosting control panel, like that of timeweb, is its own development. Quite concise, but does not cause problems for users.
• Technical support - round the clock, communication by e-mail through the "ticket" system, through the control panel, by phone.
• It is possible to purchase paid CMS, while a year of free hosting is provided at a rate that depends on the conditions of purchase.
• You can also install free CMS "in one click".

Reviews about the work of beget are mostly good. Users note the convenience of the control panel, tariffs suitable for beginners, but of course there are also complaints about technical support.

Conclusion

Indeed, it will be extremely interesting for a beginner to use this hosting. A large test period is a month, in addition, the ability to use a completely free tariff with a painless transition to a paid one. A very interesting option. However, it is worth bearing in mind the absence of VDS hosting for the future.

- the first foreign hosting in our review. The company is based in New York, has been operating since 2012, has data centers in America, Europe and Asia.

Digital Ocean is known for working with the cloud and offering VDS hosted exclusion solutions to its customers.

Offered for $ 5 minimum configuration is enough for a regular blog. For loaded projects, tariffs with an increased amount of RAM are offered:

Please note that rates can be paid both monthly and hourly. So if you need a short-term increase in any resources, you can switch to a more expensive tariff for a while, and then return to yours.

To create your own virtual server (droplet), you need to register. After registration, the account is replenished with $10, i.е. in fact, you can get a free five-dollar tariff for two months. Then you need to select the virtual server operating system, tariff and data center (in 8 cities around the world). For backup to work, you need to check the corresponding box. Specify the number of droplets - and in less than a minute everything is ready.

• The control panel is convenient, but in English.
• Technical support round the clock, but again in English. Communication through the "ticket" system or through the feedback form.
• CMS are supported.

Reviews are generally positive. Users like the speed and reliability of this system.

Conclusion

Certainly an interesting company. Perhaps the future of hosting lies precisely in such technologies. But a newcomer, especially a Russian one, still should not rush and “run” to this hosting. Firstly, here you still need to have certain knowledge in administering a server, albeit a virtual one. Secondly, you need to know English. And thirdly, the price, taking into account the dollar exchange rate, still turns out to be higher than that of Russian providers.

If you are already an experienced hosting user and your project needs expansion, Digital Ocean may be a great option.

– the company is one of the leading Russian domain registrars. Works since 2000. Providing hosting services since 2006. The data center is located in Moscow.

Shared hosting: the cheapest plan is from 149 rubles / month, while 10 sites are available, but PHP is not supported, which does not allow the use of CMS such as WordPress and Joomla, and, in general, dynamic sites. And who needs 10 sites that are static pages? Thus, a full tariff starts from 229 rubles, which is higher than the average prices on the market.

There are separate tariffs for CMS, both paid and free:

The minimum plan for WordPress is 10 GB of disk space on SSD drives, 10 sites. CMS is already pre-installed on these tariffs.

Backup provided: copies of files are stored for a week.

Prices for VDS hosting start from 490 rubles / month, server rental costs from 8500 to 21900 rubles.

There is a possibility of a test period of two weeks, however, only two separate test tariffs are available, the use of which also requires the conclusion of an agreement:

• Control panel of our own design. It is simple and intuitive.
• Technical support works around the clock, by phone or e-mail.
• There are tariffs for your own designer: from 290 rubles / month.

Reviews quite eloquently testify to the not too high quality of the support service. Users complain about the company's dishonesty in relation to mutual settlements with users, as well as lack of RAM and frequent interruptions in work.

Conclusion

The company's rates are definitely not suitable for a beginner. It makes sense to consider the services of this provider only for wholesale (corporate) customers. It is inconvenient to register, a strange policy regarding the test period. Reviews about the work of nic.ru are also not very favorable ...

Russian hosting provider on the market since 2005. Data center in St. Petersburg.

Tariffs for shared hosting are presented in such a nice "space" design:

For 98 rubles. you can get 3 GB of disk space and host 3 sites. Backup and 15 days trial period available. Not bad.

In addition to these three tariffs, there is a Premium tariff for shared hosting, according to which the amount of disk space increases to 80GB. Price - from 1200 rubles.

Popular CMS are available, for 1C-Bitrix separate tariff plans are offered from 360 rubles / month.

Like beget, sprinthost offers a free hosting option for beginners. The restrictions are as follows:

• Disk space - 2 GB;
• Only informational support is provided, the solution of the arisen technical difficulties is independent;
• You must log into the control panel for authorization at least once a month.

VDS hosting - from 360 rubles, 799 rubles. – "Virtual Machine" for 1C-Bitrix: a server prepared by 1C-Bitrix specialists specifically for this CMS.

Dedicated server - from 5300 rubles.

The hosting control panel has its own, quite convenient, with an adaptive layout, which has recently become important.

Support service - round the clock, by phone, chat and e-mail.

Reviews are mostly positive. Customers are satisfied with the speed of responses and the competence of technical support, convenient rates and user-friendly interface of the system.

Conclusion

Attractive rates, availability of promotions, additional bonuses (such as free domains on some tariff plans), good user reviews: definitely worth considering this hosting provider for ordering services from him. Beginners can take advantage of free hosting (if they are not afraid to work on their own, without technical support) and a test period.

is one of the oldest domain registrars and hosting providers in Russia. The company started operations in 1999. He is the owner of the data center in Moscow.

Tariffs for virtual hosting:

It would seem that here it is - the ideal price: 39 rubles / month. However, do not rush to rejoice: this is a test version of the "Free" tariff for 1 month. The masterhost does not have a free trial period. Thus, the tariff for 1 site starts from 200 rubles. True, disk space on all tariffs is unlimited.

The client can choose on which servers - with Unix or Windows OS hosting will be carried out.

What is included in the tariffs of shared hosting? Here is a very detailed description of Unix and Windows tariffs:

As you can see, the tariffs include many useful features.

In addition to standard tariffs, masterhost offers professional:

There are two types of tariff plans:

• For CMS
• Something like a dedicated server: a third of the resources and all the resources. The server is under the control of the host.

Tariffs for VPS start from 146 rubles. per week (yes, here is the calculation by weeks). There is a constructor that allows you to collect the desired configuration.

A dedicated server costs from 7904 rubles / month; the company also offers the service of hosting the customer's server in its data center.

• The hosting control panel is of its own design, customers are mostly dissatisfied with its interface.
• Support service - round the clock, by phone and e-mail

Users speak disapprovingly of the masterhost: the interface of the control panel, the speed of work, server crashes, and poor technical support cause particular criticism.

Conclusion

Although this hosting provider is one of the oldest, it does not cause much enthusiasm among users. Tariffs for both shared hosting and VDS are higher than market prices. Of course, the hoster has certain (at least declared) advantages, such as unlimited disk space, but it’s better not to apply here for a beginner. It is worth considering the inconvenience of the interface, the lack of a free trial period and negative reviews.

is a company operating since 2006 in Russia, Estonia and Ukraine. It has its own data center in Estonia, there are also data centers in Germany. As the name suggests, works with VPS hosting and dedicated servers.

There are also tariff groups (on other servers). As you can see, the most economical tariff is 248 rubles, which is comparable to the tariffs of shared hosting.
Dedicated servers - from 3168 to 20310 rubles / month, there are a large number of tariffs.

Installation of popular CMS "in one click" is available on all tariffs.

Backup is configured independently, although the tariff says "automatic backup". Backup disk space costs from 1.9 euros. Yes, when ordering a tariff, prices are indicated in euros, so the entire cost in rubles is indicative.

• The control panel is FastPanel, convenient and modern. You can purchase access to the ISPManager panel for an additional fee.
• The company's website has a convenient tool - the ability to analyze your website and select the appropriate tariff:

• The support service works on tickets, around the clock. The average response time to a request is 20 minutes.

Below we will look inside and out the question of choosing the best hosting for websites, which will be reliable and inexpensive. Usually hosting is chosen once, and then they work on it for years, so do not be lazy and study in detail all the information in this article.

To begin with, let's dwell on the questions, what qualities should the best hosting have in general? What is worth paying attention to?

Characteristics of the best hosting

We list the main points that a good, or rather the best hosting should have.

• Reasonable prices for tariffs, as well as flexibility of tariffs (why pay more for something that we will never use)
• Support for PHP, mySQL, htaccess (as a bonus Perl, ASP, CGI)
• Large disk space for the site/sites
• No restrictions on the amount of traffic to the site
• Ability to host an infinite number of sites on one account (hosting)
• No limit on creating the number of mySQL databases
• Hosting uptime 99.9% (sometimes called server uptime)

Review of the best website hosting

1. Hosting CJSC Hosting Telesystems

Hosting meets all the requirements of great hosting. Simple and fast registration, free trial period for 10 days of any tariff. In addition to traditional WebMoney and YandexMoney, there is a wide choice of payment methods (cards, through a bank, etc.).

Those. support usually responds very quickly. There is a free phone +7(800). The hosting control panel is quite simple.

There are special rates for Bitrix.

And, of course, low tariff plans for so many opportunities leave no chance for competitors (price / quality ratio is very high). In my opinion hts is the best hosting at the moment.

2. Hosting "Internet Hosting Center"

Hosting address - ihc.ru

3. Adminvps Hosting

Hosting address - adminvps.ru

The main advantage of AdminVPS is the provision of All Inclusive services. The price of the tariffs includes: automatic backup, basic DDoS protection and full service administration (including VPS and dedicated servers). Technical support is one of the best: it works around the clock, responds quickly and gives detailed answers. Accordingly, I also consider AdminVPS to be one of the best companies. It will especially appeal to those who have a VPS or a server..

4. Hostinger Hosting

Hosting address - hostinger.ru

They provide both regular hosting and VPS. In the presence of its own control panel, many supported CMS, in some tariffs there is also a free domain and an SSL certificate.

Very good and pleasant technical support, profitable affiliate program. The cost of hosting starts from 99 rubles.

5. McHost Hosting

Hosting address - mchost.ru

Fast hosting, or rather one of the fastest. Has existed for a very long time. It is possible to try out hosting in a test period, which takes three months, and any tariff.

ihc hosting raises a few questions, but overall I rate it as the best.

In terms of tariffs and convenience, there are no questions about it. There are even special promotions for Bitrix licenses, there are free templates.

The main disadvantage of hosting is frequent warnings about server overload (if you have a lot of traffic). Sometimes letters can come every day, although nothing seems to have changed, but the load on the server, judging by the logs, has grown catastrophically.

Despite this, I like hosting and consider it one of the best.

There is a free phone of those support +7 (800).
