How to Choose the Best Web Hosting Provider for a New Website ??

marcellosallas · Nov 20, 2024

Hi everyone,

I am planning to launch a new website and need some advice on selecting the right web hosting provider. I know the decision can significantly impact the site's performance, security and growth potential so I am being extra careful.

Here are a few key points I would love input on ::-

Shared vs. VPS Hosting :- Is shared hosting good enough for a small, content driven site or should I invest in VPS from the start: ??
Uptime Guarantees :- How reliable are the advertised 99.9% uptime claims? Any red flags to watch for: ??
Support Quality :- What’s your experience with hosting providers' customer support? Are 24/7 live chats really helpful: ??
Scalability :- Which hosts make upgrading seamless if traffic grows faster than expected: ??

Thanks in advance for your help !!

Looking forward to learning from your experiences !!

With Regards,

Marcelo Salas

Shared vs. VPS: Stick with shared hosting for now. It’s cheap and fine for a small site. Only go VPS if you start hitting traffic limits.

Uptime: 99.9% is standard. If they’re actually reliable, it’ll show in reviews. Watch out for hidden downtime.

If your budget is not too low. I advise you to buy the VPS. Many providers have BF discounts for VPS now. Compare the price and specifics and select the best one for you.

Hi Marcelo, hope this helps!
If you are looking to work on a small, content driven project, i think you can start with a shared hosting.
About uptime guarantee -I think its a matter of investigating them online.
Support- NOW THIS ONE IS A TRICKY ONE. For me the big winner here is HostPapa.com (they are true 24/7)
Scalability - HostPapa helps you upgrade in base of your needs! and the best thing is that they advice you when is time to upgrade!

Hope this helps you sort it out!

Cheers!
