How to choose a web hosting provider?
Congratulations, you’re about to start a website! I’m sure it will go well for you.
But before you get started, there are some important decisions to make. The most important of these is which web hosting provider to use. This is the company that provides the physical resources that your website lives on and stores all its files on and therefore determines how fast your site loads. You want to choose a provider which has powerful servers with plenty of memory and lots of computing resources. Choosing the right host—one with great customer service—will help ensure that your site stays up and running smoothly once it goes live on the world wide web.
Do they use NVMe SSDs?
An NVMe (NVM Express) SSD is an advanced storage solution that can significantly improve website speed. It works like any other SSD, but it’s much faster due to its latest-generation technology.
To get the best performance, you should choose a web hosting provider that uses NVMe disks in their servers: it will be noticeable on your site, while regular disk drives won’t make any difference at all.
If you need more than just a basic package, then you should consider a plan with NVMe technology included because it can be more expensive than regular ones - but worth every penny if your website gets lots of traffic!
At Noxity we have a wide range of NVMe SSD web hosting plans available with different performance levels, so you can choose the one that suits your needs. Our NVMe SSD-powered servers are fast and reliable - they’ll make your website load quicker than ever before.
Location of the server matters!
The location of the server determines its latency, or how long it takes for a packet to travel from the server to the end user. In other words, if your target audience is from Europe and you want your website's visitors to experience minimal delays in loading times when they access it, then having a server in Europe would be best. At Noxity we offer Frankfurt, Germany location, which is perfect for audiences across the whole of Europe, especially the western part.
When you choose a web hosting service, be sure to select one with servers closest to your target audience or the great majority of it. The closer your website's server is located to your target audience, the faster it will load for them.
Do their packages suit your needs?
Now that you’ve got a general idea of what to look for in your web hosting provider, it’s time to get down to business.
You’ll want to check their packages available and make sure they have the right amount of space and compute resources that suit your needs.
If you need a free trial, ask for one! Some web hosting providers offer free trials for a limited period so that you can explore their services before committing your money.
If there isn’t any free trial option, then check if they offer custom quotes based on your needs – this will allow them to tailor their plans specifically towards what suits you best instead of having to stick with certain packages or paying more than necessary just because they don't have anything else available at present (this happens surprisingly often).
Finally, compare these plans with other providers in the same industry - chances are there might be better deals out there but most people tend not to look beyond their own neighborhood so do some research online before making decisions when choosing a web hosting provider!
Which control panel is provided?
A control panel is a web interface that allows you to manage your website. It's a collection of tools and features, such as file management, email accounts, security settings, and other handy functions. Your control panel should be easy to use so you don't have to spend hours learning how it works when you could be working on your site instead!
There are many different types of control panels available today including cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin. You'll want to choose one that suits your needs best! At Noxity we use cPanel as our research has shown it offers most features needed by our clients while at the same time being extremely intuitive to use.
How is their support?
It's important to find out what kind of support your potential host offers. The faster they respond to tickets and the friendlier they are will make you feel more comfortable in their hands.
Also, you'll want to know how many ways you can contact them. An email address and a ticketing system are the bare minimum, but if there are multiple channels available (such as live chat, and phone support for example), this will be very helpful if something goes wrong with your site or server during business hours.
Another thing to consider is the host's uptime guarantee. Almost all hosts will offer a 99%-100% uptime guarantee, but that doesn't mean anything if they don't back it up with action. If your site goes down because of an issue with their servers or network, they should be able to fix it as soon as possible so you don't lose any money or business. At Noxity we offer a comprehensive uptime guarantee of up to 100% backed with an SLA.
The best way to get a feel for how good of a host they are is by reading their reviews. The more they have, the better. You can also check out their forums; if there are lots of complaints about downtime and poor customer support, it's probably not worth your time.
Conclusion
As we’ve seen, there are many things to consider when choosing a web hosting provider. But with the right knowledge and research, you can find the perfect host for your needs. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or do some trial runs before committing to anything long-term!
