Rating of paid hosting. How to choose a hosting provider: parameters by which we evaluate a company

; now we take the next step in creating our site. Today we will consider a serious and complex topic: how and what kind of hosting to choose for your site.

What is hosting?

Your site must be physically located on some server. Now I settled on firstvds... In theory, it 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 to work. For the successful functioning of the site, you need the following:

  • The computer must be constantly on, protected from voltage surges and other adverse effects;
  • Internet connection must be fast and smooth;
  • Installation and support of special software is required.

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'll talk about too.

On the Internet, you can find a huge number of hosting companies. Eyes run up, it is not clear how to find a suitable hosting provider - after all, at first glance, everyone's services are similar. Choice is a complex issue, especially when the choice is so great. Let's first define the criteria by which we will choose, and then we will conduct a small overview of the traditional 11 companies.

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

This question can be divided into two: what do we need from the hosting itself and what we need from a particular company. If we have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat exactly we need - to look for someone who will provide us with what we need, it becomes much easier, agree. So,

Hosting: types and requirements

The main thing from which we will "dance" when selecting hosting parameters: your site. What is he like? Does he exist or is he just in the plans? You need to know the following:

  • Purpose of the site: business card, blog, online store, information portal. How much data and traffic will be? Will it be a small site just for your entertainment, or a large commercial project that requires resources and security systems? It is clear that the hosting requirements in these cases will be completely different.
  • What is your site created or will be built on? What programming language is it written in, what CMS does it use?
  • Will you have one site, or do you need to run several?
  • What is your technical background? 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, imagine in general terms what resources will be required for its successful functioning. Let's now see what types of hosting are available and how they will help you solve your problems.

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

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

  • Limited resources and services - disk space, databases, programming languages;
  • The domain name of the third level is undignified for a self-respecting company;
  • Advertising 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? The tariffs for paid hosting are not so high, but the advantages are much greater.

However, there are times when the choice between the options "free or paid hosting" is quite possible. If you:

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

the free option might suit you perfectly. After all, moving to paid hosting is available anytime.

Paid hosting

Moving on to the various paid hosting options.

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's the difference? First, in the way that server space is allocated. Hosting can be:

  1. Virtual
  2. Physical
  3. VPS (VDS)
  4. Cloudy

The cheapest and most common type of hosting 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 the server's resources. There can be hundreds or thousands of such sites. Users do not have access to server management.

Benefits:

  • Low price;
  • Compared to free hosting - more resources, technical support;
  • Doesn't require deep technical knowledge - you only administer your site.

Disadvantages:

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

Thus, shared hosting is suitable for beginners, as well as for owners of small projects, on which too much load is not expected. If you are planning to blog, a medium-sized online store, or a business card site, virtual hosting is fine for you.

Physical hosting

The most expensive type of hosting. Its essence lies in the fact that the site owner places the site on a dedicated server provided for rent (or, perhaps, on his own) on the hoster's territory. The entire server is at the disposal of one owner.

Benefits:

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

Disadvantages (following from advantages):

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

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

VPS hosting (or VDS - almost the same thing, 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 only for one user.

Benefits:

  • Compared to physical hosting - reasonable price;
  • Compared to shared hosting - more resources and performance;
  • Server administration capability.

Disadvantages:

  • 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 if virtual hosting or VPS is right for your site? If the resources and performance on shared hosting plans 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 implies the use of distributed resources, namely the resources of several servers at once. The load on the servers is distributed dynamically.

Benefits:

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

Disadvantages:

  • Compared to a dedicated server - the lack 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

Let's take a very brief look at 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 you don't need to make any 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 PHP and MS SQL databases. In addition, there is a list of required technical conditions for each system - read it before purchasing hosting.
  • And for a WordPress site, and for Joomla, and for other systems, it is also desirable that the hosting provides 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 "sharpened" 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, and the number of goods. The tariff must include databases. In addition, any commercial project needs to protect user data, i.e. the hoster must provide SSL certificates.

Hosting companies: parameters

Having reviewed the hosting options, we can proceed to the parameters by which we will choose a company.

  1. First and foremost: compliance of the tariff plan with the requirements of your site, which we discussed in sufficient detail above, as well as the ability to easily switch to another tariff plan in the event of an increase in demand for traffic, disk space, etc.
  2. The question on which the convenience of administering your site depends: 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 need 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 question, or contact only by e-mail?
  5. The reliability of the hoster, the stability of the servers, the friendliness and competence of the 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 started to think or have you firmly decided - the site should be? Well, now let's move on to a review of hosting companies.

Do you want to learn how to write articles and make money on the Internet? Right now I have a recruitment for free training according to the author's methodology. BOOK UP WITH PAUL YAMBU

Is a company operating since 2006. Located in St. Petersburg, there are also two of the company's own data centers.

Timeweb offers the following rates:

Shared hosting tariffs are quite attractive: one site will cost you only 99 rubles / month. with annual payment, while the company offers:

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

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

1C-Bitrx - paid CMS; when purchasing 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 of disk space, 512 MB of memory and 2 processors 2.7 GHz. 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 8,900 to 19,600 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, the instability of work.

Output

The rates represent a good combination of price and conditions offered for this price. The owners of small projects will be completely satisfied with the tariff plans for shared hosting. A tariff plan for VDS hosting can be "assembled" independently, depending on the required parameters. Given the 10-day test period, it makes sense to test this hosting.

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

Shared hosting rates start at 115 rubles / month. Timeweb has 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 "goodies". 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 site, these resources may be enough for you.

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


The service of renting servers is also offered: from 9800 to 48000 rubles / month.

The company does not provide VDS hosting services.

  • The hosting control panel, like timeweb, is its own development. Quite laconic, but does not cause problems for users.
  • Technical support - round the clock, communication by e-mail through the "tickets" 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 terms of purchase.
  • You can also install free CMS "one click".

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

Output

Indeed, it will be extremely interesting for a beginner to use this hosting. A long test period - a month, in addition, the opportunity to use a completely free plan with a painless transition to a paid one. A very interesting option. However, it should be borne in mind that there will be no VDS hosting in the future.

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

Digital Ocean is renowned for working with cloud computing and offering VDS hosting based exception solutions to its customers.

The $ 5 minimum configuration is enough for a typical 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 your own.

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

  • The control panel is convenient, but in English.
  • 24/7 technical support, but again in English. Communication through the system of "tickets" or through the feedback form.
  • CMS are supported.

The reviews are generally positive. Users love the speed and reliability of this system.

Output

An interesting company, of course. Perhaps the future of hosting lies precisely with such technologies. But a beginner, especially a Russian one, shouldn't hurry up and "run" to this hosting. Firstly, here you still need to have some knowledge of server administration, albeit a virtual one. Secondly, you need to know English. And thirdly, the price, taking into account the dollar exchange rate, is still 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. Has been working since 2000. Provides hosting services since 2006. The data center is located in Moscow.

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

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 for these tariffs is already preinstalled.

Backup is provided: copies of files are kept for a week.

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

There is the 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:

  • Proprietary control panel. It is simple and intuitive.
  • Technical support works around the clock, by phone or email.
  • There are rates for your own designer: from 290 rubles / month.

The reviews are quite eloquent testimony to the low quality of the support service. Users complain about the company's unfairness in relation to mutual settlements with users, as well as a lack of RAM and frequent interruptions in work.

Output

The company's tariffs 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, 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.

Shared hosting tariffs are presented here 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 are available. Not bad.

In addition to these three tariffs, there is a "Premium" tariff for virtual hosting, which increases the amount of disk space 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 information support is provided, the solution of the arisen technical difficulties is independent;
  • You must enter 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.

Hosting control panel - its own, quite convenient, with adaptive layout, which has recently become important.

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

The reviews are mostly positive. Customers are satisfied with the speed of responses and the competence of technical support, convenient tariffs and a friendly interface of the system.

Output

Attractive tariffs, availability of promotions, additional bonuses (such as domains as a gift on some tariff plans), good user reviews: it is definitely worth considering this hosting provider for ordering services from him. Newbies can use free hosting (if they are not afraid to work independently, without technical support) and a test period.

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

Shared hosting tariffs:

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 testing period. Thus, the tariff for 1 site starts from 200 rubles. True, the disk space on all tariffs is unlimited.

The client can choose which servers - Unix or Windows - will be hosting.

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

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

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 resources. In this case, the server is under the control of the hoster.

VPS tariffs start at 146 rubles. per week (yes, here the calculation is by week). There is a constructor that allows you to assemble the desired configuration.

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

  • The hosting control panel is its own design, and customers are mostly unhappy with its interface.
  • Support service - 24/7, by phone and e-mail

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

Output

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 rates. Of course, the hoster has certain (at least declared) advantages, such as unlimited disk space, but it's better for a beginner not to contact here. 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. Has its own data center in Estonia, there are also data centers in Germany. As the name suggests, it works with VPS hosting and dedicated servers.

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

All tariffs offer one-click installation of popular CMS.

The backup is configured independently, although the tariff says "automatic backup". Disk space for backup starts from 1.9 euros. Yes, when ordering a tariff - prices are indicated in euros, so the entire cost in rubles is approximate.

  • The control panel is FastPanel, comfortable and modern. Access to the ISPManager panel can be purchased for an additional fee.
  • The company's website has a convenient tool - the ability to analyze your website and choose a suitable tariff:
  • The support service works on tickets, around the clock. The average response time to a request is 20 minutes.

The main problem now is the most reliable provider, because no one wants to lose the information and traffic stored on the server due to constant interruptions in the availability of the site. Therefore, it is worth focusing primarily on the age of the hosting, that is, how long it has been “afloat”, but not choose a provider based on the monthly cost.

Also, we do not recommend giving preference to free options. They are suitable exclusively for a novice webmaster who is just learning how to make simple websites and does not want to get into all the intricacies of CMS (engines). It makes it easier to understand how to transfer a domain, how to load a website, etc. For more experienced professionals, paid hosting is the best option.

Verified hostings: rating of the most reliable

Interruptions in work, poor download speeds, lack of adequate technical support are all constant companions of bad hosting. And here is a list of quality indicators of a good provider:

  • Perl, PHP, ASP, CGI, htaccess support;
  • Plenty of disk space;
  • Multiple sites are allowed;
  • Powerful and fast server.

The rating of hosting providers in Russia will help you navigate in all its diversity.

The best option for a young site is BEGET

Beget - hosting is inexpensive and functional enough. A big plus is the availability of operational technical support, ready to help. On average, waiting for a response does not drag on for more than half an hour. In the market since 2007, has since won an excellent reputation.

Universal and versatile REG.RU

Bonuses: free SSL certificate, extended file system, the ability to choose any control panel. All tariffs have automatic protection against DDoS attacks, built-in antivirus and even their own website builder.

Maximum benefit with minimum payment - HOSTLAND

ISP Hostland will delight you with a loyal approach to the formation of the cost of tariff plans: an average of 399 rubles per month will cost the most expensive of the proposed tariffs. Using it, the webmaster gets 20 Gb of free disk space and an unlimited amount of MySQL, which will allow the owner to create several more sites on this hosting, which are easy and convenient to manage through an unlimited number of databases.

  • Php 7 compatibility;
  • There is an antivirus scanner Ai-Bolit.

To start using the trial period, just visit the provider's website, enter your email address in the field and that's it. No more body movements, your account will be activated instantly.

The optimal combination of quality and cost, coupled with convenience - TIMEWEB

TimeWeb earned its place in the TOP of the best hosting in Russia due to the presence of favorable rates: the most budgetary one for 129 rubles a month, the most expensive one for 450 rubles. At the same time, everyone receives a domain as a gift. It has been working in the Russian market since 2006 and is not slowing down even now. According to statistics, the provider increases its client base by 4 thousand monthly, today over 150 thousand webmasters resort to its services.


The company is trying to offer new products to users, of the latter - the ability to group accounts. Now it is much more convenient to switch between different accounts by pressing just one key. The downside is the need for a separate payment for the SSL certificate.

Description of features:

  1. Powerful servers providing a high load threshold;
  2. Large limit of free memory;
  3. There is a good website builder;
  4. Support for 5.3-5.6 versions of php, Python and Perl;
  5. Disk space can be expanded at the request of the client;
  6. All sites run on SSD drives, which are many times better and faster than outdated HDDs.

The downside is the slow work of the support service, you will have to wait at least a day for an answer.

Hostinger with unlimited traffic

ISP Hostinger offers customers to use any of 3 tariffs: "Simple", "Premium" and "Business". The second and third options allow you to use unlimited resources in your work. This is not only unlimited traffic, but also disk space, the number of sites and accounts. Price range for VPS from 296 rubles. up to 4000 rubles

Hosting allows you to work with a convenient and intuitive panel, where you have access to all the necessary options from the file editor to the instant CMS installation. If a client needs to create a simple landing page or a business card, it is convenient to use the ability to integrate with a website builder. As in many other hosting services, here a free domain is issued when paying for hosting for a year or more (the exception is the purchase of the basic starting tariff "Simple").

SPRINTHOST is another option for beginners

SprintHost - the provider that closes the rating of excellent Russian hosting in 2019. It focuses on the needs of novice webmasters, therefore, has developed basic tariffs worth 98, 298, 498 rubles and a premium option. This simple and budget-friendly option is great for a small blog or online store. An interesting feature of the host is the Nginx UP module, which shows the degree of file upload. Additionally, users can be offered to rent VDS and servers.


If the client needs more disk space, alas, it will have to be purchased separately. Therefore, the provider's tariff plans lack flexibility. In such a situation, the client will be forced to switch to another tariff, which will not suit everyone.

Other available options include:

  • Virtual hosting;
  • You can get a free domain if you pay for the tariff for a year in advance;
  • There is good technical support, users can ask questions by phone at any time of the day;
  • If a person moves from another hosting, a bonus is given to him two months of free service at SPRINTHOST.

Hosting prices are below market prices, which undoubtedly attracts.

How do you choose the best hosting for your needs?

Based on this hosting rating, each webmaster will be able to choose the best one for himself. As you may have noticed, the issue of cost is far from the main criterion to be guided by. A modest cost is usually limited functionality, and an overpriced monthly fee does not yet guarantee a full set of options required for operation.

You need to look for a provider that has a reasonable price and that meets your needs. You cannot do without practical testing of this or that service. In practice, for young resources, Beget or HostLand is more often used, although webmasters with experience also prefer the first option. By the way, this site (site) is also located on beget.ru ... In any case, an ideal hoster is always honest with his clients, he has round-the-clock support, and there is no need to pay extra for basic services. He has good uptime, and even if there are technical failures, he is ready to provide users with compensation for the inconvenience caused.

We suggest you watch another video version of the TOP 10 providers rating (where exactly Beget takes 1st place):

Quality hosting: selection criteria

Website development at the initial stage is usually accompanied by a number of mandatory questions, the main one of which is the choice of a high-quality and reliable hosting provider.

This is a sketchy overview of the main nuances that are inherent in the work of leading hosting resources. Attention is drawn to the principles of work common to 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. Typically, these companies receive relevant reviews, a review of which will only convince you of the appropriateness of your choice.

Actual features of hosting

The list of the top 10 sites well demonstrates the benefits that a hosting company can provide to its customers. In addition to virtual ones, 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 mentioned, cheap hosting is not a productive solution. It is worth adding that only a paid resource fully 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 website 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 providers 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 in the event of a breakdown of his computer. Finally, an integral part of a good hosting for your future site is a range 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 the above suggests, even a cursory review of paid hosting sites allows you to identify the resources that are most worthy of attention.

Hosting - service for the placement of client files in the network. It is based on a set of physical equipment (server) and software with Internet access. Hosting providers provide space (server disk space) to host data that will be available over the Web on an ongoing basis. All sites "live" on hosting - remote storages with a lot of fine-tuning and physical parameters.

10. Nic.ru

Ru-Center is the oldest domain registrar of Runet (since 2001). Hosting is an additional line of business, implemented very averagely. There are virtual, dedicated and physical servers for rent. Support is mediocre, there are many unexpected restrictions on tariff plans. The equipment is not the fastest in the niche. The cost of renewing domain names is overstated, there are situations when extra money is withdrawn from customer cards when paying for services automatically. Totally expensive hosting.

  • Inconvenient default control panel interface;
  • There are frequent problems with website accessibility;
  • Weak, on average, technical support work - many delays and unsubscriptions;
  • The uptime of the sevreres is below the market average;
  • Backup files can be obtained only through contacting technical support;
  • You cannot edit DNS records without a paid utility;
  • They openly publish information about the domain owner (hiding is paid);
  • The limit of the allocated RAM is often exceeded;
  • Databases fall periodically;
  • Unreliable operation of the mail server (data may disappear);
  • The control panel is locked 2-3 times a month for technical work;
  • There are delays in domain registration and renewal;
  • 2 GB limitation for downloading files via FTP / SSH;
  • You need to pay extra for every little thing (for example, to enter a Yandex MX record);
  • It takes a long time for money to go to the account after payment for services;
  • The number of sites available for creation at shared hosting rates is clearly higher than what will fit on the allocated amount of SSD storage.

The cost of regular hosting per month when paid for a year in advance:

  1. Shared hosting 100 (169 rubles / month) - 10 sites, 4 GB SSD.
  2. Shared hosting 200 (259 rubles / month) - 15 sites, 10 GB SSD, SSL and a domain for free.

  6. Shared hosting 600 (2959 rubles / month) - 100 sites, 3 GB of RAM, 30 GB of SSD.

Choosing a hosting, given the range of providers and services, is not an easy task. Most often, before starting work, you will not understand what a hoster is. In the process, nuances emerge that are not reflected in any way in the description, tariffs and advertising. You can be guided by reviews - this is perhaps the best option. Or a rating review like ours - it shows really noteworthy options.

From our point of view, the best choice would be AdminVPS - the company has fast hosting and VPS / VDS on SSD disks, good technical support, modern equipment in the Moscow DC Caravan Tier 3+ (we are clients, habr.com, fl.ru, etc.), installation of different CMS in one click, test 7 days ... It is a convenient platform for users, at an adequate price.

We recommend choosing a provider with good reviews and solid technical support. The quality and speed of customer service are top criteria that you should pay attention to. As a rule, services with good technical support, everything else is also organized at a decent level. Cost is a secondary factor, since it differs very little from competitors and does not always reflect the quality of the service. More expensive is not always better. And vice versa.

Game hosting is a specialized exotic, MyArena is not bad in its way. Gino is a good brand with normal prices, a strong average. We do not recommend only Ru-Center - minuses are darkness. The rest can be taken if the price suits you.

Hello habrahabr!
We have compiled a selection of various ratings and services of the Russian Internet, designed to help site owners choose the best provider and facilitate this process.

Ping-admin.ru
Hosting rating based on objective indicators. The main criterion used in the assessment is the uptime. Other indicators used to determine the ranking positions are the loading time of the hosting site's main page, the average loading speed, as well as other time parameters. Given that the ranking results are based on measurable indicators, the results can be called objective. Nevertheless, the uninterrupted functioning of a hosting site does not always mean high-quality work of client projects. On the other hand, the resource makes it possible to obtain at least some unbiased information.

Hostobzor.ru
One of the oldest hosting directories with reviews on the Russian Internet. Each hosting provider can create its own page with information about the services and tariffs offered. The site has published more than 4000 reviews about hosters registered in the directory and allowed to leave reviews about themselves. Interestingly, the ability to add responses is available only to current clients of the companies. Thus, the creators of the site solve the problem of possible black PR from competitors. On the other hand, existing customers may be afraid to leave negative reviews because of the possible backlash from the hoster.

Hosting101.ru
A large and popular directory of hoster reviews. A convenient response system has been implemented. In addition to the standard text comment, users can mark the advantages and disadvantages of the provider indicated by other users or add their own. The disadvantages include the inability to determine the veracity of the review. You don't even need to register to leave comments. Reviews can be left by both real customers and competitors of the company, or simply by fans of "trolling" the community.

HostDB.ru
Hosting portal with a rating of providers. A comprehensive rating is formed based on customer feedback and the hoster's activity on the site. Hosting companies, within the portal, can publish news, inform customers about current promotions and organize polls for users. For each active action, the hoster receives additional points to the rating. A more objective version of the rating is evaluative. It is based on the average rating given by users. The very idea of \u200b\u200ba rating rating is good, but so far ill-considered. It is not very correct to rank according to the average rating of a company with one or a hundred reviews. Perhaps, for more adequate results, you should introduce a minimum threshold for the number of ratings to participate in the rating or come up with another solution.
