How to see what sites the hosting provider is hosting
- views 1249
Hi! We want to choose the best hosting provider between 3 companies. It seems that all three are decent
and have happy customers. Could you tell me how can I review the sites they are hosting? Solutions (1)Hi! You can see which domains are located on a certain IP address, for example, using the service https://2ip.ru/domain-list-by-ip/. But a hosting company may have multiple servers, or sites on the same server can be located on different IP addresses. Thus, this information will only be partially helpful. You can also contact technical support of the chosen hosting company and ask them directly - what IP address will your site be located on? When you get the answer, check them with the advice given above.Answers (1)You will not be able to evaluate the hoster by looking at the sites that are hosted on it. Take advantage of the free trial period and check the quality of services yourself. Nowadays, all decent hosters provide a free trial period. For example, we offer 14 days for free: https://sweb.ru/hosting/
Hosting price
We highly recommend not to purchase the cheapest hosting package. Usually, they come with a row of issues: the server is often down, the hardware is outdated, lousy and slow support, registration and payment errors, etc.
For your convenience, we have created a tool that can help you to choose the right hosting package for you just by answering a few simple questions.
Hosting for
Type of hosting
CMS
CMS is a content management system. A lot of hosting providers offer so-called CMS optimized packages. However, this is a marketing trick because most CMSs do not have special software or hosting requirements.
Free trial
Trial period is a period of time, usually from 7 to 30 days, during which you can use the hosting services for free to test them.
Moneyback policy allows the customer to receive a refund for his order within a certain period after the purchase.
OS
OS means the operating system is installed on the server. We recommend to choose Linux hosting unless your website requires another OS.
Other
Bulletproof hosting - it’s a type of service that allows to host almost any type of content, even the restricted one (adult content, warez, spam etc). Bulletproof hosting providers do not remove your content in case someone reports an abuse.
Unlimited hosting - refers to companies that provide packages with unlimited disk space, bandwidth, number of domains, databases or email accounts, etc. This is usually a marketing trick but sometimes you can find something worth a try.
Secure hosting - it’s a type of service when the hosting provider is mostly responsible for the security of the user’s account: updates the software installed on their servers, provides an antivirus and malware scanner, firewalls and basic anti-DDoS protection, etc.
DDoS-protected hosting - companies that provide packages that include anti-DDoS protection. These packages are considerably more expensive than regular ones. Nevertheless, they’re totally worth their price because the company will ensure that your website is secured from cyber attacks.
Technologies
Most websites require MySQL and PHP installed on the server to work correctly. Almost all hosting providers support these technologies.
ASP.NET is a Microsoft web application development platform.
Control panel
The more comfortable the control panel is, the easier will it be for you to change the website and hosting account settings.
Most hosting providers that are in TOP20 in our rating offer user-friendly control panels, such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin. That’s why we recommend to pay attention to other, more important parameters, while choosing a hosting provider.
