What Hosting Type I Have to Use

Whiat Web Hosting Type I Have to Use and which hosting services is the best

If you want to be a professional blogger, i.e. one who create a blog to make a living, this is my two advices for you. One, blog in a top domain with paid hosting. Two, blog WordPress as a blogging platform.

There are three types of hosting (a) shared-hosting, (b) VPS or virtual private server, and (c) dedicated server. Which type of server is best for you?

web-hosting-top.com has an interesting advice on this issue. See below:

1. If you earn at least $100/mo from your website, take our advice and go with best VPS hosted solution (from $29.95/mo). You will get your own virtual server, which will not get influenced by other customers using too many resources.

2. If your business is bigger in website traffic & emails and you earn at least $500/mo from your website, go with best dedicated server, to make sure you have a stable and fast website which will give you peace of mind regarding downtime, customer support and many other issues already reported by customers so many times on shared hosting platform.

3. If you are student or just learning the process of deploying a website, you can also consider going with a free web hosting service on the beginning and once your website is more important switch to a more reliable website solution.

I don’t use the advice #1 not to say #2 although this blog earn more than $500/month simply because the shared-hosting I use is so good that it can handle the traffic. FYI, I use Hostgator.

If you ask me which hosting services I recommend, my answer is one: Hostgator. Among the top ten web hosting services I tried, Hostgator stands out among the rest.

I plan to move to VPS hosting once this blog reaches at least 30,000 or 25,000 in Alexa Ranking (now 38,000).

    I use free web hosting service on byethost. Two days ago, when I checked my blog, I was surprised to see that my site was redirected to 404 page and to other strange websites. I thought it had been hacked. I checked my byethost account to make sure that something was fine and I realized that they suspended my account. I lost my blog now.

    Very sad, Mas Fatih.

    They say my blog exceeds the quotas they provide for my space.

    Fortunately I have the backup, although it’s only for June and the previous months. I’m thinking about using Blogger, mas Fatih. But I’ve got problems with internal links in my WordPress blog which are different in terms of structure from those of blogger. Blogger includes year and month in its link structure; my WordPress does not. If I simply import that self-hosted blog to blogger, my links will all be broken.

    Do you know how to solve this problem, mas Fatih?

    I saw your alexa now in 37743. It’s mean, it is the time you survey the new VPS hosting provider :)
    please share your finding and why you choose one of them.
