New Blog, New Host - Recommendations Need!

[X-R0]

As the Title says,

I need some recommendations from you guyz.

I plan a new Wordpress Website/Blog and I look for the most cost-effective hosting plan, of course.

My audience is located in the German-speaking countries.
After some researches, I try to decide between Namecheap hosting or just go with Amazon AWS.

On one hand, Amazon AWS with EC2 looks like the best option, because they offer a 12month free testing time. But it also seems like a bit more time intensive it will probably take more effort to configure everything for my needs.

I already have some Domains with Namecheap but never try their hosting plans. They are very cheap
and I see they have a Data Center in Great-Britain and they have a lot of 1-click installs, which looks very comfortable and handy.

to round up my wild thoughts:

I look for a Webhost which is:

• Beginner friendly
• Cost-effective
• Flexible (easy to upgrade)
• Time-Saving
• Secure

Please share your experience with me

OK, thanks all for your reply, but I... think I should be more clear.
I'm looking for a Webhost with a Datacenter in Europe!

Not USA not India, Vietnam or whatever

I appreciated your comments, but please tell me more in Detail, why I should go with one or the other.

keliweb.it
blazingfast.io
hetzner.de
BuyShared

* Be careful choosing your package, if your website uses a lot of resource maybe VPS is the best way.

Yes, you are correct. Sorry to recommend Hetzner.de but they have a great reviews in the past month's, until this day they have received a lot of bad feedback. I didn't what happens with the company, but they always are good with support. I have used them on the past, and they are great. Their datacenter in Germany is one of best, good network and speed.

Maybe can be because of that, company change time to time, it seems to be the case of Hetzner.de that had degradation in the service. However I can't edit right now. But until today I always have heard good feedback from hetzner.de. I have used the Cloud VPS.

However, my apologies to OP for recommend such hosting. But I can't guess when a company goes of "Good" to "bad" unfortunately.

EDIT: It seems to be a problem on Atlanta servers, Germany servers is OK, however I never will use USA servers with my traffic coming from Europe.

thanks for your recommendations, hetzer was new to me and I'm located in Germany

I already read about the big issues with Atlanta DataCenter, thanks for the warning @HudsonWebServices
But I try to have an eye on them because you mentioned the great Servers in Germany.

After hours of researches (I'm mean googling) I find 2 Webhoster that provide my needs and 1 which is very famous... but...

a2hosting
+reported fast loading times on all the reviews I find
+quick response
+Server in Netherland

fastcomet
+amazing quick response and professional answers
+reported Uptime from what I read... the best
+Server in Frankfurt (Germany)

siteground
+ alot a people recommend them
+save
+Server in Netherland

I chat with all of them, but siteground is actually dismissed already. Just upfront annual payment is a no no.


Any experience with the Companies I mentioned above?

Any experience with the Companies I mentioned above?

Check keliweb.com their servers are on Italy that is not to way so far. Blazingfast.io is a great hosting their provide 10Gbps and a great support and Firewall (but maybe is shared).
keliweb.com respects GDPR and they erase your data if you want they do it for you. Check their datacenter page to more information.

I don't like Fastcomet and others hostings with that such addons: https://i.imgur.com/c0cPXIC.png

This addons are ridiculous and who offers this is a company to avoid. Submitting website to search engine is free and they charge for it. It's a big "NO" for fastcomet and others who sells that.

I checked keliweb and they look very dedicated, but all good reviews in Italian language and they have no chat support. I try to call them no service time on weekends... urgh* and the Mailbox Message only in Italien
I asked the Fastcomet support again, what's about those ridiculous addons you try to upsell and they immediately answered very Profesional and polite what this Addon do. For an instant, what this Search Engine Submission actually does and they were very honest with there answers.
He told me: The addon helps the listing get faster otherwise it's a bit slower since you have no bots to index your site on the search engines.
I really hooked on, honestly said.
I just compare Fastcomet to a2hosting, as their hosting plans are very similar. I think I will go with one or the other.
