What are your experiences with shared hosting services?

What type of hosting is best to opt for hosting a WordPress blog with a Woocomerce plugin and a lot of affiliate links?

Anybody? Also, what are your opinions about cloud hosting? Is it worth the money?
 
Shared web hosting option is created for smaller websites which includes new bloggers, small businesses, etc. If every site used their quota, then shared hosting would not work. But since only very few do, it works out very nicely for everyone. Users get a very affordable deal, and hosting companies make a good profit
 
Nice discussion here. What type of hosting do you suggest me if I expect to receive up to 60k monthly visits?
 
Its simple.

1. When u r starting up ur money site or any site, low cost shared hosting is cool. but all the rss are shared in those, so even if 1 user abuses traffic or disk read / write etc, every one is affected. But you do not have to mind that cos you are just starting up.

2. After your earnings pickup a little & u see decent traffic but are noticing down times, time to move to vps. Vps also shared & total control not in ur hands, but for decent traffic with low income its cool.

3. After traffic picks up. buy a dedicated server with 2 ssd, make raid 1. bandwidth to ur needs. all controls in ur hands.


If you do not do the above, the hosts will force u to do that, example if u are using too much bandwidth or ram or disk read / writes, you will b forced to upgrad to vps or dedicated suddenly when u are unprepared. so you should b prepared & move on ur own after u notice ur traffic picking up.

PS : for 50k traffic u should b earning, so vps investment is not a big deal. but if earnings is decent i would just go with dedicated servers & start planning for the new sites too ( if u r planning to make new sites ).
 
Thank you for clarifying this.

Difficult setup and high price?

No, the setup was not difficult at all but the price was definitely high. I saw a lightning fast TTFB and WordPress dashboard navigation as compared to shared hosting(bluehost).

Thank you for clarifying this. :oops:
I used cloud hosting after the being a user of shared hosting for 2 years. The difference is HUGE!
On both hostings, I was using WordPress.

It is more profitable to rent a cheap server. Install any control panel. Use it fully! I myself have been using only servers for many years.

How much do you pay for it monthly?
Yes, around $10 a month I guess.
Personally, I'd love to move to VPS but I do not know how to manage them.
Oh wait, so you are using a cloud hosting and you would like to move to VPS? But why, not happy with the hosting company?

I'm happy with the speed and everything for running websites it but I kind of like "more freedom".
Running my own bots may be, proxies and stuff. You cannot do that on a cloud hosting.
 
shared hosting
is not always good and not always bad. Its depend on the company

Yeah, a cloud hosting is "too clean". Would you mind sharing your current cloud hosting company? :D
