Today I'm finally going to buy hosting for 4 years. My plans are not so big, just a couple of wordpress blogs and a few landing pages. Should I overpay and buy business web hosting ($3.14 per month)?
Help me make the right choice. I would be very grateful

Just some of my thoughts

100 Websites = same
Increase performance - I highly, like REALLY highly doubt this. This is most likely shared hosting right? Yeah your still sharing and only getting a tiny of piece of that cake. Meaning, you get slightly more of the cake or a newer CPU or put into a group with a smaller hc but still just a slice... That 5x is most likely the premium cpu at 100% vs business cpu at 100%.
Double storage - is alright, but most sites won't go anywhere near that unless you are throwing dozens of site on that host or hosting alot of files/pics/videos.
Daily backups vs weekly backups - Honestly, these shared hosting backups are a total garbage, if your server goes down, hacked or what not, your backups are 9 outta 10 times gone, corrupted or worse. Unless you reach out to support which MAYBE has a spare copy. Get your own backup running and link it to a spare cloud (gmail probably easiest as an example). UpdraftPlus is great, i have it on my sites.
SSL is free to begin with, scam tactics here
Unlimited bandwidth is a lie, i can guarantee if you flood the servers, you will get suspended on either plans
Free domain yeah that's nice
Free CDN, hard to say, it would really depend which one they are using and the performance... But for that extra $2 a month excluding the benefits above, you may possibly get a way better cdn...Again, not sure which host this is but if hover over the ? maybe it says, or you ask support, maybe they know and will tell you.
If it is a good CDN, that alone is worth the upgrade :)

Depends on the company, I got a 5x account at a host here in Sweden and compared it with the regular account that they offered and it is like day and night in resources. Well worth the upgrade, specially if you gonna use a bunch of sites in the same account.

How about these indicators? Will they be very different in practice?
 
2 CPU is good over 1 CPU so that's good, even in a shared environment
1gb ram to 1.5gb ram sounds stingy as fuck
like @RoiBox said, those don't look like a 5x performance boost to me.
I'm not happy about it either, but I was told if I move my websites behind cloudflare, those resources should be enough without any problems.
 
I know for a fact they have servers in the Netherlands. And probably in the USA, too.
The company I showed you has servers in France and Sweden, but it was the specs that define "Business" account that was the focus, your specs for business account in your image is not a business account, it´s just a up-sell shitty hosting deal.
 
I always hated their pricing structure. 4 years is a long time to commit, who knows what will happen in 4 years
Yeah I dumbly bought a 1 year hosting from shitty Hostinger now my website is growing, my host is slow and I can't upgrade because I would be stuck 1 year more with them and I can't buy other 'cause it would raise my costs. :|

yeah, they sounds like scums already... and honestly wouldn't even recommend at this point

Exactly this. You have to factor in when you grow you will need an updated plan so your current plan becomes useless.

james_bond_007 I'm currently using Hetzner. Very cheap and pay monthly.​

Seems very impressive, but I'm confused by the price. A bit pricey for me at the moment

They say you can upgrade your plan at any time, if needed

P.S. To be honest, I was choosing between Hetzner and Hostinger. But the second one gives a good discount for 4 years, which of course interested me. $150 for 4 years sounds pretty good.
 
how this possible
  • 8 € / mon
  • 50 000 MB SSD storage
  • 3000 GB traffic/mon
  • 8 GB RAM - 4 Core
for 8 / month ?
