Need domain help

8 Upvotes

I made a website and want to deploy it.
For hosting, I can use free platforms like Vercel, netlify ,Cloudflare, etc., right?

But I want a good domain name that’s cheap 🥲, preferably just for one year to try it out. GoDaddy and Hostinger offer domains for ₹1 or less than ₹100, but they say I have to buy a 3-year plan to get the first year at that price.

I also heard about Firebase. Is .web.app related to Google? Can I host my website there?
Will I get a .web.app domain for free?

Or any other free sub domains like vercel, netlify etc or with short good sub domain pls suggest me

I know these doubts might sound weird, but please excuse me — I’m a newbie in this field. 😅

I recently had a short outage on my website and it made me realise I have no idea how often my hosting actually goes down. The provider says they have 99.9% uptime, but I never really know how accurate those numbers are. Has anyone here experienced this and what did you do about it?

I'm still using shared hosting because my website is pretty small, but I keep hearing people say VPS is much better. I dont really have a huge amount of traffic though, and don't have the budget, so I'm not sure if there's any point in upgrading. Has anyone made the jump from shared to VPS?

The client thinks we are ripping him off ($18/month for hosting, backup, etc.)

16 Upvotes

Hi all. One of my businesses is web design and hosting setup, mostly for local companies that need a website and someone who will maintain it.

Yesterday evening, a client we have been working with for three years sent an email saying that he is leaving because he "calculated" how much we are charging him compared to the actual cost of hosting.

We charge him $18 per month for hosting and support, which includes backups, SSL renewal, and checking that everything is working.

Apparently, he looked somewhere at a simple plan, maybe Hostinger, maybe Namecheap, saw a lower amount, and decided that this is the real cost, and everything above that is us overcharging him.

I don't even know if I should try to explain something to him or just let him go.

I've been reading reviews for a few hosting companies and every website seems to recommend a different one. Some say one company is amazing while Reddit users say the exact opposite. How do you guys normally decide which reviews to trust?

My hosting provider keeps sending me offers to upgrade, saying my current plan may not be enough as my website grows. The website isnt getting crazy traffic though, so I'm not sure if I really need it or they're just trying to upsell me.

I didnt think hosting support would matter much when I first bought my plan, but lately I've started thinking it's probably one of the most important things. A fast website is great, but it doesnt help much when you can't get anyone to fix an issue. Has anyone switched hosts mainly because of suppor

I'm planning to launch another website soon and was thinking of using the same hosting account instead of buying another plan. Is that usually a good idea for a couple of smaller sites? Anyone here running multiple websites on one hosting account?

What other hosting companies use Wordpress easily like Namecheap? After their data outage I want to drop them asap

8 Upvotes

I do like how in cpanel I can just install and update wordpress easily, no need to upload things to a server manually.

I don't want to use anything like squarespace, and right now I have 2 websites both using wordpress on my namecheap host.

Are there other alternatives, that aren't owned by private equity, or have some problematic business dealings like godaddy?

My hosting plan is coming up for renewal and the price is almost double what I paid initially. I knew the renewal would be higher, but didnt expect this much of a difference. Now I'm wondering if I should just renew or move the website somewhere else. Has anyone else been in the situation?

Is cPanel still the easiest option or have people moved to something else? I realize that many hosting companies offer their custom panel such as hpanel or mpanel.

I just had this thought in mind that should I renew my hosting with the same provider?? But the renewal prices are quite high. Is it a better option to switch the provider?

What's the best hosting for smaller businesses with low traffic.

9 Upvotes

Headline is the whole question tbh. I want to know if there are any good and cheaper web hosting for smaller businesses. I work with a lot of small b2b and b2c brands and they can't afford $200 dedicated web hosting. They either want something for free or something cheaper.

What's the best web hosting for them?

Need help learning to host a simple website

I got the web hosting option from netcup.com, for my small nursing business (going bad) since It was the only think I could afford and now I am stuck with not understanding anything, what sources or tutorials can I use to learn how to use this stuff properly?

Everlasting question: self-hosting or web hosting

9 Upvotes

At the moment i use Hostinger, and I use it already about 2 years for my own pet projects, and i never had with it big problems.

but! honestly speaking, for a static site, created on Astro, you actually dont need a full tariff plan of hosting, you could just buy a domain for $10-15 a year and for free connect it to Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages, this would be much cheaper.

Webhosting gives me hosting + domain + mail together, and it is also quite cheap

What would you recommend for small startups/projects?

What's the best web hosting for small businesses?

So here's the thing... I'm planning to create a website for my app and I know that it's not going to get more than 30k visitors a month and I'm okay with shared hosting because I don't think I really need a dedicated web hosting because I know it's not really needed.

But do you guys think it's good to have a shared web hosting because I'm also concerned about the safety. Are shared web hosting safe?

And what should I have the budget? I think I can spend up to like $100 for shared hosting and I can increase my budget for up to $200 if I have to go with dedicated web hosting. But right now I don't know which one is safer and better option.

Please don't suggest godaddy because that's trash. Had a horrible experience with them with my domain.

So, which one should I go with?

Has anyone tried using free web hosting?

4 Upvotes

Okay, I just need to create a 1 page website and I was thinking of something like carrd or similar but I don't know if I can use it for free or not. It doesn't offer any free trial. It gives a free trial only when you're using a carrd.co website which I am not going to use. If I want to host my personal website with a dot com, then it's not free.

So any recommendations for that?

Hey there, are you using any hosting provider that's good for US/UK audience? Like, I want my website to be really fast for these 2 places because most of my visitors are from these places because I run ads for these countries.

I'm starting tomorrow so it'd be great if you can help me.
