How to choose the best hosting for an online store?

Every businessman who plans to create a growing business or wants to significantly expand it faces the same question – How to choose the best hosting for an online store? Immediately exclude the free option, as it will greatly limit your capabilities. In fact, when choosing a hosting service, you should understand that you are creating a "springboard" from which you will make a "jump" to success. The starting jump will depend on the reliability of this "springboard".

Disadvantages of free hosting:

• You will not be able to disable ads, due to which a free hosting service is provided.
• Your online store will have a third-level domain, which will negatively affect the trust of search engines, and as a result, it will complicate promotion.
• Free hosting services do not guarantee performance and reliability – you are not immune from server "crashes", which will lead to downtime.
• Do you want to be afraid for your information safety every time? Free hosting will give you a dose of adrenaline – you will never know whether all the changes and the added products have been saved.
• The amount of available space is very limited, and information processing speed is even more limited.
• The number of options for administration tends to zero.
• The operation speed is very low.

Do you really want to get the profit from your online store? Then forget about free hosting services forever!

 

VPS hosting for the online store is the "golden" future of business

 
The counterweight of free hosting is VPS – a truly powerful and balanced tool that combines flexibility and ease of settings management. By ordering a Linux VPS, you get a hosting that is completely adjustable to your needs – configure it the way you and your applications need it.

 
An undoubted plus is root access, which allows you to make any changes, install programs and configure the server at your discretion. There are many different tariffs that can be selected individually, depending on the size of the online store, the required update speed, pre-installed programs, etc.

How to choose fast hosting for the online store?

There are several small, but important parameters that will tell you that you are facing reliable hosting:

• Before buying the service, be sure to check the speed of technical support response to your request – in case of problems, you will need the most prompt response and recommendations for fixing the situation.
• Use cloud storage — it allows you to set up collaboration and save data even in case of a hardware failure.
• Daily backups — it will never be superfluous to insure yourself.
• Optional — settings flexibility degree, if you need to change not only files but also software, an operating system kernel, and device drivers.
• Pay attention to the hosting uptime – the server's uptime should be at least 99.9%, i.e. no more than 50 minutes of downtime per month.

 

 
The most important aspect that is often forgotten by those who start their business on the Internet – is site loading speed. This is one of the factors that affect a behavioral schedule and customer loyalty – no one wants to wait an extra couple of seconds, trying to get what they want right away, here, and now.

Important:
Reliable hosting should have the most modern hardware since about 67% of the problems with downloading are on its side. One machine can run several virtual servers, it all depends on its capacity. Each virtual server allows you to exercise control similar to a normal physical server.

 
Some figures:

• According to research, 30% of visitors will close the site if its loading time exceeds 4 seconds.
• About 53% of sites from the E-commerce segment have lost their customers due to low performance and hosting instability.

Please note that hosting must be scalable and easily regulated – if you advertise your online store, the flow of customers will increase dramatically, and the hosting must withstand the increased traffic.

Parallel and continuous development

As in life, all parts of your business must develop simultaneously. The same applies to Internet commerce: hosting should keep up with your business, have a reserve for growth, and should not become a problem over time. Maximum flexibility and the ability to configure all functions, even the smallest ones, is an individual approach that allows you to make your site unique and as convenient as possible from the functionality point of view.
