The best hosting in the world. The official rating of the best hosting and an overview of those with whom I have personally worked. Which hosting is better to choose

Good afternoon to all those who have landed on this page. As you probably already understood from the title, the topic of today's article is the best hosting for sites in Russia.

I decided to raise this issue, since all my friends and readers often turn to me with it. It is understandable, because nowadays more and more people create various online projects, and many need the advice of an experienced webmaster.

It so happened that I have been doing it for five years now. During this period, I had to change more than a dozen different hostings.

But why didn't I sit on one? There are several reasons:

• Inexperience. As a beginner, I did not understand at all what to look for when choosing a hosting;
• Price. I was not ready to spend a lot of money on my projects at once;
• Growth of projects. As projects grew, new needs arose;
• Technology. Over time, new technologies appear on the market that work faster and better and have a better price.

Actually, now I will conduct a detailed analysis of the main hosting parameters, share my reviews and my personal opinion so that you, dear readers, do not have to face all these problems. Our today's rating will help you choose one hosting and work with it for a long time without unnecessary difficulties and worries.

1. Beginners

Many people who are planning to create their own website know that for this they first of all need hosting and a domain, but not everyone knows the definition of these words. So I'll try to explain what it is in simple words.

• Hosting is a server that allows you to give access to information (on the site). Imagine a computer that works around the clock and is constantly connected to the Internet. This is where your site is stored.
• Domain (domain name) - the address of your site. Domain on my blog: website

It should be understood that hosting plays an important role in the development of any Internet resource, download speed and stability of work depend on it. After all, no one wants to be on a site that takes a long time to load and periodically does not work.

And vice versa, the faster and more stable the work, the better your resource is promoted in search engines.

Why You Shouldn't Choose Free Hosting

Also, all beginners should clearly understand that you should not choose free hosting for the site. It would be much wiser to sign up for a hosting with a trial period. And all because free providers have a number of significant disadvantages, such as:

• Third party advertising on your site;
• Low load limit;
• Terrible technical support;
• Reduced functionality;
• And a whole host of negative characteristics.

2. How to choose hosting for the site

Next, we will talk about the main parameters that you should pay attention to. There will be a lot of them, and if you do not want to delve into all these details, then you can simply trust my rating and choose from it the hosting that occupies the first positions.

Hosting Quality Characteristics

1. Service cost is one of the most important factors. "How much does hosting cost?" is the first question to be asked. You can see the same services at different providers at completely different prices. The host should not be very cheap and very expensive, otherwise you can think about whether he is honest with clients.
2. Data center location(server). Make sure the server is as close as possible to your clients. For example, if you operate in Russia, then you should host on Russian hosting. This step will help increase the speed of loading the site.
3. Bonuses and discounts. Initially, this may seem like just a “nice addition”, but if you delve deeper into the analysis, you will notice that some hosting providers offer prices much lower if you pay for services for a year in advance. Thus, you can save about 5-15%.
4. Test period. Really good hosting companies are not afraid to give customers a free trial period, because their owners do not doubt the quality of their services and are confident that new users should be completely satisfied with everything. The average period that you can get for a free trial is 1 month.
5. Support quality. It is difficult even for an experienced webmaster to do without high-quality and timely support. Truly high-quality support will never leave you in a difficult situation and will do everything in its power to help solve the problem. Also a good indicator of support is the response speed, ideally it should be from 15 minutes to an hour, bad is when you have to wait more than two hours for a response.
6. Company official. It is worth paying attention to such things as the presence of a telephone, documents confirming their activities. They can guarantee you that the company will not disappear one day.
7. Reviews. If you are really serious about finding the best hosting, then be sure to use the universal rule for everyone: check reviews. Moreover, it is better to do this in several places, so as not to be deceived.
8. Company age. The longer a company operates, the more you can rely on it.

Technical and functional characteristics

1. Reliability(uptime) - this parameter tells us how stable the hosting is. It is measured as a percentage and depends on the continuity of work throughout the year. An uptime of more than 99.9% would be considered a good indicator. The rest of the time, hosting may be unavailable due to technical work.
2. Technical features. If you have a dynamic site (for example, a CMS, a la WordPress), you need hosting with PHP support. Its version is important, for example version 7.* works several times faster than its predecessor. You should not choose hostings that support PHP version below 5.6. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that some scripts require specific extensions on the server. So, what must be present for a dynamic site:
   1. FTP & SSH access;
   2. SSD, not regular drives;
   3. PHP version >= 5.6;
   4. MySQL version >= 5.4.
3. Hosting panel is a hosting management interface. It is worth understanding that appearance panels are not only a matter of taste, but also of convenience, which is so necessary for beginners. Here I also want to note that the vast majority of panels are intuitive.
4. Backup frequency. Backup is a backup of files and databases. A very important thing that can be compared with an insurance pole: you should always have it just in case.
5. Limits on the number of databases and sites. Most hosts require additional payment for the creation of additional databases and sites, more than the amount initially indicated. If you plan to create several projects, then you should pay attention to this.
6. Memory. An important parameter for those people who are planning to create projects containing a large number of media files. For a simple information site or blog, even 100 megabytes is enough for a couple of years. In any case, for an additional fee, you can always expand the amount of disk space.
7. Free SSL certificate. It is needed for more secure communication in case people leave personal data on your site, for example, they register. It also gives a green line "Reliable" in the browser bar. Now such a certificate is on almost every self-respecting site. Many hosting providers provide them to their users for free. Why not save an extra $5-10 a year?

I have not listed all the options. The rest of the characteristics of the vast majority of hosting are the same.

3. Rating of hosting providers 2018 in Russia

In my top, only the highest quality hostings are selected, whose quality parameters are at the highest level relative to many others, but now let's find out which provider is the best of the best?

Hello friends! We continue to deal with questions on the creation of the site. In the last part, we learned . Today we will talk about what kind of hosting to choose for the site and where to buy it.

I will tell you what characteristics you need to pay attention to and I will review the TOP 7 hosting providers from which you can easily choose the best way for your project in terms of price and quality.

I will not dive deep into the technical aspects, so even a beginner will understand.

To choose the best hosting option, you need to understand the site with what characteristics you are going to place on it.

For most who make a site from scratch, any of the cheapest shared hosting will do. For example, Beget.ru (1 month free). Because young sites do not have high traffic and load.

I do not advise you to immediately buy an expensive powerful server. Start with the simplest, then as the load grows, you can easily upgrade the tariff or move to another hosting.

Think about it when hosting can't handle the load. I transfer my information sites to dedicated servers after they reach 20,000 visitors per day.

I propose to start the selection with the initial data. I understand that most modern hostings support any site characteristics and this section is essentially useless, but still, let's figure it out.

Site characteristics

What site are you going to create?

Site Type

All other characteristics depend on the type. If you are creating a simple project: a blog, an information site, a project business card or a personal portfolio, a landing page, an online store, then you do not need high performance, any of those listed in this article will do.

If you are going to make a portal or service where you will upload heavy data or complex computational algorithms, then a simple virtual hosting may not be enough. In this case, I can advise you to take a VPS or a dedicated server.

Load

Hosting load is expressed in units such as CP. CP is an abstract value that is calculated in many ways. In simple terms, it depends on how many users access the resources (data) of the site, and how much these resources consume server power when used.

When the site is young or under development, this load cannot be estimated. In other cases, you go to the reports and see what load is on your resource daily.

Volume

Volume is the amount of storage for site data, like the size hard drive on the computer. You can find it out if you already have a website ready for launch.

For example, a landing page weighs up to 3 MB on average. If you are making an information site that will be updated daily with content (articles and photos), then 1-2 GB will definitely be enough for the next year or two.

The problem is that beginners do not know how to optimize data, thus uploading very heavy files to the site and managing to spend all the disk space that they have to buy in a month.

For 4 years of blogging, I used only 1.5 GB. Come to me, I will teach you how to optimize content correctly so that the pages load quickly and do not load the hosting.

Platform (CMS)

Another parameter that you need to know is what engine your site is on and whether it is supported by hosting. If WordPress, Bitrix, Joomla or another popular CMS, then you don't have to worry. All hosts support them.

We estimate our parameters, taking into account plans for the future, and choose the necessary hosting based on them.

Hosting Features

What else to look for when choosing the best host?

Test period

All normal providers provide a test period from 1 week to several months. This allows us to get acquainted with all the functionality, stability of work and launch the site without investments.

Location of data centers

According to the law on personal data (152-FZ), all databases of sites that collect personal data of Russian users (phone numbers, e-mail, names, surnames, and so on) must be stored on the territory Russian Federation. Otherwise, access to your site in Russia may be blocked.

When choosing a hosting, look at where its data centers are located.

Interface

An individual parameter that only you can evaluate. How convenient and intuitive is the personal account with all the functions and settings.

Technical support

The speed and quality of support response is an important factor of choice. When working with hosting, there are often situations when technical support is needed.

Variety and flexibility of tariffs

Considering your goals and plans for the future, see if there is an opportunity to increase the performance characteristics of a hosting without moving to another one.

Don't get free hosting

There are so-called free hostings, I would even say shareware, because free cheese happens you know where.

Such providers do different things, they can show their ads on your site and thus monetize, they do not bear any responsibility for data problems, technical support can take a long time to answer or demand many times more for a tariff upgrade with a lack of performance.

If you just want to practice making websites, then use it, but I don’t recommend it for serious projects.

Write in the comments which host you chose and why.

In the next part, I will show you how to buy hosting with an example.

The main problem now is the most reliable provider, because no one wants to lose the information and traffic stored on the server due to constant interruptions in the availability of the site. Therefore, it is worth focusing primarily on the age of the hosting, i.e., how long it has been “afloat”, but not choosing a provider based on the monthly cost.

Also, we do not recommend giving preference to free options. They are suitable only for a novice webmaster who is just learning how to make simple sites and does not want to get into all the subtleties of CMS (engines). It makes it easier to understand how to transfer a domain, how to load a website, etc. For more experienced professionals, paid hosting is the best option.

Hosting Rating: Verified Providers of 2019

Interruptions in work, poor download speed, lack of adequate technical support - all these are constant companions of bad hosting. And here is a list of quality indicators of a good provider:

• Perl, PHP, ASP, CGI, htaccess support;
• Plenty of disk space;
• Multiple sites are allowed;
• Powerful and fast server.

The hosting rating 2019 in Russia will help you navigate in all its diversity.

The best option for a young site is BEGET

Beget— hosting is inexpensive and quite functional. A big plus is the availability of operational technical support, ready to help. On average, waiting for a response is not delayed for a period of more than half an hour. On the market since 2007 has since won an excellent reputation.


The interface is extremely clear and convenient - to use hosting, there is no need to understand the instructions or googling for a long time. It is optimal for a novice webmaster, since it supports the WordPress CMS, which is popular with beginners, as well as Bitrix, Joomla, Drupal, MODx and others. 4 basic tariffs are named:

• Blog
• start;
• noble;
• Great.

Their main difference is in the allowable load, the amount of hard disk space and the number of sites that can be hosted. The average price is 135 rubles per month. Among other services: virtual hosting, VIP hosting, domain registration. If the tariff is paid for a year in advance, the client receives from 1 to 5 domains (depending on the chosen tariff plan) in the .ru zone for free. Site transfer is free.

Distinctive features:

1. Compatible with popular CMS;
2. Uptime 99.8%, can handle loads up to 65 CP/day;
3. New functions are constantly added, the interface is being finalized;
4. The test period is 30 days. At the moment, the longest among competitors.

Universal and diverse REG.RU

Provider REG.RU on the market since 2006. Just recently, hosting has released a mobile application that allows users to easily manage the site without even being at a PC.


Differs in versatility: it is optimal for both a small blog and a large online store. Customers are offered 3 control panels, 6 tariffs and 3 vip programs to choose from. In general, everything is as simple and convenient as possible. The average monthly cost is about 186 rubles.

If you use this promo code C176-242F-5BC8-F5FE when registering for REG RU, you will get a 5% discount.

Bonuses: free SSL certificate, extended file system, the ability to select any control panel. All tariffs have automatic protection against DDoS attacks, built-in antivirus and even their own website builder.

Maximum benefit with minimum payment - HOSTLAND

Provider Hostland pleases with a loyal approach to the formation of value tariff plans: on average, 399 rubles per month will cost the most expensive of the proposed tariffs. Using it, the webmaster gets 20 Gb of free disk space and an unlimited amount of MySQL, which will allow the owner to create several more sites on this hosting, which can be easily and conveniently managed through an unlimited number of databases.

The most budgetary tariff is 119 rubles. The site is easy to understand, a nice bonus will be SSL certification, which is already included in the price of any of the available tariff plans. Additional hosting features:

• Setting up and transferring a site from a third-party hosting is free of charge;
• Compatibility with php 7;
• There is an Ai-Bolit antivirus scanner.

To start using the trial period, just visit the provider's website, enter your email address in the field and that's it. No more gestures, the account will be activated instantly.

The optimal combination of quality and cost, coupled with convenience - TIMEWEB

timeweb has earned its place in the TOP of the best hosting in Russia due to the availability of favorable rates: the most budgetary for 129 rubles per month, the most expensive for 450 rubles. At the same time, each comes with a domain as a gift. It has been operating on the Russian market since 2006 and does not slow down even now. According to statistics, every month the provider increases its client base by 4 thousand people, today more than 150 thousand webmasters use its services.


The company is trying to offer users new items, of the latest - the ability to group accounts. Now it is much more convenient to switch between different accounts by pressing just one key. The downside is the need for a separate payment for an SSL certificate.

Description of features:

1. Powerful servers that provide a high load threshold;
2. Large limit of free memory;
3. Is there a good website builder?
4. Support for 5.3-5.6 versions of php, Python and Perl;
5. Disk space can be expanded at the request of the client;
6. All sites run on SSD drives, which are many times better and faster than outdated HDDs.

The downside is the slow work of the support service, you will have to wait at least a day for an answer here.

Hostinger with unlimited traffic

Provider Hostinger offers customers to use any of 3 tariffs: "Simple", "Premium" and "Business". The second and third options allow you to use unlimited resources in your work. This is not only unlimited traffic, but also disk space, the number of sites and accounts. VPS price range from 296 rubles. up to 4000 rub.

Hosting allows you to work with a convenient and intuitive panel, where you have access to all the necessary options from the file editor to instant CMS installation. If a client needs to create a simple landing or business card, it is convenient to use the integration with the website builder. As in many other hostings, here a free domain is issued when you pay for hosting for a year or more (the exception is the purchase of the basic starting tariff “Simple”).

SPRINTHOST is another option for beginners

SprintHost is the provider that closes the hosting rating of 2019 and, to be honest, has not even been in the TOP-30 for a long time. You will not find so much tyranny in any hoster. The service management is not clear what they think and regularly throw out some unpleasant surprises to their customers.

On the Internet you can find a lot of reviews about what comrades from St. Petersburg go down to just to get more money from their clients for ugly services rendered. Everything written below was published when the sprinthost was even more or less normal.

Focuses on the needs of novice webmasters, so I developed basic tariffs worth 98, 298, 498 rubles and a premium option.

So simple and a budget option great for a small blog or online store. An interesting feature host can be called the Nginx UP module, which shows the degree of file loading. Additionally, users may be offered to rent VDS and servers.


If the client needs more disk space, alas, it will have to be purchased separately. Therefore, the provider's tariff plans lack flexibility. In such a situation, the client will be forced to switch to another tariff, which will not suit everyone.

Other available options include:

• Virtual hosting;
• You can get a free domain if you pay the tariff for a year in advance;
• There is good technical support, users can ask questions over the phone at any time of the day;
• If a person moves from another hosting, he is given two months as a bonus free service at SPRINTHOST.

Hosting prices are lower than market prices, which undoubtedly attracts.

How to choose the best hosting for your needs?

Based on this rating of hosting providers, each webmaster will be able to choose the best one for himself. As you can see, the issue of cost is far from the main criterion that you should focus on. A modest cost is usually limited functionality, and an overpriced monthly fee does not yet guarantee a full set of options required for operation.

You need to look for a provider that has an affordable price and that meets your needs. One cannot do without practical testing of a particular service. In practice, for young resources, Beget or HostLand is more often used, although webmasters with experience also prefer the first option. By the way, this site (site) is also located on beget.ru . In any case, the ideal hoster is always honest with his clients, he has round-the-clock support, and there is no need to pay extra for basic services “from above”. He has a good uptime, and even if technical failures occur, he is ready to compensate users for the inconvenience caused.

We invite you to watch another video version of the TOP 10 providers rating (where exactly Beget takes 1st place):

wassaaabi

Which hosting is better to choose?

When choosing a hosting or a specific tariff, you need to start from the task pursued. Price is one factor, but not the most important. The main indicators are the reliability of work and the quality of technical support. The quality of both in the process of site administration will be noticeably greater than everything else. As a rule, control panels are more or less convenient everywhere. The set of scripts and the ability to install popular CMS up to the dedicated tariffs for them are also approximately the same everywhere. The hardware is not the same, but SSD drives are used almost everywhere. The main point is the resource allocation policy of a particular hoster. The higher the overload threshold, the better for you. You should also pay attention to the stability of the mail server.

It stands out from our selection - a reliable global provider with great functionality, strong technical support and an affordable price level. Also, AdminVPS, Sweb look good in terms of cost and features. Take any of them, as long as there are enough resources for the task on the selected tariff plan.

Focus on the reputation and reviews of hosters, especially the negative ones. Everyone has something of the shortcomings, moreover, we ask you not to attribute the inflated cost to those. A couple of dollars in one direction or the other will not play a role, if your site “lies” for several hours a couple of times a week, you will lose more due to lost profits.

Can I use free hosting?

Free hosting is more of a marketing than an offer worth using. Such offers exist only so that customers, feeling the limitations of a free plan, switch to a paid one. Moreover, you will not understand the level of quality of a paid service on a Free account. A truncated amount of traffic, low page loading speed, ignoring by technical support, lack of basic features, intrusive advertising and other delights await users on "free" hosting.

It is better use free trial periods- many hosts provide full-featured test periods (Timeweb has a 10-day free trial). During this time, all features will be available to you without the need to pay. Install engines, test their work, try individual functions that are important for your project. Drive the server up and down as you like without restrictions.

We recommend that you immediately discard the idea of ​​​​using free hosting from your head. After all, sooner or later you will have to transfer the site to a normal hosting. In addition, many providers, upon request to support, extend the test period if you do not have enough time to decide. Thus, you will know exactly what awaits you after paying the tariff, and you will be able to make an informed decision on whether to buy or refuse hosting services.

Choosing a hosting, given the range of providers and services, is not such an easy task. Most often, before starting work, you will not understand what a hoster is. In the process, nuances emerge that are not reflected in any way in the description, tariffs and advertising. You can navigate by reviews - this is perhaps the best option. Or a rating review like ours - it shows really noteworthy options.

- considered the best foreign hosting, if the site is created for foreign users, then it is worth using Bluehost. The prices are the same as those of Russian providers, but the limits are higher, they provide more resources and, most importantly, you can count on bulletproofness. The system automatically makes backups within the framework of virtual hosting. Spam and DDoS protection is very good.

We recommend choosing a provider with good reviews and good technical support. The quality and speed of customer service are top criteria that you should pay attention to. As a rule, for services with good technical support, everything else is also organized at a decent level. Cost is a secondary factor, since it differs from competitors not very noticeably and does not always reflect the quality of the service. More expensive is not always better. Well, vice versa.
