The surge in remote work due to the global pandemic has accelerated massive move to cloud with cloud-first organizations outnumbering on-prem 3-1, per a study by analytics firm Devo Technology.
Some of the numbers reported by Cloud Computing News from the study indicate 81% of organizations claim that COVID had accelerated their cloud timelines and plans; a 200% jump in organizations planning to move more than 75% of their apps/workloads to the cloud, with 86% of companies placing cloud options in their decision process for new applications, and; more than 40% choosing the cloud as their first option.
Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst and ESG fellow, said, “It could not be more clear from our conversations with these companies that cloud considerations are no longer a project-based decision, but an ‘all-in’ business strategy."
I mostly have a hosting account for pointing domains that I use for mail, or static pages. But, I also have three very low-volume WordPress sites. So with that in mind, I'm comparing the $2.50 - $3.00/month shared space.
I had been using the $3.50 tier over on Amazon LightSail, but was kind of hoping to not be my own admin.
So far, I've tried the following:
HostMantis - Super happy with the service and performance on the DA Advanced plan, but thought the ratejacking the day after most of the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales ended was particularly sleazy. The response I got when I basically offered to pre-pay for a year at my current rate was met with a response that was slightly more polite than telling me to FOAD. I get it. They want out of "cheapest-you-can-get-me" hosting.
CrocWeb - They seem like nice people. Their support was responsive. But I somehow pegged the CPU resources with just one WP site with no traffic and super basic plugins. The nominal usage -- just sitting there doing nothing -- somehow consumed 30% CPU on the Baby Croc plan.
InterServer - They also seem quite nice, but they really limit you on I/O. Try any large-ish transfer, and everything grinds to a halt at 4 megabits. You can feel WP kind of cry, and I had to tinker with Duplicator just to keep it from timing out when making a backup.
NameCheap - The Stellar Plus plan mostly reminds me of HostMantis in terms of performance. Everything runs great there, and I don't seem to come even close to hitting resource constraints. But something is hopelessly broken with their mail, and I can't seem to lead their support people into having someone figure out why there's a massive backlog. Their support people try, but it's kind of like live chat with retail companies, where you know the person on the other end is trying to juggle multiple customers at once. I don't really need top-tier mail, so it's one of those things where if the sites work, I'll probably just figure out something else for mail and keep the $2.50 hosting.
I'm hoping there may be some suggestions out there from my fellow cheapskates. Recognizing that I'm a tiny guppy in an ocean of choice, I don't think I'm looking for anything extremely out of line for the price: Need:
More than 20 domains
5 GB storage
Enough resource headroom for 3 - 4 low-traffic and simple WP sites
I have optimized my sites' keywords but the ranking still not improve much and I'm planning to do Social Media Marketing as well. Do you have any advice and suggestion for me?
Hello, I'm looking for free tool so that I can check the website ranking easily on Google as now I am checking the ranking of those keywords manually and this takes more time.
