So, in this video I'm going to be sharing my top 3 best web hosting providers that are also cheap.
And, while every single provider on this list offers top-notch performance for a low price they
all use different pricing models. So, watch till the end to find out which ones work best for you
First up is InterServer, a company that has been around since 1999 but escaped the
radar of most consumers by being overpowered in marketing by giant corporations like HostGator,
Bluehost or GoDaddy. InterServer is offering cheap and flexible hosting especially when
you consider all of the extra features that the plan includes. One huge advantage of InterServer
is that they don't require you to pay hundreds of dollars up front. You can be billed $5 each month.
You see, most web hosting companies advertise monthly prices but they either only offer 1 year,
2 year or 3 year subscription periods, where you pay the full period up front, or worse...
Their monthly prices are 2 times or 3 times higher than the yearly ones. Forcing you to
pay a lot more if you want to be billed monthly. This of course doesn't happen with InterServer.
And if you're ready to get started I'll leave a discount links in the description for every
single provider that I talk about you can get even better deals because I usually negotiate
special discounts just for my viewers. These videos take an incredibly long time to properly
test, research script and then film and if I want to keep my content honest I can only
monetize through affiliate commissions. So, not only will you get a discount but you'll support
my future content as well. I'll be able to make more high quality, well researched and
edited videos for your pleasure! Thank you for the support and let's get back to the video.
So, another huge advantage when it comes to pricing at InterServer is their price lock
guarantee which makes you completely immune to any price increases in the future. For example,
recently SiteGround has almost doubled their prices and everyone that was using SiteGround
had to pay the increased price because it's in their terms of service. They can change
the price any time and you'll be forced to pay the increased amount or switch. InterServer
makes your account immune to any further price increases upon purchase, the amount you pay when
signing up is the amount your account has locked in! Their standard shared web hosting plan is a
1 size fits all and actually it's probably enough for like 90% of website owners. Because
for the price that you're paying, you're getting quite a lot of resources and premium features.
What if I need more storage space, you might ask? Well, it's unlimited at InterServer. Okay, maybe
I'll need more traffic? Nope, still unlimited. More email accounts? My dude it's unlimited.
But... but what about SSL, Content Delivery, Backups and... shhhh.. calm down... calm down...
everything's fine.. everything you need is included for $5 a month, you're getting
every premium feature there is. I've used the InterServer automatic installation software to
create a basic WordPress site that looks something like this within 5 to 10 minutes. I wanted to test
out their loading speed. So, this website loaded in 1.3 seconds and had a 0.2 second time to first
byte response, which is an incredibly fast result. Most providers charge you anywhere from $20 to
$50 a month for plans that are this fast. The only real problem with InterServer if you choose to go
with it is their control panel, that's a bit outdated. Here's how it looks in the back end
while it does use the standard cPanel that you can reach quite easily it's just not something
that's easy to get used to if you've used a modern control panel before. And in my opinion, their
control panel is by far the weakest link. Overall, you're just getting a good set of features for
a good price and you can be billed a small amount each month while getting exceptionally
good performance. InterServer isn't like a super well-known company but they do have their own data
centers and the people behind the company seem to care more about customers than profits. If you're
interested in InterServer you can get started with the discount links in the description and
if you want to know more I have a full InterServer review that you can find right about here, here.
Another company that's getting traction quite fast by offering cheap and powerful web hosting plans
is Hostinger. The focus point of Hostinger is their newest technology like Litespeed servers,
Google Cloud infrastructure, PHP 7.4 and HTTP/2 support while offering extremely cheap plans.
Their single hosting plan starts at $0.99 a month but you can get that price down even lower
to just $0.89 a month by using the links down below with the coupon code EMITREVIEWS.
However, there is a catch unlike InterServer, Hostinger only offers low prices if you're buying
for a long period of time like 3 or 4 years in advance. So, you need to invest a larger sum up
front then you can stop worrying about your web hosting costs for the years to come a 4 year plan
with one website will cost you $47 and it will renew at $103 after 4 years with Hostinger. You
also get pretty much everything you need to get started 10 GB storage space is plenty for 1 site,
a free SSL to encrypt your site 100 GBs of bandwidth will also allow you to have anywhere
from 15 000 to 25 000 unique visitors per month depending on your website size of course. You even
get to register a free website name at the time of making this video, they own their own data centers
they have their own infrastructure and they have developed their own control panel even though it's
a bit slower than cPanel...it's cheaper. In terms of performance even the cheapest plan holds up
quite well I'm testing the exact same website as with InterServer and I'm using an SSL certificate,
Litespeed cache and the latest PHP 7.4 version. My Hostinger website is loaded in 1.6 seconds with
time to first byte of 0.4 seconds. Slower than InterServer but keep in mind this is on a plan
that's $1 a month. But in general Hostinger offers really good performance the control panel is also
awesome they keep investing in new technology and new innovations if you want to get yourself
some cheap and reliable web hosting you can do so from the links in the description and use
the coupon code EMITREVIEWS. You'll get an extra 10% off your order saving you even more money.
And the last provider that I will recommend is a bit different Cloudways is a more powerful
solution that does require some degree of technical knowledge but if you set it up
properly you'll get hundreds of dollars worth of performance by spending just a couple of bucks.
Cloudways allows you to rent a virtual private server from the top providers like Google or
Amazon and set everything up for you. They also give you an easy to use control panel to manage
your server and website signing up is absolutely free and you don't even need a credit card,
you only need a phone number and an email address. And, you can try their service completely free
of charge for 3 days just to get a feel if it's something that you're interested in.
Controlling your Cloudways server is as easy as controlling your shared hosting account and
you do get a free SSL certificate, a firewall and automated website updates thrown in for free. But
what makes Cloudways truly cheap is that they use an hourly billing system and you only have to pay
for what you use. You can manually manage how powerful you want your server to be using this
slider and you'll only pay for the storage and bandwidth you take up on their servers.
Well or the ones you're renting... Meaning if you don't have many visitors, you're not using
up much resources you'll barely have to pay anything. The Cloudways resource management
system makes so that you never need to worry about your website upgrades because just using these
sliders you can make your website use more or less resources and your price will change accordingly.
Of course you can always check what you're paying for by going into the real-time billing section
and seeing just exactly what they're taking your money for. Since Cloudways is offering VPS or
virtual private servers you can expect better than average performance for a fraction of the cost.
The extra power you get is great for running ecommerce stores so I did the exact same test
as I did with Hostinger and InterServer. And Cloudways was the fastest out of all of them!
With a surprising 1.2 second loading time and just 0.2 second time to first bite. While all
three companies on this list offer better than average performance for the fraction of the cost
which one should you choose? Well in my opinion if you just want to pay a small amount each month and
cancel any time if you don't like the service go for InterServer. If you're not afraid of upfront
costs go with Hostinger, of course you will have to commit for at least 3 or 4 years but the prices
are generally lowest you will get anywhere for the service that they're providing. You'll get
to use the newest technologies and a modern control panel with all of the premium features
and if you want something with more power and complete control over what you're paying for go
with Cloudways. You'll enjoy their hourly billing based on resource usage and of course you'll have
the best possible performance because you'll be using a virtual private server that's dedicated
all completely to you and of course it comes with the added benefit that you'll never overpay
because you're only paying for what you're using. For now, my name is Emit and subscribe for more
