As you can see here, I have 3 different web hosting plans from Hostinger. The startup
,which is their cloud hosting for $9.99 a month. The single plan for $1.39 a month
and their premium plan for $2.59 a month. So, in this video I'll try to see if different plans
have different loading speed, how many visitors can each plan handle and give you some general
recommendations about which plan you should go for if you're choosing Hostinger. So,
single and premium plans are shared hosting. However, the startup plan is cloud hosting,
what's the difference? So, when it comes to shared web hosting think of it as a
hotel room when you buy a plan you're only renting a room in it. There's actually other
people living around you and you all share the same building. However, cloud hosting is like
buying a piece of land. You can build whatever you want on that land without limitations,
the biggest advantage of this is that you can have more people visit your website. Because you have
more resources and just more space. The single plan comes with 1 CPU core and 256 MB of RAM.
The premium plan comes with 1 CPU core and 512 MB of RAM. However, the startup plan comes with 2 CPU
cores and 3 000 MB of RAM, making it around 10 times as powerful as the shared hosting options.
Okay, okay 10 times, 15 times 20 times more powerful... We've all seen the marketing material.
But, what's the point? What does it actually mean, does your website really need those resources
or are you fine with less? How much power and resources does a regular website actually need?
Well in short, when a user comes onto your website they take up a small amount of RAM
let's say around 7 MB per user. So, in theory you can only have 35 people on at the same time with
the cheapest plan before you run out of memory. 70 people with the premium plan and a crazy
428 people with the startup plan. So, simply choose based on your expected visitors. But
keep in mind these are visitors that are coming in at the same time, remember what I said about
web hosting being your room. An unlimited amount of people can actually visit your room but not all
at the same time. Okay, so we've determined how many visitors can each plan realistically handle
at the same time. But what about loading speed? Does this also change with the amount of resources
that you have? Super quick, before we get into my test results, I do want to mention
that you can get the biggest discount online which is an additional 10% OFF for any plan
by using the links in the description together with the code EMITREVIEWS. Well, I've created a
WordPress website on all 3 plans and then tested the loading speed to see if there's a difference
at all. Oh and here's how the website looks by the way. It's full of images, text, videos animations
and obviously there are no optimizations just the default out of the box install.
Interestingly enough, there's virtually no difference in speed the cheapest plan fully
loaded in 0.82s and the server took just 0.14s to respond. This is incredibly fast and no way this
should be available at a plan that's this cheap, but the premium plan fully loaded in just 0.9s
and the server took 0.15s to respond. While cloud hosting fully loaded in 0.77s and the server took
0.15s to respond as well. As you can see there's virtually no difference, that means that it
doesn't matter which plan you choose the speed will be the same. And it's fast, as long as you're
not hitting those user caps that I talked about earlier. And of course all plans come with the
same premium features like their custom control panel which they call the hPanel to manage your
server and you can create custom email addresses to look more professional online. Another really
quick answer about the plans, I always get the question: which should I buy, WordPress hosting
or regular hosting? When it comes to Hostinger there's practically no difference get the one
that's cheaper at the time. This depends on which sales that you have going on, by the way if you
want to buy a Hostinger plan you can click the link in the description and use the coupon code
EMITREVIEWS to get an extra 10% your order. This is the biggest discount available online!
