Want to host websites? But don’t want to go with AWS and Shared Hosting? Here is the alternative of Shared hosting and AWS.
The problem with AWS Cost, Yes, you read right AWS is costly even if you are using very minimal it will cost you minimum $8. Because they are charging multiple things such as EC2, Elastic IP, and bandwidth based on region wise and Inbound and Outbound data transfer.
If you are going to use just for Hosting of your website then AWS is not the right choice.
We know that AWS provides many services at single place. That is good if your application requires those service. But what if you don’t need those service? It will cost you too much.
Problem with shared hosting, The problem with shared hosting is limited resources and shareable resources. Many hosting companies host 1000’s websites on the single server. Which slows down your site performance. Also, there are few hosting company which suspends your account if your website/application using too many resources. And if you are a developer and want to customize your server then on shared hosting you can’t do this. Because you don’t have root access.
Go to Cloud Hosting
After several of research, I found 2 organization which provides Cloud server with SSD which means 10x more performance compared to traditional storage devices. Laravel Hosting is one such example of better hosting.
Linode & vultr is an organization which provides you 1 GB of RAM, 1CPU core and 1 TB bandwidth at just $5.
Linode provides you 20 GB storage and but Vultr provide you 25GB storage but Vultr’s billing cycle is 28 Days based.
