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:

- Uptime 99.8%, can handle loads up to 65 CP/day;
- New functions are constantly added, the interface is being finalized;
- 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.
It is versatile: 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 choose 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 will please with a loyal approach to the formation of the cost of tariff plans: on average, 399 rubles per month will be 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:
- Powerful servers that provide a high load threshold;
- Large limit of free memory;
- Is there a good website builder?
- Support for 5.3-5.6 versions of php, Python and Perl;
- Disk space can be expanded at the request of the client;
- 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 take 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.
Such a simple and budget option is great for a small blog or online store. An interesting feature of the host is 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 gets two months of free service on SPRINTHOST as a bonus.
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
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 option 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, information site, project business card or personal portfolio, landing page, 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. If to speak in simple terms, then 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 of a hard drive on a 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.
Highly Recommended don't buy too cheap hosting! As a rule, there are a lot of problems with it: the server sometimes does not work, the equipment is old, support takes a long time to respond or cannot solve the problem, the hoster's website is buggy, errors in registration, payment, etc.
We have also collected rates from thousands of hosters so that you can choose hosting at a specific price.
Cloud hosting- distribution of load on several servers, if the server with your site is overloaded or does not work. This ensures that users will be able to see your site anyway. But this is an expensive, more complex option that not all providers provide.
Shared hosting- suitable for most entry-level projects with attendance up to 1000 people per day. In such hosting, the server power is divided between several hosting accounts. The service is easy to set up even for beginners.
VPS- suitable for more complex projects with a sufficiently large load and attendance of up to 10,000 people per day. Here, the server capacity is fixed for each virtual server, while the complexity of the setup increases.
Dedicated server- needed for very complex and resource-intensive projects. A separate server is allocated for you, the power of which will be used only by you. Expensive and difficult to set up.
Accommodation and maintaining your own server in the hosting data center is not a very popular service and is required in exceptional cases.
CMS is a website content management system. Hosters try to make a separate tariff for each of them or simplify the installation. But in general, these are more marketing moves, because. Most popular CMS do not have special hosting requirements, and those that do are supported on most servers.
Test period- provided by the hoster for free for 7-30 days, so that you can verify its quality.
money back- the period during which the hoster undertakes to return the money if you do not like the hosting.
Bulletproof hosting- companies that allow you to post almost any content, even prohibited (spam, warez, doorways, pornographic materials). These companies do not remove your website content on the first complaint (“abuse”).
Unlimited hosting- hosting that has no limits on the number of sites, databases and mailboxes, traffic, disk space, etc. Usually this is more of a marketing gimmick, but you can find something interesting for yourself.
Secure hosting- one where the administration constantly updates the software installed on the servers, installs basic protection against DDoS attacks, antivirus and firewalls, blocks hacked sites and helps to "cure" them.
DDOS protection- companies that provide hosting with DDoS protection. Such packages are significantly more expensive than usual, but they are worth the money, as your site will be protected from all types of network attacks.
Even if you have made a very good site - modern, user-friendly, with great functionality - everything can go down the drain if you place it on a bad hosting. It is on where your site is located that its future fate and the success of its promotion depend. Yes, yes, hosting also plays a role in SEO: bad hosting can significantly damage the reputation of your site, both in the eyes of users and in the eyes of search engines.
There is only one problem - to choose a really good hosting that will meet all your needs and ensure the stable operation of the resource. In this article, we will introduce you to the ten best hosting on the Runet.
What to look for when choosing a hosting
But first, I would like to clarify a little what you need to look for when choosing a hosting if you want to ensure a good promotion of your site in the future. All three of these parameters are very important in terms of SEO.
Uptime to Downtime Ratio (Uptime/Downtime)
The bottom line is: sometimes the server may be unavailable (and your site as a result, too). If at the moment when the site is down, search robots come to it, they will record that the site is not working. And they will go further. As a result, pages may fall out of the index (it will give a 500 error), there will be refusals in ads in Google Adwords contextual advertising. The drop in positions will not keep you waiting, as in the eyes of the search the site will look unstable.
Even if the hosting has a stable operation time of 99.9%, the site will still be unavailable for 7 hours a month. Therefore, do not even consider anything less.
Work speed
It's no secret to anyone that site loading speed is one of the main ranking factors. And if your site takes a long time to load, but you have already optimized everything you can, it's time to ask the hosting provider a question.
Normally, the speed of hosting should be at least 3 seconds. 4-5 seconds is acceptable, but not so good.
But it still depends on which server you are on. If you purchased space on a regular server, then you will share it with several (or several dozen) other sites. And the more neighbors you have, and the more large neighbors, the slower your site will work. Maybe you should initially take a dedicated server for a fee (especially if you expect a large influx of traffic to your site).
Location
It is logical, if you are moving in the local market or in Russia, to make a choice in favor of "local" hosting companies.
Why? Because search engines take into account where the site is located and show it higher in the country from which the search is made. That is, if the site is located in Germany, then it will be shown higher and more often to people from Germany.
The location of a site is determined by its IP. And the IP address is assigned depending on where the server on which this site is located is located.
What to look for - you already know. Let's now go through the top ten Runet hostings where you can host your site.

- Low prices for services;

- Inaccessibility of sites for several hours;
- Permanent block of company mail servers by ip;
- Independently change the ip of the servers (about once every six months).
I liked the support service. Really helped with all questions, with each appeal they unsubscribed in a couple of minutes. We checked the logs without taking a penny.
One of the customer reviews:
9th place. timeweb
Once the leader of the Russian segment of the Internet in this business area, today it is in the last places in the ranking. The reason is simple: the company decided to change the vector of priorities and is now working to attract new customers, leaving the service of existing users "overboard" of their goals. As a result, the professionalism of employees has deteriorated, which in most cases are not able to understand what the client wants from them. Falls have also increased.
- Affordable prices for services;
- Variety of tariffs;
- The presence of its own control panel: it is convenient and functional.
❌ Cons:
- Long and slow resolution of technical problems;
- Falls have become more frequent;
- Illiterate tech. support.

The main property of any hosting, which is important for any client, is the time of its continuous operation. Our rating includes the best hosting providers in the Russian segment of the Internet, with a total uptime of over 99%. The second most important priority is the quality of the work of the technical support service, namely the ability of its employees to quickly find and eliminate the cause of the problem. Companies from the top also do a good job of this task (at least better than their other competitors). Therefore, the final choice on your part will depend only on the prices and opportunities offered by the firms themselves.
