Frequently asked questions

PHP 8.1 or newer. Old 7.x is slower, gets no security updates and is no longer supported by some CMSs. Good hosting lets you switch the version in the panel.
For most sites there's no difference — MariaDB is a compatible MySQL fork. Both work with WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart. A current version (MySQL 8 / MariaDB 10.6+) and an NVMe disk matter more.
A low price isn't always bad. For a blog or landing page, a budget server (1–2 GB RAM, NVMe) is plenty. The key is to check uptime and support availability, not just price.
Low cost comes from the location (cheaper data centre rent), denser client packing or the absence of managed services. That's fine for small projects, but verify the virtualization type.
European data centres combine solid infrastructure, GDPR compliance and low latency to a Ukrainian audience (25–40 ms). It's the optimal balance of price, speed and stability.
Germany (Frankfurt) is Europe's largest internet hub with the best infrastructure. The Netherlands offers permissive law and proximity to UA. Poland is the cheapest option with low latency.

Очень быстро реагируют на тикеты, в любой момент ответят на Ваш вопрос. В общем лучшей поддержки я еще не видел, в сравнении с моим предыдущем хостингом где за поддержку нужно было платить если что-то серьезное, то это небо и земля.

5 лет использую данный хостинг на разных сайтах, за это время даже не посещала мысль перейти на другой. одна из главных фишек этого хостинга это чат-поддержка, да и в целом отличный фидбек всегда получаю.
