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.
When your audience is in America, you run a SaaS targeting the US market or Forex robots on NYSE/NASDAQ. A US server gives minimal latency for American users.
120–160 ms depending on location (East Coast is closer). It's imperceptible for regular sites but noticeable for real-time apps — for a UA audience, Europe is better.

Медленные vps на sata дисках. Администрирование на windows vps нет. Отзывы покупают за 10$. Не советую.

Не знаю як він працює (можливо все задовільно), але відсутність на головній сторінці української мови, відштовхнула. Хоча хостинг позиціонує себе як український:(

Не предоставлять на тарифах хостинга SSL в наше время это голимый отстой.

Добрый день. Работаю с данной компанией не меньше 10 лет. Доволен на 99% (100% просто не бывает, это фантастика). Ребята всегда готовы помочь и вместе разобраться в проблемах выходящих за рамки оказания сервисной поддержки.
