Which hosting to choose?
Step 1. Choose a hosting type
Virtual hosting
Virtual hosting is the most popular type of hosting. The virtual server is shared among several clients, which offers the following advantages:
- affordable — you don’t pay for the whole server;
- convenient — you get a pre-installed operating system and applications;
- reliable — we handle software updates, data protection, and backups.
Using an intuitive control panel, you can easily host your website, add domains, and create mailboxes. Even beginners can manage shared hosting settings, and a wide range of plans makes it easy to choose the best value for your needs.

CMS hosting
CMS hosting is also virtual hosting, but optimized for popular CMS platforms: WordPress, Joomla, 1C-Bitrix, Opencart, Drupal, and MODX. If your website is built on one of these, CMS hosting will deliver faster page loading and better server stability.
Choose a CMS Hosting plan.
Virtual server VDS/VPS
VDS/VPS hosting is ideal if:
- your website receives high traffic,
- you need server customization for your project’s specific needs.
- VDS/VPS has no limits on the number of websites or email campaigns.
Dedicated server
Dedicated means a separate physical server. Dedicated servers are chosen for high-traffic websites with large databases. You get full administrative access to manage both software and hardware components.
