1. Performance and Infrastructure Criteria
1. Uptime Guarantee: Choose providers that offer a minimum 99.9% uptime guarantee. 99.9% annual uptime means a maximum of 8.7 hours of downtime. 99.99% is only 52 minutes.
2. SSD/NVMe Disk:Choose hosting that uses SSD or NVMe disk instead of HDD. NVMe disks are noticeably faster than SATA SSDs. Database operations and file read/write performance directly depends on the disk type.
3. Server Location:Choose the server location closest to your target audience. For users in Türkiye, Istanbul, Frankfurt or Amsterdam locations offer the lowest latency.
4. Bandwidth: Choose providers that offer unmetered bandwidth. In plans with limited bandwidth, additional fees or speed reduction may occur when the traffic quota is exceeded.
5. PHP and Software Versions:Choose providers that offer up-to-date, supported PHP versions, HTTP/2-3 support, and a LiteSpeed or Nginx web server.
2. Security and Backup
6. SSL Certificate:Hosting that offers free DV SSL is a good start, but for e-commerce and corporate sites, consider getting an OV or EV SSL from DataSSL. Warranty amount and brand reliability make a difference.
7. Daily Backup:Automatic daily backup and one-click restore feature is a must. Backup retention period must be at least 7 days. Some providers keep backups for up to 30 days.
8. DDoS Protection:Your hosting provider should have protection against DDoS attacks. Choose providers with CloudFlare integration or their own DDoS solution.
9. Malware Scanning: Providers that offer automatic malware scanning and removal take security one step further. Solutions such as Imunify360 or ClamAV are commonly used for this purpose.
10. Isolation: In shared hosting, technologies that provide account isolation such as CloudLinux should be used. A problem with one account should not affect the others.
3. Support and User Experience
11. 24/7 Technical Support: Choose a hosting company that provides technical support in Turkish, available 24/7 via live chat, phone and ticket system. Average response time should not exceed 15 minutes.
12. Control Panel:It is important to have a user-friendly control panel such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin. You should be able to perform all operations without requiring command line access (SSH).
13. One-Click Installation:Automatic application installers such as Softaculous or Installatron allow you to install platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Magento in seconds.
4. Price and Elasticity
14. Transparent Pricing: Watch out for renewal prices! Many hosting companies offer a discounted price for the first period, the renewal price can be considerably higher. Be sure to read the contract terms.
15. Scalability:When your business grows, you should be able to move up easily. Choose providers that offer seamless migration from shared hosting to VPS and from VPS to Cloud.
As a result, hosting choice directly affects the success of your website. Be careful to choose the provider that best suits your needs and is reliable, rather than the cheapest option. Don't forget the SSL certificate — As DataSSL, we offer SSL solutions for different needs and budgets!
