What are the important parameters of a hosting plan that you should pay attention to

By choosing a hosting plan, you are about to take one of the first and most important steps towards the success of your online project. Hosting is not only the place where your website will live, but it is also crucial to its performance, user satisfaction and the revenue of your online business.

That is why it is necessary to be careful when it comes to choosing the right hosting solution for your website's needs. We advise you not to rush, but to explore different options before making your choice. It will also be much easier for you to decide if you have previously clarified what resources your site needs. 

In case you have no experience or the technical terms related to choosing a hosting plan bother you, in this article we summarize  the important parameters of a hosting plan that you should pay attention to. 

Adequate disk space
One of the important parameters that you must pay attention to is the disk space that your hosting plan provides. This parameter varies between different plans, and what is the adequate amount of disk space depends on the individual hosting needs of your site or project.
Small blogs and personal sites traditionally do not need a lot of disk space. The opposite is true for corporate sites, online stores, and larger online platforms that need to store multiple images, videos, and other large files.

IMPORTANT!!! In addition to the amount of disk space, pay attention to the type of disk provided:
HDD – standard disks with large capacity but slow speed.
SSD – faster disks, but not enough. 
NVMe – super fast disks with excellent read and write speeds.

Bandwidth
This is a parameter that largely determines how fast the site will work for your customers. Bandwidth shows how fast information will be downloaded from your server. Bandwidth is common to all your visitors, so it is better to have it larger in order to be able to handle, for example, the increasing traffic during a successful promotion. Websites with a lot of content and high traffic require the most bandwidth, while those with low to moderate content and traffic do not require so much.

Server reliability and uptime guarantees
It is no less important to find out what servers your hosting provider uses. Most people avoid this question, but the truth is that there are many companies on the market that do not have their own physical servers, but resell someone else's, without being able to really guarantee the quality of the service they promise you. Another problem is old and unreliable servers, which can lead to poor performance of your site or even more serious problems. 

We at Clowbe.bg have the policy  to replace servers every 3 to 5 years, so that our customers always use modern technology and rely on new servers with modern specifications. By investing in modern equipment, innovations and a qualified team, we manage to provide our clients with the highest possible uptime and uninterrupted workflow.

Security and Protection
It is especially important for business owners to get security for their site, as well as to guarantee the security and peace of mind of their users. Unfortunately, the number of cyber attacks continues to grow and they are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Therefore, it is important to invest in a hosting provider that will offer you a high level of protection.
Clowbe's cloud hosting solutions have an intelligent system for real-time protection against cyber and DDoS attacks. Additionally, your data is backed up daily, ensuring that your information is not deleted or lost.

Customer Service and Technical Support
Good hosting providers will make sure to provide you with a high level of customer service and technical support. This means that they will provide you with comprehensive information on how to manage the service, as well as being able to contact them easily if a hosting problem arises. The support team should be able to assist in timely troubleshooting. This is an aspect that should not be underestimated, as the longer your site is offline, the greater the losses for your business. 

Ability to easily scale the plan
Last on this list, but not least, we put the ability to easily increase your resources and upgrade to a higher plan. Think ahead when choosing a plan - if you start with the highest plan and your business continues to grow, you risk that at some point the hosting plan will no longer cover your needs.
