  • Excellent support
  • Fast charging speed

  cyber_Folks (formerly Mxhost) enjoys a good reputation and deservedly so. Its hosting plans are competitive, but I found the storage capacity of the starter plan (5GB) a bit too small for its cost. Fortunately, the other subscriptions are much more generous. For just a few extra euros, you can get 25 GB of storage space and unlimited websites with the cyber_UP subscription . Special features offered by cyber_Folks accounts are integration with Cloudflare , which improves speed and security, and email protection with SpamExperts. The technical team at cyber_Folks is very dedicated, responds very promptly and does their best to solve any customer problem. Recommended for the quality of services, especially support.

The hosting accounts offered are full of rare tools, or exclusive to Hostico. We mention SEO Tools that help to better position sites in search engines and Secured, a service that provides several types of protection, such as Firewall, Antivirus, Antispam, DDoS and others. The support team is very quick to meet customer needs and provides the most comprehensive knowledge library with video tutorials.

  • Prices starting from €�2.68 /month
  Hostinger is known for its aggressive marketing, so I was very curious to see if it lived up to expectations. Although I didn't believe it, it really surprised me. With such low prices, I never thought it would score so well in my performance tests.

  What do I mean when I say good results? Well, our tests show that even Hostinger's cheapest plan upload speeds were almost as fast as those we've seen on much more expensive services .

Romanian web hosting comparison project - How we succeeded

 

Anyone who has tried to look for hosting has noticed that it is quite difficult to make a choice. This for several reasons. First of all, we have a multitude of existing offers on the Romanian market , some seem to be of better quality, others more equipped, others cheaper, others good from all points of view. Then there are the international hostings which, thanks to CDNs, are now very attractive on a local level as well

So it sounds like you feel the need for advice, or at least some up-to-date information that covers as many options as possible and deals with the subject from multiple perspectives and in an unbiased manner. In other words, the need for tests is felt, but they involve laborious work, professionalism, time and expenses that are beyond everyone's reach. So here at Website Planet, we have taken on this role, to thoroughly test a wide range of offers and make this information available to our readers to help them choose the right hosting. So, in addition to reviewing the features offered, I purchased a domain and a hosting plan from each company, in which I installed a site to be able to run tests as close to reality as possible .

If You Want To Test Hosting, You Need To Build A Real Website

  For the tests I needed a site as real as possible. This is both to make the tests possible and not to be detected by the companies and thus to be treated specially. So one was created, based on an innovation that also reaches Romania:

Results and Analysis – Which Hosts Are Good?

  When looking for a suitable hosting, there are some specific things that we need to pay attention to. We will further detail the criteria we use to test and rank these hosting services. 1. The percentage of uptime or the period in which the server is functional. It can be affected by both server downtime and connection interruptions. Another aspect is the problems generated by the bad functioning of the server due to excessive loads, bugs or configurations that can generate errors. Nothing can be worse for a visitor than trying to visit a site and it not being available. To measure the percentage of uptime we used UptimeRobot , which checks every minute if the site is available. There were servers that had excellent 100% uptime, some were within the acceptable limit of 99.9%, but there were also servers that had higher outages. Below is the table with the uptime related to each hosting during the testing period.

Hosterion	100%
Rosemary	100%
cyber_Folks (Mxhost)	100%
Hostico	100%
Hostinger	100%
SiteGround	100%
easyhost	100%
HostVision	100%
xServers	99.644%
ClausWeb	99.994%
Gazzduire.ro	99.875%

  2. Loading speed is a very important aspect in choosing hosting. The faster the site loads, the better. It is a more pleasant experience for visitors and also helps in better search engine positioning. It's generally good for a site to load in about a second on average. Of course, this does not depend only on the server, but also on the construction of the site. However, having the same site on all tested servers, we were able to draw a conclusive conclusion. For the measurements we used GTMetrix , a tool that was recommended by most of the support teams of the tested hosting accounts when we asked the question: How can we improve the loading speed? I performed 3 measurements in 3 consecutive days and then obtained an average of the charging time that can be consulted in the following table. 3. Resources allocated to the hosting plan . This basically means how much space is made available, how much memory and computing power – CPU. Of course relative to the price of the plan. The bigger the resources the bigger the site can be and the better it works. Hosting space at most companies is limited to 10GB for basic accounts, with all companies offering SSD HDDs.
