What are the Best Web Hosting Services for Singapore Businesses in 2023?
Are you looking to start your own business?
Creating a website is one of the first few milestones that you will reach on this journey, and you’ve decided to go about creating one yourself. So why is web hosting so crucial? And how can I pick out one that is best suited for my company?
These were all questions I asked myself, and I have realised that there are a few KEY factors that make a web hosting provider worth value. So stick around till the end and let me share with you which I think are the best web hosting providers, and why I think so.
First off, here are some key factors for you to take into consideration:
- Customer Service Excellence and Response Time
- Web Server used by the hosting provider
- Price (More specifically, value provided for their price point)
- Performance, Uptime & Security
There are SO MANY web hosting providers to choose from, and it can be tough to decide which one is the best for your needs. In this blog post, we’ll be looking at some of the top web hosting providers for the coming year to help you make an informed decision. You might never have heard about some of these web hosting providers, and I may veer away from the ones that every Tom, Dick & Harry knows about, for eg: GoDaddy, but that’s what you’re reading this for aren’t you?
In this post, I will not be bogging you down with all the stats because there are TONS of articles explaining all those in detail, for eg: here, here and here for the Singaporeans. I have already looked through ALL OF THAT, and every company listed here already provide the best value. I will be providing you my opinion so that you are hopefully able to narrow down your choices instead. So keep reading till the end to find out!
Bluehost
Bluehost is a well-known and trusted web hosting provider that has been around for over two decades. They offer a range of hosting options, including shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting, making it easy to find a plan that fits your needs. They also have a variety of features, including free SSL certificates, a free domain name, and unlimited email accounts.Bluehost has a pretty competitive price point for the value that they offer as well, and they are a solid option to choose. HOWEVER, Bluehost does not provide free Domain Privacy Protection! So in essense you will have to pay a monthly subscription every month for every domain you own, to keep your personal WHOIS information away from hackers and scammers! If you are okay with spending that extra 95 cents a month (I mean come on if you compare the total to other web hosting providers they are still way better) I would definitely recommend Bluehost!
NameHero
NameHero is a web hosting provider that offers a wide range of hosting options. They have a number of features to help you build and manage your website, including a free domain name, free SSL certificates, and unlimited email accounts. NameHero is known for its fast and reliable hosting, as well as its EXCELLENT customer support, which is available 24/7 via phone, email, and live chat. NameHero also runs on the LiteSpeed Web Server and this is a major upgrade from the traditional Apache/NginX servers that most web hosting providers use.Of course I’d have to plug NameHero, as they are the web hosting company that I use for all of my websites! They even offer a 30-day money back guarantee, as they are so confident that you will love their web hosting, Personally, I have spoken to their customer service team as well, and they are amazing at promptly fixing any issues occur! If you have slightly more budget to spend, NameHero is definitely the best option for you!
GreenGeeks
GreenGeeks is a web hosting provider that focuses on environmentally-friendly hosting solutions. They claim to offset the carbon emissions of their hosting operations by purchasing wind energy credits, making them a popular choice for individuals and organizations that want to reduce their carbon footprint. Compared to their competitors, I think their efforts to preserve the environment definitely sets them apart.They also provide a number of tools and resources to help you build and manage your website, including a free domain name and free SSL certificates. GreenGeeks also runs on the LiteSpeed web server and this is a huge bonus. GreenGeeks also provides excellent customer support that is available 24/7, whom I have personally spoken to as well, and if I were to ever change web hosting providers, GreenGeeks would definitely be the way to go.
Hostinger
Hostinger is a web hosting provider that offers a range of hosting options, including shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting. Hostinger is known for its fast and reliable hosting, and they have the highest uptime at 99.99%! Through Hostinger, you honestly also get the most bang for your buck, at $1.99 for their most basic plan, which is more than enough for any business that’s trying to get their feet wet.Instead of the common cPanel used by most web hosting providers, Hostinger has come up with an innovative and beginner friendly control panel names hPanel, and they also provide you with live demos to teach you how it works. Out of all these options, Hostinger is definitely the most beginner-friendly. If you do not have as much time to spend learning how to set everything up, then Hostinger is definitely the best option for you!So what do you think?
DISCLAIMER! This is my personal opinion on what I think would be the best options for the entrepreneur who is just starting out in the web development world. Go with Hostinger or GreenGeeks. These 2 are the best in terms of both quality, price and value. Both provide EXCELLENT Customer Service, as well as run on the LiteSpeed Web Server, which is the best web server in my opinion as it way faster and lightweight when compared to NginX or Apache, which are used by more than 50% of websites worldwide!
