Speed is a key factor in the success of your website, and has a strong impact on everything from conversion rates to site ranking. A quality web host can help you shave seconds off your page load times. However, it can be difficult to know which hosts are the fastest on the market.
As a website owner myself, oppsup.com is one of them. I've always done extensive research to find the best shared hosting that meets my needs, with a good price and without the hassle and constraints of a VPS.
I've noticed that hosts like Infomaniak, Stablepoint, 20i, fastcomet and Guru etc. don't appear in the list of hosts compared, having been in the business since 2005, and having been a customer of several hosts. It doesn't make sense for the comparison to always be between Bluehost, Sitegroud etc. The list you probably already know.
The secret is that these hosts offer very attractive commissions to hosting comparators. It's no coincidence that I found my current host.
I was able to achieve a Page Speed Insights score of 100% with my current host, thanks to plugins and techniques that I can detail in an article, but above all thanks to my current host.
I always work with the same plugins (WP Rocket, perfmatters) and I optimize Elementor as much as possible, I use Cloudflare... and the result with a good hosting always exceeds 90% whatever the complexity and the needs of the site.
I'm not saying that other hosts can't give you a good result, but my personal experience is clearly in favor of Guru.
Even before becoming a Guru customer, the numbers and features of their offerings are promising:
100% SSD NMVE Hosting (Many hosting providers advertise their offerings as SSD but in reality only the database is SSD, unlike Guru which is really 100% SSD, better still SSD NMVE.
LiteSpeedweb server technology + native HTTP/2 in their servers and a maximum of 100 clients in their latest-generation servers.
Logical limitations, which don't really restrict your site's access to server resources. No I/O limitation, for example.
What's more, their offerings include the Cpanel panel, Zend Optimizer, Ioncube, WP-CLI and the ability to choose PHP versions up to the latest 8.1, as well as many other features that you can discover on their site.
Hourly offsite backups, automated backups of your files and databases, every hour, with daily backups for a month.
But what also really makes the difference for sites with a high volume of visitors or E-Commerce sites with lots of requests, is the possibility of having semi-dedicated resources in terms of CPU and RAM memory.
As one of their customers, I can confirm that the end result is more than satisfactory, with better value for money.
Let's be clear, a VPS server is always better than any shared hosting offer. But a VPS server has a lot of constraints... you have to buy a cpanel or plesk license, invest in several other extensions like litespeed etc... to get the same result as with a very well configured shared hosting. Amazon's vps, for example, are ultra-fast, and their prices are really tempting... but you have to make a lot of other investments, for backup, for e-mail etc...
You also need to have a clear idea of your real resource requirements before embarking on the choice of vps or SharedHosting.
What's more, a VPS requires more maintenance and effort than you can devote to other tasks, such as writing content or promoting and developing your site's reputation.
You can test all Guru offers for USD 1/month. It doesn't matter which offer you choose:
£1 instead of £4.99 /MONTH
