scyhost. The question we get most often before an order is: “Which plan do I need?” The answer rarely depends on gigabytes. It depends much more on what you run, how many sites you have, and who will look after the server. Here is how we think about it when we recommend a service.
1. Web hosting: for most websites
Shared web hosting (the Merkur, Venera, Mars plans, from 3,49 € a month with yearly billing) is the right choice when you have one or a few sites, email on your own domain, and no wish to look after a server. You get cPanel, LiteSpeed, free SSL and automatic backups, and we maintain the server software.
- A company, sole-trader or association site, a portfolio, a blog.
- Static sites or simple PHP, and WordPress runs fine too.
- Several domains on one account (depending on the plan).
2. WordPress hosting: when the site is WordPress
The WordPress plans (Jupiter, Saturn, Uran, from 4,49 € a month with yearly billing) run on the same platform but are built around WordPress: WP Toolkit for installs, updates and security settings, and LiteSpeed Cache for speed. If you know you will work in WordPress or WooCommerce, the tools are right at hand here.
- A blog, a WooCommerce shop, a site with many plugins.
- You want updates and security checks in one place.
- You don’t need unlimited mailboxes (web hosting or email hosting is better for that).
3. Custom VPS: when shared hosting is no longer enough
We don’t sell VPS servers off a price list. Based on a description of your workload we propose resources, an operating system and a management level, and send a written quote before any commitment. It makes sense when:
- traffic or processing regularly exceeds what a shared server can give;
- you need your own software, specific versions, background services or root access;
- you have isolation requirements a shared environment can’t meet.
If you are not sure whether you need a VPS, you almost certainly don’t need one yet. Start with web hosting; moving up later is common and we help with it.
A quick check in four questions
- Is the site WordPress? If so, look at WordPress hosting.
- Do you need many mailboxes or several sites? Web hosting with unlimited email accounts (Drive and above).
- Do you only need business email, no website? Email hosting.
- Do you have special software or resource requirements? Request a VPS quote.
What if I pick the wrong one?
You can upgrade a plan later, and hosting comes with a money-back guarantee under the refund terms. All plans are compared side by side on the pricing page. And if you would rather talk, tell us what you are building and we will recommend a plan, with no obligation.
