#Best 5 Web Hosting Platforms | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

screentones-webcomicresources · 1 year ago

Text

There are many web hosting companies to choose from if you're taking the plunge into making your own website with a comic content management system (CMS) like ComicControl or Grawlix, a Wordpress comic theme like Toocheke or ComicPress, or a HTML template to cut/paste code like Rarebit. While these solutions are generally free, finding a home for them is... generally not. It can be hard to choose what's best for your webcomic AND your budget!

We took a look at a few of the top hosting services used by webcomics creators using webcomic CMSes, and we put out a poll to ask your feedback about your hosts!

This post may be updated as time goes on as new services enter the hosting arena, or other important updates come to light.

Questions:

💻 I can get a free account with Wix/Squarespace/Carrd, could I just use those for my comic? - Web hosts like this may have gallery functions that could be adapted to display a series of pages, but they are very basic and not intended for webcomics.

📚 Wait, I host on Webtoon, Tapas, Comic Fury, or some other comic website, why are they not here? - Those are comic platforms! We'll get into those in a future post!

🕵️‍♀️Why does it say "shared hosting"? Who am I sharing with? - "Shared hosting" refers to sharing the server space with other customers. They will not have access to your files or anything, so it is perfectly fine to use for most comic CMSes. You may experience slowing if there is too much activity on a server, so if you're planning to host large files or more than 10 comics, you may want to upgrade to a more robust plan in the future.

Web Host List

Neocities

Basic plan pricing: Free or $5/month. Free plan has more restrictions (1 GB space, no custom domain, and slower bandwidth, among other things)

Notes: Neocities does not have database support for paid or free accounts, and most comic CMS solutions require this (ComicCtrl, Grawlix, Wordpress). You will need to work with HTML/CSS files directly to make a website and post each page.

Hostinger

Basic plan pricing: $11.99/month or $7.99/month with four year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 4 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain for the 1st year. Free SSL Certifications. Weekly backups.

KnownHost

Basic plan pricing: $8.95/month or $7.99/month with four year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 4 year plans available).

Notes: Free DDOS protection. Free SSL Certifications.

InMotion Hosting

Basic plan pricing: $12.99/month or $9.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free SSL Certifications, free domain names for 1 and 3 year plans. 24/7 live customer service and 90-day money-back guarantee. Inmotion also advertises eco-friendly policies: We are the first-ever Green Data Center in Los Angeles. We cut cooling costs by nearly 70 percent and reduce our carbon output by more than 2,000 tons per year.

Reviews:

👍“I can't remember it ever going down.”

👍“InMotion has a pretty extensive library full of various guides on setting up and managing websites, servers, domains, etc. Customer service is also fairly quick on responding to inquiries.” 👎“I wish it was a bit faster with loading pages.”

Ionos Hosting

Basic plan pricing: $8/month or $6/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 2 and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain for the first year, free SSL Certification, Daily backup and recovery is included. Site Scan and Repair is free for the first 30 days and then is $6/month.

Reviews:

👍“Very fast and simple” 👎“Customer service is mediocre and I can't upload large files”

Bluehost

Basic plan pricing: $15.99/month or $4.95/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain and SSL certificates (for first year only). 24/7 Customer Service. Built to handle higher traffic websites. Although they specialize in Wordpress websites and provide updates automatically, that's almost a bad thing for webcomic plugins because they will often break your site. Their cloud hosting services are currently in early access with not much additional information available.

Reviews:

👎"The fees keep going up. Like I could drop $100 to cover a whole year, but now I'm paying nearly $100 for just three months. It's really upsetting."

👎"I have previously used Bluehost’s Wordpress hosting service and have had negative experiences with the service, so please consider with a grain of salt. I can confirm at least that their 24/7 customer service was great, although needed FAR too often."

Dreamhost

Basic plan pricing: $7.99/month or $5.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free SSL Certificates, 24/7 support with all plans, 97-day moneyback guarantee. Not recommended for ComicCtrl CMS

Reviews:

👍“They've automatically patched 2 security holes I created/allowed by mistake.” 👍“Prices are very reasonable” 👎 “back end kind of annoying to use” 👎 “wordpress has some issues” 👎 “it's not as customizable as some might want“

GoDaddy

Basic plan pricing: $11.99/month or $9.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free 24/7 Customer service with all plans, Free SSL Certificates for 1 year, free domain and site migration.

Reviews:

👍Reasonable intro prices for their Economy hosting, which has 25GB of storage 👍Migrated email hosting service from cPanel to Microsoft Office, which has greater support but may not be useful for most webcomic creators. 👎 Many site issues and then being upsold during customer service attempts. 👎 Server quality found lacking in reviews 👎 Marketing scandals in the past with a reputation for making ads in poor taste. Have been attempting to clean up that image in recent years. 👎 “GoDaddy is the McDonald's of web hosting. Maybe the Wal-Mart of hosting would be better. If your website was an object you would need a shelf to put it on. You go to Wal-Mart and buy a shelf. It's not great. It's not fancy. It can only hold that one thing. And if we're being honest - if the shelf broke and your website died it wouldn't be the end of the world.The issue comes when you don't realize GoDaddy is the Wal-Mart of hosting. You go and try to do things you could do with a quality shelf. Like, move it. Or add more things to it.” MyWorkAccountThisIs on Reddit*

Things to consider for any host:

💸 Introductory/promotional pricing - Many hosting companies offer free or inexpensive deals to get you in the door, and then raise the cost for these features after the first year or when you renew. The prices in this post are the base prices that you can expect to pay after the promotional prices end, but may get outdated, so you are encouraged to do your own research as well.

💻 Wordpress hosting - Many of the companies below will have a separate offering for Wordpress-optimized hosting that will keep you updated with the latest Wordpress releases. This is usually not necessary for webcomic creators, and can be the source of many site-breaking headaches when comic plugins have not caught up to the latest Wordpress releases.

Any basic hosting plan on this list will be fine with Wordpress, but expect to stop or revert Wordpress versions if you go with this as your CMS.

🤝 You don't have to go it alone - While free hosts may be more limited, paid hosting on a web server will generally allow you to create different subdomains, or attach additional purchased domains to any folders you make. If you have other comic-making friends you know and trust, you can share your server space and split the cost!

Want to share your experience?

Feel free to contribute your hosting pros, cons, and quirks on our survey! We will be updating our list periodically with your feedback!

While I certainly hope tumblr isn't going away, I thought this would be a good post to make anyways. Here's where else you can find me:

Bluesky / Instagram:

But the BEST place you can keep up with me, where you can support me as a writer and creator as well, is my website/newsletter. Just go to queerenigma.com and sign up at one of three tiers:

Free: Have my webserials delivered to your email for free.

The Folk Hero: $2/month (only $20 for a whole year!!): At the start of each month, you'll receive a behind-the-scenes newsletter that includes important updates, creative sneak peeks and insights, exclusive character art, and way more.

The Detective: $5/month: The above newsletter AND early access to serial chapters.

Seriously, every signup to my site is SO appreciated. We live in an era where social media platforms come and go (and turn on queer creators at the drop of a hat), so having a way to reach my friends and supporters outside of those platforms is huge. (Also, at only $20 a year, you can help me pay off my web hosting costs 🥺)

Hey, it's a casting announcement!

But first, a synopsis:

Coming in 2025, Heartglass is a modern urban fantasy that centers loss, grief, and corruption in a package that feels like a fairytale. The story is divided between two main throughlines. The three living relatives of the victims of a tragic accident on a viewing platform over the Heartglass desert are attending a memorial service when a violent storm hits the city of Robeson, a storm that shouldn't be possible. In its wake, it drags a whole host of impossible things - including people turning into trees, invisible monsters, and a mysterious cowboy shaman. They are forced to navigate a world that they rapidly realize they do not truly understand.

Meanwhile, the three departed relatives of our protagonists are stuck living in an ice cream shop in Hell. They remember almost nothing about their lives, but they do know they're all bound together by some means that prevents them from separating. When the concept of a communistic scare drives them from their makeshift home, they set off to journey to Hell's only visible landmark - a spire set seemingly forever on the horizon, above which a singular white light radiates the otherwise formless gray expanse. Heartglass is a bizarre and poetic look at the relationship between life, death, and the surreal spaces in between.

Without further ado, our cast!

Which Is A Better Website Development Option – WordPress Or HTML/CSS/JS?

When you want a web design UAE, then you must know the best platform on which to base your website on. The choice becomes difficult when you know practically nothing, which means you are a novice here. Someone suggests WordPress website design and someone suggests HTML/CSS/JS and now you are totally confused.

But relax there will be no confusion once the air is cleared and you know the differences and pros and cons about the two. So gear up now for it.

What Is WordPress?

WordPress is just about one of the easiest ways to design a website on. It gives the users the benefit of creating, managing and modifying any website content from the post of an admin. It means there is easy access. It is created and designed so that it is very user-friendly. You need no knowledge of coding to get going on it.

This is the reason why more than 30% of all websites designed and hosted on the internet are done so using WordPress. But here you must take note that there are two types of WordPress website development. They are:

WordPress.org — It is an open source content management system wherein you can download the software to avail of the numerous themes and plugins that come free. If you are innovative and creative, then this is the one for you.

WordPress.com — This is a self-hosted edition of WordPress. It is very easy to use but you have to make do with some limitations. If you have no objections here, then you can go ahead with it.

The Pros Of WordPress

There are many pros here that could lead you to it. They are:

WordPress website development is one of the easiest and smoothest ways that you can begin with while web development Dubai. Here you need no technical knowledge or ideas. It is so convenient that a website can be designed in just 5 minutes which is very little and inexpensive at all. You can easily manage your daily routine tasks of maintaining your website. Here you can create, update pages and contents, customize the appearance and manage and improvise the SEO.

You can easily customize by adding various free plugins and themes that already exist. The plugins are very strong and numerous in number. There is a lot to choose from. You can increase the efficiency of your site by using the plugins.

It is continually evolving because of its open source nature. Any person can mend issues that are troubling it. Another liberty you get here is that you can make your own personal plugins. The website can be designed very quickly.

This may be one reason why some Web Development Dubai Companies, prefer to use WordPress.

What Is HTML/CSS/JS?

HTML is the shortened version of Hyper-Text Markup Language where tags are employed to classify various components on a website. And HTML is never used alone. It is used in a combination with CSS and JS or JavaScript. HTML gives the fundamental structure of the website and the enhancement is done by CSS and JS.

CSS gives an appealing look to the website and takes control of the layout of the content. It is formatted before showcasing to consumers.

JavaScript makes the website synergistic. It also controls the behavioural pattern of the content components when used by users.

But remember that HTML and CSS are programming languages, rather they speak about the structure of the content and gives information on its style. But JavaScript is a programming language that is based on logic.

The Pros Of HTML/CSS/JS

There are many pros associated with this way of developing a website which again is used as a way of Web Development in Dubai. They are:

HTML is a static site and thus requires very little backup. You only need a backup when you make certain changes to your site. You even do need many updates. So less time can be invested for these.

You are the commanding authority when using HTML. Access and modifications to your website are easier than WordPress in fact. So it becomes more flexible when you want to incorporate certain new features or extras ones.

Very few resources are tapped while using HTML. It easily runs on cheap servers, unlike WordPress.

How To Choose The Optimum Way Of Designing Websites?

Now that you know a little about both the methods and their pros, you are in a much better position to choose your own way of web development Dubai.

When you do not need to regularly update or change your site or add up additional content, then HTML/CSS/JS is the better option. But for the growth of a business website where regular alterations and additions are required, then WordPress is the choice.

WordPress has very little expenditure as it can be maintained by you without technical skills. So it is low on maintenance also. You can always keep on creating different content and extra pages whenever the need arises. So it all depends on what your purpose is and what method you want to apply while creating a website.

WordPress is very fast and more secure than HTML. And since no coding language is required by WordPress, it becomes a more preferred choice by millions of consumers who are always more comfortable with cheap and low maintenance products. This is one reason why Web Design in UAE is mostly being done by WordPress.

Conclusion

But again you must mind the limitations of both the methods of designing websites. WordPress is perfect for light and personal information sharing. But if you want a business website designed, then it is always advisable to use HTML/CSS/JS to get the job done properly. Then you also you should get in touch with professionals for the job.

What is a Website? A Complete Beginner’s Guide

In today’s digital age, having an online presence is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. Whether you're a business owner, content creator, or just someone curious about the web, understanding what a website is and how it functions is essential. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about websites, their components, types, benefits, and how to create one.

What is a Website?

A website is a collection of publicly accessible web pages that are linked together and share a single domain name. These pages are hosted on a web server and can include text, images, videos, forms, and other elements that users interact with online.

In simpler terms, a website is your virtual space on the internet — like your home or office in the digital world. It allows you to communicate, sell, educate, entertain, or showcase anything to a global audience.

Why is a Website Important Today?

In a world dominated by smartphones, search engines, and social media, a website acts as your central hub online. Here's why it’s important:

Visibility: A website helps you appear in search results when people look for your products, services, or information.

Credibility: A professional-looking site builds trust among your audience.

Accessibility: Your website is available 24/7, allowing customers to reach you anytime.

Marketing: It's the foundation for all your digital marketing efforts.

Sales: With e-commerce, your website can directly generate revenue.

Core Components of a Website

Every website has several key components that make it function properly:

1. Domain Name

This is your site’s address (e.g., www.digitalcreator.org.in). It’s what users type in their browser to visit your site.

2. Hosting Server

Web hosting stores your website’s data and serves it to users when requested.

3. Content Management System (CMS)

A CMS like WordPress, Joomla, or Shopify makes it easy to build and manage content on your website without coding.

4. Web Pages

These include the homepage, about us, contact, services, blog, etc., that make up your website.

5. Navigation

Menus and internal links guide visitors through your website.

Types of Websites

Different websites serve different purposes. Here are some common types:

1. Business Website

Used by companies to promote services, share information, and connect with clients.

2. E-commerce Website

Allows users to buy and sell products online. Examples include Amazon and Flipkart.

3. Portfolio Website

Ideal for creative professionals to showcase their work.

4. Blog or Personal Website

Used by individuals to share ideas, stories, or niche content regularly.

5. Educational Website

Used by schools, institutions, or educators to provide learning materials.

6. Non-profit or Government Website

Focused on delivering information and services to the public.

How to Create a Website (Step-by-Step)

Creating a website doesn’t require you to be a tech expert. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Choose a Domain Name

Pick a short, relevant, and memorable domain name. Make sure it reflects your brand or purpose.

Step 2: Get Web Hosting

Choose a reliable hosting provider like Bluehost, SiteGround, or Hostinger.

Step 3: Select a CMS or Website Builder

Use platforms like WordPress, Wix, or Shopify to start building your website.

Step 4: Design Your Website

Choose a theme or template. Customize colors, fonts, and layout to match your brand.

Step 5: Add Content

Create and publish pages like Home, About, Services, and Contact. Use quality visuals and optimized text.

Step 6: Optimize for SEO

Use keywords (like website) naturally, optimize images, and ensure fast load speed.

Step 7: Launch and Promote

Once satisfied, make your website live. Share it on social media and start your SEO or ad campaigns.

Best Practices for a Great Website

Responsive Design: Ensure your site works well on all devices.

Fast Loading Speed: Use compressed images and optimized code.

Clear Navigation: Make it easy for users to find what they need.

Secure (HTTPS): Use an SSL certificate to protect data.

Call-to-Action (CTA): Guide visitors toward actions like “Buy Now” or “Contact Us.”

Examples of Great Websites

A well-designed and fully functional example is www.digitalcreator.org.in. It demonstrates how a website can showcase services, build trust, and attract new clients efficiently.

LSI Keywords to Keep in Mind

While writing or optimizing your website, include these Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) keywords to enhance search performance:

Web design

Online presence

Website development

Internet site

Web page

Digital platform

Domain and hosting

CMS (Content Management System)

Website builder

E-commerce site

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the purpose of a website?

A website helps individuals or businesses share information, sell products, provide services, or connect with others online.

2. How much does it cost to build a website?

Costs vary based on design, features, and hosting. Basic websites can cost as low as ₹3,000–₹10,000, while advanced ones may go up to ₹1 lakh or more.

Turn Your Photos into a Steady Income Stream

In today’s digital world, a picture is worth far more than a thousand words — it can be worth real, steady income. Whether you're a professional photographer or just love snapping great shots with your smartphone, you have an incredible opportunity: turn your photos into a reliable revenue stream.

With the growing demand for authentic, high-quality images for websites, blogs, advertising, and social media, your photo collection could be more valuable than you think. Let’s dive into practical strategies to monetize your photography skills while also highlighting some platforms that can support your digital journey.

1. Sell Your Photos on Stock Photography Sites

The most common way photographers earn passive income is by uploading their images to stock photo websites. Every time someone downloads your image, you earn a commission.

Popular platforms include:

Shutterstock

Adobe Stock

iStock

Alamy

However, if you're serious about maximizing your exposure and revenue, you should also think about creating your own selling platform. Many entrepreneurs are buying premium domains to set up photography portfolios and shops. If you need a memorable domain for your photo business, check out Panda-Fog.com — a marketplace for powerful domain names that can set you apart online.

2. Start Your Own Photography Website

Having your own website to showcase and sell your work not only increases your credibility but also allows you to keep 100% of the profits (no commissions to stock agencies!).

Here's what you’ll need:

A domain name (again, Panda-Fog.com can help you find a strong brand name)

Hosting service

A clean, visually appealing portfolio template

E-commerce functionality for direct sales

Additionally, you can enhance your website's SEO and discoverability by writing blog posts about photography tips, your creative process, and client stories. This builds trust and brings organic traffic.

If you’re looking for expert help setting up your personal brand or even recruiting web developers for your project, platforms like AIMESBD.com can connect you to professional talent — especially useful for Bangladesh-based creators.

3. License Your Photos for Commercial Use

You can license your images directly to businesses, media outlets, authors, and marketing agencies. By offering exclusive or limited-use licenses, you command higher prices compared to stock sites.

To attract commercial clients:

Showcase your best work online

Network in professional groups like Fishbowl or Xing

Use LinkedIn to present yourself as a visual branding specialist

List your services on freelance marketplaces

If you ever expand into selling lifestyle or fashion photography, platforms like RISFashions.com can be great for collaborations in the fashion industry.

4. Create a Niche Photo Blog or YouTube Channel

Another creative way to turn photography into passive income is content creation. Start a photo-centric blog or YouTube channel where you share:

Photography tutorials

Behind-the-scenes of shoots

Editing tips and gear reviews

Stories about your travels and photo adventures

You can monetize through ads (Google AdSense), sponsored content, affiliate marketing, and even your own products or presets.

To help your blog or YouTube channel grow faster, engage actively on platforms like Quora and contribute helpful answers related to photography, which can lead new fans to your website or channel.

In fact, if you want a place to share short job-related gigs like "Photography Editing Services" or "Quick Photo Shoots for Websites", registering as a seller at ImageDoorz.com could open another revenue avenue.

5. Offer Online Photography Courses

If you’re experienced, there’s a huge market for online learning. Platforms like Udemy, Teachable, or Skillshare make it simple to build a photography course.

You can create courses on:

Basics of photography for beginners

How to edit like a pro using Lightroom or Photoshop

How to monetize photography

Or, create your own platform using tools you find online — owning your own online course site gives you much more control and profits. Setting up a professional-looking educational site is easier if you have a strong brand domain — again, a great domain from Panda-Fog.com can make a difference.

Need talent to help you create and market your course? AIMESBD.com is perfect for finding digital marketing experts.

6. Participate in Photography Competitions

Another exciting way to monetize your photography skills is by participating in photography contests. Many competitions offer significant cash prizes, publication opportunities, and exposure to clients.

Some contests even provide the winner with lucrative licensing deals or contracts for future work.

Tips for winning:

Follow the theme closely

Submit technically flawless images

Tell a powerful story through your photo

7. Create and Sell NFTs from Your Photos

The rise of Web3 technology has created an entirely new space for photographers: NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens).

By minting your photos as NFTs and selling them on platforms like OpenSea or Foundation, you can tap into a futuristic revenue stream. NFT sales not only bring you upfront earnings but often include royalty commissions on all future resales.

If you plan to enter the NFT space, having your own branded identity is crucial — again, starting with a strong domain (like those on Panda-Fog.com) helps establish authenticity and trust.

8. Freelance for Brands and Agencies

You don’t always need to wait for customers to come to you. Actively pitch your photography services to:

E-commerce businesses

Bloggers needing custom images

Local businesses updating their websites

Wedding and event planners

Platforms like Patripatro.com might not directly hire photographers, but matrimonial services often need professional event photographers — you can network with people who may need wedding photography packages!

Final Thoughts

Turning your photography passion into a steady income stream is absolutely achievable in 2025 and beyond. Like any entrepreneurial journey, it requires consistency, quality, marketing, and a little creativity.

In summary:

Sell on stock platforms while building your own website.

License your work smartly and explore commercial opportunities.

Create online content (blogs, courses, YouTube) to diversify income.

Tap into modern options like NFTs and contests.

Use job portals like AIMESBD.com to expand your professional network.

And remember — your brand identity matters. Investing in a memorable domain from Panda-Fog.com could be one of the smartest moves to secure your future success in the digital world.

How to Choose the Right Tech Stack for Your Web App in 2025

In this article, you’ll learn how to confidently choose the right tech stack for your web app, avoid common mistakes, and stay future-proof. Whether you're building an MVP or scaling a SaaS platform, we’ll walk through every critical decision.

What Is a Tech Stack? (And Why It Matters More Than Ever)

Let’s not overcomplicate it. A tech stack is the combination of technologies you use to build and run a web app. It includes:

Front-end: What users see (e.g., React, Vue, Angular)

Back-end: What makes things work behind the scenes (e.g., Node.js, Django, Laravel)

Databases: Where your data lives (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL)

DevOps & Hosting: How your app is deployed and scaled (e.g., Docker, AWS, Vercel)

Why it matters: The wrong stack leads to poor performance, higher development costs, and scaling issues. The right stack supports speed, security, scalability, and a better developer experience.

Step 1: Define Your Web App’s Core Purpose

Before choosing tools, define the problem your app solves.

Is it data-heavy like an analytics dashboard?

Real-time focused, like a messaging or collaboration app?

Mobile-first, for customers on the go?

AI-driven, using machine learning in workflows?

Example: If you're building a streaming app, you need a tech stack optimized for media delivery, latency, and concurrent user handling.

Need help defining your app’s vision? Bluell AB’s Web Development service can guide you from idea to architecture.

Step 2: Consider Scalability from Day One

Most startups make the mistake of only thinking about MVP speed. But scaling problems can cost you down the line.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

Stateless architecture supports horizontal scaling

Choose microservices or modular monoliths based on team size and scope

Go for asynchronous processing (e.g., Node.js, Python Celery)

Use CDNs and caching for frontend optimization

A poorly optimized stack can increase infrastructure costs by 30–50% during scale. So, choose a stack that lets you scale without rewriting everything.

Step 3: Think Developer Availability & Community

Great tech means nothing if you can’t find people who can use it well.

Ask yourself:

Are there enough developers skilled in this tech?

Is the community strong and active?

Are there plenty of open-source tools and integrations?

Example: Choosing Go or Elixir might give you performance gains, but hiring developers can be tough compared to React or Node.js ecosystems.

Step 4: Match the Stack with the Right Architecture Pattern

Do you need:

A Monolithic app? Best for MVPs and small teams.

A Microservices architecture? Ideal for large-scale SaaS platforms.

A Serverless model? Great for event-driven apps or unpredictable traffic.

Pro Tip: Don’t over-engineer. Start with a modular monolith, then migrate as you grow.

Step 5: Prioritize Speed and Performance

In 2025, user patience is non-existent. Google says 53% of mobile users leave a page that takes more than 3 seconds to load.

To ensure speed:

Use Next.js or Nuxt.js for server-side rendering

Optimize images and use lazy loading

Use Redis or Memcached for caching

Integrate CDNs like Cloudflare

Benchmark early and often. Use tools like Lighthouse, WebPageTest, and New Relic to monitor.

Step 6: Plan for Integration and APIs

Your app doesn’t live in a vacuum. Think about:

Payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal)

CRM/ERP tools (Salesforce, HubSpot)

3rd-party APIs (OpenAI, Google Maps)

Make sure your stack supports REST or GraphQL seamlessly and has robust middleware for secure integration.

Step 7: Security and Compliance First

Security can’t be an afterthought.

Use stacks that support JWT, OAuth2, and secure sessions

Make sure your database handles encryption-at-rest

Use HTTPS, rate limiting, and sanitize inputs

Data breaches cost startups an average of $3.86 million. Prevention is cheaper than reaction.

Step 8: Don’t Ignore Cost and Licensing

Open source doesn’t always mean free. Some tools have enterprise licenses, usage limits, or require premium add-ons.

Cost checklist:

Licensing (e.g., Firebase becomes costly at scale)

DevOps costs (e.g., AWS vs. DigitalOcean)

Developer productivity (fewer bugs = lower costs)

Budgeting for technology should include time to hire, cost to scale, and infrastructure support.

Step 9: Understand the Role of DevOps and CI/CD

Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) aren’t optional anymore.

Choose a tech stack that:

Works well with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins

Supports containerization with Docker and Kubernetes

Enables fast rollback and testing

This reduces downtime and lets your team iterate faster.

Step 10: Evaluate Real-World Use Cases

Here’s how popular stacks perform:

Look at what companies are using, then adapt, don’t copy blindly.

How Bluell Can Help You Make the Right Tech Choice

Choosing a tech stack isn’t just technical, it’s strategic. Bluell specializes in full-stack development and helps startups and growing companies build modern, scalable web apps. Whether you’re validating an MVP or building a SaaS product from scratch, we can help you pick the right tools from day one.

Conclusion

Think of your tech stack like choosing a foundation for a building. You don’t want to rebuild it when you’re five stories up.

Here’s a quick recap to guide your decision:

Know your app’s purpose

Plan for future growth

Prioritize developer availability and ecosystem

Don’t ignore performance, security, or cost

Lean into CI/CD and DevOps early

Make data-backed decisions, not just trendy ones

Make your tech stack work for your users, your team, and your business, not the other way around.

Kamatera Review – The Best Scalable Cloud Host Yet?

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/kamatera-review-the-best-scalable-cloud-host-yet/

Kamatera Review – The Best Scalable Cloud Host Yet?

This Kamatera review will help you decide whether the web host is the best option for you!

Being able to scale your resource demand effortlessly as your website grows… paying only for the resources you use… no-single-point-of-failure security guarantee… what’s not to love about cloud hosting?

As a web hosting consultant I have helped hundreds of my clients choose the best web hosts to migrate their websites to – and many times, they were also upgrading from a shared or VPS plan to cloud hosting. Kamatera has always been high up in the list of options when we were considering cloud hosts, so I decided to check out their service and take you along.

In the rest of this Kamatera review, I’ll discuss all the web host’s plans, features you can expect to enjoy, how much you should budget, real-time performance figures, their dedication to customer support, and other important factors you should look out for.

Kamatera Review

Founded in 1995, Kamatera is no new kid on the block. They offer generic cloud hosting and every other cloud hosting hybrid you can think of – from managed and unmanaged cloud servers to virtual private cloud (VPC) services and cloud VPS hosting. They also offer reseller hosting for mini hosting companies and web professionals who want to cross-sell this with their core services.

I get it. The differences between their virtual private cloud hosting and cloud VPS hosting can be subtle but don’t worry we’ll discuss them in detail.

Kamatera’s cloud hosting plans are incredibly affordable too. I also like that on all their core plans, you can choose between ready-made packages or customize your plan yourself by setting the number of CPUs, memory (RAM), traffic, storage, and bandwidth. Kamatera also allows you to choose where you want your servers to be located.

Kamatera has been reviewed by 200 users on TrustPilot and users give them a rather decent 3.2 stars. Their positive reviews are from users praising how easy it to set up a server, transparent pricing, and uncommon level of support.

Kamatera Ratings – My Personal Take

It’s been a tradition for me to always give my personal ratings of each host I recommend – and Kamatera will be no different. there’s really no guarantee you can trust the reviews that many web hosts publish on their websites. Plus many businesses doctor reviews on popular platforms like TrustPilot.

The best approach to know exactly how great a web host’s services are? A non-biased overall rating of the web host through expert eyes.

Considering Kamatera’s key features and their real-life performance, here’s how I’d rate the web host on a scale of 1-5. Note that these scores are not static and only reflect their offerings at the time of this writing:

Quality My rating Why I gave this score Features and specs 5.0 Exceptional scalability, a cloud firewall, load balancing tech, and their specialized disaster recovery service makes Kamatera one of the most reliable cloud hosts on the market. They get a resounding 5.0 stars here. Pricing 4.9 Starting at $4/month for their cloud servers, Kamatera’s services are also undoubtedly some of the cheapest on the market. Many VPS plans from other hosting providers even cost more. Performance stats 4.7 My personal tests of Kamatera’s servers recorded a response time of 270 ms. That’s really decent and up there, even though a good number of hosts still perform better so they get a 4.7 in this category. Ease of use 4.0 One of the chief complaints users filed about Kamatera was how it logged you out repeatedly with an IP error message and I experienced this first-hand. Asides that, Kamatera makes it easy to manage your website backend using cPanel, Plesk, Vesta, and CyberPanel. I give them a 4.0 here Customer support guarantee 4.5 Several call lines for their different support portals, email addresses, ticketing, and a knowledgebase are how Kamatera caters to its users’ inquiries. However, I’d have loved to see a live chat option for real-time support. I give them a 4.5 here.

Kamatera Hosting Plans and Prices – 2024

Kamatera offers cloud servers, managed cloud services, virtual private cloud hosting, cloud VPS hosting, and reseller hosting. One small caveat you need to know about Kamatera’s plans is they don’t have a money back guarantee and even if you cancel your plans within the first month, they still charge you the full month’s fee.

You can pay for any Kamatera hosting plan you’ve decided on using your credit card or via Paypal.

Kamatera cloud servers

Kamatera ‘Simple’ cloud hosting plans come in three tiers and allow you to choose your server location and server specs – Windows, Linux, or SSD-optimized.

These plans start at $4/month and you get between 1-2 vCPUs, 1-2 GB RAM of memory, 20-30 GB SSD storage, and 5TB of data transfer on all plans. I love just how much server flexibility you get with Kamatera’s hosting.

Custom cloud servers on Kamatera

What’s more? Kamatera also allows you to configure your hosting plan – you can choose the number of processors you want, where you want your data centers to be located, the amount of memory you need, amount of storage, your OS, amount of traffic, and number of IPs. You also get to decide whether you want to pay for their services per month or per hour. Amazing!

Who this is for:

Kamatera’s cloud servers are for businesses that need to be able to add or remove hosting resources when necessary. With these plans, you can manage your spending exceptionally and don’t have to pay for infrastructure you may not use. Monthly payment drives home your control over what you spend even further.

Kamatera’s managed cloud hosting

Pro Managed

Features – OS monitoring, firewall & networking management, DNS setup, server resources performance metrics, apps installation and configuration, 24/7 NOC support, dedicated account manager on plans with 10+ servers.

Price – $50/month

Premium Managed

Features – Everything in Pro Managed plus custom and application monitoring, database high availability setup, application/service updates, quicker customer agent response times, and dedicated account managers on all plans.

Price – $150/month

Who this is for:

Kamatera’s managed cloud hosting plans take the hassle of managing the technical aspect of your cloud servers out of your hands. From monitoring and setup, to technical support, reporting, and application management, the host does these critical processes for you. What’s more? Kamatera also dedicates a particular human support agent to you who’ll be in charge of your account and you can count on to respond to any inquiries you might have.

Don’t know much about the server-side of websites? Kamatera’s managed cloud hosting plans might just be for you.

Kamatera’s virtual private cloud hosting

Kamatera’s virtual private cloud (VPC) packages are exactly identical to their cloud server plans on both the ‘Simple’ and ‘Customized’ fronts. They are also priced similarly and give you the same features.

Kamatera’s reseller hosting plans

Want to create your own web hosting business or are you a web dev, IT guy, or marketing professional looking to sell web hosting with your core services as a comprehensive package to your clients? Kamatera’s reseller hosting plans are just for you.

Here are some of the benefits you get to enjoy:

Managed setup

With Kamatera’s reseller hosting, their agents support you through setting up your servers and handling client requests.

Outsourced support

You have access to Kamatera’s support team to service your clients whenever they have inquiries.

Less as you grow

The more customers you get, the more discounts you get and the less you have to pay, meaning more profitability for your business.

Ready to get started with Kamatera’s reseller hosting? You’ll need to contact their sales department by creating a support ticket:

Who this is for:

Selling web hosting is one of the best ways to scale your business as a web dev, marketer, or IT professional. You can offer these as part of a comprehensive package and your clients are more likely to buy from you since they already buy your core services from you.

And for web-hosting-only businesses, you can rest assured that you have a business that’s evergreen. Websites will always need website hosting to stay online and it’s an excellent recurring revenue model.

Kamatera Features

Here’s an overview of some of Kamatera’s main features:

SSD storage

Custom hosting plans

Superior load balancing technology

High-performance block storage

Cloud firewall

Transparent pricing

Kamatera, as a cloud-only host, provides premium features that emphasize superior performance and security with its packages.

But some of its more unique features are the load balancers that instantly distribute workloads across a network of servers, ensuring high speeds and quick response times.

Kamatera’s block storage technology emulates a virtual private disk for your cloud plans and ensures there’s no single point of failure. It also ensures extremely low latency (or very quick response times and data transfer) further improving the performance of your website.

Kamatera Performance Tests

Your web host’s servers are your website home and how they perform are exactly how your website will perform. Some important factors to consider when choosing a hosting provider like Kamatera are the server response speeds and uptime.

The web host’s server speed is a measure of how quickly their servers respond and send back your website data to a visitor. On the other hand, the uptime measures the availability of their servers – i.e how much of the time their servers are online to serve up your website’s content to visitors.

The quicker the server speeds are, the less time it will take for your website to load. And the higher the uptime, the more reliable your website will be and you won’t risk losing traffic just because your website was down.

To measure Kamatera’s speed and uptime, I tested a website hosted on their platform and these were the results I got:

Kamatera’s servers started sending the first byte of data back in 276 ms. Quite impressive, even though I still expected better as some high performers respond in sub 100ms.

For the uptime, the website I tested has been available 100% of the time over the last 30 days:

This confirms their 99.9% uptime guarantee!

Kamatera’s Customer Support

It’s easy for web hosts to promise heaven and earth but once many of them take your money, it’s cricket-y silence. Kamatera does well though in terms of customer support. You can reach out to their agents via:

Phone

Kamatera has phone lines for its sales and account managers, technical support, and billing departments.

You can also reach out to Kamatera via email at [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].

I tried reaching out to their technical support agents via email and got a response in a few hours – quite decent!

Support ticket

Create a support ticket to talk with an agent, fill in your details and phone, and write down your inquiry. Kamatera will reach out to you via email.

Knowledgebase

Simple and straight-to-the-point, Kamatera’s knowledgebase is just how I like it. The built-in search engine also makes it easy to find answers to questions around server setup and security.

Blog

And finally, Kamatera has an up-to-date blog with relevant posts on latest industry information for website and business owners.

Kamatera Security Features

If there’s one thing I like about Kamatera, it’s their security guarantee. First, is their native Cloud Firewall designed to protect your website from attacks while monitoring your servers in real time.

Kamatera’s Cloud Firewall allows you to set rules and filter data packets, exclusively authorizing the entry of certified and approved data packets to your servers. What’s more? The firewall can also function as a VPN giving you even more functionality!

Another core part of Kamatera’s security is the disaster recovery portal. Unforeseen events can impact your website severely. Kamatera’s disaster recovery provides backups, recovery, and failover systems to minimize service disruptions.

Your website’s database is archived at restore points for immediate recovery. And finally, Kamatera’s backup machines are automatically triggered in the event of a system failure to ensure your user experience is not affected.

Kamatera’s hosting plans also allow you to install a free Lets Encrypt SSL certificate, giving your website the padlock seal of trust in the eyes of search engines.

Kamatera User Friendliness – Ease of Use

How to register an account on Kamatera

Setting up an account on Kamatera is super easy. Simply select the plan you want and click on ‘Create server’. You’ll be redirected to the sign up page:

Fill in your email and choose a password you can remember easily – your password should contain at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, a number, and should be at least 8 characters long. Click on ‘Create Free Account’

You’ll receive a confirmation link in your email. Click on it and your account should be ready to go!

How to create a server on Kamatera

To create a new server on Kamatera, from your account dashboard, navigate to “My Cloud” on the left and under the dropdown options, select “Create New Server”

Next, select your preferred data center location and then the operating system you want on the server.

Once that’s done, choose the number of CPUs and specify your server specs – RAM and SSD storage amount.

And finally, configure the fine print – backup, select whether you want a dedicated account manager, set a password, and select your billing schedule. Click on ‘Create server’ and it should be done in a few minutes.

Kamatera control panel

Kamatera doesn’t come with a custom control panel like some other high performing hosts – SiteGround, Hostinger, and A2Hosting – however, Kamatera gives you access to cPanel, Plesk, Vesta, and CyberPanel.

How to install WordPress on Kamatera

The swiftest way to deploy WordPress on Kamatera is via your control panel. Using cPanel as an example, we’ll use the Softaculous installer:

In your cPanel account, navigate to ‘Tools’ and click on ‘Softaculous Apps Installer’.

In the search engine, type in ‘WordPress’. Click ‘Install’ and then ‘Choose protocol’.

Next, choose the domain name you want WordPress installed on and configure the directory. If you’re not sure, just choose the default values and proceed.

Configure your ‘Site Name’ and ‘Site description’. Whatever you put here will be shown in the title bar of a website visitor’s browser.

Next, configure your ‘Admin Username’, ‘Admin password’, and ‘Admin Email’. These are the login details you will use to access your WordPress dashboard once it is installed.

Select the auto update boxes for WordPress, plugins, and themes.

Now configure where you want your website backups to be stored and check the ‘Automated backups’ so Softaculous makes backups of your website at specified intervals.

Review all the installation options and click ‘Install’. Voila!

Kamatera Server Footprint

If Kamatera had just one thing going for them, it’d be their continent-wide server footprint. Their servers are spread across dozens of data centers in Europe, the Americas, and Asia and several countries in between.

This guarantees exceptional website performance for businesses targeting audiences spread across the globe.

Conclusion – Should You Choose Kamatera?

Kamatera is a very decent dedicated cloud host and their performance and built-in features are no joke. I recommend Kamatera if you’re looking for affordable packages and have outgrown your shared/VPS plans.

Their block storage, load balancers, cloud firewall, and disaster recovery ensure your website performs exceptionally and is protected from bad actors.

My only fault with Kamatera would be their account creation process. Their IP address protocol system glitches often and may log you out for no reason at all.

WordPress Hosting Guide

WordPress has changed the way we make and manage websites by providing an easy-to-use platform for bloggers, businesses, and everyone in between. But even the most experienced web users may find it hard to navigate WordPress hosting. It's easy to find a hosting service that fits your needs, whether you want shared hosting or a private server. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the complexities of WordPress hosting, empowering you to make informed decisions regarding your website's online visibility.

What does WordPress hosting mean?

WordPress hosting is a type of web hosting designed for WordPress sites. It works best with WordPress blogs.

Various hosting companies provide diverse WordPress hosting packages. These typically include convenient features such as automatic updates, custom WordPress themes, and one-click installation of WordPress, relieving you of the need to handle these tasks manually.

You don't have to sign up for WordPress hosting just because you have a WordPress site. It's fine to host the site normally. However, the best way to make your WordPress site run faster, safer, and available all the time is to connect it to a WordPress hosting plan.

WordPress hosting advantages

Using WordPress hosting for your website can help it in many ways. These are the seven most important:

1. Faster: WordPress hosting can make your website faster and better at what it does. One reason for this is that WordPress hosting companies use fast computers that are set up to work best with WordPress sites.

2. Security: Most WordPress hosting companies offer extra security features like scanning for malware and finding intrusions. This can help you relax because you'll know that your site is safe from possible risks.

3. Scalability: If your website grows, you might need to upgrade your hosting plan to handle the extra traffic and data storage needs. However, it's easy to change your WordPress hosting plan to fit your needs.

4. Better uptime: WordPress hosting companies can ensure that your website is online more often. This means that people will be able to access your website more often, which could lead to more visits and sales.

5. Better customer service: If you host your website with a WordPress hosting business, you will be able to get better customer service. What this means is that you can get help from the server company if you need it.

6. More freedom: WordPress hosting gives you more freedom to pick the plugins, styles, and other features you want for your website. When you use WordPress hosting, it's easy to add or remove features without making changes to the whole website.

7. Saves money: WordPress hosting can help you save money on your hosting fees. For this reason, WordPress hosting companies often give discounts and other deals to people who host their websites with them.

8. Better SEO: WordPress hosting gives you access to many SEO tools and resources that can help your website's search engine optimization (SEO).

9. More features: Many WordPress hosts offer extra features, like installing famous plugins and themes with just one click, that can make running your website easier.

Tips for picking a WordPress hosting service

No matter which way you look, a WordPress host is advertising its service as the best one for you. Do your research and consider all of your choices before making a decision.

In particular, when picking a WordPress hosting plan, you should think about things like speed, security, and customer service.

1. Performance

If you want your site to work at its best, think about its uptime. If your site can't be reached, it can have bad effects like less traffic and customers leaving. Make sure that the host you choose guarantees that their service will be up at least 99% of the time.

It should also have a content delivery network (CDN) and built-in caching, which are both great for making pages load faster.

You could also test your site's speed yourself by using one of the free WordPress hosts or getting your money back. Tools like PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom can help you determine whether a host really speeds up your site.

2. Scalability

Scalability can affect your site's bottom line in the same way that speed can.

If you are a new website owner, choose the cheapest hosting option. That's fine. This type of WordPress hosting might not be good for you if your site gets a lot of visitors. Your plan might need to give your site more resources as it grows.

One example is that you might have an outage if your WordPress site can't handle a lot of visitor traffic.

So, pick a web host that can help your business grow and let you add more computers as needed to handle more traffic.

Check to see if the host offers plans that can be changed or plans that go above shared hosting, like VPS hosting. So, you won't have to move web hosts when the number of visitors grows.

3. Security

Security is another important factor to consider when picking a WordPress web host. To ensure smooth operation, you must keep your data and the data of your customers safe.

Many WordPress hosts offer strong security measures to keep your data safe from various cyberattacks and lower the risk.

Some of these are:

SSL certificates

Web Application Firewall, or WAF

Secure shell (SSH) access

DDoS protection

Malware scanner

4. Prices

Since each WordPress host has a different price range, it's best to look at a few and compare plans and prices to find the best one for you. Some web hosts, for example, charge more in the long run, so as you grow, things can quickly get pricey.

Also, watch out for any hidden fees. Some hosts charge extra for extra protection or for exceeding your bandwidth limit.

If you're looking for a web host, look for deals that let you save money while you try their services.

5. Customer support

When you run a WordPress site, you must remember good support. This is especially important if you're new. Also, things do break down, so it's good to know that your friend will be there for you if something goes wrong. So, pick a web host like MyResellerHome that has live customer support 24/7.

Prior to committing to a hosting company, it's crucial to assess their support system. Look for providers that offer multiple avenues for communication, such as phone and email, ensuring you have a variety of options to reach out for assistance.

Also, you can check out the host's support team on your own to see how quickly and well they can help you. Talk to them in real-time and write down how long it takes for them to answer if they offer live chat support.

Types of WordPress hosting services

Shared WordPress hosting

Shared WordPress hosting is the least expensive way to store your website and is best for small sites or people who are just starting with websites.

When you rent or get a small part of a single computer from a web host, this is called shared hosting. This means that you and other website owners share the server's resources.

If one site uses fewer of the shared resources, it could slow down your site. This is one of the problems with shared hosting plans.

Another con is that you won't be able to change how the server works—if you use a shared server, you won't be able to make the hosting setting fit your needs.

Virtual private server (VPS) WordPress hosting

A hypervisor divides one physical server into several virtual servers in this type of hosting. There will be a part of the server that is only for your site, so you won't have to share bandwidth and RAM with other users. This makes performance and protection better.

When you use VPS WordPress hosting, the rules are the same, but each site will run on WordPress. This means that the server environment will be set up to work best with WordPress sites, giving you better speed and security than a regular VPS server.

Dedicated WordPress hosting

When you pay for dedicated WordPress hosting, you get a computer all to yourself. You won't have to share disk space, memory, or CPU with other people, and you'll be able to see everything on the server as root.

If you get a dedicated hosting plan, your site will run faster, be safer, and be online more often because you won't have to share resources with other people like you do on shared servers.

Managed WordPress hosting

When you use managed WordPress hosting, your web host takes care of all the back-end management of your WordPress site. Things like maintenance, updates, protection, and backups are part of this.

Managed WordPress hosting plans offer faster site speeds, more security, 24/7 customer support, and more specialized features.

Who should use hosting for WordPress?

When it comes to CMS platforms, WordPress is the most famous. WordPress lets you make any website, like a blog, an e-commerce site, or something else. In order to make your website with WordPress, WordPress hosting is the best option. For these reasons, a WordPress hosting plan is the best way to make sure that WordPress sites run quickly and safely.

Conclusion

Picking the right WordPress hosting company is very important for the growth of your site. You can make an informed choice that fits your needs by thinking about things like speed, security, support, and scalability. Make sure that the hosting you choose for your WordPress site meets its needs, whether it's shared hosting, controlled hosting, or VPS hosting. As your website changes and grows, remember to look at and improve your hosting plan on a regular basis. To find the best hosting for your WordPress project, take the time to learn about and compare the different choices. Be smart about the choices you make to build a strong online reputation.
