Mate - first KZbin comment in years for me. This video was exceptionally helpful for an absolute noob like me. Thank you.

[@Goldenglossify]

In-depth testing & research and incredibly easy to follow. Thank you Hogan, your time and efforts are much appreciated!

[@HoganChua]

My pleasure!

[@busyrand]

Fantastic video! You helped me out a lot with the Hostinger Review video, and I was able to knock it out of the park with a client. I'm a full-stack developer, but that completely different than having to make all the decisions for the project myself and deliver it to a client. You really simplify things very well and your content stands the test of time.

[@ladynami7453]

I appreciate you putting these together; my friends and I agreed that you did a great job. Keep doing what you're doing, man; this is wonderful.

Excellent video. Thank you for putting so much effort into the analysis and providing the tutorial. I'm thinking of migrating 5 sites that I currently have on a VPS another company that starts in the word IN.

[@johnravi3887]

Hi Hogan, It was a great video! I love Cloudways, and many of my friends use this as well. This video was a great resource, and I think it will help me make a better decision as well. I really gained a lot of information from your video, which will be invaluable in making a decision. I really appreciate you taking the time and creating this video. It will help a lot of users, and I will share this video in my network to help my friends make the best choice as well.

[@drjdidier]

Awesome content! Thanks so much for doing the heavy lifting! Quick question- for running a wp landing page site with no future e-commerce needs and simple contact forms, i suppose either digital ocean or maybe linode (for better reliability?). How robust is the protection provided by cloudways? What recommendation would you make to harden the site? Thanks! Subbed.

While seeking for a managed cloud hosting solution, I came across Cloudways. Due to the fact that they were giving a discount, I decided to try them out (TST20). The setup was easy, and the support has been wonderful.

[@ScottPolderman]

Wow, that's fast, thanks for sharing! Very informative.

Thanks Scott

[@kerimdurak6776]

[@sizzlingmughal]

hello hogan i have question, that what's the difference between (Cloudways Server) so You Mean When We Buy a server we need to connect everything manually? like conneting ip addres etc all that like you have showed. & when we buy a hosting from hostinger (Cloudstartup) do it works same? they provide us the same server and speed? or it will be slower then this which you have shown to us because i have seen your multiple videos you did a great job and i have learned alot and i'm going to make a purchase from hostinger for my ecommerce website (cloud startup) plan i'm going to choose my website will be a monetized website to plus related to affliate marketting. Which hosting you will recommend me? (Cloud startup From hostinger) ? or any other

[@abdulhakimsis1662]

Just tried it, amazing speed - seriously have tried many shared hosts which say they are fast but this is on another lvel

[@HoganChua]

Yes it is :) glad you enjoy it

[@davidpouet1372]

Great work thanks ! Can you share those Google spreadsheets ?

[@WillPage]

Paused at 52 secs to say I expect Digital Ocean to be exceptionally fast. B4 SG moved to Google infrastructure they were so quick. Unfortunately I have 100+ sites hosted with them.

[@HoganChua]

I think SiteGround for 2022 - have improved in terms of speeds now :) after a while.

[@WillPage]

@@HoganChua As of when do you think? TTFB issues for cloud are still a problem. I find it's good, functionally it's 10/10 but unfortunately, core web vitals means everything now and expensive platforms need to host Wordpress fast!!

[@oyuncu7892]

Video has several advantages.

[@ericjeanette-homefinances2510]

I liked the video but still walking away confused as to which server to choose. I am migrating three sites and my main concern is speed and load times. I was thinking that I knew which to choose until he mentioned the difference between AMD and Intel and that only Digital Ocean used AMD. What I need to know is this... if price is not a factor, which choice will result in the fastest speeds?

[@HoganChua]

If price is no issue. I'd go with AWS :) 2nd probably Vultr HF. Sorry what I meant was that on Cloudways - DigitalOcean (Intel) is available. Not the AMD one, which is slightly faster.

[@yagamilight64]

Hey Hogan, I'm about to purchase a Cloudways plan, From your amazing comparison I hesitate between Linode and Digital Ocean. What made me hesitant is the bumpy deviation of Linode but it seemed to have better response times in terms of speed. Overall, which one would you go for? Vultr, Linode, or DigitalOcean?

[@HoganChua]

If its a static type of site (small business site/simple blog) then probably DigitalOcean standard $10/m. And with DigitalO. You can scale into the premium droplets if you need extra performance. If it a dynamic site (woocommerce, membership, learning management system etc) - Vultr HF will give you more performance. And AWS (if reliability is an issue and if you want to can scale up and down). Linode newark performed pretty well for static website speed tests.

[@yagamilight64]

@@HoganChua Thank you so much mate. I finally decided with DigitalOcean as it seems to be more consistent. I'll make sure to use your Coupon code. I appreciate Hogan! Keep up the good work ;)

[@HoganChua]

@@yagamilight64 no worries :) Awesome, I like how they can scale intro premium droplets. The only downside is they dont have a server in Australia yet 😀

[@yagamilight64]

@@HoganChua My audience is from all around the world, so I cant base my judgment on one country. If I connect Cloudflare CDN to cloudways will that solve the Australia location matter?

[@HoganChua]

Yes you can use that - I found that the CloudwaysCDN (stackpath) works pretty well and very integrated with their Breeze Cache Plugin (or you can use others i.e. WProcket is a good premium cache plugin) - share.getcloudapp.com/6qurY5ye

Best comparsion video. I have one question? I heard some people say AWS is pay as you go so its cost are very low. I have site with 1000 visitors/ day. Informational site with few images What host do you recommend me

[@HoganChua]

I'd recommend probably DigitalOcean standard 1GB Ram $10/m. Upgrade to the premium droplets if you want - but doesnt seem like it makes too much of a difference. But see if they have the server location near your visitors.

[@hackerstec5136]

@@HoganChua thanks man by the way does aws outside the cloudways cost more

[@HoganChua]

@@hackerstec5136 if you go to aws directly it will be less than cloudways but it will be more management and technical (so if you have the technical know-how and time) you can try it. I recommend try the free-trial of cloudways see if you like it and compare.
