In short:<\/strong> Hosting prices depend mainly on disk space and type (SSD\/NVMe), CPU and RAM resources, number and size of e-mail accounts, backups, SSL, server location and technical support. \u201cUnlimited hosting\u201d offers really mean server resources shared between many sites.

What determines hosting prices?<\/h2>\n

Factor<\/th>\nEffect on price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Disk space and type<\/td>\nSSD and NVMe are faster; more space costs more.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
CPU and RAM<\/td>\nThe more sites on a server, the fewer resources per site \u2013 the reason cheap plans are slow.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
E-mail accounts<\/td>\nNumber of accounts and mailbox size.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Backups<\/td>\nDaily, automatic, off-server backups.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SSL certificate<\/td>\nFree Let’s Encrypt SSL is now standard.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Technical support<\/td>\nFast, competent support makes the biggest difference when problems occur.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Is \u201cunlimited hosting\u201d really unlimited?<\/h2>\n

Technically, a server’s disk, CPU and memory are never unlimited. \u201cUnlimited\u201d plans share resources among hundreds of sites and throttle them when usage grows, which often leads to e-mail problems, slow pages and outages.<\/p>\n

What to check before buying hosting<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Ask for real resources (disk, CPU, RAM).<\/li>\n

  3. Ask about backup frequency and restores.<\/li>\n
  4. Check whether e-mail is included.<\/li>\n
  5. Find out how and when you can reach support.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    No. Server resources are physically limited; unlimited plans throttle resources as usage grows.<\/p>\n
