I’m currently with HostPapa, but I’ve run into some issues. After joining, I realized I had to upgrade my email plan because the base plan only offered 1GB. I upgraded, but now my small, static WordPress site occasionally spikes and hits max resources for a few seconds, even though my typical usage is minimal. They’re now encouraging me to upgrade my hosting plan as well, but this feels unnecessary for such a low-traffic site.
Any suggestions for a reasonable and reliable host with decent customer support? I’d appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!
If they’re recommending an upgrade, they should provide clear data showing why. How small is your website exactly? How much storage are you using, and how many visitors do you get?
It’s definitely frustrating to be pushed for an upgrade, especially with minimal traffic. For a small, static site, you really shouldn’t need more than a basic shared hosting plan. Look for a provider that clearly states resource limits and won’t pressure you into unnecessary upgrades.
If you’re looking to switch, check out reviews and maybe look at the ‘Friends of webhosting’ section for solid recommendations. Reliable support and transparent pricing can make a huge difference.
I use Nixihost. They offer plans with free unlimited emails and adjustable storage right from the control panel. In three years with them, I’ve had minimal downtime, and their support is quick and responsive.
