2 Fast Hosting Servers for best loading performance of website

Fast Hosting Server can make your website load quickly, improve user experience, conversions and revenue. You might have noticed the warning of “Reduce Initial Server Response Time” while testing your site on Google Page Speed Insights and GTmetrix. Have you ever thought about what exactly it is and how to improve it?

Although there can be multiple reasons for Slow Server Response time most common reason is slow server. When you enter the URL of your site and press enter, the browser sends a request to the server to get data. If your server takes time to respond to these requests, it will result in high server response time making the website’s initial loading slow and a bad user experience.

Some improvements which can improve server response time are:

Setting up Cache for Static Content
Using CDN(Content Delivery Network) to serve content from nearest datacenter and reduce server load.
Making sure you are using Latest version of PHP or any other Server Side Language

I recommend implementing all other fixes for speed optimization of a website as well apart from the above-mentioned fixes.

Some hosting servers are so bad and have low resources that the only solution to improve server response time is to move away from them. So you might be thinking about which Server should you choose for getting the best performance and real user experience. I’m going to recommend two fast hosting servers that have the best server-side cache implementation.

Cloudways

Cloudways is one of the top cloud hosting providers out there. They have an advanced cache mechanism to optimize their server. The cache can be managed through a dashboard which is easy to use for customers. Memcached and Varnish Cache have been implemented from the server-side due to which websites experience faster performance on the backend as well apart front frontend. PHP variables can also be easily managed through the Cloudways dashboard.

MySQL database can be directly accessed from the dashboard. To access files you will have to connect to the server through FTP using an app like FileZilla.

Cloudways offers servers from vendors like VULTR, Digitalocean, AWS, Linode, and Google Cloud. I would recommend you to go for either “Digital Ocean” or “VULTR” as these two are the most popular and have the best performance.

Pricing: Packages of Digital Ocean start from $10/month and Vultr starts from $11/month. Higher packages will allow more resources. So you can choose a package according to the requirements of your website considering the traffic and resources that your website needs.

Siteground

Siteground is best among all shared Hosting providers. It’s expensive than other shared hosting servers but its performance is much higher than other shared Hosting Servers. Memcached, Dynamic Cache and Nginx cache implemented from the server’s side make backend and frontend much faster than other shared hosting providers.

It has user-friendly Site Tools which also include File Manager. So, if you are not comfortable accessing files through FTP, the File manager present in Site Tools will make your life easier. MySQL database can also be directly accessed from phpMyAdmin in Site Tools.

PHP version can also be easily controlled within Site Tools. Setting PHP version to “Managed PHP” will make sure that Siteground automatically decides the PHP version for your website according to compatibility.

Daily Backups are part of all the packages of the shared web hosting plan of Siteground.

For WordPress websites, SG provides a free plugin SG optimizer which makes use of Siteground performance features to full potential. It provides options to configure different types of cache provided by Siteground, configure HTTPS, optimize CSS and JS, Compress images and conversion to webp format, and a couple of other useful features.

Last but not least they have great customer support that goes above and beyond to fix all the issues faced by the customers.
