What are the advantages of Business Value over Standard Value?
The Business Value plan is hosted on a server with LiteSpeed web server while the Standard Value plan is hosted on a server with an Apache web server. This is a key difference as LiteSpeed web server is faster serving resources than Apache, so web pages are running faster.
Also the Business Value plan belongs to the Business Line series and has some additional quality features that do not exist in the Standard Line series and are the following:
See the ferequently asked questions on the Business Line, for more information on the above features.
Finally, the system resources (RAM, I/O, Iops, Entry Processes) are more in the Business Value plan than in the Standard Value plan, as well as the mailboxes are twice in capacity.
Why does the one month plan cost 1 euro?
The 1 euro is a symbolic price in terms of cost, but essential for the procedural part of our subscription services, as even for this small amount, our potential customer should be able to complete a standard order in our system.
So with this low cost transaction, the interested customer gets in touch with our service, get informed on exactly how our website works and is able to know how we operate overall in terms of ordering, pricing, availability and quality of our services. Even these theoretically insignificant and formal procedures are often a selection criterion for new collaborations, thus establishing a clear relationship from the beginning with our company and its potential customers.
The goal of the service is to serve customers who want a better level of services than we usually find in typical shared hosting solutions. But in order to evaluate the services provided, one must be able, at the lowest possible cost, to try and decide whether one's needs are met or not. With the 1 euro plan, our customers will be sure if they want to continue their cooperation with us or if they will look for another partner.
Is the Business Value hosting plan suitable for an eshop?
The Business Value plan also the Business Line series in general, are designed to host mid-range websites and eshops, with the aim of providing high quality services at competitive prices. If you have a large eshop or a website with a lot of traffic, then it may be best to opt for one of the Semi Dedicated series plans, which are designed for high-end websites. But if you have a medium or small website/eshop, such as the vast majority of websites and eshops we find on the internet, then the Business Value plan is what you need.
This is a value for money solution, as quality services are available at a relatively low cost, both in terms of system resources and technical support.
To have a point of comparison, a WordPress site with WooCommerce and 1500 products, it can be considered a small to medium-sized online store, so it could easily be hosted in the Business Value plan or in the rest of the Business Line plans.
I have an OpenCart eshop, can i host it in the Business Value plan?
The OpenCart , along with WordPress + WooCommerce and PrestaShop, are some of the most widely used eshop applications. OpenCart in particular is considered one of the lightest applications and produces online stores efficient and fast to navigate.
Special interventions in OpenCart:
The OpenCart can operate faster with optimizations that can be done in its database, with indexes that can be added to selected fields and modifications to the sql tables schema.
So if you have an OpenCart eshop and host it on our company server, you can ask our technicians to check if improvements can be made at the database level. This should be done as soon as the installation of OpenCart in the hosting package is completed, so that some standard checks can be done before the site returns to production. However, it is possible to take the necessary actions on the fly if you have an eshop that is already running in production.
Special mechanisms with increased requirements:
In recent years, eshop owners' interest in interacting with xml third-party products and dropshipping techniques has grown. Practically, products from third-party manufacturers are integrated into eshops, in an automated way and synchronization is done using the xml technology. At OpenCart, there are many such xml integrations and many of our clients use some of them.
So in cases where the synchronization includes many thousands of products, there is an occasional need for more system resources in order to integrate all these products in the eshop. In these cases where processing power requirements are increasing, you may need one of the Semi Dedicated hosting plans. But in all other cases of a typical eshop, without special integrations and without special needs, the Business Value plan will fully cover the needs of your eshop.
I have an eshop in Wordpress + WooCommerce - will the Business Value hosting plan cover my needs?
The combination of Wordpress + WooCommerce, is a reference point for the configuration we make on our hosting plans. Because WordPress is the most common application on the internet and WooCommerce the most popular plugin for building eshops, we always evaluate our hosting packages with serious consideration of these softwares.
Many of our customers have chosen the Business Value plan for hosting their WordPress + WooCommerce eshop. The LiteSpeed technology of the server, combined with the system resources adequacy, technical support and Business services of the hosting plan, are constitute a complete hosting service to host your eshop.
If you have a medium or small eshop and you are interested for an affordable and highly performing hosting subscription, then the Business Value package is what you need. But if you have a very big eshop, with many thousands of products and demanding integrations with third party services (xml dropshipping etc.), then you may need one of the packages in the series Semi Dedicated, for high-demand eshops.
