What Hosting Plan Level Do I Need?

Server Levels

It can be a bit tricky to know what size webhosting account you need. Each use case is a little bit different and can depend on many factors, but generally we ask a simple question: what are you doing on your website or app and how much traffic do you get.  If you can answer this question, then it will help you to know which plan could be appropriate, based on how much "power" space and speed you might need. With webhosting, you do generally get what you pay for!

We indicate the amount of power and size available on the server for our Web Hosting Plans. Lower Server Levels have access to fewer features and have more users sharing a set number of available resources. Conversely as you would expect: Higher Server Levels have access to greater number of features and have fewer users and higher resources available on that machine, meaning more access to more resources, more of the time.

If you have a static or simple 'brochure' website, you may be fine with lower level plans. On the other hand, if you have a 'resource hungry' or more intensive website for example, a website using WordPress with multiple plugins, ecommerce or other 'dynamic' apps - or if you get a lot of visitor traffic and need to serve multiple users quickly & frequently, you will likely need a higher server level, so you should look at level 3 or 4 and above for these.

  • Level 1 has smaller shared system resources and a larger number of shared customers - suits small static websites.
  • Level 2 has medium shared system resources and a medium number of shared customers - suits small-medium 'standard' websites.
  • Level 3 has medium - bursting shared system resources and a small-medium number of shared customers - suitable for smaller ecommerce websites.
  • Level 4 has a larger amount of shared system resources and smaller number of shared clients - suits medium - large 'standard' websites or small to medium eCommerce.
  • Level 5 ~ 10 indicates a dedicated machine with dedicated resources suitable for dedicated sites, or large / hungry apps - you chose the amount of resource you need.

Often, we find users begin on the Standard or Advanced level plans and progress accordingly.  Feel free to get in touch or call us for a chat to find out what would suit your needs.
