100% Adam, You've recommended InMotion Hosting & I've used it religiously since. Never any issues at all. It is nice to hear about a free SSL, it's about time thank you for another great video.
Thanks Adam, I have only used Inmotion. I love your videos and saw the review you did about them sometime back and used your offer and signed up with them. They offer fantastic support especially for a non tech like me! This is great news on SSL. Keep up the great work Adam
Hey Adam, I'm a bit of a greenhorn when it comes to self-hosting and chose to go with SiteGround. Love their support!! Also, wanted to give you a huge a shout-out and thank you for your tuts. Without your amazing content I might have gone in a different direction only to later regret it. Same applies for Theme's (GPP) and Page Builder's (EP). Thanks so much for doing a great job!! You have become a trusted digital friend.
Hey, thanks so much. I try to bring the best and most current info to help people make informed choices that will benefit them. Thanks for watching, and for coming back.
I have never had a problem with Blue Host, but I am considering changing to one of your recommended ones. I am interested to learn more, since my three years with BH is up next month.
Hi Adam, I am using Inmotion and so far i'm very happy, especially with the customer service. Since I'm a relative newbie this was very important. I never have to wait more than a minute or two to get a response and they are always patient and helpful. Going to look into the SSL now.
Hay Adam, just in time. As always your videos are Great! I have been looking to change hosting companies and at one point I looked at inmostion hosting but at the time they did not offer free SSL. I already have a paid SSL from COMODO, but free is always good. Thank you, Adam!
Great videos Adam, i use inmotion hosting for just 1 month now, i have a resellers account. They are great, very fast very secure, and outstanding support, imagine that i am in Greece with 7 hours time difference and 3 times that i wanted help they were always there, 24/7 real support
Hey Don, yes I do have two videos regarding changing web hosts. One of them I show you how to create a cPanel backup and uploaded to your new Webhost and then asked them to restore it. This method will migrate everything including websites, emails, and databases. The other video is just on how to move a website only.
Hi Adam, I have most of my sites hosted on Dreamhost. They offer free SSL with Let's encrypt and their pricing is very good. Sometimes I find their dashboard to be confusing. I am thinking of switching to Inmotion. What are your thoughts about Dreamhost?
I am using inmotion hosting purchased through your affiliate link....It was one of the best decision I made for hosting my websites. Thank you Adam! Will the older customers get the free ssl given by inmotion hosting?
Excelente tutorial. Estoy usando actualmente Siteground y lo recomiendo como una muy buena opción para su hosting. Antes estaba con Hostgator pero tuve que salir corriendo por su pésimo respaldo técnico.
InMotion's hosting accounts are confusing. Business hosting and WordPress hosting seem to have the same pricing points and same specs. Which one should we choose going through your link?
Setting up my first website. Going with Inmotion Hosting. They offer BoldGrid as a preloaded page builder. Love your tutorials on Elementor, would I be able to use Elementor instead? Are they comparable? How do they size up? Thank you
I don't recommend using bold grid. Elementor is far superior. This is why in the different tutorial videos that I've created on setting up an account with InMotion hosting, I never show people how to install bold grid because it's just not that good. I mean it is good but there's better stuff out there.
I quit having web sites around 6 months ago and now looking at trying again, at 80 years of age some of the 'knots' getting on line can be difficult, after being brought up using a hammer and chisel the IM and web scene is complex. I have a load of mech engineering Power Point presentations I would like to get out of the computer into the world of hammer & chisel and so I will try once more and look at Inmotion to restart. Ernie Terry
They look like good options but still a bit overpriced, even with the SSL certs - I have been with Media Temple for a few years, they have great support and I currently run 14 sites on there and I pay 20 bucks a month. Ok, they don't offer free SSL certs but still, better value I think.
Hey Adam. Great vids, thanks for your hard work! Quick question for you. I was almost about to sign up with A2 hosting but decided to go with hostinger because it was less expensive. Hostinger offers a free SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt and the ability to add Let's encrypt to all future websites for free - but apparently I have to manually update the SSLs on the additional site. Wondering if you have an opinion/review on hostinger? I have 30 days to change to change my mind so if there are any red flags you can point out, I'd rather change to one of these three options. Thanks so much.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies yeah me too, that'd what tech support said. Who knows. They're email server was down for 2 hours today. And their tech support is not the fastest. If these little things keep adding up I think I'll switch.
I Just used your link to sign up to InMotion and to move over from Host Gator as I don't have SSL with them and it is a pain to get. Thank you Adam. Once again great advice & video. Regards
Very awesome to hear Stuart. Make sure you send me over a copy of your receipt if you like access to my courses. Also I have a video on how to backup your entire cPanel account with Hostgator then upload it to InMotion and asked them to restore it.
Okay, doing it. Switching from Bluehost over to InMotion. I just chatted with the InMotion sales people and they were super helpful and fast. Looks like they'll be a little faster too.
Just keep in mind that they will migrate 3 things for you, so if you have more then 1 website, you should have them migrate your entire cPanel. I have a video on how you can do most of it yourself to get it done faster. I hope you enjoy the hosting.
Just seeing your comment. I am currently with Bluehost and was thinking about switching to another hosting. Was looking to go with GoDaddy because I haven't done any research. How's everything going so far with the hosting?
Ha Ha, I believe you. I have done my research all day today, and you should be getting a receipt from me soon:) Adam you are CLUTCH!!! congrats on the 50k subscribers
Hii Adam, I need a hosting plan for my 10 websites for my INDIAN visiters, Which should I choose between SITEGROUND , INMOSTION HOSTING and A2 HOSTING. Please help me you all.
Hi Adam, have a question for you. The free SSL's which are included in the hosting package of these service providers, are they free for lifetime or is it just free for the first year?
In actual fact, if you go with a premium quality host you gain a lot of SEO benefit, this isn't spoken about too much but it is true. I use a very non-sexy hosting service, but it is pretty darn good - WPgateway
Adam what plan are you on in cloudways and which server (Digital ocean, gcloud) and which setting would you recommend on cloudways for some one heavy on plugins, and has couple of subdomains ?
Wanted to get a Reseller package with InMotion but they do not offer free SSL certificates at the moment, they dont know when they will add this service. Very dissapointing
They are working on it. It's coming, but it is a massive undertaking. Last I heard it would be a few month, but I will ask my contact there for some more concrete info.
I've used all three and they all have their good points (and not so good ones), but they're all so much better than the EIG/GD crowd. I think your SSL comments in regard to Google are a little misleading. There isn't any data to support the fact that non-ssl websites (still) are being "penalised" in SERPs. If you said that Google looks favourably on a site having a correctly configured and installed SSL then I would agree with you. Plus, especially for us in Europe with GDPR coming in, there's going to be a higher concentration on businesses having an SSL so that the collection and communication of user data is secure. Nick
Hello, I haven't had any problems with HG, but I'm considering moving my ecomm site from them to IMH come renewal time or maybe sooner. I started with HG hatchling earlier this year, then changed to the baby cloud package. Neither package offers free ssl, and I'm not really sure about security of the cloud. Changing hosts makes me nervous, since I don't really understand it. Could I leave my domain name with HG, but host with IMH? My site is not developed yet; still very empty, so I think a change now would be better than later when it's built up. Right? Thank You.
Adam, who do YOU host with. Did I miss that? :-) I love the idea of getting comodo SSL, but is the performance good on inMotion, for a VPS server? Do you know?
So I'm not trashing but just sharing my experience. I currently have a Siteground Grow Big and some Reseller credits. By far, super easy to install LE SSL. As far as support, it amazes me how good it is, I can see why their hosting is more expensive than others. I literally just got an A2 reseller account few days ago. Support is helpful but not nearly as good as Siteground. But they do respond so that's a good thing. Unfortunately today was a bit of a let down. My reseller account went down, no biggie, because I can just submit a ticket and find out what's going on. Well, to my surprise, the A2 website was down also, it was showing the cloudflare popup websites show when their down. So there was no way to submit a ticket. Took about an hour or so for the site to come back up. Will let this one hiccup slide and keep on testing A2 for now. I definitely want to try out Inmotion hosting Adam, but over on the WP hosting group it doesn't get much love. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
Hey Luis, before I responded to your comment I wanted to join that Facebook group that you mentioned. So I joined it last night and took a look in the group today, I must say it's a great group. And I did see your specific comments in their about A2Hosting. Now I will say that it is not a comfortable feeling when your Webhost's own website has some downtime. It's easy to say this happens to all web hosts but even that comes across as kind of an excuse. I will say that the Webhost that you're praising and the Webhost thats praised a lot that Facebook group had downtime last month for over 15 minutes. All the accounts and their very own website, and you can verify this on Siteground's twitter feed. Now I didn't scroll back that far in the Facebook group to see if people in that Facebook group are talking about it, but people sure as heck were talking about it in other Facebook groups and it was on their own website. To Siteground's credit, the downtime was caused by denial of service attack. However I find that this is the typical reason given whenever there is downtime with any web hosting company. Anyways my point is that sometimes these things are out of anyone's control but one thing that is in their control is the quality of support they offer. And how helpful that support is, and that stinks to hear that they were not as helpful as you felt the should or could have been. Thanks for sharing your experiences here I'm sure they will be helpful to others.
Hey Adam, thanks for replying. I in no way meant to bash companies. I'm still going to give A2 a fair chance because I know this stuff happens. and yea Siteground did have downtime not long ago and I appreciate they kept customers updated. As for InMotion hosting, I actually chatted with them after I saw your video and asked about the SSL because that is the reason I'm looking for a reseller account. Their customer service was actually really good and they answered all my questions about their Free SSL. I even left a positive review for the guy that helped me. Anyways, thanks for the video.
Hey Jeffrey, optimize press used to be fantastic like four years ago. However it is old and antiquated and a very old way of doing things. A perfect example is Elementor which is free and better and every single way imaginable. It said because optimize press was ahead of the pack when it was released in 2014 but it hasn't changed at all really.
Heloo I have one problem. My Woocommerce site acts silly its something in Wp codes. i wantr reinstall WP . but before i want backup all the products i have. can you advice some ppugin?? downml doesnt work. Exporting products gives me only xml file where it arranges product imgs by codes but it doesnt save imgs. sooo iwant some how save Media files or if possible all products(imgs included)
Do I need to purchase hosting for each website I buy? Or do I just purchase one hosting package and just point the DNS servers to my hosting account such as A2. Then do you ad Wordpress to each? Thanks
Each hosting account will have a limit on the number of websites, or be unlimited. So it would depend on the plan you choose. With A2 hosting they have the number of websites listed. And yes, you just point your DNS to the hosting companies DNS servers and they take care of the rest.
Thanks, I did get A2 through you had registered names through Namesilo and it has been 36 hours since I directed it to A2 and they are still not showing up on A2. Was thinking it was because I needed a host for each. Thanks!
DNS changes can take 24 - 48 hours, but it has more to do with your home router and computer. Also, did you add the domain names to your service on A2? It would be an add-on domain name.
I paid on the swift level hosting with unlimited websites. I also have a very fast router. DO I have to do more than just change nameservers to A2? I only have done that and nothing on the A2 website. My first website that I moved to A2 was done super fast but found a better name that I wanted to use and got that one at Namesilo and thought they would show up under A2 like the first one did. Like I said it's been over 36 hours when the first one showed up in less than an hour. Guess I just need to wait?
You have to add the domain name to your hosting account. Here are the instructions on their site www.a2hosting.com/kb/cpanel/cpanel-domain-features/addon-domains-and-parked-domains#Creating-an-addon-domain
Actually, I have installed new theme & as well imported the demo data... but when i make changes in any pages or past then i got 500 error.... how to fix this please help...
I have created couple of websites on Wordpress (with heavy plugins), however the hosting provider that I'm currently using is not good as the sites are running very slow due to the plugins installed. My question is- do u have an idea whether these hosting providers will be able to handle the load of the plugins on my Wordpress sites?
I'm using Restaurant Reservations, hotel bookings, order online, Woocommerce, etc. If these plugins are already installed, and if I install additional plugins, will there be any issue with the performance of the site due to the hosting provider?
I have built a website with elementor. I bought the domain name and hosting from GoDaddy but I don't have a SSL certificate. Now my domain name is still valid for 2 more years but my hosting is about to expire. Can I use the above hostings? How can I transfery website from GoDaddy to either of these hostings?
Yes most of these web hosting companies will do a migration for you. You can even leave your domain name at Go Daddy if that's where you prefer and just have the hosting with one of these companies.
Yes I will definitely put out a tutorial video. It will hit all shared hosting accounts on the ninth of this month. So expect tutorial may be around the 15th.
A subdomain is treated as a completely independent domain name. So what I think you're asking is if the SSL certificate is a wildcard certificate that would cover all subdomains. I'm not sure however you can add as many SSL certificates that you need, so you can add one to each subdomain. My guess is that it is not a wildcard SSL certificate. Let's encrypt doesn't offer wildcard SSL certificates as well. But it's just a few extra mouse clicks to get one for each of the subdomains that you may be using it.
I already asked them after knowing about the free SSL certificate a few days ago, they told me that the certificate will be available officially and for all customers until August 9, 2017 and it's going to be free for the plan life span. And i think it's going to cover the sub-domains too, since cloudflare supports it for free, all what you have to do is to add the domain name in the account and add the sub-domain in the DNS (in Cloudflare account).
A2 swift vs turbo... Is it worth the extra $$$ to get turbo. I spoke with customer support and they couldnt specify what was best for site getting 4k uniques month, running wordpress/woocommerce. Any thoughts. Using slooooow arvixe shared and looking for much faster host. Speed is main concern...want the fastest host i can get for
Yea Siteground is metered hosting. However, I don't think you will hit their limits. I always prefer to pay for good hosting. You can go without turbo, see how it goes, then upgrade if needed.
100% because of some Google changes you HAVE TO HAVE and SSL certificate. If you don't all visitors using Google Chrome will get a big warning saying your website is not secure.
Well what happens is we get comfortable where we are at and sometimes it can be a pain to change. So I totally get that however there are better hosts out there.
I'll give this example JBL hands downs are better than Beats and cheaper too . Beats has the Advertisements over JBL, most kids don't even know about JBL.
100% Adam,
You've recommended InMotion Hosting & I've used it religiously since. Never any issues at all.
It is nice to hear about a free SSL, it's about time thank you for another great video.
You're welcome Dennis, the free SSL is gonna make things much easier.
Thanks Adam, I have only used Inmotion. I love your videos and saw the review you did about them sometime back and used your offer and signed up with them. They offer fantastic support especially for a non tech like me! This is great news on SSL. Keep up the great work Adam
Yes I just double checked my communication with them and it appears that all shared hosting accounts will have it in their account on August 9.
Hey Adam, I'm a bit of a greenhorn when it comes to self-hosting and chose to go with SiteGround. Love their support!! Also, wanted to give you a huge a shout-out and thank you for your tuts. Without your amazing content I might have gone in a different direction only to later regret it. Same applies for Theme's (GPP) and Page Builder's (EP). Thanks so much for doing a great job!! You have become a trusted digital friend.
Hey, thanks so much. I try to bring the best and most current info to help people make informed choices that will benefit them. Thanks for watching, and for coming back.
I have never had a problem with Blue Host, but I am considering changing to one of your recommended ones. I am interested to learn more, since my three years with BH is up next month.
Hi Adam, I am using Inmotion and so far i'm very happy, especially with the customer service. Since I'm a relative newbie this was very important. I never have to wait more than a minute or two to get a response and they are always patient and helpful. Going to look into the SSL now.
Great to hear! Yes, they have the easiest implementation of free SSL.
Good call with siteground, i was pretty surprised with the speeds after testing them out.
hi where is your piehost?
Does Sitegroung still good?
Hay Adam, just in time. As always your videos are Great! I have been looking to change hosting companies and at one point I looked at inmostion hosting but at the time they did not offer free SSL. I already have a paid SSL from COMODO, but free is always good. Thank you, Adam!
Yes this is new, took me 6 months of complaining to them and visiting their offices.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies Thank you Adam for talking to them. It's about time they give in!
Great videos Adam, i use inmotion hosting for just 1 month now, i have a resellers account. They are great, very fast very secure, and outstanding support, imagine that i am in Greece with 7 hours time difference and 3 times that i wanted help they were always there, 24/7 real support
Yes that is been my experience as well, that their support is always there.
Thank you Adam. With new hosting comes migration, do you have videos on that process, best tips, tools, etc for a seamless transition?
Hey Don, yes I do have two videos regarding changing web hosts. One of them I show you how to create a cPanel backup and uploaded to your new Webhost and then asked them to restore it. This method will migrate everything including websites, emails, and databases. The other video is just on how to move a website only.
Hi Adam, I have most of my sites hosted on Dreamhost. They offer free SSL with Let's encrypt and their pricing is very good. Sometimes I find their dashboard to be confusing. I am thinking of switching to Inmotion. What are your thoughts about Dreamhost?
Been with inmotion for years and never had a problem and their support has always been top notch.
Love to hear!
I am using inmotion hosting purchased through your affiliate link....It was one of the best decision I made for hosting my websites. Thank you Adam!
Will the older customers get the free ssl given by inmotion hosting?
Yes you will, it should hit your account on the 9th.
Excelente tutorial. Estoy usando actualmente Siteground y lo recomiendo como una muy buena opción para su hosting. Antes estaba con Hostgator pero tuve que salir corriendo por su pésimo respaldo técnico.

Spike Burless Inmotion has been pretty good. Their support team is much better. MUCH better.
Ha Ha, I believe you. I have done my research all day today, and you should be getting a receipt from me soon:) Adam you are CLUTCH!!! congrats on the 50k subscribers
i,m asking for website hosting for word press can load more than 1.000 visitor online without any problem > witch one you recommend for me?
Hey there, i noticed you only looked at Shared Hosting. Out of the 3, which one would you recommend for VPS or Cloud Hosting? Thanks.
Great info about free SSL Adam!
I'm already using InMotion through your link. So they also give free Comodo SSL certificate for active users?
Yes it will hit your account very soon. They gave me a schedule, let me get back to you on exactly when it should hit your account.
Hii Adam,
I need a hosting plan for my 10 websites for my INDIAN visiters,
Which should I choose between SITEGROUND , INMOSTION HOSTING and A2 HOSTING.
Please help me you all.
Hi Adam! Does your 57% discount still work for inmotion hosting? I am looking to leave Site Ground as there prices has increased dramatically.
Hi Adam, have a question for you. The free SSL's which are included in the hosting package of these service providers, are they free for lifetime or is it just free for the first year?
They will be forever free. And you can have as many as you need for addon domains and sub domains.
In actual fact, if you go with a premium quality host you gain a lot of SEO benefit, this isn't spoken about too much but it is true. I use a very non-sexy hosting service, but it is pretty darn good - WPgateway
Yes there is a correlation to how faster page loads and how you rank on Google.
I have a free SSL with Cloudflare is that going to continue or do you think I should be looking for an alternative ?
Oh it's going to continue, they were actually giving free SSL certificates before Let's Encrypt was around.
Hi Adam, do you still offer your Bonus classes when I sign up for InMotion hosting ? How can I get them ?
Thank you :))
Yes, just visit my contact and click on the course access tab.
Adam what plan are you on in cloudways and which server (Digital ocean, gcloud) and which setting would you recommend on cloudways for some one heavy on plugins, and has couple of subdomains ?
You should watch my most recent video where I talk about that and how to use Cloudways.
@@WPCrafter btw do you use Cloudflare ?
adam, i thought you were on inmotion? not cloudways?
Wanted to get a Reseller package with InMotion but they do not offer free SSL certificates at the moment, they dont know when they will add this service. Very dissapointing
They are working on it. It's coming, but it is a massive undertaking. Last I heard it would be a few month, but I will ask my contact there for some more concrete info.
Do I need to buy an SSL certificate from my hosting company or could I buy from another company.
You can buy it anywhere, but some hosts require a static IP address, which is about $3 - 5 per month per website.
Hmmm, just going thru InMotionHosting now and they say you need a static IP for SSL which costs $48/year so it isn't free there.
I've used all three and they all have their good points (and not so good ones), but they're all so much better than the EIG/GD crowd.
I think your SSL comments in regard to Google are a little misleading. There isn't any data to support the fact that non-ssl websites (still) are being "penalised" in SERPs. If you said that Google looks favourably on a site having a correctly configured and installed SSL then I would agree with you.

Yes you can have your domain name anywhere and just pointed to your web hosting provider.
Adam, who do YOU host with. Did I miss that? :-) I love the idea of getting comodo SSL, but is the performance good on inMotion, for a VPS server? Do you know?
Believe he uses InMotion
I have over 20 websites on InMotion hosting and I also have a VPS that my site is on.
Thanks Adam, really appreciate it! I watch your channel daily :-)
I see what you mean by support. Every single time I have used the chat system they are there instantaneously. I love it!
Thanks for sticking with me Bill, it keeps me motivated.

A perfect example is Elementor which is free and better and every single way imaginable. It said because optimize press was ahead of the pack when it was released in 2014 but it hasn't changed at all really.
Yes, I agree...Elementor can do the same things and cheaper...more flexible
Heloo I have one problem. My Woocommerce site acts silly its something in Wp codes. i wantr reinstall WP . but before i want backup all the products i have. can you advice some ppugin?? downml doesnt work. Exporting products gives me only xml file where it arranges product imgs by codes but it doesnt save imgs. sooo iwant some how save Media files or if possible all products(imgs included)
I would suggest having an experienced WooCommerce developer take a look at your site to find out what's going wrong.
What about DreamBost ?
Do I need to purchase hosting for each website I buy? Or do I just purchase one hosting package and just point the DNS servers to my hosting account such as A2. Then do you ad Wordpress to each? Thanks
Each hosting account will have a limit on the number of websites, or be unlimited. So it would depend on the plan you choose. With A2 hosting they have the number of websites listed. And yes, you just point your DNS to the hosting companies DNS servers and they take care of the rest.
Thanks, I did get A2 through you had registered names through Namesilo and it has been 36 hours since I directed it to A2 and they are still not showing up on A2. Was thinking it was because I needed a host for each. Thanks!
DNS changes can take 24 - 48 hours, but it has more to do with your home router and computer. Also, did you add the domain names to your service on A2? It would be an add-on domain name.
I paid on the swift level hosting with unlimited websites. I also have a very fast router. DO I have to do more than just change nameservers to A2? I only have done that and nothing on the A2 website. My first website that I moved to A2 was done super fast but found a better name that I wanted to use and got that one at Namesilo and thought they would show up under A2 like the first one did. Like I said it's been over 36 hours when the first one showed up in less than an hour. Guess I just need to wait?
You have to add the domain name to your hosting account. Here are the instructions on their site www.a2hosting.com/kb/cpanel/cpanel-domain-features/addon-domains-and-parked-domains#Creating-an-addon-domain
Actually, I have installed new theme & as well imported the demo data...
but when i make changes in any pages or past then i got 500 error.... how to fix this please help...
I would suggest contacting your Webhost for support.
I have created couple of websites on Wordpress (with heavy plugins), however the hosting provider that I'm currently using is not good as the sites are running very slow due to the plugins installed. My question is- do u have an idea whether these hosting providers will be able to handle the load of the plugins on my Wordpress sites?
What plugins are you thinking are causing the slow down?
I'm using Restaurant Reservations, hotel bookings, order online, Woocommerce, etc. If these plugins are already installed, and if I install additional plugins, will there be any issue with the performance of the site due to the hosting provider?
Ahh, well I think the slowdown from those is minor. It is more dependent on how much traffic and you should have a good caching solution in place.
Ohk, thanks for the revert. What caching solution /plugin do you recommend in that case?
I prefer WPRocket.
I have built a website with elementor. I bought the domain name and hosting from GoDaddy but I don't have a SSL certificate. Now my domain name is still valid for 2 more years but my hosting is about to expire. Can I use the above hostings? How can I transfery website from GoDaddy to either of these hostings?
Yes most of these web hosting companies will do a migration for you. You can even leave your domain name at Go Daddy if that's where you prefer and just have the hosting with one of these companies.
@@WPCrafter do any of these sites do migration? do you have to pay for it or is it free?
@@anina_net They all do. Now Sitegroud has its own tool for it to make it super easy. But they all will do migrations for you.
I'm with inmotion but I have no idea how to use my ssl certificate. can u do a tutorial on that?
Yes I will definitely put out a tutorial video. It will hit all shared hosting accounts on the ninth of this month. So expect tutorial may be around the 15th.
great, ive been trying to set it up for a while but cant get my head round it. In motion say they cant help as it isn't part of their service.
The feature isn't supposed to be active until the ninth which is two days away.
Can you get any discounts with VPS hosting ??
Hey Ashley, p.m. me on Facebook.
Does the inmotion SSL cert cover all subdomains on the account??
A subdomain is treated as a completely independent domain name. So what I think you're asking is if the SSL certificate is a wildcard certificate that would cover all subdomains. I'm not sure however you can add as many SSL certificates that you need, so you can add one to each subdomain. My guess is that it is not a wildcard SSL certificate. Let's encrypt doesn't offer wildcard SSL certificates as well. But it's just a few extra mouse clicks to get one for each of the subdomains that you may be using it.
I already asked them after knowing about the free SSL certificate a few days ago, they told me that the certificate will be available officially and for all customers until August 9, 2017 and it's going to be free for the plan life span.
And i think it's going to cover the sub-domains too, since cloudflare supports it for free, all what you have to do is to add the domain name in the account and add the sub-domain in the DNS (in Cloudflare account).
Does hostinger give it too?
A2 swift vs turbo...
Is it worth the extra $$$ to get turbo. I spoke with customer support and they couldnt specify what was best for site getting 4k uniques month, running wordpress/woocommerce.
Any thoughts. Using slooooow arvixe shared and looking for much faster host. Speed is main concern...want the fastest host i can get for
Yea Siteground is metered hosting. However, I don't think you will hit their limits. I always prefer to pay for good hosting. You can go without turbo, see how it goes, then upgrade if needed.
Site Ground is awesome have 4 sites with them!
Happy to hear. They really have focused on building a quality platform.
Immotion customer support A1.
roscoedc88 pretty good 24/7 is kinda cool too
Yes it's so comforting that they are always there to help. And you can even pick up the phone and call them.
Siteground provide only 30 gb shared hosting.. Is it enough for lare website.. What happened when my data near 30 gb
I seriously doubt any website will hit those numbers. Even my website is only about 1 gig in size.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies thank you. I want to purchase siteground hosting. is it good decision ?
I want to make news,blog and deals website. is siteground best?
Siteground is one of the best hosts there is.
my goDaddy account is going to expire soon, should I switch?
100% because of some Google changes you HAVE TO HAVE and SSL certificate. If you don't all visitors using Google Chrome will get a big warning saying your website is not secure.
switch
What is best cheap unlimited web hosting unlimted bandwidth ????
That would be InMotion Hosting with the 56% off discount I lined up.
Purchaed hosting from In Motion this AM. Nice service. Thanks
That's awesome John! Did you send your receipt to me for the course access?
Yep sent it in this a.m. Still waiting for them to finish migrating me.
NIC
Can you only do WordPress from these sites?
You can install anything really.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies Thanks
Siteground is the way to go
Yep I seem to be hearing that a lot these days! They certainly are innovating.
nice like
I assume you dont get a free SSL if you dont register a domain with them?
Nope, all 3 give free SSL for any domain pointed to their service. No need to register the domain with them.
Site Ground is the best
Yep they are.
samantha farmer I too prefer Site Ground.
But siteground provide only 30 gb shared hosting .. Is it enough storage?
20 gb is plenty
What about a2 swift VS siteground goBig. Speed about the same??? I know SG throttles cpu during traffic spikes where as a2 has higher cpu limits
Wtf why I am still using Hostgator.
Well what happens is we get comfortable where we are at and sometimes it can be a pain to change. So I totally get that however there are better hosts out there.
I'll give this example JBL hands downs are better than Beats and cheaper too . Beats has the Advertisements over JBL, most kids don't even know about JBL.
I am definitely gonna change my host once my subscription gets expired in Hostgator
Because it is easy to ignore it when you are just accessing your site each day, you tend to not think about the hosting!
