Why I Switched Hosts — and Why You Shoud Consider It Too
Its all about the money, actually the value…. but i will get to that.
Alright, here’s the straight talk.
I changed hosting companies because I was tired of slow sites, random crashes, and support that took longer to reply than a Bali sunset and a few other technical things, but your not techical, nor should you be, however you can notice the value…
I moved from NameHero to Hosting.com (formerly A2Hosting), and honestly — it’s one of the best business decisions I’ve made this year.
Let me break down why — and why it might matter (and save you money) too.
The Wake-Up Call
- Client site goes down mid-update.
- Support tickets start piling up.
- I spend hours fixing what shouldn’t break in the first place.
- Lightbulb moment: “It’s not me, it’s the host.”
⚡ The Switch That Changed Everything
I jumped over to Hosting.com, and the difference was instant:
- Pages loaded twice as fast.
- Caching and LiteSpeed tech built-in — no extra plugins needed.
- Support that actually responds (within minutes!).
- Migration team handled everything — SSL, DNS, email, all smooth.
- My stress level? Dropped to near zero.
Let’s Talk Money (Because It Matters)
Here’s the bit most people don’t realise — cheap hosting isn’t cheap when it costs you clients, time, and credibility.
With my new setup, I can now offer:
- Dedicated hosting for clients — meaning your own cPanel, your own resources, no “shared neighbours” slowing you down.
- Full control — you can log in, manage backups, add emails, tweak settings — all without depending on anyone.
- Ridiculous value: first-year hosting is 80% off the full price.
- That’s basically a full year for less than the cost of one month anywhere else.
- Yes, year two goes back to normal rates — but by then:
- You’re growing.
- Your business is stable.
- And if it makes sense, I’ll help you find an even better option.
Bottom line — good hosting pays for itself in performance, professionalism, and peace of mind.
What I’ve Learned (and Why You’ll Thank Yourself Later)
- Don’t wait for a crash to make the switch.
- Speed sells. Fast sites convert better, rank higher, and feel more trustworthy = $$
- Support = sanity. If they ghost you when you need help, you’re with the wrong host.
- Dedicated hosting is an asset, not an expense.
☕ Final Thoughts
Switching hosts felt like cleaning out a cluttered garage — suddenly everything runs smoother and makes sense again.
So, if your site’s been feeling sluggish or you’re ready to level up, now’s the perfect time.
Grab that 80% off deal, set up your own dedicated cPanel, (or have me do it for you) and start running your online world like a pro.
Your future self — and your clients — will thank you.
