NameHero features in details:
- Shared Hosting- NameHero offers affordable shared hosting. They differentiate themselves from the majority of other hosting providers by clearly stating how many visits each of their plans can handle. They aren't trying to sell "unlimited everything" which is nothing more than a marketing ploy which results in web hosts throttling your website once you reach a certain number of visitors.
Their shared hosting plans come with a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt and free SSD or Solid-State Drives that are protected by Raid 10. What makes SSDs better than the standard HDD is the fact that they don't have any moving parts and use flash memory to store data. This means your website will load faster and there is less chance of a hard drive failure. The RAID 10 used to protect the SSDs uses a combination of disk mirroring and disk striping to protect your data which means your website will be more secure than on a regular shared hosting server.
In addition to that, NameHero offers a free domain name, nightly backups, free website transfer, and one-click WordPress installation as well as 99.9% uptime guarantee. Another benefit of using NameHero is that all the shared plans come with complimentary malware scanning and proactive brute-force attack protection so you can keep your website safe from hackers. The plans differ in the number of websites you can host, the amount of allocated RAM, and the number of CPU cores that are available.
