REDRIXTECH GUIDES / CHOOSING A PLAN
How to choose a hosting plan for a small business
The right starting point is your website’s workload and size. A package called “Business” is a suggestion, not a requirement for every business.
Write down four things before comparing prices.
- How many websites or domains? One company website is a different requirement from several separate projects.
- How much storage? Check existing usage and allow room for uploads and updates. Our storage guide walks through an example.
- What does the website do? A brochure site, a membership area and a shop with checkout can have very different demands.
- What do you know about traffic? Use current traffic and transfer figures when available. A visitor count alone does not describe how much data a website transfers or how much processing it needs.
Compare what actually changes.
| Plan | NVMe space | Traffic | Domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 3 GB | 100 GB | 1 |
| Business | 10 GB | 500 GB | 5 |
| Power | 25 GB | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Every plan includes 2 vCPU, 3 GB RAM, LiteSpeed, 30 days of backups and free SSL. Moving to Business or Power increases storage, traffic allowance and domain capacity. It does not increase the listed CPU or RAM allocation.
Three examples of a sensible starting point.
A local service business with one modest website: Starter may be enough if the site fits comfortably into 3 GB and the traffic allowance suits its usage. You do not need a larger plan simply because your website represents a company.
A company with several small websites or a growing image library: Business offers 10 GB of space and up to five hosted domains. Check the combined usage of all sites, because they share the account resources.
A shop with many product images or several larger projects: Power offers 25 GB and removes the fixed traffic and domain-count allowances shown on the smaller plans. It still has finite storage, CPU and RAM. A busy shop may need a different resource setup even when its files fit within 25 GB.
Treat performance as a separate question.
LiteSpeed and NVMe are useful parts of the hosting setup, but they do not turn every application into a fast website. Themes, plugins, image sizes, database work and traffic patterns also matter. The WordPress optimisation handbook explains the factors involved.
If your site runs subscriptions, complex searches, imports, many plugins or a busy checkout, tell us about that workload. We should discuss suitability rather than assume that the largest package name settles the question.
Compare the full billing period.
Starter is €3.90/month or €46.80/year. Business is €7.90/month or €94.80/year. Power is €14.90/month or €178.80/year. The annual figures shown equal twelve monthly prices; there is no separate annual discount in this comparison.
Domain registration is separate from the number of domains a hosting plan supports. If you are budgeting for a new site, read domains and hosting explained as well.
Bring the requirements that a pricing table cannot answer.
Before choosing, discuss any specific application requirements, backup restoration needs, migration work, email requirements and expected busy periods. Those details are worth checking directly. A clear answer is more useful than a vague promise that a plan handles everything.
Put your own numbers next to the plans.
Have an existing website? Share its storage usage, the number of domains and what you expect to change. We can discuss which plan fits those requirements.
