Comparison and suggestions on selection of established overseas virtual host providers HostGator and SugarHosts

Snail mentioned in the previous article that the majority of webmaster users currently choose a host for website building. In fact, for foreign trade business users, there are still many users who choose virtual hosts. For example, we may know BlueHost, Justhost, HostGator, and other hosting providers that we still have many foreign trade website building users to choose from. In fact, we can see from some foreign trade blogs and operating websites that webmasters still recommend traditional and established virtual host providers.

Although most businesses and users currently tend to favor cloud servers, sometimes the advantages of virtual hosts, especially the operation and maintenance advantages and simple features, are still favored by many webmasters. For example, at noon today, this netizen left a message and mentioned that he wanted to build a foreign trade website. Do you have any suggestions for which virtual host provider to choose? He just wants a virtual host. He himself thinks that after seeing the SugarHosts candy host and HostGator crocodile host recommended by netizens, what features do he hope to have? Snail gives a little advice.

Since this issue was mentioned, Snail took this opportunity to write this article, which can solve the problem of this netizen and also record the article. Many articles have not been updated before.

First, business background and brand advantages

I don’t know if Snail has mentioned it before. EIG has acquired many hosting companies, including the familiar BH, JH, and the HostGator crocodile hosting company mentioned this time. Now we can see It is divided into two operation teams in mainland China and abroad, but there are differences in products. The products we see on the Chinese official website and the English official website should be different, but they should belong to a large team. For example, the official Chinese team of BLUEHOST that Snail knows is based in Shanghai and operates independently.

As for the SugarHosts candy host, I had contact with their person in charge of mainland China a long time ago. I don’t know why I lost contact recently, and I don’t know if it is because they are not responsible for the business in mainland China. For SugarHosts candy hosting, the leading party should be the Chinese team, otherwise they will not always take a fancy to our market, and provide computer rooms such as Los Angeles Express and Hong Kong.

From the perspective of brand and business background, EIG's HostGator must be supported by a large consortium. They have always acquired host companies and then operated them. They have deep pockets, but later they felt that the product direction was a bit messed up after the reform, and there was only one computer room. For SugarHosts, the business has been operating for many years since 2009, so it still has an advantage in brand recognition.

Second, virtual host product comparison

The choice of any merchant must be based on product comparison. We can see that HostGator merchants have recommended a virtual host since the early years. Now, like other products under their banner, there are virtual hosts, wordpress hosts, VPS, distribution Hosts, etc., are quite messy. This is not the only feature of the unlimited plans of the overseas hosting companies we knew in the early days.

And we can see that when our mainland Chinese users click on their overseas official website, they will be redirected to the CN Chinese website. HostGator has three computer room virtual hosts in Texas, California and Hong Kong.

Then let’s take a look at the configuration comparison of candy hosting providers.

We can see that the basic solution Candy Host can have two sites, while the Alligator Host can only have one site.

Third, product experience and performance comparison

In fact, Snail personally believes that a series of products like BLUEHOST and HostGator may have a certain loyal user base. However, judging from today’s user experience and the new pursuit of cloud products and UI, I personally feel that their brands are not special. Catering to current users. For example, even if you open the CN official website, the speed is indeed relatively slow. And their panel management background experience is not user-friendly enough.

Personally, I still prefer the simple CP panel backend of merchants such as Candy Host and Eagle Host, and they have relatively fast work orders and online customer service support. From the perspective of official website products and overall experience, I personally prefer the candy host manufacturer (candy host official website purchase).

In conclusion, of course, any hosting provider has its own advantages and disadvantages, and my simple evaluation is just my personal opinion. If we are accustomed to using which service provider, we can continue to use it, and sometimes we can try different products. By the way, if we choose to build a website for foreign trade, it is recommended to choose the US computer room. If it is Chinese business, it is recommended to choose the Hong Kong computer room.
