Issue #542  (KnownHost Review, Frameworks, JSON/DB, Media)12/07/23

The following intro is a paid product review for KnownHost, an affordable and lightning-fast web hosting platform that features optimal performance and reliability.

I'm sure many of you run your own web development businesses and  manage various hosting services for client websites. At this time of year you might even be looking at options to move to a new hosting plan, or maybe you want to expand from your existing service.

If that's the case, you'll want to check out KnownHost who are offering a number of fully-managed shared hosting packages at excellent rates.

KnownHost

KnownHost has been in business since 2006, offering reliable and high-performance web hosting that can fill whatever your current needs are. Here's a quick synopsis of their web hosting plans:

Basic Web Hosting
The basic web hosting plan is for a single domain with 512 MB of RAM, a single CPU core, 5GB of cloud storage, 5 email accounts, and 2 MySQL databases. This plan can be purchased for as little as $3.47 USD per month. This would be an ideal plan for someone just getting started with a relatively simple website with moderate amounts of traffic.

Standard Web Hosting
The standard hosting option offers up to 5 domains, 1GB of RAM, a single CPU core, 20 GB of cloud storage, 25 email accounts, and 5 MySQL databases. This is an excellent option for someone running a few different websites, maybe a few side projects or side hustles, or even just a few domains to experiment with. This plan starts as low as $6.47 USD per month.

Professional Web Hosting
The professional hosting option is where you can really expand an existing business, hosting all sorts of client websites and personal projects. This plan offers unlimited domains, a 2 CPU core, 2 GB of RAM, unlimited cloud storage, and unlimited email accounts and MySQL databases. This plan can be purchased for as little as $9.97 USD per month – a great deal for a small or even large web shop!

Premium Web Hosting
KnownHost's premium hosting takes things to the next level with high-traffic websites and apps that require more memory and performance. In addition to the unlimited domains, cloud storage, email accounts, and MySQL databases, this plan also includes 4 GB of RAM, a 4 CPU core, and an Inode limit of 600,000. The Inode limit refers to the number of individual files that can exist within a single cPanel account (the other plans offer 100k, 200k, and 300k, respectively). This plan is available starting at $19.97 USD per month.

Common Features for All Plans
You can view a comparison table that shows you all the features for each of the four plans discussed above. All four plans feature the following:

  • Free SSL
  • 24/7 support
  • 30-day money back guarantee
  • Free migrations
  • Support for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
  • Cloudflare compatible

  • Automatic updates and security patches
  • 99.995% uptime
  • Free backups

That's just a small sample of the features available and, like I said, these are available in all four plans including the basic and standard plans.
