Why You Would Love our New Shared Hosting Packages

It’s been an exciting journey so far… For the last four years, we, at FastComet have constantly used customer feedback to iterate on and improve our solutions. But today’s blog post isn’t about nostalgia. Today’s post is to cover exciting improvements that we’re making to what we think is the fastest hosting service around even better.

Our customer-first philosophy has enabled us to continue delivering on our commitment to bringing you – our customers’ peace of mind, allowing you to spend less time optimizing your websites and focus on developing your businesses. Furthering our commitment to providing our customers with premium solutions that simplify their lives, we are excited to announce that we have recently refreshed our Shared Hosting Platform. We’re redefining our business model to move from “hosting provider” to “strategic partner” as you grow your website.

What Does This Mean to You, as a FastComet Customer?

But before we get into the details, we would like to reassure you that all existing shared plans and subscriptions before the actual plan update are automatically grandfathered to their current pricing and infrastructure. If you are already AHOYsting a site on the island of quality shared hosting, we will make sure to get the optimal production rate and an exclusive package of extras for your site – still backed, day and night, by our premium customer support.

What is New?

FastComet is happy to present the new range of web hosting packages and plans to suit everyone – from first-time website owners, right through to those running mission-critical applications and services that need their own high performance dedicated server for a fraction of the price. The new shared hosting plans come with more feature optimized parameters, SSD in RAID 10 for all plans, extremely high-end server hardware, redundant infrastructure, increased RAM, CPU, and speed while enhancing security and much more! Meet the new hosting plans here!

Shared Hosting Packages FastComet

Among the improvements, you’ll find:

  • No more “unlimited SSD storage” – customers get dedicated resources and peace of mind. The memory and CPU are guaranteed and disk space is dedicated to you, so they’ll always be available for your use. The specified disk allotment will be listed on the shared hosting page for each web hosting plan offered.
  • No storage limitation per type of files you can upload – There are those web host companies that will limit the size or type of files you can upload. For instance, a company might only allow you to upload GIF/JPG files, rather than .PDF files. To further elaborate on that, while others limit you store up to 5 GB of media files, even though you have 30GB of storage space allowed, for example, we pride ourselves on being able to not limit you and give you the liberty to upload your various website-related data as long as it fits your dedicated disk space quota limit.

High-Speed Hosting Rich With Features

Тhe base plan, StartSmart, (previously known as Single Website Package) starts $2.95 per month and provides the headache-proof, yet highly reliable and secure, shared hosting that absolute beginners want – adorned with out-of-the-box add-ons like the Premium Website Builder, free domain name for life, CDN (Content Delivery Network), productivity tools, a plethora of new security features, and 7 days of backups.

The next plan, ScaleRight, (former eCommerce Package) builds on the StartSmart features but caters to smaller creative agencies and already established businesses by offering them additional resources. All the necessary tools required for eCommerce are included (1-year Free GlobalSign Private SSL, Grasshopper Credits, etc.) which makes it ideal hosting for an online store.

In a bid to enhance our offering even further, we are now all set to introduce our newest product offering SpeedUp RocketBooster. SpeedUp combines the power of ScaleRight with white-glove setup, security and performance optimization. It is the perfect solution for those of you that don’t need the expense of a dedicated server, a managed VPS or a managed Cloud Server but more processing power than a normal shared hosting package for a fraction of the cost. So there, our SpeedUp is all set to take the web hosting market by storm as your website is instantly migrated to our exclusive pro servers, which not only feature supercharged hardware but also support fewer users. This empowers your account to automatically access and utilizes 3 times more CPU, IO, and memory, accelerating website speed to the fastest it can possibly go.

The StartSmart, ScaleRight and SpeedUp plans are now called FastCloud, FastCloud Plus and FastCloud Extra, and have kept the same resources as their predecessors. You can read more on the overall change in our FastCloud plans Introduction post.

The best part is that there isn’t anything you need to set up. SpamExperts works at the domain level to protect all email accounts created with that domain.
  • SSL: The New Standard – Encrypted connections have become essential for search rankings and are already required for key features in WordPress. We’ve addressed this new standard by adding SSLs across two of our shared plans. SpeedUp provides one year free GlobalSign SSL, and SpeedUp comes with free forever GlobalSign SSL.
  • Free SSL/TLS certificates with Let’s Encrypt – We believe your private data should remain private! All FastComet web hosting accounts have the ability to utilize FREE Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates with just a few clicks in your cPanel. Our state of the art interface handles having your SSL certificate issued as well as renewing it at the required intervals.
  • Patchman – Kill Malware and Fix Vulnerable Websites – Patchman continuously scans applications installed in customer accounts, such as WordPress, Drupal & Joomla, to ensure that they are secure from known vulnerabilities.

Patchman will also automatically fix any vulnerabilities using a unique methodology that ensures that your site continues to function properly. If any malware is found in an account, Patchman will automatically quarantine it to ensure your site and visitors are protected.
