This article could be angry, since I was prompted to write it by a problem with hosting on one of the sites I administer. But, as it usually happens, I sat down to write the article not immediately after moving to a new hosting. And by the time of writing, the anger had subsided, I wanted to write not about those who fail, but about those who help.
So, the most unpleasant thing that could happen to the site happened. The hosting company's server crashed and could not withstand the load. And the worst thing: when rebooting, it turned out that the hard drive, on which the files of our site were located, fell apart. It seemed that it might be easier than restoring files from an existing backup. But, thanks to the best administrators who work at the hoster, the backups were on the same disk as the working directory.
I was pleased that I periodically uploaded backup copies to my desktop computer. Such a backup backup. This is what made it possible to restore the website, albeit with information from a week ago.
Well, now, as I promised, about those who help. After such arrogance and irresponsibility, I did not want to restore the site on the same hosting platform. A quick but thoughtful search led to the website of the hosting company https://cityhost.ua. A quick analysis of the offered services showed that this is high-quality, unlimited hosting, with a small but thoughtful set of tariffs and additional services. For example, the Apartment + tariff, worth a little more than 100 hryvnias per month, includes 15 gigabytes of free space, as well as automatic installation of various scripts and CMS.
The hosting order went quickly and, what was pleasing, after the order, but before payment, a test period is provided.
By the way, in the same tariff plan Apartment +, enough space is allocated for storing files, and this is more than enough for hosting medium and large sites. As they say, a big site needs a big hosting. And if this is not enough, you can choose a tariff without limiting the allocated space used for storing files.
Naturally, after such a problem with the previous hoster, I became interested in storing backups. I was assured that the backup files are on https://cityhost.ua/news/uluchshennaya-panel-upravleniya-hosting-2-0.html are created every day, are available for a monthly period and are stored in separate file storages.
I hope this is the last move of our site.
It should also be noted that the hoster provides not only hosting services, but also VDS, VPS and dedicated physical server rentals.
