Recently with a few of my sites becoming quite popular, I started considering the possibility of migrating some of them over to Singapore hosting services so as to reducing their loading time. I did a quick search on google and took a look at all the hosting services available on the first page.Out of all these I short listed the following.
- webhosting.com.sg
- vodien.com
- usonyx.net
- hostsg.com
In terms of price competitiveness webhosting.com.sg is the most expensive of the lot. Offering just a mere 500mb while charging more than the rest. I cancelled that out.
I next went into command prompt and did a tracert on all 4 hosting providers. Webhosting.com.sg and hostsg.com both required 15 hops from where I am before I arrived at their servers
That left vodien.com and usonyx.net. Both of them just required 13 hops from where I am.
Now I started to price comparison.
One particular pacckage by Vodien.com is going for SGD$8 has the following configuration
- 5 gb space
- 999 mysql database
- php 5 support
- unlimited domain add ons
- cpanel
Another corresponding package by usonyx.net is going for SGD$8 has the following configuration
- 5gb space
- 2 mysql database
- php 5 support
- 1 domain add ons
- plesk
Also it seems the portfolio of Vodien.com is quite strong with all the major education institutions on board.It seems Vodien.com is the clear choice to go for.
