Hosting recommendation: VPS for serious sites, Namecheap shared for smaller projects
If a visitor needs hosting directly from me, I can recommend a VPS-based hosting option in Germany for 200 per year. It is positioned as a fast and reliable setup with a dedicated IP and a more capable environment than normal shared hosting for websites that need stronger performance and isolation.
The VPS setup includes 4 vCPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 75 GB NVMe storage, a 200 Mbits port, Ubuntu OS, and Webmin panel access. It also includes unlimited mails, unlimited websites, unlimited inodes, free migration, SSH access, unlimited databases, and unlimited FTP accounts.
For smaller websites, I also recommend Namecheap shared hosting as a personal recommendation based on long-term use. It is a solid option when the site does not need full VPS resources yet and the main goal is affordable, dependable hosting for a smaller project.
VPS vs shared hosting
A VPS gives dedicated resources, stronger isolation, more predictable performance, and greater flexibility for growing websites or projects with heavier technical requirements.
Shared hosting is often enough for smaller websites, simpler business pages, or lower-traffic projects that need a more budget-friendly starting point.
When performance, control, scalability, or resource stability matter more, a VPS is usually the better long-term choice than shared hosting.
