Web Hosting Tips & Resources From NameHero
Updated: May 1, 2023 When you switch your DNS servers to Cloudflare, all your traffic to your main domain is proxied through Cloudflare. However, if you add subdomains, it doesn’t automatically route that traffic as well. If you’re on shared hosting, you probably have a number of websites on the same plan. All of these […]
NameHero allows you to choose where to host your website – the US or Europe, with the datacenters being in the Netherlands for the latter. This is great if your visitors primarily come from one area or the other. You can host your server close to them so that they get fast response times from […]
Right now, NameHero offers a free domain with all Turbo and Business cloud plans when purchased for 2 years or more. You’ll notice that the free domain doesn’t come with a “Starter” or “Plus” plan. Why is this? After all, there are plenty of low-cost hosts that give you a free domain on even starter […]
On the NameHero website, you see that all the web hosting plans have the words “Unlimited Storage” next to them. What’s more, this refers to SSD storage. So it’s not only unlimited but also fast. But is this a realistic promise? If the storage is unlimited, does it mean that you can host websites of […]
We’re approaching the end of the year, and websites need to start preparing for the different ways this can impact their appearance in the search results.

If you look at NameHero’s shared hosting packages, you see that none of them offer a dedicated IP address. Some web hosts do provide this even on shared hosting, so it’s understandable if wonder whether or not this has an impact on your search rankings. There’s been a lot of confusion around this point, and […]
Amazon would like nothing more than to claim yet another marketplace for itself. Among the many in which they’re already the biggest fish, they’ve come to dominate the hosting infrastructure space with AWS. But providing the infrastructure to allow for web hosting isn’t the same as providing actual web hosting. And here I fear, is […]
Hosting companies often segregate their plans by the recommended number of visitors that they think the package can handle. For example, here are the recommendations for NameHero’s web hosting packages (per month): Starter – 10,000 visits Plus – 25,000 visits Turbo – 50,000 visits Business – 100,000 visits Metrics like this are seriously flawed, but […]
