Updated: December 13, 2023 At NameHero, we get a lot of questions about whether or not we have datacenters around the world. Most users ask this because they would like to have a datacenter geographically located nearby to maximize speed. However, a few recent advances in technology have made me question how important location is […]

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.

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 […]

NameHero uses cloud technology for its web hosting, which is a big difference compared to how hosting providers usually implement such services. Instead of a single dedicated server running a fixed number of accounts, cloud hosting pools together the resources of multiple machines, and runs the applications in virtual containers that are easy to move […]

Web hosting can be quite a daunting concept for a beginner. It’s a lot to wrap your head around – domain registration, hosting, website builders, WordPress, and more. It’s no wonder that people are intimidated and go for potentially sub-optimal solutions like Wix or other services that lock you into a provider with high fees! […]
