Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Looking for a host, from Tokyo

[masa__tokyo]

I am going to launch a musician's website which will be accessed from Japan, the UK, the USA, Spain, Brazil and some other countries. Japan, the UK and the USA will be the main targets.

-Stability which will not be weekend when the website is accessed from abroad is the top priority.
-Less than 15$ per month is nice, and the cheeper price would be better.
-WordPress will be used.
-I'm planning to launch several websites in the future.

I also would like to ask you which domain hosting service I should use to buy a unique domain name for the website.

This is my first time to use a paid hosting service.
I really would like to have your advice.

Try linode.com

I didn't know this one.
It seem to be a bit expensive, butI will consult it as well. Thanks!

15$ per month is good enough for most shared hosting plans, but you need to increase the budget if you need vps server.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately I don't have sufficient knowledge to manage a VPS server.
15$ is OK, but the cheeper one it is, the better.

Your traffic requirements are quite diversed, but overall most US-located servers can give you everything you need.

Since you're just starting this website up, I would suggest looking for a shared hosting here at WHT,

I can recommend HawkHost as I have heard a lot of good words about their service.

Your $15/month budget is good. Nowadays, you can easily find a reliable and powerful shared hosting below $10/month mark.

Thank very much for your kind reply.

I understand that is the forum where hosting companies suggest better offers than ones in their own website.
Is my understanding right? Sorry I'm new here in WHT.

HawkHost seems to be good. It seem to be a small company, but I couldn't find any negative comments about it.

You are welcome and warm welcome to the community

In this forum hosting providers are not allowed to self-advertise their service. For better understanding, you might want to check general rules from this link:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/rules.php

HawkHost is on my top list if I need shared hosting in the future, but of course you can also browse for others. There are a lot of offers going on right here, I am sure you can get a great home within your budget.

I would say go to a LA host for a better coverage of the Pacific region. Medialayer comes to mind. Hosting in Tokyo would mean slower access from UK and even the East cost of the US

Oh, sorry, I asked about this forum named "Shared Hosting Offers", which you kindly told me.
(I can't type the URL because I'm a new member...)
There, I can find some good offers, and I can directly ask the providers, right?

[masa__tokyo]

>cycomholdings

Thank you for your reply.
So, the hosting providers in Tokyo are not good for me. Alright.
Could I ask you "why LA"? Is it because of a locational reason?

I think so.
But it seems to me location isn't the main concern of the web master. All depends on the company itself.

Yes, you can approach the provider you are interested to do business with and ask them any queries you have in mind.

I believe that any reliable US web host will suit your needs in terms of speed connectivity.. I personally use gigapros.com services and quite happy. My website is accessible around the whole globe and speed connectivity is pretty fast.
You can contact them, tell them your needs and see if they can suit your needs.
