The information is very complete. I followed these steps and those in this course https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnB5lkcRRhA and they recommend a different hosting Is it better one than another? What would be the best alternative?
Thanks for the help!
Hi Esther, there are some differences between different hostings, for example from what I understand HostGator doesn’t allow 3rd party SSL certificates, so you need to buy from them.
If you have a bit more budget then https://www.siteground.com/ is great option, they seem to be one of the fastest.
On other hand, if you are on budget then https://www.godaddy.com/ is an option.
Here is a nice article about choosing a hosting that is right for you: https://www.whoishostingthis.com/compare/

Hi Raley, if you are purely looking at prices I know what Hostinger are very affordable, and they have good deal too. I haven’t used them though. I’m in transition to move my stuff to hostpapa.
