In this blog post, we will only talk about Shared Hostings. So Let’s start without wasting your affordable time.

Shared Hosting by FastComet

They call it Shared Cloud SSD Hosting Powered by cPanel.

FastComet offers very affordable and fast Shared hosting with cPanel. It has all the required features which every hosting should have. I have listed all the features of this shared hosting below.

FastComet comes with Softaculous 1-Click Autoinstaller. So you can easily install any of the popular CMS like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Opencart, magneto, and many 300+ other popular CMS. You can also set up a Python app, NodeJS app.

One best thing You can also Install Ghost CMS in any of the FastComet Shared Hosting plans. Ghost is becoming very popular these days. But none of the shared hosting providers supports Ghost CMS. But FastComet is different from all of the hosting providers.

Plans & Pricing

Let’s talk about all the plans and pricing of Shared Hosting.

FastComet offers 3 various plans in Shared Hosting. All plans are fairly priced. You can choose according to your websites and traffic. All plans come with cPanel, Daily Backups, Let’s Encrypt Free SSL, Free Cloudflare CDN, Softaculous 1-Click Autoinstaller, Unlimited Email accounts.

All of the plans will not give you a free domain. But if you have already purchased a domain, they will offer a free domain transfer for your domain to FastComet.

1. FastCloud

Pricing
• Initial Price: $3.95/mo
• Renewal Price: $9.95/mo

This is the entry plan of shared hosting. You can host one website with this plan. You will get 15 GB SSD Storage. You will get unlimited Email Accounts, Free SSL, 1 free Website migration, Unlimited Subdomains. This plan can handle 25,000 unique visitors per month.

This plan is for you if you want to run only one website with low traffic. This plan offers unlimited Subdomains, so you can make a separate website on your subdomain.

2. FastCloud Plus

Pricing
• Initial Price: $5.95/mo
• Renewal Price: $14.95/mo

This is the middle plan of FastComet Shared Hosting. This is the best plan for most of the peoples. You can host unlimited websites with the FastCloud Plus plan. FastCloud Plus plan comes with 25 GB SSD storage, unlimited email accounts, and unlimited subdomains.

You will get SSL certificates for all of your websites which you have hosted on Fastcomet shared hosting. This plan can handle 50,000 unique visitors per month. You will get 3 Free migrations with the FastCloud Plus plan.

This is the best value-for-money plan of Fastcomet shared hosting, according to me. Most of the peoples choose this plan because this is affordable and it has all the features that Fastcloud Extra has (Except Rocket booster).

3. FastCloud Extra

Pricing
• Initial Price: $7.95/mo
• Renewal Price: $19.95/mo

FastCloud Extra is the most costly plan of FastComet shared hosting. You can host unlimited websites with this plan. Unlimited email accounts and unlimited subdomains. This plan can handle 1, 00,000 unique visitors per month.

FastCloud Extra offers 35 GB SSD storage. Some people think that 35 GB will not be enough, but believe me. 35 GB is too much. I have one website with 1000+ posts and it is only a 2 GB website. So 35 GB is enough space for normal websites. But if you have downloading websites then this could trouble you.

So if you have a high traffic website and your website gets sudden traffic, this plan is the right choice for you. Because this plan has 6 GB Ram and 6 CPU Cores, which will be enough to handle your website’s load.

Features

Let’s talk about some of the best features of Fastcomet shared hosting. Fastcomet offers the best specifications in the market. It has all the required features, and it has also some unique features which any other hosting provider does not offer.

SSD Only Servers

Fastcomet Shared hosting use SSD only servers. This means all of your files and data will be stored on SSD Servers. Some old school hosting providers use HDD Servers, which is not in the case of Fastcomet shared hosting.

Why SSD Servers? – SSD Servers are way faster than HDD Servers. SSD and HDD are types of storage. SSD storage can receive and send files faster than HDD Storage, so obviously it will affect your website speed ultimately.

If you will look at the above image you will see that SSD Storage servers will be 3x faster than HDD Storage servers.

Daily Backups

Fastcomet Shared hosting provides daily backup to all of the plan users. If you have a FastCloud or FastCloud Plus plan then you will get daily 7 backups. If you have a FastCloud Extra plan then you will get daily 30 backups.

If you need your backup at any time, you have to ask the support team via live chat or support ticket. After that, they will provide the backups that you want.

Free 24/7 Priority Support

Fastcomet will provide you 24×7 support if you have any of the Fastcomet shared hosting plans. You can contact the live chat support at any time. Also, you can submit tickets via the Fastcomet dashboard panel.

Generally, I get the initial response from the support agent within 2 minutes. Which is quite good in shared hosting providers.

Free Lets Encrypt SSL

Nowadays, SSL Certificate (HTTPS) is a must-have requirement for any website. If you are running an eCommerce store, you can not receive payments from customers without SSL Certificate. Also, Google considers SSL as a ranking factor. You can read more about that here.

FastComet offers free Lets Encrypt SSL for all of the websites that you host on their hosting. You can just navigate to cPanel >> Let’s Encrypt™ SSL. There you will see a list of all the websites.

Free Website Migration

If you have already a website in another hosting and you do not want to start over then do not worry. They got your back.

With FastCloud Plan you will get 1 free website migration. With FastCloud Plus and FastCloud Extra, you will get 3 free website migrations.

To get free migration you have to go to the FastComet dashboard. Then click on submit a ticket. Now fill the form. Choose Website Transfer as department and your plan in related service. After filling the form click on Submit. after some time support team will reply to you and ask if you have missed anything, then they will do your migration very rapidly.

Rocket Booster

Rocket booster is additional exclusive feature of FastCloud Extra plan. You will not get rocket booster with any other fastcomet shared hosting plans.

Benifits of Rocket Booster:

• 3x More CPU & RAM
• 3x Fewer clients per server
• Varnish Cache & WAF
• 30 Daily backups

Varnish cache is the most important of all features. Varnish is used by Cloud hosting, Managed hostings, and VPS hostings, but Fastcomet provides shared hosting, which is very good.

Varnish is a server side caching solution. When visitors request any files server finds that file and sends it to visitors. In this process, the server has to find that file and It could cost some milliseconds.

If your servers support varnish then whenever visitors request any file, the varnish will save the data. Next time if any other visitor will request that file Varnish will send it. So it means if you are using varnish then hosting file finding time will be reduced effectively. So it will make your website faster.

Another good point is 3x fewer clients. Typically shared hosting providers add multiple users on one server. By that, all of the websites which are hosted on that server will become slow. But with the FastCloud Extra plan, Fastcomet will host 3x fewer clients than regular.

With Rocket booster Fastcomet will provide daily 30 backups. so you will choose your perfect backup without losing any data.

45 Days Money Back Guarantee

Fastcomet offers a 45 days money back guarantee to its users. It means if you have bought any plan and you are not satisfied for any reason, then Fastcomet will provide a 100% money back guarantee. Other hosting providers offer 30 days guarantee.

Pros & Cons

Let’s talk about Fastcomet shared hosting Pros & Cons.

Server locations

This is one of the great pros of Fastcomet shared hosting. Most of the shared hosting providers have only 1 or 2 server locations. But Fastcomet offers 11 different server locations, which is quite good for shared hosting providers.

If your website server is in the US then it will send files from there. if any visitor visits from Asia then your hosting has to send the file to that location, which will take more time to load your website. But server location is near to your visitor then your website will load much faster.

This is a very great feature if you are running a Local website that has most of the traffic from a single country or continent. This means if you have a website that is only for the England public then you should choose European servers. If you have a website from India then you should choose India or Singapore server.

Fastcomet available server locations

North America

1. Chicago (IL-US)
2. Dallas (TX-US)
3. Newark (NJ-US)
4. Toronto (CA)

Europe

1. Frankfurt (DE)
2. Amsterdam (NL)
3. London (UK)

Asia

1. Singapore (SG)
2. Tokyo (JP)
3. Mumbai (IN)

Australia

1. Sydney (AU)

Keep in mind that you should choose hosting servers which are near to your website visitors, not yours. You will be able to select your server location on the checkout page.

Fair Pricing

This is why Fastcomet is different from all shared hosting providers. All other hosting providers give discount prices only if you will buy for 3 years. If you buy it for 2 years or 1 year then the discount will be less than 3 years.

Bu this will not happen with Fastcomet. Fastcomet will give me the same discount no matter you are buying it for 1 month, 1 year, 2 years or 3 years. But I recommend a minimum of 1 year, because if you will buy for 1 month then the renewal price will be high.

Apache Servers

This is one of the worst parts of FastComet Shared hosting. Fastcomet servers are using apache. Let me explain to you.

At the current time there 3 popular web servers are used. Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed. Apache is a very old technique and it is very slow than Nginx and LiteSpeed. Nginx and LiteSpeed are the most powerful web server.

LiteSpeed will use 5x fewer resources than Apache servers, so for high traffic websites, I recommend LiteSpeed Servers.

Nginx is like Boss. It is costlier than any other server, but it is the best in performance. If you have E-Commerce websites then you should use Nginx servers hosting.

No Free Domain

Fastcomet does not offer a free domain with any shared hosting plans. Instead of that, they provide free domain migration. That means you have to buy the domain separately. But you will be able to transfer your domain from anywhere to Fastcomet for free.

Performence

???? Ohh, that was very long theoretical talks, now let dig into the performance of Fastcomet Shared hostings.

No matter how the web hosting provider is good in feature, design, pricing, support if it is not good in performence it will not be your choice.

I have made a new website with Fastcomet hosting. I have installed Kadence Theme and also Personal Brand starter template by Kadence starter templates. I did not want to test the blank website because everyone will add some content to the website ????.

TTFB Tests

TTFB stands for time to the first byte. To put it simply, this is a measurement of how long the browser has to wait before receiving its first byte of data from the server. I have tested with 5 different tools.

Speed Test

In this test, I have taken same wwebsite which I have used to masure TTFB. Then I tested it with 5 different speed measuring tools.
