Which hosting plan is right for your website? A guide to our packages

Hosting is one of those things businesses think about least — until it starts causing problems. Choosing the right plan isn't complicated once you understand what the specs actually mean in practice.

What to base your choice on

Website size and number of pages. A simple presentation site with a handful of pages does fine on a smaller plan. An online store with hundreds of products, or a site with an extensive photo gallery, needs more room for storage and its database.

Expected traffic. The more people visit the site at the same time, the more performance is needed to keep the site loading quickly during peak times, not just when traffic is low.

Type of website. WordPress and similar content management systems place different demands on a database than a static presentation site — so a WordPress site typically needs a tier higher than a similarly sized static website.

What the specs actually mean

Before looking at specific plans, it's worth explaining what you're actually buying:

• SSL certificate — enables an encrypted connection (the padlock and https:// in the browser). Without it, browsers now actively flag a site as "not secure," which puts visitors off at first glance.
• Daily backups — if anything goes wrong (a bad update, an attack, human error), the site can be restored to a state at most 24 hours old instead of losing weeks of work.
• MySQL database — required by WordPress and similar systems, which store all of a site's content in it.
• WordPress installation — hosting sets the system up for you, so there's no need to configure it manually.

Our plans at a glance

Plan	Storage	Best for
Small	1,000 MB	A simple brochure site or smaller presentation website
Medium	5,000 MB	A company website with multiple pages, WordPress
Large	10,000 MB	Higher-traffic websites, smaller online stores
Extra Large	30,000 MB	Online stores with a wider product range, photo galleries
TOP	60,000 MB	Large online stores or high-traffic portals

Every plan includes an SSL certificate, email addresses and daily backups — the baseline every website should have, regardless of size.

Signs your current hosting is no longer enough

• The site noticeably loads slower during normal traffic than it did a few months ago.
• During higher traffic (a promotion or sale), the site occasionally goes down or shows an error.
• The admin panel (e.g. WordPress) feels sluggish even outside peak times.

If even one of these applies, it usually doesn't mean something is broken — just that the website has outgrown its original plan.

A common mistake: paying for more than you need

There's no need to jump straight to the biggest plan "just in case." Hosting can be upgraded at any time as your site grows or traffic increases, without downtime — so there's no reason to pay from day one for performance you won't use for months.

Who actually looks after your hosting

Just as important as plan size is who actually manages the hosting. Our hosting includes ongoing technical support — if something breaks, we fix it, not you. With budget hosting that has no support included, solving problems (even critical ones) is often left entirely to the client.

Frequently asked questions

Can hosting be upgraded later? Yes, at any time and without losing data — it's a standard, quick change.

Do I need hosting if someone else builds my website? Yes — hosting and website development are two separate services. Your website can be built by anyone while hosting is arranged separately.

What happens if I run out of plan capacity? The site will usually keep working, but we recommend upgrading before it starts affecting speed or availability.

Summary

The right hosting plan is chosen based on website size, system type and expected traffic — not on whatever sounds "safest." Not sure which one to pick? Send us your website's details (or a link to your existing site) at info@mlynar.org and we'll tell you which plan makes the most sense.
