Many people decide to switch hosting providers for price reasons, even for small differences ranging from $5 to $30 annually. However, saving a little can end up being very costly for several reasons.
Opportunity Costs
Switching providers can involve hidden costs that are not easily measurable. Often, the total cost can be much higher than the initial savings, potentially jeopardizing the continuity of your business.
Time and Resources Required
Migration to a new hosting provider can require between 2 to 6 hours of work from a qualified engineer or technician. This is a significant cost, either in terms of direct payment or invested time (opportunity cost).
High Probability of Errors
Transferring to a new hosting provider carries significant risks, such as failures during domain transfer, version incompatibilities, email reception issues, and data loss. These risks can be minimized if the process is carried out by an expert.
Hidden and Opportunity Costs
Saving between $10 to $60 annually does not compensate for the potential loss of a single important email or a customer during a server outage. The costs for many businesses can be extremely high, with lost opportunities that could be irreplaceable.
Lack of cPanel
Most providers on the market do not include cPanel, a world-leading tool in hosting service management. cPanel facilitates hosting management, providing an intuitive interface and numerous functionalities that enhance service efficiency and security.
Server Security
Security is critical. If your portal is not updated at least once a week, it is susceptible to breaches. At Dongee, we offer a powerful antivirus system to minimize these risks, ensuring the security of your site.
Additionally, our plans include double backup, and our average response time is less than 2 minutes, ensuring exceptional protection and support for your business.
