Shared Hosting – Caribbean or South African?<\/h2>\n

Cura\u00e7ao has two categories of shared hosting based on server location: Cura\u00e7ao-based and South Africa-based. Cura\u00e7ao-based plans are much more expensive due to the cost of bandwidth in the Caribbean, but they will serve you better if you’re catering mostly to visitors from the North and South American regions.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the South Africa-based hosting plans are much cheaper, and they fill an important niche: if you’re serving mostly African visitors, you’ll get much better performance and latency rates here compared to other providers, whose server locations tend to focus more on Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Disappointing Resource Caps<\/h3>\n

Both types of hosting, however, come with some significant resource caps that might make you think twice. The company gives you very limited storage space and bandwidth, especially if you opt for Cura\u00e7ao-based plans. This is fine if you’re not expecting heavy traffic or complex site activity, but otherwise, this is close to a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, you’ll get the latest version of cPanel and the utmost privacy, especially from potential snooping by American and EU authorities. Each plan also comes with free WordPress or Joomla installation, plus support for custom scripts written in PHP, CGI, Perl, SSI, and Javascript.<\/p>\n

However, it’s worth noting that other providers offer similar (or even more) amenities alongside unmetered bandwidth and\/or storage. You can request for discounted bandwidth contracts, but even then, you’ll pay higher prices for the same resources you can get from other companies.<\/p>\n

VPS Hosting – The Costs of Privacy?<\/h2>\n

For greater resource needs, you can opt for Cura\u00e7ao’s VPS hosting instead. Unlike other providers, the company gives you a completely configurable setup instead of pre-built plans. You start from scratch, tweaking specifications like RAM and storage space as you go. Each feature has a corresponding price, and Cura\u00e7ao adds that up to get your monthly rate.<\/p>\n
