I continue to introduce you to various hosting companies offering their services for hosting WordPress sites and other projects. Each of these companies has a basic set of similar offers, as well as certain individual nuances. Due to the latter, it is precisely possible to attract loyal users: some lure with a low price, others rely on gifts and promotions, others provide the most convenient conditions for users, etc. Today we’ll look at the distinctive features of Handyhost hosting and how you can quickly create a WordPress website with it. At the end of the article I’ll tell you how to get free hosting for six months, and as an example I’ll use the test period.
First, some general information about the company. Handyhost has been on the market for more than seven years and is in the top 10 of the popular Hosting Ninja rating (51 reviews and an average rating of 4.7). Here are all the main types of hosting services:
Virtual VPS and dedicated servers can be created on Windows or Linux. All of them have a high uptime, have backup and provide a guaranteed amount of resources (due to kvm virtualization). Fast SSD drives are used for hosting; placement can be chosen in Germany or Russia (depending on the audience of your project). The server control panel is available, and root access rights are also given.
But in this case, I’m more interested in regular universal hosting, which can also be used for WordPress. It is suitable for simple and medium-sized websites and has all the necessary requirements for this CMS. The optimal tariff is HOST-4. Although in terms of price, even HOST-5 looks quite profitable compared to many other companies.
For hosting, you can choose the PHP version you need. As in servers, fast SSD drives are used here. To work with the database you will have PhpMyAdmin. The HOST-4 tariff implies the creation of up to 6 websites, but you need to remember that the WordPress system is demanding, and adequately assess the load from these projects.
Universal hosting is also suitable for other systems - Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, modX; there are separate tariffs for Bitrix and UMI. Cloudlinux is installed on the servers.
Let's start working with Handyhost - installing WP
A nice feature of Handyhost hosting is the ability to quickly order. To do this, you can fill out a special form on the website. Or click on the “Customer Login” button in the top menu on the right. You will be taken to the login/registration page.
Choose registration, enter your data, confirm the request by email and after that you can log into your account. Here, in principle, the options are all standard:
- user settings;
- bills/payment;
- affiliate program;
- services/products;
- support;
- ability to add a new user (payer).
Go to the services section - the “Hosting” item, where you click on the “Order” icon.
Next, choose the tariff you need with the possibility of testing. When ordering in billing, you are given 10 days to receive 30 days of free hosting - fill out an application through a special form on the website (on the tariffs page). This time is enough to check everything. In addition, Handyhost provides a technical domain for work, which is extremely convenient.
In a couple of minutes you will receive access to the ISPmanager control panel of the hosting you just ordered by email. Here you will already find all the necessary tools for creating your website:
- Main parameters: file manager, database, FTP users.
- WWW: domains, SSL certificates, scripts, PHP version management.
- Mail.
- Backup (backups).
- Tools (PhpMyAdmin).
- Statistics about resources and system used.
- IP address management.
To automatically create a WordPress site in one click, go to the WWW section - the “Web scripts directory” item.
First of all, you will need to click on the “Install” button in the column with the WordPress system. In the next step, select the domain and directory to create the site. And then you will need to specify different project parameters: database and user, WP administrator data.
Bonuses and six months of free hosting
As I said at the very beginning, many hosting companies use various kinds of bonuses in their work. Handyhost is no exception. They offer:
- Free website transfer from another hosting.
- Discounts when ordering services for a period of 3 months or more.
- SSL certificate and domains as a gift when you pay for hosting for a year.

Beginners will be most pleased with the first point - you simply provide the necessary access to technical support, and all the work on transferring the site will be done for you.

Hello readers! We continue our reviews to help everyone who is looking for inexpensive and high-quality hosting for their WordPress site. This time we will test Russian hosting - Handyhost, which has been featured in various host tops for a long time and has very high user ratings. I created a guest account there (30 days, by the way, a more than generous period) and now I’ll tell you about all the noticed shortcomings and advantages of this hoster.
Handyhost - basic hosting features
The Russian company Handyhost has been providing hosting services for more than 7 years and is among the top 10 of the popular top hosting “Hosting Nija”. Among the services offered to clients are various options for regular, inexpensive, universal hosting, high-performance VPS and powerful dedicated servers. On the modern and clear website of the company, you can easily familiarize yourself with all the tariffs and important features of all the services provided.
I am sure that most readers will be primarily interested in the tariffs and capabilities of the most economical and universal hosting, where prices start from 68 rubles per month (if paid annually). If required, you can immediately purchase domains from 109 rubles.
The popular ISPmanager admin panel is responsible for user interaction with hosting in the form of two familiar panels for billing and working with the server. Everything is in Russian and understanding it is not difficult. Moreover, there are a lot of different guides and manuals on the Internet.
Specialized tariffs for WordPress
In terms of price, tariffs for WP are no different from regular ones. The hosting administration claims that all settings are fully consistent for fast and correct operation of WordPress. After adding a new domain to the site, you should immediately go to the PHP settings and set the maximum size of uploaded files to at least 100MB if you plan to upload large themes or serious plugins through the admin panel.
Below I provide screenshots of a quick installation of a test site using the built-in installer.
Everything is really, very fast, convenient and error-free. In a couple of minutes, we get a ready-to-use WordPress site, where all you have to do is update the system to the latest version and get to work.
In just a few minutes, I managed to install (import) the full demo version of the rather heavy Enfold premium theme version 3.6.1. To be fair, it must be said that not every hosting, by default, in a couple of clicks, manages to do such an import the first time. You can see the result here (the link works for two weeks).
As always, during tests like this I install the premium BackupBuddy plugin. In itself, this is a cool plugin designed for backups, but in addition, it includes a powerful Server Tools utility with which you can easily determine how well the server fits the modern requirements of developers of scripts and themes for WP. The picture turned out as follows:
As you can see, almost all conditions are met perfectly with the exception of the MySQL Version. The support (very prompt, by the way) told me that upgrading the version is not possible at the moment. However, this warning cannot be considered critical since everything works quite correctly on version 5.1.73. But in general (especially when it comes to memory), everything is very good.
Bonuses + six months of free hosting!
Now let's look at the bonuses and advantages that Handyhost hosting offers us.
- Free transfer of your websites.
- Domain and SSL certificate as a gift when ordering hosting for one year.
- Websites work on fast ssd drives.
- Extensive experience in the market of similar services - more than seven years.
- The servers run CloudLinux.
- Servers are located in Russia and Germany, fast FTP.
- Selecting the PHP version in the IspManager control panel.
Overall, Handyhost is a more than worthwhile option for your favorite WordPress site and more. Quite reasonable tariffs, prompt technical support. support, a convenient control panel and, of course, stable operation and high uptime of the servers themselves.

Today there will be not an ordinary post, but a guest post about the difficulty of choosing a hosting that is suitable for all parameters, where the author will briefly talk about this problem and the hosting provider he chose. Further from the words of the author of the post...
In this short note I want to talk about hosting and the problems that you may encounter if you choose the “wrong” provider. Each of us has our own projects that are hosted on some hosting. And due to the diversity of companies on the market, their prices, quality of services provided and attitude towards their clients, the following problems often arise:
- your site is intermittently down or slow
- support takes a long time to respond and does not want to solve problems that have arisen
- I feel like the prices are too high
In short, a waste of nerves, time, loss of clients, endless correspondence with the support service, negativity - these are the very consequences of choosing a low-quality hoster. Do you need it?
So why Handyhost?
The unpleasant and often completely unexpected “surprises” described above cause an irresistible desire to switch to another hosting, but changing a provider is always a risk because The site may stop working altogether after the transfer, or work incorrectly. Many hosting companies do not provide refunds and you will have to lose money, or wait until the end of the paid period...
Sound familiar? How to choose hosting and not make a mistake? I suggest you pay attention to an excellent provider - HandyHost.ru And take advantage of his promotion:
when switching from another hoster, the company will transfer your website and the validity period of the service from the previous provider for free and will give you an additional 1 month of hosting! ( promotional code at the end of the article).
You can move right now, get rid of problems with the site and not lose anything! In my opinion, a very good offer!
I personally tested the company’s services, and I must say that I received positive impressions of the quality of services, but first things first.
A little about the company
The software creates traffic in the form of 20 users who are simultaneously on the site and view 6 pages per second within an hour. As you can see, there are no errors, this means that the server processed all user requests, and the loading speed did not change, also approximately 0.3 seconds.
The results are very worthy, I am sure that your site will work like a clock.
Technical support
Now about the work of the support service. I wrote a request - they responded quite quickly and intelligibly, and judging by reviews(for example, here: http://hosting101.ru/handyhost.ru) everyone really praises the support of this provider, there are competent guys in the support and sometimes they even help resolve issues with setting up the site, although they should not do this. I think this will be especially useful for beginners.
Tariffs and prices
In my opinion, hosting tariffs are more affordable compared to well-promoted mammoth brands, with the same resources.
Domain prices also look very attractive, registration cost = renewal cost, everything is fair, unlike some other companies, where registration is cheap, but renewal costs 5 times more.
How to transfer your website to HandyHost for free
There is an offer from the company especially for blog readers: when switching from another hoster, Handyhost transfers your website and service expiration date from your previous provider for free and gives you an additional 1 month of hosting!
To take advantage of the offer:
- Order hosting
- Fill out the site transfer form
- Pay for hosting for a month
- Create a support request with the subject “rescheduling” and indicate the code word in the request text: “ ktonanovenkogo»
