When a private person or a company wishes to store a website they have, they have two options: hosting a website abroad or hosting a website in Israel. These options bring with them many doubts, since the website hosting procedure is an important function whose purpose is to present the website to surfers constantly and without problems. Therefore, the topic of website storage must be adapted to these main parameters: the location of the storage server, the type of server, allocated volume, data traffic area, server availability, prices, comprehensive tools as well as service and technical support. In this article, we will review the main and important options for storage companies located abroad versus storage companies that exist in Israel.
location of storage servers and their availability
Khol's server farms are scattered around the world according to countries, due to their distant geographical location there may be disruptions when trying to access the websites stored in them as well as problems with the availability of the host server. When there are problems with the availability of a site, it may affect the number of visits by surfers and the time spent there. And also in the field of promotion, when Google scans the site and encounters availability problems, it may lower its position in the search engine.
On the other hand, in Israel, the server farms are located at the various internet providers – 012 Smile, 013 Netvision, 014 Bezeq International. hosting sites on these servers allows up to 99.9% availability and positive and reliable results. On the other hand, when a surfer from abroad tries to get to these sites, the response times he will get back from them are low and it is doubtful that he will be able to enjoy smooth and continuous surfing on them.
Website browsing speed
The geographic location of the server directly affects the speed of browsing the site. This aspect is expressed in the fact that when surfing to an Israeli website stored on a server in Israel, its response times will be much faster than if the same website is stored on a server abroad. The same thing happens on the other side as well, when surfers from abroad surf to any site stored in a server farm with the same location, they will enjoy faster response times than if the same site was stored in an Israeli server farm.
the prices of the storage packages
There are big price differences between website hosting companies abroad and website hosting companies in Israel. For the most part, hosting companies that exist abroad like GoDaddy offer cheap and attractive package prices, and usually contain larger storage space and traffic volume. On the other hand, the prices of storage packages in Israel are expensive and may even reach double the amounts of those abroad. But the important benefit you get from paying a website hosting company in Israel is server availability and higher browsing speeds.
In conclusion, the decision whether to choose a website hosting company in Israel or abroad is an important decision and depends mainly on the personal requirements of the website owner. On the one hand, you can enjoy affordable and affordable prices with storage companies abroad, but on the other hand, you can get better server accessibility and availability with Israeli storage companies. Therefore, if you are currently in the middle of some kind of deliberation on the matter and have not yet reached a decision, we at DigitalST will be happy to be at your disposal and will make sure to match you with the storage package that best suits your requests.
