Comparison of hostings: Sered | – Wingdings Translator Online

Second analysis of the WordPress hosting comparison, in which we analyze the provider Sered, with its Basic SSD plan.

Both in this analysis, and in the rest of the , we have analyzed seven basic sections:

contracted plan: Characteristics of it by choosing a basic plan that allows working with WordPress.
Recruitment process: We look at complexity, the information we receive, and payment options.
Information process after purchase: We have already paid and we analyze what information is received as well as if it makes life easier (or complicates it for us).
WordPress installation: We use the automated installer and see what they install for us and the pros and cons.
Tests and tests: Using different services we know the speed and security.
Technical support: We create different bugs and analyze the time and quality of the response.
Return: Some hostings have a satisfaction guarantee or similar, we value the ease or difficulty of their processing.

In each of these sections we have evaluated different variables, scoring from 1 to 3, according to the following criteria:

1 point: It can be better
2 points: Correct
3 points: Okay

This analysis does not have any affiliate links (in fact it does not even have links) and has been done without any notice to the provider. You have simply proceeded to buy a shared domain and hosting plan and analyze it.

contracted plan

In the case of the plan contracted in Sered, they offer a specific basic plan for WordPress that includes Premium templates from ElegantThemes and a fully valid SSD basic plan, which is the one we finally contracted for comparison and analysis.

Hiring Process

Somewhat complicated shopping experience. The purchase opens in a new tab and when making the payment, it indicates a CIF error but it does not indicate the correct format.

In addition, every time it gave an error, it implied putting the card data again. In the end it is solved by putting the script.

Hiring time 10 minutes 2 Steps in the purchase process With errors (already fixed) 3 Does it allow an external domain? YES 3 Does it include domain? In the annual plan 2 Price of .com 9.50 + VAT 3 Registered ICANN NO 1 Payment Options Paypal, Card, Transfer, Direct Debit 3 30-day return guarantee 3 Total 20/24

Installing WordPress on Sered

The purchase process does not install WordPress. We must enter CPanel to reach the installer, but once we have located it, we find (Instalatron) that has very varied options.

Process 2 clicks. 3 Version 5.0.3 (latest) 3 Personalization None 3 SSL By default, no. You have to activate it in the panel before installing WordPress 2 Speed when updating Acceptable 3 Maximum file upload size 80MB 3 Problems / Extras Many options that save us time 3 Total 17/21

Tests and tests

Once the demo content was installed, WordPress updated and the Twenty Nineteen theme activated, we analyzed its performance.

In the tests carried out using different tools, the site works quite smoothly even with recurring users. Without having a heart attack speed, the results have been quite acceptable.
