WNPower is the perfect alternative to Vultr and we will tell you in this note why. Of course this is not a post against Vultr, nor do we have anything negative to comment about it, but on the contrary: we use some of its services to enhance our platform and we are very happy with them. Having clarified this, WNPower has big differences with Vultr, and these do not lie specifically in the infrastructure, since a Cloud or VPS server could be hired anywhere and from the highest bidder. The differences focus rather on all the added value we have to offer you.
What Vultr VPS offers
Vultr markets VPSs that are virtual private servers, also called cloud servers, and some people assume that running their own server can help them save money, only to realize later that they severely underestimated some aspects to take into account such as initial setup and maintenance. . It’s not that setting up your own VPS doesn’t have its advantages, it’s just that you will need specific knowledge in system administration, tools and dedicated time to keep it working as it should and not be exposed to security problems. Were you prepared for this and to make those commitments? Or do you rather think about focusing on your business and abstracting yourself from it?
Day after day, week after week, we serve users who are frustrated by having to get into bad blood for solving problems that should not correspond to them or their web developers, simply because they do not know other alternatives. At WNPower we constantly listen to the demand of users and website owners to develop better and easier to use services every time.
What is the main difference with the WNPower alternative
WNPower is the first hosting company in the region to rely on hybrid technology. This takes into account our own servers, and external services such as Amazon AWS and Vultr, and its main reason for being is to have a service base made up of the best of each world, but in an “all-inclusive” conglomerate, where we do not want to maintain online a website is a problem or responsibility for our users. For this approach, over more than 15 years, we have received awards for ease of use for websites of all types.
In short, the difference in general terms is that by choosing WNPower we will do everything for you without you having to lift a single finger to manage a server, while using a VPS from Vultr, you will have to take care of everything or hire a server administrator ( and believe us, this is not cheap at all).
Here we value your time and your money, and that is why we are also constantly researching and developing new tools added to our hosting packages that make their management simpler, both for you and if you have decided to develop your website by hiring an agency or a external developer. Services at WNPower include: server + management + control panel + amazing tools.
In Vultr, you will only have a text console to connect to run commands and a couple of buttons to turn off, turn on and reset your server. Everything else will depend on your knowledge.
Business focus
Vultr focuses on experienced users who already know what hardware and software they need to host their website, who have advanced knowledge, and who will not require initial or future help, since if they do, it will be null due to the type of product per HE. If you are about to choose Vultr, it is best that you have no questions before, during, or after your purchase.
On the contrary, at WNPower, the experience is based on the user and ease of use. It is an “all-inclusive” platform that is carefully designed to not produce learning costs, maintenance, control, or worry about servers. Any business owner can have a website with WNPower.
Help desk and technical support 24/7
At WNPower we are always here to assist you, and we love helping our users. So much so that we prepare hundreds of articles that take into account everything from the initial approach to carrying out very specific tasks in order to keep your website optimized. We also have a 24/7 help desk, and even a community of users where our staff is constantly hanging out to share problems and solutions.
In Vultr you will only have support through a forum and some user guides, where the only help you will receive if you are in the middle of a situation are other volunteers willing to help at that moment, if they are available. Emergencies do not exist in Vultr, since you must be the one to solve them, either by repairing a problem on your server, or by reinstalling it and starting over.
Courtesy email accounts
At WNPower we think of everything and offer you complimentary email accounts, all with @ your own domain. This probably won’t matter much to you if you have already chosen other options such as Google mail, or Zoho email, but if you are just starting out and are looking for a free solution, already integrated into your service from the start, it is a plus and You will already be saving between $1 and $10 USD per mailbox.
cPanel Control Panel
The control panel may not add or subtract to you when considering choosing one provider or another, but when you have to start using your service, or your developer has to upload the site he created, both will appreciate it. At WNPower we adopt cPanel as an environment to manage your services and we prepare a friendly and very easy-to-use interface. Both for you and for your site administrator. cPanel has no learning curve, since it is the most used control panel in the world of hosting, so there is practically no time to invest to find out “how to do” this or that thing.
If everything is easier for your developer to solve, then it will take less time, and if it takes less time, it is possible that maintenance will end up costing you less than if you have to do everything manually and code through a text console.
WNPower has exclusive tools for your website and it is easier
The tools added to our services are most acclaimed by our hosting users. These allow you to carry out website implementation, upload and maintenance tasks in a few clicks instead of having to spend several hours programming or using generic tools. Since our beginnings, it has been one of our pillars to offer a fast, easy-to-use and easy-to-understand hosting service.
Our slogan is “Hosting, made simpler”, and we believe we are doing our job well! You will have a tool to make staging copies, another to run optimizers, problem solvers, apps to do web maintenance in 1 click, antivirus, security pack, content accelerator, and much more.
At WNPower we make your money go further
With WNPower you can do more with less. since we optimize the resources of all our plans. Your site will consume fewer resources on our platform, which will mean that you can then consider going to a cheaper hosting package if you wish. We are constantly applying special adjustments and learning from the use of our platform to continue accelerating fully.
Our business is not to sell you more and more, but to make your website work better and better.
Unlimited traffic and CDN
Typically Vultr hosting packages will have limited monthly traffic. This is really not little, but it is better not to have a limit. You will never know when your site may have a peak in access, or if some of the less optimized resources in your website design may use all the monthly credit you have available. If you decide to host your website on WNPower, this is not a problem for you.
You also have a CDN for local content distribution. No matter where your visitors are opening your website from, it will always work fast. On the other hand, if you are the one managing your server on Vultr, you will have to choose a CDN provider, install and configure it.
Optimized for WordPress, WooCommerce, Moodle and other CMS
We are WordPress fans and love hosting sites made on content management systems. In addition to all the tools that we add to our hosting packages, we add many others to make the management of sites of this type easier. WordPress, WooCommerce, Moodle, Prestashop and many others run at rocket speed thanks to exclusive adjustments to our platform.
On Vultr, the closest thing you will find is a server template called WordPress, which gives you a VPS server with WordPress pre-installed, ready to use. But the maintenance and adjustments of the server are still your responsibility. Even if you are a WordPress site developer, you don’t want to become a server administrator.
Free SSL Certificate
You will know that you can generate a free certificate even if you have and manage your own server, but always at the expense of the time it takes to code a script that creates it, installs it and renews it. In WNPower you only have to click, and the certificate will be installed as soon as you activate your web hosting package.
Additionally, our certificates are signed by the most trusted certification entities in the world, and we do not rely on self-signed certificates like Lets Encript. Even if you were thinking of buying a payment certificate to replace a self-signed one, you should know that we will give you one with a brand seal.
Backups
With WNPower you are protected. We make a backup copy every day so that if you delete something, or your website breaks for some reason, you can restore a backup copy in a few clicks and whenever you consider it necessary. Without asking permission or help. Backups are free and do not incur additional charges on your bill.
At Vultr, backup copies are paid separately, and you must contract the additional service when purchasing your VPS server. Depending on the method chosen, you may even have to schedule your own backup routine. That is, you must take care of everything.
We move your website for free
It’s not a promise, it’s a reality. If you already have a website running on another provider, the move to WNPower no longer depends on you having to ask our help desk to do it manually, or do it yourself. From the moment we activate your plan, you can start it in just a few clicks using our PowerTransfer tool. PowerTransfer is our automatic transfer tool so you don’t have to depend on anyone. We believe in website portability!
Of course, if you need to talk to us before or during the move, we are there to help you. All the time. Remember it.
We will let you know if something is wrong
This is another plus of working with WNPower hosting. If something is wrong with your website, we notice something strange, or we think you can optimize something, we’ll tell you. We want your website to be as optimized and secure as possible.
This could be from the fact that you are running out of some resource from your plan, or an improvement to be applied. No matter what, we’ll just keep you in the loop.
Content and resources to boost your business
We want to help you grow your business. That is why we are constantly generating content, articles, talks and update events to launch or enhance your business. More than 5 years ago we founded WNPower Academy: our learning division where we share our knowledge about marketing, servers, websites, leadership, SEO and everything you can think of, supported by academic experts of all nationalities.
