In the race to find the best hosting for your web project in Uruguay, you will find several options, prices and opinions, and it is important to be clear about what are the points of comparison to take into account. It is very likely that after finding so much information scattered on the Internet you still have doubts about which provider to rely on to store your website.
That is why we put together this post so that you can find out which is the best option for you. Not just any hosting is for everyone, and that is what we are here to clarify today.
What you should keep in mind when looking for the best hosting provider in Uruguay 🇺🇾
There are several things that you need to keep in radar to select the best Uruguay web hosting, but it should all boil down to having your web hosting solved for you instead of it becoming a problem.
That’s why it’s important that you find a Uruguay web hosting provider that offers everything (or almost everything) listed below. Our recommendation is that, while it is not good to get carried away by low prices, selecting the most expensive one will not solve all issues.
This list is organized in order of priority and we divide them into technical and administrative.
Technical features that you should take into account to find the best hosting in Uruguay.
- That it responds to all your queries in a reasonable amount of time both prior to purchase and afterwards.
- Easy to use: you should know that not all hosting is for everyone, and there are many users who give their head against the wall when they do not find the provider and the right package.
- Stable servers and with global accessibility: some Internet connections for servers tend to work very slow from other locations than Uruguay.
- It is not a requirement that the servers are hosted in Uruguay nor that they are physical servers. In Uruguay we have a lot of talent from our people, but data centers tend to give some headaches, so we recommend you to choose a provider that hosts in the cloud.
- SSD or NVMe storage. Solid state disks are not only a trend in storage but multiply the speed of data access on the server. While all vendors promise this, it is not always delivered and many fall into the temptation to use the old mechanical HDD disks to store more and monetize better.
- Have at least one recent backup in case something happens to your website. Either an accidental deletion or a problem on the server that will host your page, and this is stored in another data center or external service such as Amazon S3.
- That it contains cPanel control panel in Spanish: cPanel is the hosting standard, and if the provider uses it as a control panel, it means that it follows all the rules to provide a safe and reliable hosting service. Why choose a hosting with cPanel?
- To provide you with tools to solve day-to-day problems without complicating or requiring in-depth knowledge of web pages.
- That has clear and easy to find hosting documentation for when you need to perform any maintenance action on your site.
- That it is optimized for WordPress. 40% of the Internet is made with WordPress, so if the servers run WordPress at high speed, they will also run similar content managers and applications.
- SSL certificate included: we must clarify this because it is a standard for secure web browsing, and believe it or not, some hosting providers still do not include them in their hosting plans.
- If in addition to all of the above you have a tool to move hosting, upload or create a new website… Bingo!
Administrative aspects when looking for the best hosting in Uruguay
- That the treatment is friendly, in Spanish and with the same dialect.
- That they give you a pat with a discount to start with. never hurts!
- That they share your culture and have a strong work ethic, commitment and willingness to work, which is what makes Uruguay stand out.
Which is the best web hosting in Uruguay?
In the list you will find the providers that meet two or more technical and administrative requirements that we were mentioning.
WNPower (awarded best hosting of the year)
When it comes to quality, WNPower ranks first in quality hosting, based on the 5-star feedback and satisfaction of thousands of users. WNPower is a pioneer in hosting its web hosting platform in the global Amazon AWS cloud, reducing to zero the most frequent problems of the rest of the web hosting providers that host on physical servers in Uruguay or abroad.
Users’ information is safeguarded in Amazon S3 (the most secure storage in the world), uses cPanel control panel, original SSL certificates for all domains free of charge, has hosting plans specially designed for WordPress, and hundreds of exclusive tools created from feedback and suggestions from users and webmaster communities.
At the same time, with awards for comfort as a place to work, it maintains a 100% remote work structure with domicile in Uruguay, an exemplary tax conduct, and a staff willing to do anything to satisfy its customers.
NetUy
NetUy is one of the pioneers of hosting in Uruguay, and although it does not include a cPanel control panel, it can be a considerable alternative to host your web page. In addition to hosting offers other services in Uruguay as VPS and some cloud services hosted on their own physical servers, which can be complementary to hosting.
Hosting Montevideo
The first pro of Hosting Montevideo is that it uses cPanel control panel, which offers a learning curve of use to hosting users much lower than those who do not have it; and also makes it more “portable”. In addition to this, it uses NVMe disks for its servers, which speeds up the delivery of your content.
Something curious is that you can select the data center between USA and Uruguay according to availability. Other than that, it doesn’t have much that stands out, but it seems to fulfill what is necessary to upload a page to the Internet.
Uruguay .UY Hosting
Another one of the other good hosting alternatives in Uruguay is Hosting Uruguay .UY. This provider also offers cPanel control panel, and although, the space of the packages may seem small, will go very well to host a website in its first stage or if it is a modest project.
One of the outstanding features is that it includes a web builder if you are not, for example, very friendly with WordPress, with which, although the completion will not be the same, you can build a website without knowledge or too much effort.
Webempresa (outside Uruguay)
Another hosting company available for Uruguay is Webempresa. Webempresa has Spanish roots, but with servers in the United States, so we could say that it is a global solution.
Their website may not be the prettiest, and while they host their clients’ sites on physical servers, they offer a very friendly service and meet all the requirements for an effective online presence. You can put it down as one of your candidates to host your website without any problem.
