March 2023 Web Hosting Archive

No posts were published on our site in March 2023, but the month still mattered for anyone managing websites in India. If you were planning a migration, renewing plans, or tuning site speed, here’s a compact, practical roundup of what mattered and what you should do next.

Prices and plans often shift around this period. Providers tweak renewal rates and bundle new features. If your plan was up for renewal in March, you likely faced choices: accept a higher renewal, negotiate a better deal, or move to a host with clearer pricing. Always check renewal terms and compare final costs, not just introductory rates.

Performance kept moving forward. Hosts pushed more NVMe and faster CPU allocations for shared and cloud plans. That matters if your pages load slowly. Short, actionable fix: enable server-side caching, use a simple CDN, and compress images. Measure before and after with a real test from a location near your target audience.

Security and backups stayed top of mind. March is a good reminder to confirm automated backups and test restores. Turn on two-factor access for control panels. Run a quick plugin audit if you use a CMS, and keep PHP at a supported version. A tested restore beats a frantic scramble after a problem.

Managed WordPress options continued to be attractive for busy site owners. They handle updates, caching, and many security basics for you. If you run a content-heavy site or store customer data, managed hosting can save hours and reduce risk. Still, read the support terms so you know what the host will and won’t fix.

Migration tips that actually help: keep a full backup before any move, set a short DNS TTL a day before switch, and test email functionality after migration. Use a staging environment to preview site changes. If possible, perform the migration during low-traffic hours and keep rollback steps ready.

Quick checklist: actions to take

Review renewal notices and compare total yearly cost. Verify backups and run a restore test on a staging copy. Confirm PHP and database versions are supported. Enable HTTPS and confirm certificate auto-renewal. Turn on server-side caching and use lossless image compression. Audit plugins and remove inactive or unsupported ones.

What to watch next

Watch for better transparency in billing and clearer upgrade paths. Expect more entry-level plans to include basic performance features like NVMe or free CDN credits. If you plan changes, start preparations now: test, document, and ask your host precise questions about limits and support response times.
