The video features custom community emojis by @azuzeldraws

We're ready for you to join The Creative Lounge Discord Community!

Community rules & guidelines are below the cut for anyone who'd like to preview them before joining.

Members must be at least 18 years old.

The Creative Lounge Community Invite

The Creative Lounge is a Discord community of creators and lovers of different genres, crafts, and talents that, together, foster a positive creative environment.

A good portion of this community is dedicated to content creators who work with different mediums. That's by design. We inspire one another and often collaborate. I hope The Lounge makes it easier to do both!

There's also room in here to play. I'm arranging the ability to stream art and video games in here, as well as host virtual tabletop games (these adventures are fantastic fodder for art, animation, stories, and audio works)!

Art and storytelling have been part of the human experience since our beginnings. They withstand disease, war, natural and unnatural catastrophes, and most impressively, time. Be proud of what you contribute.

Community Rules & Guidelines:

Rule #1: Be Aware. This is a shared space. You must be at least 18 years old to join this server. Individuals from all places and all walks of life congregate here. The sharing of personal information (name, location, etc.) is discouraged. Don't share personal images of anyone under the age of 18.

Rule #2: Be Respectful. Any disputes between members ought to be resolved privately. Disruptive behavior is not tolerated! No racism, sexism, hate speech, trolling, abuse, spam, picking fights, harassment, etc. Direct and indirect threats towards any other person are strictly prohibited and will incur an instant ban. Avoid discussing sensitive topics (examples: religion, politics). Try to keep the conversation relevant to the channel you are in. This is a multi-fandom, multi-shipping community. Hate directed at fandoms, characters, or ships is not allowed. While age gap ships are welcome, teacher/student ships are not (if characters are portrayed as teacher and student in canon material, do not share fanworks of those ships here). Don't steal content or ideas. Do not repost or share anything found here without the permission of that content's creator. When sharing content by others, they must be credited in your post. When sharing links to your content, ensure that it is thoroughly tagged in your post. Any NSFW content should be shared in the gated channels. No underage (less than 18 years old) or incestuous NSFW content (in ANY form, regardless of how brief it may be) is allowed in this server. Use tags and spoilers (if applicable) for “trigger warning” kind of content. Examples of warning tags: -Graphic depictions of violence -Character death -Rape/non-con/dub-con (A/B/O works are considered dub-con) Other things such as phobias, body horror, blood, etc, should also be tagged. If you would tag it on AO3 or a social media post, tag it here. If unsure, ask a mod for help!

Rule #3: Be Creative. This space was made so that content creators may meet and interact with each other and with fans of transformative works. It is encouraged (but not mandatory) to participate in Lounge events and challenges. Use this space to discuss your content and ideas, share tips, ask questions, etc.

Rule #4: Be Kind. This is meant to be a community. Remember to encourage and support one another. Visible support such as reblogging/retweeting, commenting, giving kudos, etc., ought to be considered part of being a Lounger. Do not simply use this server (or myself) as your marketing platform. Self-promotion is not only encouraged, but expected. However, when you promote your work, stick around to throw some support and encouragement at others.

CITIES

A full list of what a modern / sci-fi city needs. You can incorporate many elements into your fantasy city as well. Of course you don't need this many things, but sometimes it can help your story if you understand and think about how your world works.

Electricity and energy resources

If your city has electricity, or anything similar to it, it's worth considering where this energy comes from. Is it renewable energy, or not? Is it something else entirely? (Is it magic?) These buildings and facilities are usually located on the outskirt of cities.

Windmill Location: Flat planes, maybe even deserts. Tailor it: break up the structure of a today's windmill: e.g. what if they are way bigger, or people live in it, etc

Nuclear Power Plant Location: Anywhere, in space, under the water, in the sky, inside the terrain. Prompts: What about accidents? Secret labs inside the plant?

Storm Power Plant Location: Almost anywhere, in the sky, in space, on space ships, planes, etc. Further ideas: tornados, harvesting lightning, harvesting the power of the wind with fortified windmills, sun storms in space.

Water related power plants Using the energy of a flowing river,sea waves, or even a vortex.

Burning power plant Burning trash, coal, diesel, gases or your world's fuel. This can be very polluting in your world, which can add up to your worldbuilding: green activist wants this plant closed, people getting sick aournd the plant, etc.

Geaothermal Power Plant Using the planet's heat to generate energy. You can put this anwhere on your ground or under.

Solar Power Plants These need a lot of place. If you are also making a map, be sure to add these on places where they actually get sunlight. (Don't put them on the north side of a mountain.) prompts: what if somebody covers them on purpose?

Health, Life and Death

All health and mental health related facilities (even for pets). Tailor these to your worlds problems, diseases and conditions (e.g. cyberpsychosis in Cyberpunk 2077) You can put these fqacilities, together, or even in a very different location, for example a floating private clinic above the city. You can even use virtual worlds as a twist.

Hospitals and clinics General hospitals, clinics and private ones.

Doctor's office

Ambulance station

Cyberware repair clinic

Drug Rehabilitation Centers

Vets Vets for people's pets, you can even add robot vets, for robot pets.

Nursing Homes Home for the elderly.

Asylums Home for people with serious mental health problems.

Pharmacies Are these private? Are there black market versions? What medicines can you buy here?

Dentist Promp questions: Are there any unique procedures? Do people's teeth are different? What about dentists for different species?

Sanatorium These usually are in the nicest parts of a city in the outskirts. They do have big gardens too. It can be even in space too, or even virtually.

Morgue Story tips: you can include a place like this for investigations or horror elements.

Cemetry Before diving deep into this one, state how your people bury their loved ones. The method the whole cemetry. Here are some burial types from the world:- Leaving the body in nature (or space)- Embalming, and preserving- Leaving in water (or space), or let it sail away on a ship- Burning the body (by fire, or by sunfire), and placing the urns in a sacred place (space, ground, buildings, etc.)- Buring the body under ground

Crematorium Used if your people burn bodies.

Quarantine zone

Misc Essentials

As these are essentials, they can be targets in a conflict. This can help your story further.

Fire station

Water tower (and storage) If it doesn't come from a pshysically higher place.

Server buildings

Lighthouse

Transportation and Travel

Transportation can change a lot in a scifi high tech world. I often grab a real concept and put into a different enviroment. Train? Space - Train. Jetski? Sun wave - jetski.When building transportation, think about:- where these vehicles are stored- where you can access the service,- who repairs them and where- where do they go when they are no longer used. These types of transports all have office centers, and they are usually different corporations and companies.If the parking lots or hangars are abonded, it can be a place where homeless people gathered, and live.

Bus stations, depot, stops and repair garages

Spaceship (or airplane) ports, hangars and repair hangars Don't forget to add ports and hangars for military, trading and public transport spaceships.

Metro stations, metro depot

Taxi stations, depot

Ship ports On rivers, sea, ocean, or the sky. (for flying ships but not spaceships.) Don't forget to about military, trading and public transport. These ports can be just platfroms.

Parking lots Multi storey car park.

Rental Renting the vehicles you have in your city, spacehips, cars, ships, etc.

Travel agencies

Fuel stations gas stations for cars, taxies and buses, and fueal stations for spaceships, and ships.Prompts questions: Where are these located? Is there possibility of shortage?

Package receiving point (or drop point)

Warehouses (personal, corporations, cars, etc)

Housing & Homes

Housing is an interesting part of building a city. I advise you to look around in your enviroment, and in the world how people live in different countries. You can always twist these ideas by putting them into a different enviroments (e.g.: shipping containers as living space, in a frosty enviroment, and people use fur to cover the insides for insulation.)

Luxury flats, and houses

Middle class flats, and houses

Lower class flats, and houses

Huge flat blocks (all are the same, available for all classes)

Prebuilt houses (all are the same, available for all classes)

For 20 years, the only way to really communicate privately was to use a widely hated piece of software called Pretty Good Privacy. The software, known as PGP, aimed to make secure communication accessible to the lay user, but it was so poorly designed that even Edward Snowden messed up his first attempt to use PGP to email a friend of Laura Poitras. It also required its users to think like engineers, which included participating in exceptionally nerdy activities like attending real-life “key-signing parties” to verify your identity to other users. Though anyone could technically use PGP, the barrier to entry was so high that only about 50,000 people used it at its peak, meaning that privacy itself was out of reach for most.

These days, to talk to a friend securely, all you have to do is download a free app. For a certain set, that app will be Signal. Snowden and Elon Musk have recommended it; it’s been name-dropped on big-budget shows like House of Cards, Mr. Robot, and Euphoria, and its users include journalists, members of the White House, NBA players, Black Lives Matters activists, and celebrities trying to get their hands on Ozempic. Its founder has been profiled by The New Yorker and appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast. A tiny organization with virtually no marketing budget has become synonymous with digital privacy in the public imagination.

Technology can be deeply shaped by the personal inclinations of a founder. Facebook’s light-fingeredness with user data is inseparable from its roots in Zuckerberg’s dorm room as an app for ranking women by their looks; Apple’s minimalist design was influenced by Jobs’ time spent practicing Zen Buddhism. Signal is no different. During its formative years, the charismatic face of Signal was Moxie Marlinspike, a dreadlocked anarchist who spent his time sailing around the world, living in punk houses, and serving free food to the unhoused. He led every aspect of Signal’s development for almost a decade, at one point complaining, “I was writing all the Android code, was writing all of the server code, was the only person on call for the service, was facilitating all product development, and was managing everyone. I couldn’t ever leave cell service.”

In the field of cryptography, Marlinspike is considered the driving force behind bringing end-to-end encryption—the technology underlying Signal—to the real world. In 2017, Marlinspike and his collaborator, Trevor Perrin, received the Levchin Prize, a prominent prize for cryptographers, for their work on the Signal Protocol. Afterward, Dan Boneh, the Stanford professor who chaired the award committee, commented that he wasn’t sure that end-to-end encryption would have become widespread without Marlinspike’s work. At the very least, “it would have taken many more decades,” he said.

The motivations that led to end-to-end encryption going mainstream lie far out on the political fringe. The original impetus for Marlinspike’s entry into cryptography, around 2007, was to challenge existing power structures, particularly the injustice of how (as he put it) “Internet insecurity is used by people I don’t like against people I do: the government against the people.” But sticking to anarchism would imply an almost certain defeat. As Marlinspike once noted, the “trail of ideas that disappears into the horizon behind me is completely and utterly mined over with failures … Anarchists are best known for their failures.”

For an idealistic engineer to succeed, he will have to build something that is useful to many. So there has also been an unusually pragmatic bent to Signal’s approach. Indeed, in many interviews, Marlinspike has taken a mainstream stance, insisting that “Signal is just trying to bring normality to the internet.” Signal’s success depends on maintaining its principled anarchist commitments while finding a wide-ranging appeal to the masses, two goals that might seem at odds. Examining how the app navigates this tension can help us understand what might come next in Signal’s new quest to reach “everyone on the planet.”

Released after WhatsApp set the standards for messaging, Signal’s problem has always been how to keep up with its competition—a fine dance between mimicry (so as to seem familiar to new users) and innovation (to poach users from its competitors). Signal started off by copying WhatsApp's user experience, while at the same time pioneering end-to-end encryption, a feature that WhatsApp turned around and copied from Signal. Throughout this evolutionary dance, Signal has managed to maintain an unusual focus on the autonomy of the individual, a wariness of state authority, and an aversion to making money, characteristics that are recognizably anarchist.

Because a small fringe of cypherpunks, Marlinspike included, came to see cryptography as a way to remedy the imbalance of power between the individual and the state, Signal focused on getting end-to-end encryption on messages and calls absolutely right. With Signal, no one can read your messages. Amazon can’t, the US government can’t, Signal can’t. The same is true for voice calls and metadata: A user’s address book and group chat titles are just as safe. Signal knows basically nothing about you, other than your phone number (which is not mapped to your username), the time you created your account, and the time you last used the app. Your data can’t be sold to others or cause ads to follow you around on the internet. Using Signal is just like talking with your friend in the kitchen.

Because Signal is committed to retaining as little metadata as possible, that makes it hard for it to implement new features that are standard to other apps. Signal is essentially footing the cost of this commitment in engineer-hours, since implementing popular features like group chats, address books, and stickers all required doing novel research in cryptography. That Signal built them anyway is a testament to its desire for mass appeal.

Signal also pioneered features that gave individuals more autonomy over their information, such as disappearing messages (which WhatsApp later adopted) and a feature that let users blur faces in a photo (which it rapidly rolled out to support the Black Lives Matter protests). At the same time, Signal has garnered users' trust because its code is open source, so that security researchers can verify that its end-to-end encryption is as strong as the organization claims.

For the ordinary user, though, individual autonomy and privacy may not be as important. On WhatsApp, users accept that it will be very hard to figure out what exactly the app knows about you and who it might be shared with. Users’ information is governed by an ever-shifting labyrinth of grudging caveats and clauses like “we will share your transaction data and IP address with Facebook” and “we can’t see your precise location, but we’ll still try to estimate it as best as we can” and “we will find out if you click on a WhatsApp share button on the web.” WhatsApp is also closed-source, so its code can’t be audited. If using Signal is like talking in a friend’s kitchen, using WhatsApp is like meeting at a very loud bar—your conversation is safe, but you’re exposed, and you’ll have to pay for your place.

If you’re not an anarchist, you may be less worried about a shadowy state and more worried about actual people you know. People in your community might be harassing you in a group chat, an abusive ex might be searching your chats for old photos to leak, or your child might have gotten access to your unlocked phone. WhatsApp’s features better support a threat model that is sensitive to interpersonal social dynamics: You can leave groups silently, block screenshots for view-once messages, and lock specific chats. WhatsApp can even view the text of end-to-end encrypted messages that have been reported by a user for moderation, whereas Signal has no moderation at all.

Idealists have called centralization one of the main ills of the internet because it locks users into walled gardens controlled by authoritarian companies. In a great stroke of pragmatism, Signal chose to be centralized anyway. Other encrypted-messaging apps like Matrix offer a federated model akin to email, in which users across different servers can still communicate through a shared protocol. (Someone on Gmail can still email someone on Yahoo, whereas someone on Facebook Messenger can’t contact someone on Signal.) This federated approach more closely mirrors anarchy; it could theoretically be better, because there would be no single point of failure and no single service provider for a government to pressure. But federated software creates a proliferation of different clients and servers for the same protocol, making it hard to upgrade. Users are already used to centralized apps that behave like Facebook or Twitter, and email has already become centralized into a few main service providers. It turns out that being authoritarian is important for maintaining a consistent user experience and a trusted brand, and for rolling out software updates quickly. Even anarchism has its limits.

What Signal has accomplished so far is impressive. But users famously judge software not on how much it can do, but on how much it can’t. In that spirit, it’s time to complain.

Because of Signal’s small team, limited funding, and the challenges of implementing features under end-to-end encryption, the app bafflingly lacks a number of important features. It doesn’t have encrypted backups for iOS; messages can only be transferred between phones. If you lose your iPhone, you lose all your Signal chat history.

Signal also doesn’t do a good job serving some of its core users. Activists and organizers deal with huge amounts of messages that involve many people and threads, but Signal’s interface lacks ways to organize all this information. These power users’ group chats become so unwieldy that they migrate to Slack, losing the end-to-end encryption that brought them to Signal in the first place. It’s common to try and make multiple group chats between the same people to manage all their threads. When users are hacking “desire paths” into your interface to create a new feature, or leaving because of the lack of the feature, that’s a strong hint that something is missing.

WhatsApp and Telegram, on the other hand, are leading the way on defining how group chats can scale up. WhatsApp “communities” gather different private group chats in one place, better mimicking the organization of a neighborhood or school that may be discussing several things at once. Telegram’s social media “channel” features are better for broadcasting info en masse, though Telegram’s lack of moderation has been blamed for attracting the kind of fringe crowd that has been banned from all other platforms.

It's no exaggeration to say that small features in a chat app encode different visions of how society should be organized. If the first reacji in the palette was a thumbs down rather than a heart, maybe we would all be more negative, cautious people. What kind of social vision did Signal arise from?

“Looking back, I and everyone I knew was looking for that secret world hidden in this one,” Marlinspike admitted in a 2016 interview. A key text in anarchist theory describes the idea of a “temporary autonomous zone,” a place of short-term freedom where people can experiment with new ways to live together outside the confines of current social norms. Originally coined to describe “pirate utopias” that may be apocryphal, the term has since been used to understand the life and afterlife of real-world DIY spaces like communes, raves, seasteads, and protests. And Signal is, unmistakably, a temporary autonomous zone that Marlinspike has spent almost a decade building.

Because temporary autonomous zones create spaces for the radical urges that society represses, they keep life in the daytime more stable. They can sometimes make money in the way that nightclubs and festivals do. But temporary autonomous zones are temporary for a reason. Over and over, zone denizens make the same mistake: They can’t figure out how to interact productively with the wider society. The zone often runs out of money because it exists in a world where people need to pay rent. Success is elusive; when a temporary autonomous zone becomes compelling enough to threaten daytime stability, it may be violently repressed. Or the attractive freedoms offered by the zone may be taken up in a milder form by the wider society, and eventually the zone ceases to exist because its existence has pressured wider society to be a little more like it. What kind of end might Signal come to?

There are reasons to think that Signal may not be around for very long. The nonprofit’s blog, meant to convince us of the elite nature of its engineers, has the unintentional effect of conveying the incredible difficulty of building any new software feature under end-to-end encryption. Its team numbers roughly 40; Marlinspike has just left the organization. Achieving impossible feats may be fun for a stunt hacker with something to prove, but competing with major tech companies’ engineering teams may not be sustainable for a small nonprofit with Marlinspike no longer at the helm.

Fittingly for an organization formerly led by an anarchist, Signal lacks a sustainable business model, to the point where you might almost call it anti-capitalist. It has survived so far in ways that don’t seem replicable, and that may alienate some users. Signal is largely funded by a big loan from a WhatsApp founder, and that loan has already grown to $100 million. It has also accepted funding from the US government through the Open Technology Fund. Because Signal can’t sell its users’ data, it has recently begun developing a business model based on directly providing services to users and encouraging them to donate to Signal in-app. But to get enough donations, the nonprofit must grow from 40 million users to 100 million. The company’s aggressive pursuit of growth, coupled with lack of moderation in the app, has already led Signal employees themselves to publicly question whether growth might come from abusive users, such as far-right groups using Signal to organize.

But there are also reasons for hope. So far, the most effective change that Signal has created is arguably not the existence of the app itself, but making it easy for WhatsApp to bring Signal-style end-to-end encryption to billions of users. Since WhatsApp’s adoption, Facebook Messenger, Google’s Android Messages, and Microsoft’s Skype have all adopted the open source Signal Protocol, though in milder forms, as the history of temporary autonomous zones would have us guess. Perhaps the existence of the Signal Protocol, coupled with demand from increasingly privacy-conscious users, will encourage better-funded messaging apps to compete against each other to be as encrypted as possible. Then Signal would no longer need to exist. (In fact, this resembles Signal’s original theory of change, before they decided they would rather compete with mainstream tech companies.)

Now, as the era of the global watercooler ends, small private group chats are becoming the future of social life on the internet. Signal started out a renegade, a pirate utopia encircled by cryptography, but the mainstream has become—alarmingly quickly—much closer to the vision Signal sought. In one form or another, its utopia just might last.

"Elevate Your Cloud Experience: Buy a Linode Account"

Introduction

In the modern digital landscape, where cloud computing has become an integral part of businesses and individual endeavors alike, Linode stands out as a reliable and popular choice for hosting virtual private servers (VPS). As the demand for Linode accounts continues to grow, a niche market has emerged where individuals seek to buy and sell Linode accounts. However, this practice raises several ethical and security considerations that both buyers and sellers must carefully navigate. In this article, we will delve into the world of buying Linode accounts, exploring its benefits, potential risks, and the ethical concerns associated with it.

Understanding Linode Accounts

Linode is a well-established cloud hosting provider known for its VPS solutions. A Linode account grants users access to a cloud-based infrastructure that enables them to deploy, manage, and scale virtual servers to meet their specific needs. From hosting websites and applications to running development environments, Linode provides a versatile platform for various computing tasks.

Benefits of Purchasing Linode Accounts

Immediate Access: Buying a Linode account gives users instant access to the Linode platform, eliminating the need to go through the standard sign-up process, which can sometimes involve waiting periods due to verification procedures.

Pre-Existing Configurations: Some Linode accounts for sale may come with pre-configured setups that can save users time and effort in setting up their desired server environment.

Time Efficiency: Purchasing a Linode account can be beneficial when time is of the essence, as it allows users to skip the initial setup phase and jump straight into their projects.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Security: Acquiring Linode accounts from unofficial sources could pose security risks. Sellers might retain access to the account even after the sale, potentially compromising the buyer's data and sensitive information.

Legality: The practice of buying and selling Linode accounts might not align with Linode's terms of service. Engaging in such transactions could lead to account suspension or other legal consequences.

Quality and Support: When purchasing a Linode account, there's a chance that the account might be unreliable or compromised in some way. Additionally, buyers might miss out on Linode's official customer support, which can be crucial in times of technical difficulties.

Ethical Concerns: The morality of buying and selling accounts can be debated. It raises questions about the rightful ownership of accounts, as well as potential negative impacts on the service provider and its community.

Ethical Considerations

While some individuals might be drawn to the convenience of purchasing pre-established Linode accounts, it's essential to consider the ethical implications of such actions. Here are a few ethical points to ponder:

Violating Terms of Service: Engaging in account trading could violate Linode's terms of service, potentially resulting in account suspension or termination. This undermines the principles of fair use and proper conduct within a service provider's community.

Loss to the Service Provider: Linode invests resources in maintaining its services and ensuring a secure environment for all users. Buying and selling accounts could result in financial loss to the service provider, potentially impacting their ability to provide quality services.

Community Impact: Account trading can create an unhealthy environment within the Linode community, eroding trust and potentially leading to a decrease in the overall quality of service for all users.

Conclusion

Purchasing Linode accounts might offer certain conveniences, but it comes with a plethora of potential risks and ethical concerns that should not be taken lightly. Individuals interested in utilizing Linode's services should consider the implications of buying accounts and weigh them against the potential benefits. It's advisable to adhere to Linode's terms of service and create accounts through legitimate channels to ensure the security, legality, and ethicality of their actions in the online realm.

How to choose the best web hosting for your online business

What are the most suitable web hosting option for your business? This is a question we often pose to ourselves whenever we plan to create a website.

When we begin to develop a project, we do it with the mission of making it grow and become something bigger. Selecting a professional web hosting provider from the very beginning is essential in order to ensure that you get good results.

On many occasions we decide to choose web hosting which is inexpensive and we fall prey to offers that we find on the Internet without taking into consideration the many factors that could cause us trouble.

Of all these aspects that are essential to consider for the development of our site among the major ones that we must start with web hosting or web hosting.

We'll tell you how to choose the most suitable hosting provider for your website.

What is web hosting?

A web hosting or web hosting is a space on an internet server that is connected to the Internet where a webpage is hosted in order that it is open and accessible to all.

There are many types that webhosting can be used, we are going to cover three primary types:

Free web hosting

shared web hosting

Web hosting that is private (VPS)

dedicated web server

We'll discuss the factors that are crucial to selecting the web hosting that suits the requirements of our business:

Types of accommodation

no cost web hosting

There are numerous kinds of web hosting for free that are provided to us through different channels, to serve as a way to get started building an online business. But, if our goal is to go far with a minimum of professionalism, we have to bet on a reputable paid web hosting service to reap the multitude of benefits it can provide us as compared to the free hosting.

For all this, we strongly advise against putting your website project to a free hosting provider as it is very restricted in its functions and might not be able to provide us with all the features we require.

Web hosting shared

This type of hosting allows us to have a paid server, however, it's fairly cheap and that is also shared among other clients. It is suitable for small and new businesses and blogs with a huge amount of user base.

In the negative point, we can declare that we are punished for the actions taken by other websites that are not ours however, with whom we are sharing servers. This means, if in the case of these other websites use a lot of poor quality email marketing which is extremely likely that when we mail an email we end up within the recipient's spam or junk mail basket, and we will not achieve good results with our campaigns due to it being.

Private Web Hosting (VPS)

You may have heard of this type as VPS (Virtual Private Server). It is a type of hosting service for our company that provides us with the processing power, memory, and resources of computers specifically to our specific project.

Dedicated Web Server

It's a web-hosting service where you possess a physical server specifically for you.

It is typically used for huge websites with high traffic, in the range of hundreds of thousands of page views per month.

This server is more expensive than prior ones and requires you to have advanced knowledge of server administration in order to handle it properly.

Tips to select a reliable web hosting

If you're aware of the options that you have available, you must choose the one that best meets the requirements of your company. To do this, we are going to present you with some key factors that you should consider so as not to fail when selecting a web hosting which is suitable for your online business

Tech team

It is crucial that the server that you choose to use has a good technical team and that it is quick and efficient. This is important for them to be able quickly deal with any issues that could occur. The technical team's service channels could include: phone and email, support tickets, social networks or even online chat in some instances. According to your preferences, it is important to have a variety of options to communicate directly with the technical team.

Commercial Team

It is possible to have someone who advises you based on your needs can help you choose the best option depending on where your business is at.

Security

Make sure that you have good security safeguards in place, as this is crucial to stop attack by external threats and malware on your website.

If you are thinking that simply by installing an security plugin on WordPress and another one to be able to create backup copies, you already have everything under control and in order, you're very wrong.

It will become accessible to anyone, and there is no guarantee that everyone will be good.

Space storage

Since your website is an information management system that is accessible via the internet, you need to take into account that you'll be storing photos text, videos, and other files stored on the server. So, the space you have available to store the information in your web hosting system is vital.

For smaller projects you should not need any more than 2 GB or storage.

Ease of Administration

It is essential to pay for quality. If you're interested in choosing the best WordPress web hosting service that lets you do exactly the same thing but more efficiently and faster pick an WordPress web hosting solution that incorporates two essential points:

This allows you to install WordPress quickly.

Create a strong management team.

A good wordpress web hosting offers the installation of WordPress within a single click, meaning that you can install it right away after you have hired the service.

There are many controls panels but the most widespread due to various factors is CPanel. If the web hosting includes cPanel we will save ourselves the time and effort. It is an extremely popular server since it allows you to control the aspects of your web hosting quickly and easily.

Bandwidth

It is important to take this into consideration based on the requirements you face in order to not exceed the amount you've contracted , and with that the server and the web may be charged or you are charged on your account for charges that were not planned for.

Domains are free for the first year

Some web hosting services use the trick of providing domains at no cost for the initial year. Be cautious in choosing these choices as they can cause you to have a large cost for renewal after one year.

Max number of domains

You should not worry excessively about this aspect because, generally, when you hire a hosting provider or web hosting service, it is only need to have one or two reserved domains.

You just have to know that there may be limitations on the maximum amount of domains you can register with your domain registration and web hosting.

Unlimited or limited email accounts

Most web hosts usually offer an upper limit on the number of email accounts you can create. That's why it's an additional factor to be considered if you are required to have a number of associated email accounts.

Paid or free SSL certificates

It is an important aspect to remember that your web hosting provides the user with either free or paid SSL certificates.

If you're not sure what you need to know about putting your site ssl-secured protocol, we suggest you to read this article where we explain it in detail:

Why you should pass your website to the SSL protocol immediately if you are able to do so

Idiom

If you're not fluent in English or are having trouble getting along in a non-native language, you must know that there are hosts on the internet that offer services in another language. Hosting with support in the language that we speak in order to facilitate management and support jobs will enable us to effectively manage our online company.

Price

In the end, price can also be a element when selecting one hosting or the other. It is obvious that the more expensive the cost, the better its performance. we recommend choosing the hosting that best meets the requirements of the project , so as to avoid the excessive costs of economics.
