Most Popular Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about choosing between Ignishost services.
Standard Hosting (Spark & Blaze) runs on a shared server environment — affordable and reliable for smaller sites. Cloud Hosting (Spark, Blaze & Inferno) gives you cloud infrastructure with Brotli compression, more granular backup options (1/7/30-day), and prioritized support. Cloud plans are a significant step up in both performance and resource isolation.
If you’re launching a first site with moderate expectations and a tight budget, Standard Spark at $170/yr is the right call. If you want cloud-grade infrastructure, Brotli compression, and prioritized support from day one — and your site matters to your business — Cloud Spark at $299/yr is worth the difference.
Yes. You can migrate from any Standard plan to a Cloud plan at any time. Our support team handles the transfer and ensures there’s no downtime during the move.
Brotli is a modern compression algorithm that typically reduces file sizes 15–25% better than gzip. All Cloud plans include Brotli support, meaning pages load faster for your visitors without any configuration. Standard plans use standard gzip compression.
Cloud Hosting plans receive faster response times from the Ignishost support team compared to Standard Hosting’s basic support queue. If you’re running a business-critical site, this can make a meaningful difference when you need help quickly.
Yes — all five plans (Standard Spark, Standard Blaze, Cloud Spark, Cloud Blaze, and Cloud Inferno) include a free SSL certificate that is automatically installed and renewed.
For a WooCommerce store with moderate traffic, Cloud Spark gives you a solid cloud foundation. For stores with higher volume or multiple storefronts, Cloud Blaze or Inferno — with more storage, databases, and transfer — provides the headroom you’ll need.
Standard Hosting plans (Spark & Blaze) include 7-day and 30-day backup retention. Cloud plans (Spark, Blaze & Inferno) add a 1-day backup as well, giving you three restore points: 1, 7, and 30 days. Both tiers run nightly/weekly automated backups.
