## Start With Your Traffic Estimate
Before picking a hosting plan, estimate your expected monthly visitors:
- **0โ10,000 visitors/month** โ Shared hosting ($4.50โ8/mo)
- **10,000โ100,000 visitors/month** โ VPS hosting ($12โ48/mo)
- **100,000+ visitors/month** โ Dedicated server ($49+/mo)
What Startups Actually Need
**1. Reliability First** Hosting reliability directly impacts revenue and customer trust. Choose a provider with clear infrastructure practices, realistic support routes, and transparent service terms.
**2. Speed Matters for Conversion** Faster pages usually improve user experience and conversion potential. NVMe SSD storage can help, especially when combined with clean code, caching, and optimized images.
**3. Easy Scaling** Your startup may grow fast. Pick a host with a clear upgrade path so scaling does not become a rushed emergency.
**4. Support You Can Rely On** Clear support routes are essential when technical issues affect a live website or business email.
