GreenCloud VPS vs. Namecrane Shared Hosting?
Hello Lowendtalk, I have some questions and would appreciate your answers.
Does Namecrane Shared Hosting speed/performance is comparable with GreenCloud VPS (2C 4GB) for Wordpress portfolio/personal website? (Low traffic)
Previously I use GreenCloud BudgetKVMSG-2 DC2 to install some Docker/self hosted apps. Now I only use for my Wordpress website, which I think using a VPS is overkill.
I used to use BuyVM and was satisfied with their service. So I thought about switching to Namecrane. But still doubtful about the speed difference.
Thank you!

Based on what you described, go with Namecrane.
Wordpress (PHP) use single thread power more, so buying a shared hosting with 7950x will be better than a VPS
I've heard that Namecrane is quite good.

Thanks for the answer 👍🏻
Awesome, that's new info for me. Thanks for the recommendation.
You sure about that? LOL
Anyway, will Namecrane release Black Friday deals?
I am waiting to buy both if good offer in black friday...anyways according to your requirements go with Namecrane.
If you want I can create an DirectAdmin account on an NameCrane reseller that I have for one month just to test the services.
Location Luxembourg, EU.
@alfirous

I am using Namecrane right now. Its pretty good.
Support could be a little faster but other than that its awesome.
I would take VPS as sooner or later you gonna again fiddle with stuff that you can't do on shared hosting and you will have to buy one :-D
Me too, better wait than regret later.
Thanks for the offer. Currently I use Singapore VPS, and I have used BuyVM Luxemburg, the ping is bad from my place.
That's the last resort.
Yus brother.
Namecrane
Fair enough, but there's Hetzner for that. Besides, I already found another hobby to fiddle with lol.
@Francisco
No signals, so far.
I think they focused on release new product on Black Friday.
Thanks for mentioning HostBrr, looks promising, now I keep my eyes on both for Black Friday lol.
Nothing but good things to say about Namecrane here. They've been absolutely excellent for me and my clients.
I don't really know what kind of answer your expecting here but from a technical standpoint, there is no way to know without detailed information about how oversold each option is. Unless you are buying a dedicated server or VDS (virtual dedicated server) with dedicated resources, the only way to tell if a company doesn't release this kind of info (and none of them do) is to run stressful benchmarks over long periods of time. Those types of benchmarks may get you banned though, so I'm not suggesting that. Shared hosting (VPS or cPanel/similar) is built around the idea that a provider oversells to maximize profit while minimizing the loss of paying customers. As someone who needs to host a low-traffic website, you will probably be fine with either option.
