  "textContent": "Offering a small plan with additional features is in the back of my mind, but the tailored security is not going to be a part of it. There are a lot of problems with the whole idea of account specific security, as I already explained in detail in my previous post.\n\nIf you actually want to get full control over how your website is secured, you’d need your own server where you can decide the setup yourself. A VPS can be had for a pretty low price, but then you’re responsible for managing it, which takes a lot of extra know-how. A middle ground is a Managed VPS, where you get your own server but the provider manages it on your behalf, but those typically cost at least $100 per month, and quickly go up to many times that price.\n\nA key aspect of web hosting is that the hosting provider is responsible for managing the hosting server so you don’t need to worry about that. Part of that is that the hosting provider decides how to ensure optimal security and performance of the hosting. The kind of custom security that you want is inherently not part of web hosting because the idea of web hosting is that security is the hosting provider’s problem.\n\nSo that’s why this won’t be part of any “extra features” plan. It’s not a matter of price. Customizable security simply isn’t something a shared hosting service can offer. Any service at these prices will be a commodity, because custom work is expensive.\n\nBut if all you want is to get rid of the current security system, there is a very obvious low-cost solution available already: just buy a premium plan at iFastNet. A Start Premium plan can be had for as little as $30 per year and ensures you don’t need to bother with this system at all anymore.\n\nWhat you’re looking for is free hosting that doesn’t behave like free hosting. But I cannot give you that, because that’s what free hosting is: constrained, so we can keep costs low enough to be able to offer it for free. Making the hosting faster, more reliable and more versatile isn’t a feature that can just be added, it’s fundamentally distinct infrastructure.\n\nI don’t understand why you’re happy to pay us but not iFastNet. Our free hosting is powered by them, and many decisions about how the hosting works were made by them. iFastNet isn’t some unknown third party, they’re the provider who has kept your website running this whole time. Their premium hosting is a separate platform, built to be faster and more capable, but it’s run by the same people you’ve already been relying on.",
