Comparison FAQ

Can I migrate from Lightsail to Hostodo?

Yes! We recommend using tools like rsync, SCP, or disk snapshots to migrate your data. Our support team can assist with the process.

Is Hostodo reliable enough for production?

Absolutely. We maintain 99.9% uptime SLA, use KVM virtualization for security, and partner with tier-1 datacenters (Fiberhub, 123.NET, Hivelocity).

What if I need AWS services like S3 or RDS?

You can still use AWS services and just host your compute on Hostodo. For tightly integrated workloads, Lightsail may be a better fit.
