Easy comparison between thin rental server and mixhost

Short answer: I will explain it for those who don't have time to read.

Which one should I choose to avoid failure? If you are in doubt, you will definitelyShin Rental ServerI recommend it.

Each function, feature, and comparison will be explained one by one later, but server performance relative to the price, the so-called cost-effectiveness. As a result of considering the usability, the thin rental server wins.

Below, we will take a closer look at the two rental servers and compare them.

First, let's take a look at the thin rental server.

What is a thin rental server?

No. 1 in Japan in terms of market share, X-Server is a rental server.

The operator X serverIn 2021, we started a new Thin Rental Server.

The feature of thin rental server is that it is "the fastest in Japan". Even when compared to other rental servers, it boasts a crisp usability and display speed.

We were the first to introduce technologies that other companies did not have, and new technologies that are planned to be introduced to X Server in the future are also being added to the thin rental server ahead of time.

With the stability of X Server and the new technologies that are prioritized for introduction, thin rental servers are already gaining popularity.

What is mixhost?

One of the most popular domestic rental servers is mixhost. It has been in operation since June 2016 and has a reputation for its display speed.

After all, it is equipped with a feature called "LiteSpeed Cache" that allows you to display your WordPress site at high speed. This feature dramatically improves site display speed.

By the way, there are not many rental servers in Japan that can use LiteSpeed Cache.

You can also add your own domain as much as you want, so you can run unlimited websites in a high-spec server environment.

Hmm? Wait a minute. Both Shin Rental Server and mixhost appeal for "high speed display", but which one has the higher display speed?

I will compare and explain.

Compare by price

First, let's compare by pricing plans.

MixHost offers 5 pricing plans:

The image is small and difficult to see. You don't have to look closely. It is enough for you to understand that there are five plans.

Among these, the cheapest plan is Standard. The initial cost is 0 yen, 968 yen per month (if you sign a 36-month contract).

On the other hand, the plans for thin rental servers are as follows.

Four plans are available. The cheapest plan is Basic. The initial cost is 0 yen, 770 yen per month (if you sign a 36-month contract).

Here's a comparison of the prices and performance of mixhost and thin rental servers.

Mixhost doesn't have a free trial period. However, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

This table is current as of December 1, 2021. Overall, the table shows which rental server is better.

Overall, the performance of thin rental servers is higher and the price is cheaper.

Compare by performance

As we saw above, it is better than mixhostThin rental servers are cheaper for performanceis.

mixhost also has high server performance. If you are running a blog or site, this is more than enough. Mixhost also includes a WordPress acceleration feature called LiteSpeed Cache. This feature does not exist on thin rental servers.

This LiteSpeed Cache allows WordPress sites running within mixhost to display at a high speed.

On the other hand, thin rental servers also have a speed up function. X Accelerator Ver.2 is implemented. This feature allows you to stabilize and speed up your site.

In addition, it is a rental server that has achieved the "fastest in Japan" by actively incorporating the latest technology that does not exist on other companies' servers.

Both are fast. However, based on my experience using both, I feel that the thin rental server is faster.

In fact, mixhost has introduced a speeding function, LiteSpeed Cache, but if you turn on all the settings of this function and make full use of it, the layout of the site will all collapse. (Layout collapse due to misconfiguration in LiteSpeed Cache is "yes")

Therefore, I couldn't increase the display speed to the limit with mixhost. That is one of the reasons.

By the way, with thin rental servers, there has never been a single problem where the site layout collapses while increasing speed.

Well, so far, we have compared the performance of mixhost and thin rental server.

The so-called cost-effectiveness is definitely better than the thin rental server. The price is low and the performance is high.

Comparison by ease of use of the management screen

Next, we will compare the ease of use between mixhost and thin rental servers.

Let's compare the management screens. This is the page most used by publishers.

First of all, mixhost uses an app called cPanel for the management screen. You don't need to remember the name cPanel.

In other words, using this app makes mixhost a "very versatile" management screen.

For those who are familiar with cPanel, it may be obvious. However, for beginners, the management screen is complicated.

Where should I set up my WordPress installation? "Hotlink protection? phpMyAdmin？ What is that?"

I'm confused when I'm using it. It took me half a year to get used to the mixhost admin screen.

On the other hand, thin rental server has the following management screen.

The design of the management screen is not modern and feels a little old-fashioned. But it's easier to understand than mixhost. Even beginners can understand at a glance where to set it up.

In October 2021, I moved from mixhost to Thin Rental Server, and I was once again impressed by the ease of viewing this admin screen. Too easy to use.

From a beginner's point of view, the management screen is easier to use with thin rental servers.

Compare by support system

Next, compare by support structure.

First of all, with Shin Rental Server,

• Phone Support
• Email Support

Two types of support are available. Telephone calls are accepted from 10 a.m. ~ 6 p.m. on weekdays. Email correspondence can be sent 24 hours a day.

MixHost support is only available for email support. When it comes to mixhost support, there is no phone support. However, when I used mixhost support in the past, I received quick and polite email responses. Therefore, I have never had a good impression of mixhost's support.

However, if you are considering a generous support system, you can rest assured that a thin rental server with many support options will be safe. After all, in an emergency, it is more reassuring to be able to ask questions by phone than by email.

Compare with past results

Let's take a look at our achievements so far.

First of all, mixhost was launched in June 2016. Thin Rental Server was launched in 2021. mixhost has a long history of operation.

Also, mixhost uses

• Access processing speed satisfaction NO.1
• Display speed satisfaction NO.1
• Affiliate and blogger satisfaction NO.1

It seems that it has won the No. 1 satisfaction rating of three from the Japan Marketing Research Organization.

On the other hand, the track record of thin rental servers is still small. However, if you look at the operation performance of X Server, the operator of the thin rental server, it can be said that it is more than mixhost.

The above is the performance of X Server, which is the operating basis of Shin Rental Server.

It has been operating for 18 years and is currently the No. 1 rental server in Japan, operating more than 2 million websites.

The reason why I can use Shin Rental Server with peace of mind is because the operator has a lot of achievements so far. It is not a rental server launched in 2021 by a company whose name I don't know.

In terms of simple achievements, mixhost is better. However, if you include the operator's operational performance, you can see that you can use Shin Rental Server with confidence.

Summary: Which is better, Shin Rental Server or Mixhost?

To summarize, I would like to post another comparison table between mixhost and thin rental servers.

Overall,Shin Rental ServerIt is a "win".

Both are excellent domestic hosting servers. If you're a beginner starting a WordPress blog, then you can choose either option.

I use both, and both are easy to install WordPress, so you won't have any doubts about how to use them.

However, in terms of cost-effectiveness (price and performance) and ease of use, thin rental servers are superior.

Personally, I recommend Shin Rental Server. I assure you, who actually use it. Also, this site is operated by a thin rental server.
