One of the reasons why smartphones have got huge widescreen screens is for watching videos. Processors today are able to consume almost no energy when the smartphone is operating in video player mode, and in terms of the number of formats that a typical Android smartphone can handle, it is even cooler than computers. In theory, it can handle both ancient videos from the early 90s and new 4K videos.

In theory, because standard video players in smartphones are made according to the principle “as long as something is played somehow.” If you manage to record a bunch of movies from your computer to your smartphone to watch them on the road, you run the risk of finding that half of the videos either cannot be opened or are played back without picture and/or sound.

MX Player is an excellent omnivorous video player on Android

All this can be fixed by installing a truly omnivorous player. There are many of them, but MX is one of the most authoritative and sophisticated among its kind. It plays any video and music in a very economical mode, even on old smartphones, can make the volume in video recordings twice as high as a standard player (in films with a quiet soundtrack, this is very useful), switch between several types of voice acting, and zoom in with a pinch ", as in photographs, and open videos from sites in a convenient Android player.

MX Player itself is free, but full of advertising. The ad-free version already costs money. The only troublesome thing is that, due to the greed of patent holders, support for the AC3 format (multichannel sound in modern films) needs to be downloaded and “screwed on” separately. But take my word for it - the player is very good and deserves such trouble.

ES Explorer - cleaning your smartphone from junk and transferring files over Wi-Fi

A long time ago, when Android was a semi-finished product, there were no sensible file managers. In order to flaunt to iPhone owners the fact “look, I have everything organized into folders, like on a computer!”, it was necessary to download a separate application for managing files.

Those days are long gone, and now every smartphone has banal programs for renaming, moving or copying files. But there are no quality ones among them.

ES Explorer will help you transfer files over Wi-Fi and clean your system of junk

ES Explorer was one of the first noteworthy file managers on Android; today it has grown in breadth and can do much more than the average user needs. But an active Android phone user will definitely need the following “goodies”:

• Ability to open files from local network. For example, from a shared folder on your computer/laptop, or from a hard drive/flash drive that you plugged into the router.
• Working with archives. Someday they will send you a stack of photographs, a Word/Excel document inside .zip, .rar or something even worse. ES Explorer will be able to open such archives without problems.
• Drive analysis. If your smartphone is filled to capacity with files, and it’s not very clear why the space suddenly ran out so suddenly, just press the “analyze” key in ES, after which it will show how much space in memory is occupied by pictures/music/applications and games/documents, will arrange them from large to small and allow you to remove “garbage” right in the same menu. There is almost no alternative in terms of convenience.
• Transfer files between smartphones at Wi-Fi speed. It's unlikely that you send photos, music and videos to nearby mobile phones as often as in the era of polyphonic ringtones, but Bluetooth has always been a dull and slow method of communication, and the normal universal way to transfer files over Wi-Fi is not came up with it. More precisely, they came up with it, but only between identical applications. If you and your friend have ES Explorer, you can send large files in two clicks at the highest speed possible between mobile phones - the file manager has a “sender” function for this case.

WPS Office - Word, Excel and everything, everything, everything

During the existence of smartphones, Microsoft Office standard files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) were at first an “overwhelming” exotic, then a revelation with which everyone tried to edit texts on tiny screens. Today, there are no miracles in viewing and minor editing of text in documents and presentations. Another thing is that such files (+ Adobe PDF documents) will be sent to your e-mail from all sides, and there will be nothing to open them on your smartphone. You can, of course, keep the intrigue until you get to your desktop PC, but it is wiser to spend several tens of megabytes of memory on a ready-made set for opening and editing everything “office”.

WPS Office - Word, Excel and PowerPoint in your pocket

WPS Office (formerly Kingsoft Office, if anyone is interested) is not the coolest office suite of its kind, but it is free, bug-free, fast and not lacking in features even compared to expensive alternatives. We recommend.

Weather/news widgets - so as not to turn on the TV

As in the case of file managers, smartphones are not deprived of information about the temperature outside the window and the latest news, but the quality of standard widgets almost always leaves much to be desired. Therefore, we advise you to decorate your desktop with information details from other developers.

The appearance and functionality of widgets is always a matter of taste, but in our opinion, the least catchy and at the same time functional options for weather and news are offered today by Yandex. The side effect is the constant “steaming” of search, the Taxi application and other company products.

Weather and news will make your smartphone desktop always an interesting sight

At first, it will be unusual to look at headlines and weather forecasts on your desktop instead of “wallpapers,” but take my word for it - very soon you will begin to enjoy the fact that you will know all the main events in the world before TV viewers and news readers on the Internet. It is also not necessary to delve only into political conflicts - lovers of cars or electronic devices can receive information only on their favorite topics.

Shazam - find out what song is playing

Every day you hear music, among which there are songs that seem to give you an electric shock. Because when you were a child, you were running under the Christmas tree to this very song/getting ready for a first date/getting a job/something else, but from the text in foreign it is still not clear what it’s about, and you also don’t remember who actually performs this song and what is it called.

With new smartphones this is no longer a problem - you take your Android “shovel” out of your wide trousers and press a key. The smartphone listens to the song and names the artist and song title after a few seconds. That's what an app called Shazam is for.

Shazam: You'll always know what music is playing nearby

Of course, Shazam, although he was one of the first, is far from the only one of its kind - Sony has similar applications, and recently even Google began to learn to recognize music. But Shazam has the largest knowledge base, so it is still the most reliable way to recognize music using a smartphone.

Now it seems to you that such a function will not be needed regularly - when you begin to suffer after hearing a fragment of your favorite song, but did not know who sings it, you will remember our words.

Currency converter - a tragedy starring the dollar and ruble

Why are you laughing? Have you already forgotten how you tore your hair out and rushed to the stores to buy equipment in order to buy it before the price tags were rewritten?

Of course, I would like to believe that the worst is behind us, and in the coming years we will not experience sharp fluctuations in the ruble against the US dollar, but it is not a bad idea to look at how the national currency is doing, so that later you do not find out the shocking truth as the last one, from the evening news reports. And in general, a convenient tool for converting between the currencies of different countries will be useful on vacation and on business trips.

How is our long-suffering ruble doing?

There are a great many applications that can convert currencies, we will recommend one of the most visual among them - Easy Currency Converter. Simple in appearance, with the ability to select your “favorite” currencies and a graph with exchange rate dynamics. That is, in addition to the current figures, you can always see how the ruble jumped/fell against the dollar over the coming days, months or even years. Gourmets, by the way, can even look at the so-called Russian Zen - the “holy trinity” of dollar, euro and the price of a barrel of oil.

Messengers - VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, WhatsApp, Viber, Skype and others

A very naive point in our selection, but if you have just recently bought a smartphone, you should know that “smart phones” differ from simple ones by focusing on constant communication, not only for calls and SMS in GSM networks, but also via the Internet. The ability to chat in ICQ existed in ancient times, but in new smartphones running Android you have the opportunity to share huge amounts of information, video recordings, and make video calls abroad completely free of charge!

A smartphone is an opportunity to communicate without regard to tariffs and distances

Because mobile operators have long switched everyone to tariffs with a monthly fee, to which the serious rubbish of the Internet is “nailed.” This will be enough to stop sending SMS and switch to communicating with friends and relatives online.

It is not necessary to install all instant messengers at once (although it is advisable) - choose those in which you will have someone to keep in touch with. It would be enough.

Online videos - TV, online cinemas or short jokes

Of course, with the limited amount of traffic in the new cellular tariffs (Russian operators have removed unlimited data further in order to more effectively milk subscribers), it does not allow much acceleration, but the Internet package is enough for a certain amount of video entertainment. And with occasional Wi-Fi at home or at work, you can get out even more efficiently.

If you didn’t know, the “Big Three” (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon) mobile operators have applications for watching television via 3G/4G without consuming traffic from the tariff. In MTS, for such pleasure they want a little money above the tariff, in Beeline there is a small number of free channels + paid ones, MegaFon varies the number of free tariffs depending on the amount of the monthly fee for your tariff. In any case, if you would like to watch television away from the “box”, pay attention to such services of cellular operators.

TV, cinema or short videos - Android has it all

And if, on the contrary, you don’t want the TV to reach you from your mobile phone, install an online cinema for yourself to watch feature films or music videos. The most popular applications of this kind remain ivi.ru And Megogo, among the unofficial (which are not on Google Play) and completely free clients we can note VideoMix , HD VideoBox And LazyIPTV.

Modern smartphones and tablets serve a variety of purposes, performing a lot of useful functions every day. A device running Android OS out of the box already has a number of applications in its arsenal, but in addition to the pre-installed software, each user strives to supplement the functionality with other necessary tools. What can you equip your smartphone or tablet with to turn it into a truly multifunctional assistant for solving everyday tasks? There is a countless amount of software in the official Play Market store, new programs are added every day, and it becomes more and more difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Here are the best useful applications from different categories that may come in handy during... Some of them have been familiar for a long time, others will have to get acquainted, but each of them has a decent set of options and is worth attention.

In fact, not a single publication, even the most authoritative one, can objectively compile a rating that pleases everyone at once. Each user has his own priorities and interests, and what has become a vital tool for one, for another will simply take up space in the device’s memory. At the same time, there is software that can solve a number of the most common problems. We bring to your attention 10 useful applications that can help out in a variety of situations.

• Possibility of access from a PC and control via FTP.

In the new version of the application 2.0.0, the image viewer allows you to enlarge large images. File Manager + is free, but it is not crammed with advertising, as developers like to do in free versions of programs. The application is a worthy competitor to the famous ES Explorer and the good old Total Commander, but this is a matter of taste and habit.

Yandex with Alice - browser and virtual assistant in one application

Which browser to use is, again, a matter of personal convenience. A domestic product is included in the top most useful applications for Android. In addition to the fact that Yandex has long been familiar to users and has proven itself well, relatively recently it acquired a highlight - a voice assistant called Alice. The virtual girl is constantly evolving, she will help you solve current problems, find everything you need, tell you the weather, build a route, determine what is in the photo, turn on music, play or chat with you.

Share files using Share it

The top useful programs could not do without such an important tool as Share it. Efficient file transfer between devices (tablets, smartphones, PCs) at close range is possible thanks to such applications, which have replaced the now obsolete method of transferring via Bluetooth. Share it functionality assumes:

The Share it app offers lightning-fast speeds, transferring data 200 times faster than Bluetooth.

But even if you are far from a pilgrim and do not wander around the world, you never know when an assistant who can set the direction and reach your destination via a short route may come in handy.

MAPS.ME is a fast map with turn-by-turn navigation and routes around the world and is available completely free of charge. Among the advantages of the software:

Internet Marketing

Internet Marketing

Every website needs a server and a domain name. The wide range of hosters offering such services confuses the user, and as a result, he may not choose the best option. Often, the ratings of Ukrainian hosting providers presented on various sites are based on user reviews. This is a good criterion, but it should be remembered that they may not always correspond to reality. TrendLine company offers a rating of hosting services in Ukraine based on the main criteria for the comfort of their operation - Up-Time server, speed and quality of technical support. We won't forget about price, disk space and other features either.

Hosting in Ukraine - overview of key selection parameters

Buying hosting is a goal that every website owner sets for himself and immediately begins to look for a bona fide hoster. Its task is to store the site on servers and provide constant access to it. If the quality of services is low, the Internet resource will work slowly, and search engines will have difficulty indexing it. To choose a good hosting in Ukraine, let’s take a closer look at the technical aspects of compiling our TOP 10.

1. Up-Time servers are the main indicator of quality and reliability. Demonstrates the ratio of server availability and unavailability time. It is measured as a percentage, and the closer the parameter is to 100%, the better Ukrainian hosting you use. Frequent downtime of data centers will worsen the indexing of the site in search engines. The cause of error 5.Х.Х. There may be outdated equipment, poor bandwidth, unstable software and other factors. As a result, the search robot, after receiving a response in the form of an erroneous code, will most likely exclude the Internet resource from ranking and will not show it in the search results.
2. Performance - consists of three elements: reading MySql databases, processing PHP and channel throughput. The higher the efficiency of the first two procedures, the more stable and high-quality hosting will work in Ukraine. The distance of the servers from your location does not have the best effect on the response of the site.
3. Support service work. Responsive and qualified support creates a pleasant impression and ensures high-quality use of the resource. The best hosting companies in Ukraine have prompt and competent technical support, because the faster the client’s problem is resolved, the better it will affect the reputation. We recommend working with official hosters, not resellers. The latter sell services, but often have no idea about the nuances of the work.

What other parameters does reliable hosting have?

Options such as PHP, MySql and FTP are provided by almost every service provider. This, as a rule, is enough to create a simple business card website, but if you need to launch a more serious Internet resource, for example, a portal or online store, focus on the following technical parameters:

• support and pricing for C, CGI and Perl options;
• disk and traffic volume;
• access speed;
• the ability to generate subdomains;
• mail functionality and number of email accounts.

Rating of top 10 hostings in Ukraine

Now we move on to compiling our list of the ten best providers based on the cost of hosting in Ukraine and the quality of the services they provide.

1. Ukraine,
2. Ukrnames,
3. S-Host,
4. HostIQ
5. CityHost,
6. Hostlife,
7. Parkovka,
8. AvaHost
9. HostPro
10. Mirohost.

The purpose of the review is to help you choose the best hosting in Ukraine that would satisfy you in terms of price, quality of technical support and speed of data centers.

Begin!

1. Ukraine

The largest domestic provider, operating since 2004, topped the rating of paid hosting services. It is distinguished by a rational approach to the quality of services and configuration of server equipment. I am pleased with the high qualifications of the technical support.

In general, over these 14 years, Ukraine has gained a reputation as a reliable hoster, as evidenced by the size of the company, the number of connected users and the introduction of modern technologies that improve the quality of services, in particular, increase the loading speed of servers.

Data centers are dispersed in our country, as well as in America, France, and Germany. We also note that high-quality and fast hosting “Ukraine” can officially register domain names.

Characteristics:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.94%.
• Technical support: 8.8/10.
• Response speed: 99.92%.
• Troubleshooting: 40-110 minutes.

The hoster offers 4 tariff plans starting from 39.22 hryvnia per month of use. Not the cheapest option, but if you order services here, you will immediately understand why you are paying such a sum. Space for websites – from 1 GB on SSD drives, the number of databases is unlimited. You can also test the proposed functionality for 5 days.

If you need reliable paid hosting, feel free to connect to the services of the winner of our rating.

2.Ukrnames

Kharkov provider Internet Name Center LLC with reliable server equipment is maximally customer-oriented. Price of services – from 63 UAH. per month, however, there are more tariff plans - 6 and disk space - from 2 GB, including on SSD.

The test period is significantly longer than our flagship - a whole month versus 5 days. Thus, if your project is very large-scale and very demanding on the speed of data centers, Ukrnames hosting will be an excellent solution.

It is worth noting that this hoster, like the winner of our review, officially has the right to register domains in zone.ua and is accredited by ICANN.

Technical properties:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.91%.
• Technical support: 8.8/10.
• Response speed: 99.9%.
• Troubleshooting: 40-80 minutes.

For owners of Internet resources who are interested in good hosting, we recommend Ukrnames. There is qualified and prompt technical support, stable servers and modern equipment, variability of tariff packages, decent Up-Time and performance parameters.

3. S-Host

The bronze medalist of our TOP is SKHOST, which has server equipment in Germany and France.

Today this is a fairly high-quality hosting in Ukraine, so it is easily among the top three.

Since SKHOST does not have data centers in our country, the response value for local users is slightly higher, but not critical - up to 50 m/s. If your site has very high hosting requirements, you should take this into account. However, for the vast majority of projects, ordering hosting from S-Host will be an excellent solution. A trial period of 7 days will help you make your final decision.

Characteristics:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.94%.
• Technical support: 9.8/10.
• Response speed: 99.96%.
• Troubleshooting: 20-40 minutes.

S-Host offers from 5 GB of space and does not limit the number of databases. Tariff – from 37 hryvnia per month, a total of 5 packages are offered. However, the lack of servers in Ukraine did not allow the company to become the flagship of our TOP 10.

4. HostIQ

Over the years, it has repeatedly topped the rating of the best hosting in Ukraine. In terms of quality of services, it is in no way inferior to the top three and offers many more tariff plans, as many as 30. The company has developed special packages for all popular CMS: WordPress, OpenCart, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, Joomla. There are also standard and VIP tariffs, “cloud” and foreign data centers are offered.

HostIQ took 4th place in our review of Ukrainian hosting services. Tariffs here start from 133.28 hryvnia per month. Users are provided with a 30-day trial for review. However, the number of databases in some packages is limited: 10, 50 and 100. This hoster offers space for websites starting from 10 GB.

Technical properties:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.92%.
• Technical support: 9.9/10.
• Response speed: 99.97%.
• Troubleshooting: 25-60 minutes.

Servers are always available and have a high response speed, and service support promptly responds to requests even during peak hours. HostIQ is a serious, responsible provider, so if you need high-quality paid hosting with a wide range of pricing packages to choose from, pay attention to it.

5. CityHost

This company, like the leader of the review, has also been on the market for a long time and is accredited to register domains. Therefore, if you are interested in reliable, inexpensive hosting, it makes sense to pay attention to CityHost.

The price of tariffs here is from 29.70 UAH. per month, a total of 6 options are offered. The cheapest package is very limited - 0.5 GB of disk space, 3 databases and 10 emails.

The remaining 5 offer extensive capabilities and cost from 58.08 hryvnia. In any case, it is cheaper than what is offered by the providers who top the hosting rating in Ukraine.

Characteristics:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.95%.
• Technical support: 9.6/10.
• Response speed: 99.96%.
• Troubleshooting: 35-75 minutes.

CityHost data centers are located in Ukraine and Germany. The company uses SSD drives to host websites and offers a trial period of 10 days. Ordering hosting here is a good solution for hosting personal blogs, information sites, business cards, and small online stores.

6.HostLife

Large provider operating for more than 10 years. If you monitor Ukrainian hosting in terms of free space on servers, it is the leader, offering unlimited space for hosting websites. The functionality testing period is 7 days.

However, on the other hand, HostLife set a very high price - 52.36 hryvnia without using SSD media. As a result, when compiling our review of hosting providers, we placed this company in the middle - in 6th place.

Technical properties:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.95%.
• Technical support: 9/10.
• Response speed: 99.94%.
• Troubleshooting: 35-70 minutes.

HostLife offers 7 tariffs, including the Premium group and for CMS. It is worth noting that even with the basic package, if, of course, 1 site is enough for you, a very extensive functionality is offered.

7. Parking

A young provider focusing on profitable hosting. Offers 4 tariff plans, while the basic package of services costs only 35 UAH. per month.

Although you won’t be able to speed up much here - the disk space is only 500 MB, and you can host 1 site with 1 database here.

A positive point is the fact that Parkovka offers placement of resources on SSD media.

Characteristics:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.96%.
• Technical support: 9/10.
• Response speed: 99.95%.
• Troubleshooting: 40-70 minutes.

This hoster has good stability and response speed of data centers, so the functionality it provides is quite sufficient for hosting business cards, online stores and even large portals.

Technical support works promptly, is highly qualified and is focused on solving customer problems as efficiently as possible. Therefore, if you are interested in high-quality and affordable Ukrainian hosting, pay attention to the Parkovka provider.

8.AvaHost

An international hoster with a branch and servers in our country. AvaHost data centers are also located in Europe, America and Russia.

Among all the participants included in our hosting review, this company offers perhaps the largest amount of disk space for a website - from 10 GB and does not limit the placement of databases.

AvaHost has 8 tariff plans, 4 of which are focused on the WordPress CMS. The price of services is high – from 69 UAH. per month of use.

On the other hand, AvaHost is a large hoster with high quality services, excellent technical support and a positive reputation, this also needs to be taken into account.

Technical properties:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.95%.
• Technical support: 9.2/10.
• Response speed: 99.97%.
• Troubleshooting: 35-60 minutes.

If you are choosing hosting in Ukraine in terms of reliability and stability of operation, AvaHost will not let you down. The supplier is so confident in the high level of its services that it does not even offer a trial period. Although its absence is ambiguous, because every user, before paying for a service, wants to understand what he plans to invest in. Therefore, when compiling our top Ukrainian hosting services, we ranked AvaHost in 8th place.

9.HostPro

While monitoring hosting services, we reviewed many providers offering services that are suitable for both large businesses and individuals.

HostPro in this aspect provides powerful functionality, which is expensive and will be redundant for some resources.

The simplest tariff plan is 71.56 hryvnia per month. However, if you pay annually, the cost turns out to be very pleasant - 54.72 UAH. in 30 days.

In this we also see a focus on large projects, the owners of which are ready to buy a subscription for 12 months.

Characteristics:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.90%.
• Technical support: 9.8/10.
• Response speed: 99.94%.
• Troubleshooting: 30-70 minutes.

The offer of this hosting company includes 9 tariff packages, including for Linux, with space for Internet resources - from 5 GB on SSD media. The test period is short - 5 days. We also note the high-quality technical support that promptly solves customer problems.

10. Mirohost

Our TOP 10 review of hosting in Ukraine ends with Mirohost, another provider whose services are more suitable for the business segment than for individuals. Its advantage is the largest high-tech powerful data center with Intel Xeon-based equipment with a bandwidth of 180 Gbit/s and daily backup.

Mirohost services are not cheap - from 86.67 hryvnia for 30 days.

Technical properties:

• Up-Time of data centers: 99.97%.
• Technical support: 9.3/10.
• Response speed: 99.98%.
• Troubleshooting: 45-70 minutes.

The company does not offer a trial period. SSD disks with an available capacity of 3 GB or more are used for storage.

Mirohost has developed 3 tariff plans for clients with the ability to install from 1 to 5 sites with 1-10 databases. Due to its business focus and related aspects, this supplier completes our rating of hosters.
