One of the most common problems with cheap web hosting is the webserver. It is really important, crucial for your business that you get a reliable server, and an excellent support.

The problem is that if your site goes down, your visitors will not be happy, and you may lose them, because they remember the last time they visited your site… It was down. It’s not really profesional.
Also when you launch a product, or you have a teleconference… What if your server crash? Can you imagine the hassle for you and your business!

One of the best way to evaluate a cheap web hosting, and check the reliability of the servers is to read the Faq on the site?

I’ll tell you more about how to test the reliability of a cheap web hosting in the coming post.

Most cheap web hosting companies will not give you enough bandwith to run your business. If you exceed the bandwith limit allowed, you will have to pay for it!

Like when you take the plane, you have to pay if you want to be allowed to fly with more kg.. A Cheap web hosting provider will give you more troubles in the long run than your one time flight though. You are married with your web hosting company.

The best thing for you in web hosting will be unlimited bandwith allowance, but it will not often be the case with most of the inexpensive web hosting provider.

Almost all the web hosting companies give you an amount of bandwith every month.

If you can get 500 GB of bandwith every month, it’s really good to start. I started like that, and I was really satisfied because when you start you don’t have thousand of visitors a day…

You need to estimate your growth needs. Believe me, this is a crucial step BEFORE choosing your web hosting company.

You want to be sure that this web host will be able to follow you and sever you as your business is groing. If you don’t chose wisely, it will have big consequences in the future.

I remember reading about a well known blogger with thousands of pages indexed in Google, Msn and yahoo, and making a lot of profits…

He wanted to host his free (Blogger) blog  on his own server, and he did that. The problem was he did a big mistake, and almost all his pages were de-indexed from Google, except a few hundreds of pages.

So what? He lost thousands of readers just because he started with a free web hosting for his blog!

Do you see what I mean now? So wait before you try to save money with your cheap web hosting..

Cheap web hosting can be harmful to your business if you choose it blindly. you must be very careful.

We already saw that free or cheap web hosting services are not always reliable. you may experience bouts or server downtimes, and also you will have serious limitations like:

• Storage
• number of email addresses
• FTP facility to upload your site
• No MySql Database
• ANd a lot of headaches…

You must see in advance if your cheap web hosting solution will enable you to get:

• e-commerce and storefronts
• wireless capability
• blogs
• forums
• chats
• interactive help
• and anything you wish to add to your website

When you are starting, you don’t even know the importance of these different features,but I guarantee you that you will regret if you don’t take care from the very beginning.

So here we go again, a cheap web hosting without a lot of features will do well for someone who just want to share his webpage with other members of familly or friends.

If the page is down, you just say to them to come and check later, and it will not make you any harm.

I suggest you, if you want to share your stories, hobbies and adventures with others, to set up a blog. I really like blogs. This is the reason why I chose to spread the word about my web hosting adventures on this blog.

A blog is not different than a website. You can say what you want, but for me, it is just a site that you can ypdate more often, because it’s easier.

With your blog, you will not care about cheap web hosting, expensive ones, because you can have it for free! However, we saw earlier that there is some restrictions.

With blogger you can set up yor blog in less than 3 minutes.. but you don’t have total control on it.

Cheap web hosting serie to be continued…

There is so many web hosting companies on the web, that it is really difficult to chose the right one..

Newbies and new comers to the web can’t make the difference, and the future of their business, the sales and traffic you need… depend on your web hosting.

What will you do if your website is not available several minutes or several hours a day? This is the inconvenient with those cheap web hosting.

They are cheap OK, but do you want to run an Internet Business, or..

There is a lot of features that you need with a web hosting, and with the cheaper web hosting package, most of the time you will not find those essential tools.

You must know that your web host will charge you a monthly fee that ranges from $10 or $20, up to $50 per month.

Plan to pay between $100 and $300 for a serious web hosting.

Next, we will see what to do if you don’t want to make business on the Internet.

Is a cheap web hosting right for you?

We stopped with the Bravenet ads, and I decide to search for a reliable web hosting, because I read that cheap and free web hosting was definitively not a solution for your Internet business.

I was surfing at the research of my super reliable web hosting… But I didn’t even know what is the meaning of bandwith although I was seing this word everywhere.

I started to send email to the different web hosting companies. I remember that I found Homestead, and vodahost (or Blue Voda). I emailed them, and asked some questions.

They did answer fast, but I felt that it wasn’t for me. Simple intuition, that I like to follow. I felt that those service were more for everybody. I didn’t want an everybody web hosting, but a good one, with good support.

When I think about it now, support is the number one thing I will be recommending  for a newbie. When you don’t know what is the meaning of DNS, FTP… Believe me, You absolutely need a strong and excellent support almost 24/7.
