| Cheap Web Hosting: Why You Need to Avoid Them |
|
If you’re considering a cheap web hosting plan that seems to offer too much for too little—unlimited bandwidth and storage space for as low as $1 a month—it’s probably too good to be true. The Internet is full of scam companies that accumulate as many customers as possible, then go bankrupt—taking your money with them.
|
|
|
Beware of sites that offer cheap web hosting if you carry their advertisements on your site. You usually can’t control the ad content—you may wind up displaying your competition’s advertising.

If you don’t expect much ecommerce on your site, try shared servers. You buy space on a server that you share with multiple other websites. This is not a good choice if you expect much ecommerce, as uptime tends not to be as dependable. But for companies just looking to establish an online presence, it’s not a bad way to begin.

Research the free or low-cost services your host provides. These are usually not as well advertised as bandwidth and tech support, but they can save you money in the long run. Among those typically offered are web design, SEO optimization, spam filters, email, shopping carts, live chat, traffic monitoring, web templates, and RSS feeds.
