Cheap Web Hosting Services

Cheap is a good word! Unless it means low quality and that is why it is cheap. With cheap web hosting services this does not necessarily mean less quality, it just means that you need to look more carefully at what the hosting company offers you and if you can get all the resources you need from them. Sometimes cheap, can mean that you get the very basics, or that the hosting company, may be making money off you in some other way. Either way you should be checking this out in depth. If you are trying to save money and price is a factor we can help.

What can cause a company to offer cheap web hosting services?

1. There are so many web hosting companies and enormous competition between them. They all want your business. So many companies will offer a first year for really cheap or sometimes even free, just to get you to sign up.

However you need to make sure to read the fine print and check how much the next year will cost you, so that you don’t get a nasty surprise when you need to renew. Always be prepared!

2. Some companies that offer cheap or even free hosting services may be making their money from other things such as:

• Placing advertisements on your site
• Making you download programs that you don’t need that can make changes to your computer
• Use your data or your client’s data
• May not provide sufficient security
• May be resellers – in this case make sure they still provide you with everything you need.

In any of these cases you need to read the terms and conditions well to make sure you are not being taken for a ride.

3. Supplying very little disk space or bandwidth and security.

You must compare these companies to make sure you get the best and most out of your money that you spend. For cheap prices you can still get very good deals. There is no reason to settle for anything less.

4. Offering you a long term membership for low prices. Some companies may offer you to sign up for a couple of years in advance for low pricing. But if you are unhappy with the service and want to opt out this may cost you.

How to stay safe and get the most out of cheap web hosting services

1. On PickupHost we have collected the best of web hosting companies for you to compare. You won’t find here any companies that offer cheap web hosting services due to the downloading of Malware or bad security. Granted some are more secure than others.

You only need to check out the top ten in your category or subject and choose from these. However make sure to read the hosting reviews before signing up so that you can make a knowledgeable decision. See the next heading to learn about the reviews.

2. In case of any doubt – read the terms and conditions and privacy policies to make sure that you will not be used nor will your clients and client information be used for any reason other than making sure your site runs smoothly.
3. Check the customer and technical service before purchasing. If anything goes wrong or you have a loading issue you will want to know that the technical and customer service will be there for you at all times. You never know when you will need them.

You should be looking for 24 hour service, 7 days a week 365 days a year. They should also have at least 3 ways of contact, so if one way is down or blocked you will have the others. Examples of ways of contact: Phone, email, fax, chat, tickets etc.

4. Server location is another thing to take into consideration when choosing your cheap web hosting. Don’t take a company that has a server in a weird area far away from you, but rather choose a company that has hosting closer to your location.
5. Some low class companies know that you may cancel at any time during the first low priced year. In order to avoid their losses they may have hidden cancelation fees, so if you want to cancel you may have to cough up a lot of cash.
