Cheap hosting - pros and cons

Shared hosting (mass hosting, shared hosting) is the most popular way to host a website and create mail. It is easy to manage, does not require server administration skills, and is suitable for most sites.

At the start of creating a project, in order to save money, users often choose companies that provide cheap shared hosting. Cheap hosting does not mean poor quality, but we recommend paying attention to a number of key indicators before buying:

 

Hosting rates

On inexpensive hosting, the resources allocated in tariffs are minimal, for example, the ability to host only 1-2 domains, a small disk size (up to 1 GB), a limitation on the number of mailboxes, lack of access to server settings (php, cron, .htaccess) and installation options SSL certificate.

At first, these restrictions may seem insignificant, but if your project develops, then there will be a need for more flexible hosting and access to server settings. Often hosting providers in the budget segment do not provide access to advanced server functionality, and customers have to transfer sites to another hosting.

 

Test period

The ability to test hosting is an indicator that the hosting provider is responsible for their product, as well as a guarantee that you will get what you paid for. If there is no test period, and the company does not return funds for the purchased hosting, then you risk spending money on a service that is not suitable for your site.

Technical support

24-hour technical support by phone, mail and online consultant - the ability to resolve critical issues quickly. A professional hosting provider always offers its customers different channels to contact support.

Inexpensive hosting can be suitable for sites with consistently low traffic and simple structure. For owners of sites that make a profit (online stores, blogs with advertisements, business pages), it is important to stay online in all situations, manage server settings and be able to contact technical support at any time.
