HERE ARE THE MAJOR FEATURES THAT YOU WILL GET WITH SOME OF THE Low Cost WEB HOSTING PLANS.
Searching around for a web hosting company? Here's what to keep in mind.
• Response Time of Server
• Provided Bandwidth.
• Provided disk space.
• Used Hardware and Server Technology.
• Custom pop e-mail accounts.
• Hosting company's support services.
Response Time of the server refers to the number of sites you can access from server at a time; if access numbers of sites on server are limited then response time of server will be slow. Second thing should be keep in mind is the hardware used and the availability of possible bandwidth. In the midst of your search, you'll probably run across hosting services that offer 'unlimited bandwidth'. This is simply not true, the term 'bandwidth' refers to the amount of information that is past between the hosting servers and the end user. Most hosting companies are connected to high-speed Internet backbones (UUNET, Sprint, AT&T, etc) which charge the hosting company based on their monthly bandwidth from customers. Be sure to read the terms of service very carefully with each hosting company that you are considering, especially if they advertise 'free' or 'unlimited' site features.
If you have purchased your own domain name, be sure the hosting company supports them (mostly do), and be sure they give you at least 1 e-mail address (you@yourdomain.com). A lot of companies offer 10 or more custom pop e-mail accounts with unlimited forwarding address at little or no additional cost, which is a nice feature.
In general, if you run a business on the web, you may not want to take that kind of risk. Bad response time, low bandwidth and limited support services etc, Very often, when people ask me about web hosting, they want to ask if I know any cheap but good web host. I only can recommend you should pay very careful attention to hosting company because cheap web hosting industry is very competitive, go to the forums and chats, ask people and then I'm sure you'll be able to choose the right cheap web hosting company.
