Cheap Web Hosting - Quality Hosting?

By: Alex Corman

Why is cheap web hosting so cheap? What are the sacrifices involved with getting this cheap price? Almost all cheap web hosting options are shared webhosting. This unavoidably means that you are sacrificing a number of options in terms of speed, security and reliability.

Users who purchase cheap, shared hosting packages are lumped together on the same server. This means that when one of the other users does anything with their hosting that interrupts the operation of your server such as creating a CRON job incorrectly that continues to pull resources away from the server, your site(s) and everyone elses will be effected by it. This may mean that your websites could be down for an unknown amount of time because of the ignorance of just one user. Since there could be dozens of users sharing hosting on one server the odds are against you when it comes to possible crashes.

Sharing web hosting with a number of other users also means that your speed will be greatly diminished as you are sharing the overall bandwidth with every other user. If one of the sharing users hosts a high traffic site, and/or a website that hosts a lot of video or flash that takes a long time to load, your website will suffer as a result. If you had the intention of hosting a site like that yourself, you probably don't want to do it on shared web hosting.

If one of the users that shares your hosting has security flaws within their site there is a good chance that any potential damage that can be done will be done to the server itself, not any of that user's individual sites. This will cause your websites to suffer any crashes or limited bandwidth that may result.

Cheap web hosting is an alright option if your plan is to host several small, text based content sites and you don't stand to lose a lot of money from slow loading or downtimes. Just remember that cheap, shared webhosting is not always comparable to affordable web hosting.
