Cheap Webhosting Versus Affordable Webhosting

Why is cheap web hosting so cheap? What sacrifice do you make to get a lower price Nearly all cheap webhosting packages are shared webhosting. This fact alone means that you are sacrificing a number of options when it comes to reliability, speed and security.

Multiple cheap, shared hosting packages share the same server. Therefore if any of the other users does anything with their hosting that modifies the operation of the server such as creating an incorrectly programmed CRON job that continuously pulls resources away from the server, your site(s) and everyone elses will be effected by it. This may mean that your website could be offline for an unknown amount of time because of the negligence 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.

Shared web hosting also means shared bandwidth to the server. If one of the sharing users hosts a high traffic site, or a website that hosts a lot of flash or video that take a long time to load, your website will suffer the consequences. If it was your intention to host one of these sites yourself, you may not 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 damage that may be done will be done to the server itself, not that user's sites or account alone. The resulting crashes and limited bandwidth will be suffered by your site(s) as well.

Cheap web hosting is an okay 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 web hosting is not always comparable to affordable webhosting.
