Choosing a Cheap Web Hosting Plan
When searching for a cheap web hosting plan, there are other factors to consider besides the price, data transfer and disk space. Some of them include site uptime, money back guarantee, databases, control panels and ecommerce solutions.
Site uptime is very important when choosing a cheap web hosting plan. You want your visitors to be able to view your site and not get a 404 page not found error message when visiting your website. Look for a web host that guarantees 99% uptime or above.
A money back guarantee is other thing to look for when searching for a cheap web hosting plan. A money back guarantee is an agreement offered by a web hosting company to refund your money within a certain period of time if you are not satisfied with their services. It is usually 30 days or more.
The use of a database is very important when deciding on a cheap web hosting plan if you have a script what requires one. MySQL is one type of database. It is useful for the storage of data that is required for interaction with web visitors. Rather than storing data in a flat file as CGI or Perl normally does, MySQL stores the data within a multi-thread, multi-user database.
You might want to choose a cheap web hosting plan that offers a control panel if you want the ability to manage domains/subdomains, email accounts, FTP accounts, databases, domain parking/pointing, and create backups of your entire website.
Also, if you are planning on selling services or products from your website, make sure the cheap web hosting plan you choose offers some type of ecommerce solution such as a shopping cart like osCommerce, Agora or MIVA Merchant.
