Finding A Good Cheap Host Is Not Easy
Finding a good cheapest reseller hosting is not easy. A search on the web will reveal a mass of hosting providers all claiming to provide a good service but looking very similar.
You may also find numerous hosting review sites but even they cannot cover the whole market and some may not be as independent as they appear.
Forums are another place you can look for feedback on hosting providers as are sites like hostjury.com which are dedicated to this subject. To find a cheap website host that offers a good service you will need to spend lots of time on research. You should look at the following:
How long has the company been in business? The less time the greater the risk in using this company. The thing you want to avoid is your hosting company going out of business and leaving your website offline.
Size of the company? Smaller companies are probably
cheapest web hosting i.e. they don’t have their own technical infrastructure but are selling someone else’s under their name (they have the effect of providing support). A reseller may well provide a good value/service but clearly represents a greater risk.
How many comments can you find good and bad? It is reasonable to expect that the number of comments will relate to the size of the company so you should see more relating to the large companies. It is normal behaviour for users to complain more often than offer praise so expect to see unfavourable feedback about all companies, lack of this is suspicious. Also beware of bland comments that say nothing more than “… xxx company is great” real users usually say why.
Test the support. You may see posts on this but you could try asking a question before signing up and see how quickly the company responds and whether they try to help, or just send a standard reply.
Does the company offer money-back-guarantee or a free one month trial? If not you will need to think carefully before paying yearly (or whatever term is required) in advance.
If you would like to get your website up and running, and undertaking through research to discover a cheap website host is too time consuming, the best option is to get one of the major suppliers. These companies do have some good offers and whilst it isn’t really the cheapest option it will likely be the safest. Your hosting company will a stable reputable company and your website will be online.
It is surprisingly easy to set-up in business as a website christian web hosting reseller. The most typical model is where you sign up as a reseller with a large hosting company and for a monthly fee (the wholesale price) get a hosting package which you resell to multiple individual users for a fee you determine (the retail price). You do not have to worry about the technical aspects of providing the service, the areas that require work from you are marketing and sales, customer support and billing (although you may get facilities that will help you do this).
