Bound To Your Old Expensive Web Host by Fear?
(Page 1 of 5 )
You're not alone! Many people are bound to the old web host they've used for years because they're afraid of the hassle of switching.Customers will pay rates three or four or even ten times greater than what they have to, just because they're terrified that switching will be too complicated or that they'll end up losing their site altogether.
New customers just coming online and setting up sites for the first time may automatically assume that expensive prices and brand names, such as Yahoo or MSN or MasterCard automatically mean better service.
Think again!
While you should never base your hosting choice on price alone, you should certainly make your return on investment a priority. You can easily find plenty of space for your site with all of the features you need (and many you don't) for less than $10 per month – with discounts for paying quarterly or yearly.
So what should you look for when choosing a hosting company?
SPACE: Most websites use less than 100 megs of space. Unless you're planning to build a large community or upload entire albums of photos, 50 - 100 megs is probably plenty. Start there - you should be able to upgrade at no additional charge should you need more.
