Cheap Webhosting Sacrifices

Cheap Webhosting Sacrifices - By: Carl Spender, Posted on: 2008-06-19

What is it about cheap web hosting that makes it so cheap? What sacrifice do you make to get a lower price Almost all cheap webhosting packages are shared webhosting. This unavoidably means that you will sacrifice a number of options when it comes to reliability, security and speed.

Multiple cheap, shared hosting packages share the same server. Therefore when one of the other users does anything with their hosting that modifies the operation of your server like running an incorrectly programmed CRON job that continues to pull resources away from the server, your site(s) will be affected by it. This may mean that your websites could be offline for an unknown amount of time due to the negligence of a single 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 other users hosts a high traffic site, or a website that hosts a lot of video or flash that takes 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 chance that any damage that can be done will be done to the server itself, not any of their sites alone. This will cause your websites to suffer any crashes or limited bandwidth that may result.

Cheap web hosting is an alright option if your intention is to host small content based 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 webhosting.
