Finding a good host has become a tricky business of late. It is primarily due to the vast number of companies that have sprouted in the past few years. Finding a good host does not involve just statistics about performance. Instead, it also involves finding the best affordable hosting company. This is because every penny you save from choosing affordable web hosting plans means that you will be having that little bit extra for investing in your website. Yes, you can opt for cheap shared hosting option. However, it has to be the most reliable option and it does not take long before you notice that it is very difficult to get both.

Shared Web Hosting is basically a slew of websites on one server, sharing the same resources. PRO: It's cost-effective and ideal for beginners. CON: Because you are sharing with so many neighbors (other people), if someone screws up, or get a big traffic spike, your sight could go down with there's. However, I do recommend this if you're just starting out. As long as you pick a solid host, you will be fine. NOTE: As your site start to pay for itself, you'd want to upgrade to a Virtual Private Server, or a VPS. With a VPS, you can start low and gradually scale up as needed. In other words, when your site starts to make progress, let's say about 80,000 page views a month, that's when you'd want to upgrade to a VPS.

If you are new to putting up websites, you might have very little idea about how much data storage space and bandwidth your site will need. First off, don't worry too much about this. Even the most professional people will tell you that themselves. Because your needs will grow as the number of visitors to your Shared Web Hosting UK increases, you will know all about it as you go along.

Popularity does not guarantee you a good service. Many popular host start of small and offering a good service but once their popularity grows they start to become complacent and their product suffers. It may not always be the case but it happens more than you'd believe. Also becoming popular nowadays can simply be a case of having the largest advertising budget.

But, how far can an Affordable Web Hosting go? For most web hosting providers, it still means good quality service, a great and flexible plan, and a guarantee that they will stand by.

Blue Hosting, established in 2002, offers unlimited space, emails and bandwidth at a low price tag of $3.95 per month apart from a host of other features.

There are MANY web hosting companies on the web fighting for your business. Make sure to research these companies. Although there are many GREAT companies out there that will make your experience extremely easy, there are also those that are saying what they know you want to hear in order to cheat you out of your money. You need a company that's going to offer you what you need, but will also be reliable at the end of the day.
