Web Hosting Costs

Costs for hosting services can vary from as little as $1.00 per month all the way into the $100's and thousands of dollars per month. It just really depends upon the type of hosting you need, what you will be hosting and how much resource you will need to push your information out to the general public.

Other factors include the quality of your hosting provider. If you are going to host with Bob's Web Hosting service and Bob keeps his servers in his basement and is charging you $1.00 per month, well, you are getting what you pay for. On the other hand, if you are hosting with a World-Class datacenter that provides you 100% uptime guarantee, yes there are some that give his guarantee, and you are able to speak with a level 3 tech anytime of the day, then again, you are getting what you pay for.

All too often I hear people tell me that my hosting rates are too expensive and that they can get hosting for $3.99 at GoPappa or one of those other providers. When they go with those providers, they sometimes don't realize that when they need help they won't get a very knowledgeable person on the phone, if they login to their hosting control panel, they may need a PhD to figure out how to navigate through to perform the tasks they need to perform. Have you tried some of these control panels with these budget hosting providers out there.

The advantage of going with better quality and sometimes a smaller hosting service is that you will get easier tools to use, better support options and more personalized treatment on the phone or via support ticket because you are more likely to speak with the same people all the time. Its all about relationships when you use a more quality, personalized hosting service.

So the next time you are thinking of going with an extreme budget host, stop and think is it worth the type of service you receive and is it worth risking the mission critical data that you have on your website which might cause you to lose revenue.
