Should I pay $50/month for web hosting?

Filed under: Webhosting Help by admin | 9 Comments »

An idiot asked:

Hi, I am running an eCommerce business that requires a regular web server with PHP and databases. I know most of the popular hosts out there charge $4/month for stuff like this.

But this particular company (not going to mention the name or else Yahoo might think this is an advertisement), says that they have more than 500,000 websites hosted, is specialized in business web hosting, guarantees 100% uptime, has 24/7 customer support, and basically says that they are “premium business hosting” and their pitch is that for $50/month you get the best quality hosting for your business (compared to $4-8/month).

This is NOT dedicated server hosting. Just regular web hosting, but they have everything.

Is this worth it? Would you do it for your business?

$50 dollars is afr too much for just shared hosting. That sounds like pricing from 1998. With $50 dollars you can get yourself a pretty decent VPS. Which is a virtual private server, it functions exactly like dedicated theoretically but physically you may be sharing the box it resides on with a couple of other people or more depending on how stingy the webhost is.

Absolutely not. That is way too expensive. I pay $8.99 a month for premium hosting also with 100% uptime and 24/7 support. The company charges $19.99 for dedicated server.

No, it’s not worth it for regular shared hosting.

It should be at least VPS hosting for that price.

All of these hosts have more than 500,000 websites hosted and are on average over 10 years in business, but they all cost less than $10/month.

If you need something better than shared hosting (for example if you have hundreds of thousands of monthly customers you should definitely get something better) I recommend to check Media Temple’s or Slicehost’s VPS plans.

Well , there is hostgator , google host yahoo and godaddy.
But the most recommended and best web host so far is ; Network Juice.

They now offer plans starting around $0.99 for 5GB of diskspace plus everything else unlimited. Plus they’ve manage to keep up 99% Uptime.

They have all features such as Cpanel , Fantastico , Cron Job , Apache ,Unlimited Dadabase , ftp accounts and much more.

There are other affordable plans as well in Networkjuicehosting.com.

Hostgator.com is also a great host , but there Uptime time is not so good. Also , customer service is very poor.

Google.com not so sure , But i know there’s lots of files they do not support , no Cpanel , and i don’t know how come , but they have been receiving downtimes lately in their host servers.

yahoo , let me just say it’s the worst web host ever

To buy a domain , the most recommended site is godaddy , but not for it’s hosting!! I Tell you !!!.

For a Great Affordable web host with maximum features , the most recommended host is .

That’s all I got to say mate
