subject: Is shared hosting suitable for you? [print this page] If you're looking to get online with your business, your hobbies or just want to share something with the whole world, then yes shared hosting is more than likely for you. I recommend to all of my clients who are looking to expand their business to go online, you can reach millions of potential customers increasing your profits dramatically.
Sound good to you? Then keep reading. When choosing shared hosting there is a couple of points that you will want to take into account, and in this article I will outline them for you.
Reliability - build trust with your visitors and you will become an online entity to be reckoned with, if you don't have a reliable host you wont have this trust and you will never succeed online.
Speed - when a visitor arrives at your site, they want information and they want it fast, if your site doesn't load quickly you can kiss the visitor goodbye. To avoid this problem find a fast host that will allow your website to load the instant it's clicked on.
Cost - shared hosting is very affordable, so the price of a web host isn't much of a problem, however it's the new hosts that pop up every now and again offering hosting for a couple of cents, this offer may sound good but usually these companies go bust within a couple of weeks which means you will be back to square one.
You maybe asking your self at this point, how do I know if a host is reliable, fast and generally any good, well that's a good question. I would highly recommend a web host comparison site
