Ever heard the saying “Penny-wise and Dollar-foolish”?

Well bargain priced website hosting may just represent the perfect
example of watching a jar full of pennies while bucket loads of
dollars fly out the window!

When I launched my first website way back in the “dark ages” of 1997
I paid almost $150 a month in hosting and data transfer charges.

My web host watched how many files I uploaded like a hawk and always
seemed to send their hefty invoices earlier with each passing month.

I’m obviously not the only one who felt that way, because suddenly a
whole industry of “bargain” web hosts sprang up all over the web.

On the surface they all sound great, especially when you think you
can go from $150 a month down to $4.95 a month!

Five bucks a month sounds great, until you realize the amount of
data transfer (number of page views) and bandwidth (the amount of
data transfer your host allows in a 24 hour period) you get for that
low price severely limits your ability to do business.

This realization - along with a panic attack and a quick lesson in
how data transfer and bandwidth get calculated -usually comes at the
least convenient time.

When you exceed your limits, a bargain host usually just shuts you
down with no warning.

Most webmasters realize they’ve made a mistake by choosing a bargain
host when their site suddenly gets shut down in the middle of a big
promotion because of a traffic spike. Believe me, everything just
stops!

Here are a few bargain hosts that provide good service, but you
really need to really check the fine print for how much bandwidth
they allow.

www.FeaturePrice.com

For $24.95 a month you get to host up to six independent websites
with a single account. You get unlimited data storage, unlimited
email and a variety of other higher end services, but their
bandwidth policy seems hard to understand.

www.HostSave.com

Host Save is another low price hosting company that delivers a wide
range of services for only $6.95 per month. They recently raised
their allowable data transfer, but their policy on how much
bandwidth you can use at a given time seems non-existent.

www.DotEasy.com

For $25 DotEasy offers a domain name purchase along with one year’s
hosting. Sounds incredible until you read the fine print to discover
they limit you to 1 Gigabyte of data transfer a month. Not much data
once you start getting reasonable site traffic.

The moral here? Either be prepared to have your business shut down
mid-stream if you get successful, or pay a few extra bucks each
month to ensure you have enough bandwidth and data transfer.

At a minimum, specifically ask and read the fine print about the
host’s bandwidth and data transfer policies before it’s too late!
