Tips for Finding an Affordable Web Hosting Service

Blog provided by Electric Kitten

Every business needs a good web hosting provider, but not every web hosting service is right for your company’s budget. To get an affordable hosting service suited to your needs, here are a few things you should consider.

Priorities

As a company, is your priority performance or affordability? Shared hosting servers are clearly the most affordable web hosting option, but sharing server resources like RAM and bandwidth will be less efficient than allocating resources with a virtual private server (VPS).

Amount of Budget

You’ll also have to consider how much your company is willing to spend on web hosting servers. Dedicated hosting servers will give you the best performance, but they are the most expensive, so they may be out of the question for companies with smaller budgets. In this case, you may choose VPS servers as a middle ground, or you might buy a cheaper dedicated hosting package.

Level of Control

For shared hosting and VPS services, your hosting provider will be in charge of the software and hardware used for the servers. If you want full control of your server’s hardware and software, colocation allows you to rent a space that provides power and security, but it is more expensive than the other options. Dedicated servers are less expensive than colocation, but they are also quite flexible when it comes to customization.
