Is Cheap Web Hositing Really Quality

Users who purchase cheap, shared hosting packages are lumped together on the same server. Therefore when any of the other users does anything with their hosting that interrupts the operation of your server like creating an incorrectly programmed CRON job that continues to pull resources away from the server, your site(s) and everyone elses will be affected by it. This could mean that your website(s) could be down for an unknown amount of time because of the negligence of just one user. Since there could be dozens of users sharing hosting on one server the odds are against you when it comes to possible crashes.

Shared web hosting also means shared bandwidth to the server. If a user hosts a high traffic site, and/or a website that hosts lots of video or flash that take a long time to load, your website will suffer the consequences. If you intend to create one of these sites yourself, you probably don’t want to do it on shared web hosting.

If one of the users that shares your hosting has security flaws within their account there is a chance that any damage that can be done will be done to the server itself, not any of their sites alone. This will cause your websites to suffer any crashes or limited bandwidth that may result.

Cheap web hosting is an okay option if your plan is to host several small, text based content sites and slow loading or downtimes will not affect your plans. Just remember that cheap web hosting is not always synonymous with affordable webhosting.
