When looking for a web host, one of the first things people consider is the cost. Now, web hosting costs are often minimal and are often inclusive of domain names, bandwidth, and the like. For a few dollars, web hosts will place your website on their servers, giving people worldwide a chance to see it on the web.

Most people will recommend that you choose a web host with care, paying particular attention to how the provider meets each of your individual needs. Do you expect high traffic on your site? Then you may want to choose a more expensive plan, one with a higher bandwidth and better technical support. Usually, having a domain that has a higher web hosting cost will also have better perks, especially if you seek to market something on your site or have a graphic-heavy site.

Low cost domains, on the other hand, may not necessarily service all your needs. In an effort to get more features for your money, you may be compromising your website. Make sure to read the fine print when you encounter a host that promises a web hosting cost that seems too good to be true - more likely than not, it is. Be aware that you get what you pay for, and if a provider's hosting prices are at rock bottom, chances are that their services may leave much to be desired. For example, a budget host will probably have very little support available for you, and cause you no end of frustration when you encounter problems with their hosting.

However, not all websites need an expensive web host. Beginner's blogs, for example, do not usually start out with high traffic, and can be hosted on free or minimal cost hosts. The same goes for simple personal websites, such as a family newsletter or a page dedicated to your pet.
