You might be one of those company owners who are in a quest for an inexpensive web hosting service. Finding one is not really that daunting with several web hosts offering services at rock-bottom prices. Yet because of your excitement in finding a cheap web host, you may later find yourself paying for bad service. Thus, the challenge actually lies in finding an inexpensive web hosting service which provides great service.

Factors to consider in finding a best cheap web host

• Support – It is definitely important that the web host gives a reliable support—one that is fast yet truly answers your problem. You may test your prospective web hosts' service before signing up for an account with any of them. You can do this by asking a few questions. The amount of time they take before getting back to you may not exactly reflect the service they would be providing you once you tie up with them, but this says something about their consistency and reliability.

• Disk space – The disk space is simply the amount of space your account occupies in the web host's server. You may need just a few MB for your files, but it is wise to choose a web host which offers much more. Go for the one which can offer up to more than a hundred MB of storage since this gives you an idea as to whether they are overloading their physical server or not. Some web hosts, knowing that their clients only require a small amount of disk space, abuses this advantage by hosting too many sites in just one server.

• Bandwidth – Bandwidth or data transfer refers to the maximum amount of data that can be passed in a given period of time. Just as you would want to have a great amount of disk space, you have to make sure that your web host offers a greater bandwidth than what your website needs. This assures you that they do not host too many websites in their network.

• Backup – Another indicator of a good web host is if they make a backup of client's files. Most inexpensive web hosting services do not have this feature, so you must go with the one that does. This way, you are guaranteed that your files are safe in case their hard drive breaks down.

• Extra features – Most affordable web hosting services offer extra features like email accounts or databases which come for free. But there are some extra features which are included in your bill. The key here is to determine those features which your website really needs. This way, if you could remove unnecessary features from your bill by negotiating with your web host, then you get to save money.

• Money back – When you find a cheap hosting service which offers a money back guarantee, chances are, that web host has a good quality. This agreement gives you the idea that the company is confident about the quality of their service.
