Going for cheap web hosting, however, doesn't mean sacrificing quality--after all, what's the point of even having a website if the company you registered with could disappear at any moment, taking your website with it? If you want the best cheap low cost web hosting, learn exactly how to find it.
Step 1: Choose between free and commercial hosting. While there are definite advantages to cheap web hosting, free web hosting is cheaper than even the cheapest web hosting (at least in terms of cash). The non-monetary cost of free web hosting is that ads are usually required to be a part of your web page, your domain name is not completely customizable and is fixed with the company you register with, features are limited, you may be restricted to the host's website builder and templates, and bandwidth and file size may be less than you need. If you buy cheap low cost web hosting, all of these problems vanish.
Step 2: Search the internet--the simplest step in finding cheap low cost web hosting. Target input from forums by adding the word "forum" after your search. Browse the results and soak up the info.
Step 3: Check out listings of hosts that offer the best cheap web hosting such as (link and subsequent links to sites in Resources section), b2evolution's Low Cost Hosting section, and thewebhostinghero.com's Cheap Web Hosting Companies section.
Step 4: After finding a potential cheap low cost web hosting company, perform an internet search on the host's name followed by the word "review" or phrase "customer review." Compare reviews from multiple sites so you get the best picture of what that host is about.
Step 5: Get the features you want. With so many features to consider, the best way to know what features you want is to compare the features of several hosting plans side by side. If one plan has something the other doesn't, look into what that features is and if it's worth it.
Step 6: Buy the right length plan. Cheap low cost web hosting plans are usually offered in periods of one month, six months, one year, and two years. The longer the plan is that you choose, the better the deal. Keep in mind, however, that once you choose a web host, you'll be stuck with it for whatever length of time you paid for.
Tip: If you enter a site, make plans to buy, and then get distracted and put off the buying until some other day--you might find the price has increased the next time you visit. To get the price back to what it was, search the internet for something like "top 10 web hosts," and click through another website to get to the host that you want to buy from. If you clicked through the right website, your discount should be back.
