Most people who create their own website do not understanding reliable website hosting. They find the bargain website hosting plan for $2.99/month! Wow! That’s an amazing price. What a steal verses Alex Sanfilippo‘s $15.00/month hosting package.
When I first started blogging in 2012, I signed up for bargain website hosting instead of reliable website hosting. It was cheap, and I didn’t want to over-commit. This ended up becoming a nightmare for me! Not long after I launched my website. I had a lot of visitors and traction. As a result of using bargain website hosting, I received many complaints on slow load times. People also informing me that my website was down. If I could go back, I would have started with reliable website hosting.
There is a dramatic difference between bargain website hosting and reliable website hosting.
I always like to use the example of reliable website hosting being like the foundation of a house. Your website (house) sits on top of your hosting (foundation). If you end up using bargain website hosting, you’ll end up potentially having a website crash. In today’s world, this isn’t super common, but it does still happen.
You must also take into consideration website speeds. Bargain hosting is often on large shared servers. That’s how they get the price so low. But, because you are on a shared server, all the websites on the same server are splitting resources. If multiple websites start gaining traction and experiencing a spike in traffic, performance is going begin lacking for all websites on that same server.
With reliable website hosting you are paying more, but sharing the resources with less websites or even no other website. This ensures that your website is going to run at top performance all the time.
