Affordable web hosting is certainly for you if you have built your first website and now wonder how do I get it hosted? Or if the monthly web hosting fees are draining your pocket.

Shared Web Hosting UK is basically a slew of websites on one server, sharing the same resources. PRO: It's cost-effective and ideal for beginners. CON: Because you are sharing with so many neighbors (other people), if someone screws up, or get a big traffic spike, your sight could go down with there's. However, I do recommend this if you're just starting out. As long as you pick a solid host, you will be fine. NOTE: As your site start to pay for itself, you'd want to upgrade to a Virtual Private Server, or a VPS. With a VPS, you can start low and gradually scale up as needed. In other words, when your site starts to make progress, let's say about 80,000 page views a month, that's when you'd want to upgrade to a VPS.

Then you should also go elsewhere. All good hosts should provide a Shared Web Hosting UK where you can check the speed of the server. If they don't, ask them to provide one.

Word of mouth is a great way to hear as to who is a good host and a bad host. If you know somebody in a similar position to you, ask their opinion from their experience. There are plenty of good honest web host companies out there but like every market there are a few bad apples. Ask the questions and make sure you are confident with the replies before you join up.

As an added benefit, there are companies that not only do they provide you with Affordable Web Hosting but they also give you a ton of extras like adding blogs, shopping carts, MySQL databases and all that other stuff you could need.

If you have time, search for comments by users of the provider on internet forums or elsewhere online. Or go for the larger more established hosting companies who have built a trusted reputation. Most good hosting companies have multiple server data and power backups. A few also promised 100% and they do that by guaranteeing refund of fees in the eventuality that any downtime might happen.

You now have the three main options of affordable web hosting at your fingertips. Decide on which one to go for. It really depends on you. Whatever the case may be, just make sure that you are careful in your selection. The best option is to seek advice from a web hosting expert that won't even collect a single cent from you.
