Is Your Web Host Too Good to be True?

By: The Quantum Host, Fri Dec 9th, 2005 11:47:01 AM

class=MsoNormal>When searching for a hosting company, make certain to stay away from web hosting deals that seem too good to be true. If the package sounds too good to be true, chances are it is. There are several respectable web hosting companies out there working diligently to operate a good business.

You will come across the good and the bad in the web hosting industry. Luckily for every one poor hosting company there are many more companies that know what it takes to operate a hosting business. The other day I came across a link in the deals section for an unlimited web hosting plan. I have seen the word "Unlimited" used several times in web hosting marketing and it bothers me, along with a few more things.

First of all, the web pages on this site did not work properly. This should be a red flag that you might not want to do business with this company. If they can’t get their site to work properly then why should they be concerned with yours? The only part that seemed to work was the Paypal link for you to pay for Web hosting.

Another thing that annoyed me was that they were offering a "lifetime" membership for the low price of sixty dollars. This is an example of another “too good to be true” promotions. A web server cannot really be run in such a manner.

So remember to watch out for these “remarkable” deals. There are folks out there that only want your money, and not your business. Thankfully though there are a lot more honest and hard working folks that hate these practices as much as me such as iPowerweb, The Quantum Host, and APlus.net. Even if it takes a little longer, or costs a little more, take the time to find an all around good web host. Do your homework, and you will be happy for many web hosting years to come.
