Everyone knows that managed hosting services can cost from zero to several hundred dollars. One can obtain web hosting services free of charge just as he can find himself spending hundreds and even thousands of dollars for the same service. Because of this, a lot of people are wondering if there is even a difference between the cheap and expensive services available these days. If you’re referring to the typical shared web hosting service that goes within the $6 to $20 range, then there really is no difference apart from the marketing hype, that is.
A recent survey was conducted on five shared web hosting accounts to determine the differences between free and paid services. The results from the survey are quite shocking. The said research was conducted while keeping certain factors such as basic site requirements in check. These site concerns include sufficient disk space and email accounts as well as reasonable bandwidth. After going over the other additional features, the survey found that there were only a few businesses and organizations that are willing to spend extra for the bells and whistles that a lot of providers throw into their account packages. A lot of those who were surveyed also opted for short term subscriptions – e.g. monthly or quarterly – instead of the long term contracts.
As such, the research concluded that while organizations can spend a lot on basic shared web hosting, the same services can also be acquired for a lower price. There are just certain features that justify the extra charges but in general, the cheaper is the better option.
