Unlimited trick

Some of the web hosting providers use unlimited resources from unlimited bandwidth to unlimited storage and more in their advertising. Unlimited resources are often advertised on shared hosts. Note that unlimited resources are available to all your neighbors. If you once exceed claims of unlimited bandwidth, they will impose artificial throttles and slow down your website thus indirectly penalizing you.

Web hosting package with no refund

When looking for web hosts, you can meet find one that offers a free trial and/or a refund guarantee. Some web hosting companies do not provide a refund guarantee for their starter packages. So, you should choose one that offers a money-back guarantee in case you select the wrong package. Most hosting providers offer anywhere from 30 to 60 days with one offering a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Overpaying

The offerings of web hosting providers have different prices for various time periods. So, if you prefer a one-year plan, the price can go up. You should check all the details in the package including time, price, features, and more. You can see some options like free SSL, hosting of 2 websites, and a free domain. Please check it before paying.

Ignoring security

One of the most common mistakes while choosing a web hosting provider is not to consider if the web host is secure. To involve conducting monetary transactions are heavily regulated and have strict security requirements. But if you will run your personal blog, you should not completely ignore security features. At least you need protection against spam and encrypting your traffic with an SSL certificate.

Poor customer service

You should research the company’s history and read customer reviews, on an independent website. Consider the time when something goes wrong, you don’t want to contact horrible customer support. Whether you’re stuck or just want some tips on where to start, you should reach customer support 24/7/365 through the chat widget.

Inconvenient web hosting package

There are two main types of web hosting packages you can select: shared or VPS. VPS can work with its own operating system and can be operated independently from the physical server. It is required for websites with high traffic. If your website is small and straightforward, you sholud choose shared hosting. If your small website grows in the future, you can always switch over to VPS hosting or dedicated hosting. You should read 7 types of web hosting you can consider.

Lack of sufficient research

Research is the best way to find the right web hosting provider. You should read about the companies’ history, products, services and more. There are environmentally friendly web hosting companies that offset all the energy they use. It is also important to read reviews to have a website hosting information about each provider.
