While there are countless web hosts online that offer “cheap” services, nowhere near all of them are worth their price regardless of how low they go. This is because many web hosting services are low in quality and are not capable of fulfilling some of the most basic needs. There are, however, high-quality web hosting services around at pretty low rates, some as low as 150 INR per month; though it requires a little bit of effort to find them.
It is common to assume that high quality, reliable web hosting service would cost a fair bit of money, like 500 or even more rupees per month. While you certainly can find a lot of great web hosts at this price range, you can find similar advanced services such as unlimited databases, SQL and ASP.Net at much lower prices if you remain patient and dig a little deeper.
There are a few things to look for when browsing cheaper web hosting services that will ensure you are getting your money’s worth. First and foremost, downtime can be very expensive for your online business, making it important for clients to be able to contact technical support by phone as well as email. Any quality web host will have this kind of support available.
It’s crucial to take a close look at the amount of disk space that is included in the monthly rate. In most cases, the less disk space being used, the cheaper the rate, though make sure you’re not going to exceed the limit as additional space can be extremely expensive. It is beneficial to consider not only the current needs of your website but also its potential future needs, especially in terms of growth. Web hosts that offer unlimited disk space are generally the safest route. The same is true in terms of bandwidth.
Some other things any good web host would offer are tools and templates to design and maintain your site on your own. Without these tools, you are subject to hiring a web designer to develop your website or even perform simple maintenance, all of which could end up costing more than going with a slightly better web host.
Start by searching for cheap web hosting services in general, and then begin narrowing them down by considering all of the above. At first, the results are overwhelming, though by focusing on the quality of quantity, any website developer is bound to make the most cost-effective decision possible.
