When to Choose Cheap Web Hosting
Are there times when choosing cheap web hosting is better than more costly service? Absolutely! The wide availability of web hosting companies means that cheap web hosting has to be more and more competitive. This translates to enhanced services and support that used to be considered advanced or added costs to a service plan.
Only a few years ago, cheap web hosting was exactly what it sounded like, a bargain-basement arrangement for space on a server and an FTP site to load applications, data and graphics which the individual or company would then have to handle. Such simple forms of cheap web hosting are almost a thing of the past. Informed consumers and professionals should be aware that some companies still make these “bare bones” arrangements available, but they are no longer a good way to go. Instead, cheap web hosting will generally offer space on a shared server along with a nice arrangement of useful applications and services.
What kinds of services or arrangements are available in cheap web hosting packages? Today, many cheap web hosting providers can actually offer their clients such niceties as domain ownership for the life of their account, enormous quantities of disk or storage space, site builder software or applications, diverse operating platform compatibility (including Linux and Windows among others), email accounts, e-commerce applications and assistance, spam and security protection and the server maintenance and updates necessary to fast downloads and network stability.
Clearly this is a far cry from the earlier versions of cheap web hosting, but just as the old saying states “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”, and a bit of research into each company is a very wise choice.
There are many Internet locations in which to seek out information about potential cheap web hosting candidates, including each company’s own website, and a good method of acquiring accurate and impartial information is through web hosting reviews. Just like any other consumer good or service, a cheap web hosting company is open to both positive and negative feedback from its current, and past, clients and their opinions provide other consumers with excellent information.
Visitors to CompareWebHosting.com can gain access to a wide range of information through the directory’s comparison generating options. For example, a consumer seeking cheap web hosting will be able to indicate their individual needs, such as e-commerce or virtual server requirements, and receive a comprehensive list of pre-screened, reliable providers.

Cheapest website hosting where you can pay for an entire year?
Where can I find a cheap/affordable website hosting site to create a site for my boss’s video store. We want to be able to pay for an entire year and have many options to choose from when building the site. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You can try host gator, check it out at least

I recommend one of these: http://www.tophostingpicks.com
iPage has the best offer right now.
Their standard price is $84/year ($6.95) but they have
a 50% sale, one year of hosting for $42.00.
Their plan includes:
Unlimited disk space
Unlimited bandwidth
Free domain name
Price: $42/year ($3.50)
They have one of the most popular hosting platforms, which currently hosts over a million websites. They’re also one of the oldest hosting companies, founded in 1998.
They include a free point & click online site builder so you can create a website without any programming (easily, just by drag and drop).
They also have a great custom control panel with OneClick installs of all the popular software like WordPress, Joomla, Forums, Chat, Galleries, Online stores and a lot more.

Personally I would choose Bluehost.com with whom I have been for 6 years with virtually no problems.
I use other hosting accounts but for all day to day web-hosting requirements I will use Bluehost.
It does depend slightly where you are in the world, but I am UK based and although Bluehost is in the US I find it better than any of the UK hosting companies I have used.
What I particularly like about it both for me and for any web-design clients I may recommend to use it is that it has live-chat and 800 call support chat 24 hours a day. Its prices are very low. They have a first year offer which is I think $4 per month, I would suggest getting the maximum length you can buy. They are very good at talking any non technical clients of mine through problems.
You have the added advantage that you can host other domains on the same server so theoretically your boss could host his business site on there, a personal site and his wife’s business company too.
They also have a vast array of different website building options for you. Personally I recommend WordPress as being the easiest. Bluehost have something called SimpleScripts as well as Fantasos for installing different options but Simple Scripts is more up to date.
I think that Hostgator is probably the second best, although I have heard more horror stories with them than with Bluehost, although in neither case have I heard many.
When you say that you are a video store would you also want to host lots of videos on your site? If you do you may want to consider getting an Amazon S2 server account for hosting the videos. There is some great software called Easy Video Player which makes uploading videos to your website incredibly easy.
Finally I am an affiliate for Bluehost but I am an affiliate because I recommend them not just to make money. Anyway if you want Bluehost and contact me I will split my affiliate commission with you!
Hope that helps!
