Is Cheap Web Hosting Service in Singapore Possible?

With inflation issues and rising cost in Singapore, finding a quality service provider that is cheap is a tedious task. For some users, the one big downside of having an unmanaged dedicated host is that you must be your own server administrator.

These hosting services are with cheap rates. So,what things that should be keep in mind while looking for cheap web hosting services?

1) First, check company’s background and verify that whether the hosting company is reputable or not. Be sure the hosting service provider offers as much disk space as you want.

2) Disk Space Consideration & Features

How much hosting disk space your site takes in order to compare service provider’s plans. Most people on shared servers will not have access to a command line to be able to use the chmod command. Make sure that you know your needs before you start looking for your web host. In general, a disk space with 500 MB to 1000 MB should be enough to meet your hosting requirement.

3) Other Services to Consider

Even an cheap web-hosting provider can offer domain registration or domain renewal as part of their hosting package. Some, will actually register your good domain in their name. This way, they locked you into service with them as switching web hosting providers now means losing your domain name. Be careful. A host that supports databases is normally a must have feature

5) Traffic Generation

If you found the traffic to your site has increased over the specified bandwidth limit, you should select a higher hosting plan. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data (pages, files) served from your website to your customers, if your website will be subject to high traffic, you will need to take the amount of bandwidth the host provides.

Anyway, look for ones with good reputations or just email them and compare their quickly results from different places. The question you should ask an existing customer is; “how reliable is the host?”.
