I have learned in the past few years to stay away from big companies when it comes to hosting, so much so that a few years ago I opened my own hosting company just to make sure my clients’ websites are secure and working as I wanted them and as they should.
Now there are several reasons that these shared hosting accounts they are selling are absolutely useless, and can only hurt your business, but most of them are technical. But please know this:
“Authors should not be using cheap $7 unlimited, or free accounts!”. That only works if you are not doing anything serious.
But you’ll regret it if you get a big hit one day, like making best seller status, or you get picked up by some sort of popular blog or a have a really good FREE promo campaign.
Then there is a good possibility your shared Godaddy or similar website will become really slow or unresponsive.
And you risk that all your efforts are wasted.
I asked my development team to explain why we are better than Godaddy or other similar hosting companies out there, so the topic from now on becomes a bit technical.
- Cpanel Interface
- CloudLinux Resource Allocations
- LiteSpeed Webserver
- Degree of Overselling
- Datacenters
After some research, I found out I am not the only sharing this belief. There are hundreds of articles about the problems with these cheap shared hosting plans, here is one for Forbes.com – 5 Reasons To Leave Goda
If you are not a technical person, you will always struggle and spend way too much energy fixing, patching or updating your website or blog when you can use that time to write.
