What should be the price for hosting?

Price of web hosting varies from one to another hosting company. Only in United State you can find thousands of web hosting companies offer different web hosting plan with price variation. Price may be start from as low as $5 per month to $500 per month depends on the type of web hosting. There are many variations in plan also like, virtual hosting, dedicated hosting, linux hosting, windows hosting, shared hosting, reseller hosting, etc. So, the price of package depends on the service you selected to host your website. In a market you will find many cheap hosting company but keep in mind, cheap is always cheap, because they provide web hosting service at low cost so their server will be of low configuration, internet speed is also not steady, they cant afford T type internet lines. So, if you choose any cheap web hosting company then you probably need to know about their server configuration, their internet connection, how many websites they host on a server. These all things make difference on the performance of your website and as well in your business.

Now let discuss around our main point. If you dont have idea about what type of web hosting plan is better for you then you need to ask your friends or family members if they have any idea about web hosting plans. Otherwise ask some simple question to your self and you will definitely get good answer, like

What I want to with my websites? If you have website ready and digging around web to host it somewhere then you must ask your self about your website. If you created a website simple for an identity of your company and small sites with some information about company than you can go for cheap web hosting company. If you have a business and want high traffic from search engine you probably need reliable hosting company because your most traffic come through your website and if your website performance effect due to high bandwidth usage than you probably towards loss. So, if you run a big e-commerce website than its better to own a server. That is called dedicated hosting in which web hosting company provide good server space, highly configured server, good bandwidth and excellent connectivity to internet so your website visitor can access your website anytime without any interruption. The price of a dedicated hosting is big.
If you have small dynamic website developed using PHP than you need to host your website on Linux based platform. If site developed using ASP, .NET or any other Microsoft Application than you need Windows server. The price of linux hosting is little less compare to windows sever as windows server need licensed version. There are many variation in linux and windows hosting like dedicated, virtual, shared, etc.
