Haggle Hosts And Compare Prices To Get A Better Deal
By Summer Hosting | August 20, 2008
I recently decided to change my reseller hosting provider. I manage quite a few websites through my reseller hosting so good customer service is very important to me for when problems arise on various sites, this is something my old host provider wasn’t very good at!
I started off by doing quite a bit of research using a checklist I put together, the provider had to be UK based and I didn’t want to be spending more than £20 ($40) per month, as well as a few other requirements. Having came down to 3 companies I then decided to use forums for opinions.
In a thread on a UK business forum I am apart of a couple of other host providers contacted me about if I would be interested in using them. I told them my requirements and asked them to give me their best price, as well as the company I am currently expecting to go with (just to get the price lower!).
A few chats later I had got myself some great reseller hosting which beat my requirements and came in well under my monthly budget - the hosting is also very fast and the support from the host so far has been brilliant.
Conclusion
To get the best price for your hosting always contact companies saying you have slightly different requirements to the packages they sell and if they could offer you a price for your needs. Get quite a few quotes and tell them what prices other companies are offering.
You can soon have yourself some great hosting at a really good price!
