I don’t know about you but the idea to me of living a longer life is quite good! And working more (or at least continuing to work a lot) will mean more profit so more money. So if I work long and hard I will have more money and live to a greater age. What a mix!

So we may complain about working hard, but it will actually help us in more ways than 1.

However it can affect the success of your website. If you stuggle to manage your website then development of the actual site will be slow, costing you time and money.

It is important that you pick either cPanel or FTP and master it. Even if you are only ever intending to set-up and run one website, you want to be fully confident and sure in what you are doing. I run quite a few websites and have done for a few years now, I’ve always used cPanel and feel very comfortable using it. On the other hand I know nothing about FTP and never intend to manage any website via FTP.

Conclusion
When you are looking for a new hosting provider make sure you get hosting with your preferred choice, and stick with it throughout your online journey. Because if you chop and change between the two it could affect your success!

FreeStockImages.net reported on their new Free Unlimited Image Hosting service which requires no sign-up and has very few adverts to annoy you. This is a great place to store all your images and save on your precious disk space. Some image host providers all offer upgrade services which you have to pay for but you get extra services for your money.

Once you’ve uploaded your images most host providers will allow you to keep them hosted for an indefinite amount of time so you don’t need to worry about constantly returning to the hoster!

• Cheap hosts often have more downtime. When your website is down people can’t visit it, these visitors may have bought from you or clicked an adsense ad on your site. And by not seeing your site they are also highly unlikely to be a return visitor!
• Cheap hosts often oversell too much on servers. Overselling is what allows cheap hosts to provide hosting at such a low cost. If overselling gets out of hand the cpu and ram become overloaded and your site is down! If this happens once again you lose customers/return visitors.
• Slow performance can annoy visitors. If your website loads quite slowly (this could be down to your coding, not the server) visitors will get annoyed and probably not want to visit your site again.
• When your site expands you will then have money to move to larger/better hosting package. In the process you will need to mvoe the site to the new hosting, this can often have problems causing errors and requires the site to be offline for hours/days whilst the move is complete. Being on a quality host from the start avoids this.
• Poor customer service from the host. Cheap hosts sometimes scrimp on the support staff as well, so getting answers when you have urgent problems can take longer than on more costly hosts.
• Less customer features. Some hosts provide unique features for members, whether it is web design templates or extra cpanel features. Cheap hosts often won’t provide anything extra which may have helped your website.

In this blog post i’ve listed 6 reasons why going with a cheap host is not a good idea, Im sure those with poor experiences could list even more reasons. For the sake of an extra $4 or $5 per month I highly recommend going with a quality host! You get what you pay for!

Good research helps you make better decisions. Thankfully the amount of webmaster forums means you can research all aspects of webmastering relatively quickly and completely free. Research about host providers is important because you don’t want to establish your website on a poor hosting account.

If you are looking to change your hosting provider or are setting up a new website and are finding hosting for the first time then getting opinions on hosting providers can help you make your mind up. The best way to do this is to visit your favorite webmaster forums and start a new thread with a poll attached. Something like “Please rate your experience at HostGator out of 10″ (or whoever you are thinking of using), then just let members that use the provider give a rating and see what posts they leave on the thread.

You could do this for different hosting providers, within a couple of days you should have gained the info you need at zero cost!
