Cheap And Reliable web Hosting How to Decide?

If are looking for a good web hosting company who offers cheap but reliable web hosting solution for quite a while.
The keywords here are cheap and reliable and for some reason these two words do not want to go together very well
If you are willing to pay big money then you have nothing to worry about… your options are endless. My focus
is finding that sweet spot where reliability meets affordability. I update this page with my findings on affordable
web hosting solutions. Hopefully this information will be of some help to someone looking to find a good web hosting company.

I am very strict when it comes to the reliability of the web hosting company. Server uptime is very important for
anyone who has a website doing whatever business that they are doing. If your site is down when a visitor or customer
goes to your site then you are losing traffic and business. In addition to losing temporary customers,
if your site goes down frequently then there is a good chance that your customers will get annoyed and will try
to avoid coming to your site in the future.

Most web hosting companies guarantee 99.9% Server uptime but in reality a lot of them do not deliver 99.9% server
uptime that they guarantee. Most of the time you won’t even know that your site was down and you lost customers.
None of your visitors complained doesn’t really mean that your site was up 100% that month.

I am particularly interested in a reseller account. A reseller account that allows you to create multiple cPanel
based websites. The ability to create multiple cPanel based website is really useful as each website has individual
cPanel control panel for administration purpose. Not many of the cheap web hosting companies offer reseller account
with the ability to create multiple cPanel based websites.

I was with Surpass Hosting and even though they have a 99.9% uptime guarantee, recently my site has been going down
frequently. When you complain to them they reply to you with the result of the UNIX ‘uptime’ command which shows
the length of time the system has been up, saying our servers were up all month! The system was up all month doesn’t
necessarily mean that your site wasn’t down (The CPU load could have been at 100% so it wasn’t processing any other
requests and hence your site was not accessible).
I have decided to change my web hosting provider and after doing some research I found that Web Hosting Buzz offers
the cheapest reseller hosting solutions and looks reliable (from their server uptime data)
