Buying a Host and Get It Cheap
Before you buy the host
Buying a host for your website is not just about using your credit card and pay for it. It is much complicated than that. You should consider about many things before you do so. First of all, ask one of your friends who already has a host and see if he/she could possibly kind enough to provide you with free host. Give it a try. You got nothing to lose. If your friend doesn’t provide you host, then you could look for to buy one.
These days many websites offer unlimited web space and unlimited bandwidth. Do not let them fool you! There is no such thing as unlimited.
Everything has a limit. Someone just can not offer you unlimited web space. Does not unlimited web space or bandwidth sound a bit excessive?
If you think my statement is incorrect, you could try buying a host plan that offers unlimited web space. Then, upload 200 MB of files in your
account. Next day, you will probably get an email saying that your account has been suspended. But there is nothing you can do about it. If you
contact your host provider, they will simply tell you to their Term of Use which is like 10 pages long. Somewhere in that TOS you will find that
they reserve the right to suspend you account anytime without any given reason. Hence, don’t let the word “unlimited’ fool you. Even it has a limit.
Think very carefully on the subject of how much web space and bandwidth you will be needed. Trust me if you are making a personal website, you would
not need that much. This is pretty big site with lots of contents and surprisingly it uses roughly about only 10 MB. You may not need more than 150 MB
of web space and 10 GB of bandwidth unless you are planning to have a site where users can download big files. It is a different in that case.
Okay, now that you decided how much space and bandwidth you need, you are most likely ready to buy your host.

Trust me, you don’t want to be their customer! In addition, make sure the host offers all the things you need.
