    Default Why isn't hosting valued more?

    I've always found it odd that some people are unwilling to pay more than a few dollars per month for hosting, considering other expenses. If you buy a coffee once a week, you are probably spending more than you would on most cheap/commodity hosts. If you have cable TV, you're probably spending more than most VPS hosts.

    Considering how important hosting is, based on complaints when it goes down, why don't people choose to a pay a little more for better service? Why is it that so many people out there expect unbelievable reliability for a few dollars per month? Especially if your livelihood (or at elast part of it) is based off your website.

    If you are asking who the lowest priced hosting provider is, then you are asking yourself the wrong query. Hey, you can find free hosting, but that is not necessarily a lovely thing. Cheap doesn't always equate itself with a bargain.

    I think those people who're not willing to pay for hosting are just not serious about their[FONT='trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif][/FONT]business. And ironic thing is that most of them are trying to build some "facebook" or other popular sites.

    I agree that if you are just looking for the cheapest than you don't care about quality. If clients are willing to pay a few more dollars for their hosting then the clients service and support will increase by 10X. I always try to point out that a few more dollars spent on a reliable host will be recovered easily with one bad incident on a discount host that will fail to provide good uptime or support and may even just disappear into the night. When looking for hosting many times you will save yourself time and money by spending a few extra dollars in the beginning.
