Web hosting services is a very competitive industry. 2 of the most common or mostly used are the shared hosting or the dedicated hosting.

Some hosts are giving very cheap shared web hosting rates and includes an array of added services - reduced first year fee, free months, discount coupon, free fist year, rebate and etc.

You can easily find a very cheap hosting from $4~$10 per month. I’m personally using BlueHost and I’ve nothing to complain.

Where possible, you should look at the quality of service along with the rates.

Does cheaper rates go hand in hand with reliability?

Get to know the data transfer speed for relatively smaller files across the network.

Other things to check will be high volumes, distance or securities.

Consider dedicated hosting for independent server hosting where you can have your entire website in an entire server.

You do not have to share space, bandwidth or any other feature with any other website especially if you are expecting a heavy amount of traffic for this particular site.

Then there is this term call green hosting as the global warming awareness increases. So naturally green hosting is very environmental friendly. How can this be possible where servers consume huge amount of power and servers’ room are always kept cold.

Yes, they uses alternative energy.

I really didn’t know about this until I stumbled across www.webhostinggeeks.com.
What I liked about the site is that I can see at a glance all the comparisons between each type of hosting, be it shared, dedicated or green.

There’s even an award section. Interesting! So you can see which are really the best hosting you can consider.

I’m glad to find out that the price is not more expensive with green hosting. So well worth going green for your hosting!
