Although most of the plans are normally the same, there are a few things you should be aware of before signing up a plan.
How much resources do you need?
It depends on how many domains you have or plan to have and how much traffic you will receive for each domain. As you search through the internet, you will discover many web hosting companies provide unlimited disk storage, domain hosting, subdomains, email accounts, bandwidth, add-on domains, parked domains and others.
The plan looks very attractive and should you take up the offer? If you are only having a small business, 1 GB of disk storage and 1 GB of bandwidth are actually more than enough. You do not need unlimited resources. The risks of signing up an ‘unlimited’ plan are:
Oversell
Some web hosting companies may oversell its service. For instance, there are a lot of users sharing the limited disk space. Therefore, offering unlimited resources may not possible unless the web hosting companies add new equipments. On the other hand, ‘unlimited’ plan may open to abuse too. Users may upload and transfer large files. Thus, they are using up all the resources.
Overpay
If you only have a single domain with little web traffic, then paying $4 - $6 a month for ‘unlimited’ plan is waste of money. You are paying something that you are not fully using it. Therefore, you can actually select a smaller plan at the price of $1 - $2 per month. Then, you can save some money now and use it to promote your website or renew your domain in future.
However, there are a few exceptional cases where you may subscribe the ‘unlimited’ plan.
First, you are having more than 5 domain names. Small plan usually does not allow you to host more than 1 or 2 domains. Thus, you have no choice but to choose a larger plan. Second, you want to upload and play a lot of video or audio files on your website. Thus, streaming either video or audio files will definitely consume more resources like disk space and bandwidth. In this case, an ‘unlimited’ plan should be appropriate to you. However, not all web hosting service companies provide streaming video or audio support. So, you have to verify with them before subscribing the plan.
In conclusion, searching for a good web hosting company and plan is important to avoid hassle in future.
