Finding a good host has become a tricky business of late. It is primarily due to the vast number of companies that have sprouted in the past few years. Finding a good host does not involve just statistics about performance. Instead, it also involves finding the best affordable hosting company. This is because every penny you save from choosing affordable web hosting plans means that you will be having that little bit extra for investing in your website. Yes, you can opt for cheap shared hosting option. However, it has to be the most reliable option and it does not take long before you notice that it is very difficult to get both.

If you have web hosting knowledge or just want to have ultimate control over every aspect of your web site at the drop of a hat, Shared Web Hosting may not be for you. There are many hosts that provide wonderful customer service, but they must have administrative control since the server holds multiple accounts, not just yours. If maintaining your server and having supreme control does not interest you, then Shared Web Hosting is most likely your best bet.

Below are a few more Shared Web Hosting UK but I could go into great detail and do not want to confuse you. If you have the time, look into all of them by using your favourite search engine and decide which is best for you.

I have recently shared a customer's nightmare with a supposedly reputable domain registrar. All they wanted was their domain pointing to a different DNS server (the server that tells the internet where your website is), a simple request, they received no response from any of their emails. I didn't like their silence and suggested we actually move the domain to my registrar instead, more emails sent, more silence, weeks of it!

Cost: For Affordable Web Hosting, always choose a reputed web hosting company. Do not think about free PHP hosting because you will definitely get a bad experience if you choose it. Other side you may find many hosting companies who provide you PHP hosting in cheap rate.

A host usually offers several hosting plans at different levels of need. The basic plan usually costs the least. Determine how much storage you will need for your web files. If you plan to upload a lot of images, or if you choose post a video, you will need enough storage for your files.

If you're not comfortable asking a company a whole bunch of questions then just find a friend who has a few websites online and ask them which host they use - like I said a recommendation from a trusted friend is worth its weight in gold when it comes to shared web hosting.
