Choosing a cheap hosting

It so happened that some time ago I had to choose a cheap hosting. Normal - PHP / MySQL, which thousands and which will be based on a couple dozen small sites ...

I was looking for all sorts of hosting offices in Google, read hundreds of reviews on the forums, found “black” and “white” lists, but people's opinions differed. Then I decided to check myself who are the web hosting companies that I heard about the most.

I made a list for myself and began to analyze the main parameters.
I tried some myself, some just dropped it looking at ridiculous tariff plans.

My conclusions and tips:
  1. Almost all tariff plans do not suit me. I do not want to pay extra money for mail, for I can link Google mail to my domain.
  2. I do not want to be limited in domain names.
    Imagine that one account is limited to three domains, and if I pay, for example, for a dedicated IP, then let it be tied to all my domains, I just feel sorry for the money for the second account, which I will have to pay for another IP, although you can was to use one.
  3. The option "turnkey tariff" is present in many hosters, but very often it is useless.
    For example, increasing the number of domains on one of the hosting sites I reviewed - “plus one” domain cost me + $ 1. What to pay for? I do not understand.
  4. Carefully read the conditions (rules) hosting.
    Do not hammer and do not be lazy. Usually, a “refund” within 30 days is the norm. But there are all sorts of "magic" web hosting in which the rules stipulate that money from your account can not be returned.
  5. Pay attention to the quality of the caliper.
    Keep in mind that normal tech support will always connect you to an “exotic” extension to PHP, etc. If you already choose from a couple of hosters, be sure to look for feedback on the support.
  6. Check if there are affiliate programs.
    As experience has shown, sometimes you can advise a friend, give a link to one, another, and then the account completely lives with referrals. A nice little thing, isn't it?
  7. Most importantly, the stone that I hit:
    Great importance is given to the figures of the permissible load on the server.
    This is the maximum percentage of CPU load, memory consumption, query execution time in the database.
    Thanks to these numbers, one of my accounts on one of the famous hosting sites lay for two weeks, after which I was removed.
    And all the sites were moved to another hosting, where they successfully work to this day.


For those who are interested, I will give examples of hosting on which I stopped:

Jino.ru - slowly, cheaply, the caliper is good, it was they who blocked my acc. But the second one is still working and I am partially satisfied, mainly with the price.

Ruweb.ws - here I liked a cheap reseller. I did it, took it and made a separate account for each of my site with its own settings and restrictions. It turned out very comfortable and not expensive.

I want to try another imhoster.net - they recently had an unlimited tariff. If who tried it - share opinion.

I do not impose on you, habrachelovek, the services of these companies, I want to help you avoid mistakes that I made.
