Shared Web Hosting is basically a slew of websites on one server, sharing the same resources. PRO: It's cost-effective and ideal for beginners. CON: Because you are sharing with so many neighbors (other people), if someone screws up, or get a big traffic spike, your sight could go down with there's. However, I do recommend this if you're just starting out. As long as you pick a solid host, you will be fine. NOTE: As your site start to pay for itself, you'd want to upgrade to a Virtual Private Server, or a VPS. With a VPS, you can start low and gradually scale up as needed. In other words, when your site starts to make progress, let's say about 80,000 page views a month, that's when you'd want to upgrade to a VPS.
Shared Web Hosting UK is a kind of platform that will experience growth. Therefore, you need to find a company that allows that growth and not limit you from it. A good provider will have certain solutions for a consumer when the time comes. This is known as upgrades. Websites needs to upgrade their bandwidth, disk space and so on and it is important to get that service. This should be available without huge fees but affordable.
Up-time is the over all time the hosting company promises that their servers will be up and running. Some claim to have 100% up-time, but I find that to be almost impossible to have so I tend to go with the ones claiming a 99,9% up-time. This tells us that even though they take back-ups, have mirrored servers and all other stuff to keep the servers safe and running, there is always a small possibility that the servers can go down.
Affordable Web Hosting company should provide a unlimited domains and unlimited sub domains hosting. Well, if you are not going to host more than one website than it is fine to select hosting with limited domains hosting but it should at least provide unlimited sub domains hosting. Most of the hosting companies provide unlimited domains hosting.
Ask for reviews about particular provider in the leading hosting/webmaster forums. This way you will be able to find out more about host's reputation among its peers. You will see what are the pros and cons of the service. Note there is no "perfect provider" but there are a lot of awful ones.
My one bit of good advice is do not sign up with any server for a long period of time to start with. It will be cheaper in the long run but at first just sign up for a little while. Try before you buy, make sure that the service provider is able to meet your expectations. If it does, then sign up for a longer period and save money.
