Old,New Host – Which is Cheaper?
Webhosts’ Competition
Wherever there are many players, there must be competition. And that’s why the Internet is one fierce battleground for all, including cheap hosting companies, both old and new, in spite of their fairly comparative advantages.
Site owners sometimes get mixed up when it’s time to choose a reliable host. You’re confronted with the question of new or established webhosts especially when the hosting fee is not an issue.
Both old and new hosts have their pluses and minuses.
Old Webhosts
These include hosts that have been in business for at least 10 years.
They have
1 benefit of experience which matters in any undertaking. This helps in solving problem
2 pools of experts and veterans in the industry. They can quickly assess situations and handle operations efficiently.
3 established brand names – brand prominence.
4 established customer bases, sizable market shares which can boost clients’ confidence.
5 stakes in the market leadership.
However, from my own experience, some old hosts charge high hosting fees – which are not justified.
Again, because of their brand prominence, some old webhosts aren’t that gentle on their customers. I had a raw deal with one when I was starting out. They might not be quite patient with you internet fingerlings when they have other big fish to fry.
New Hosts
These are hosts that are less than 10 years old in the industry. They are:
1 aggressive in their marketing in quest for new clients.
2 not experienced but ready to snatch the old hands from their competitors.
3 good at maxing out the latest in hosting technology.
4 still scrambling for their market shares so they have cheap hosting plans.
The major problem with new hosts is consistency which makes their prospects hesitant.
Some hosts have come and gone overnight – with their clients’ sites.
However, I have sorted out some cheap hosts who are established, consistent, and well equipped to host and sustain your internet presence.
